Scholarship recipients may also be invited to participate in one of our comprehensive scholarly communities, which offer an even greater breadth and depth of engaging learning opportunities.
Presidential Scholarship
Academically exceptional freshmen may earn a four-year UB Presidential Scholarship, the most selective and highly valued award in all of SUNY. The required application is available through the Honors College. Finalists interview on campus. Presidential scholars participate in the Honors College and must maintain rigorous academic standards to retain their award.
Provost Scholarship
High-achieving freshmen are considered for Provost Scholarships. Award amounts are based on academic merit and cost of attendance. No additional application is needed. These scholarships are renewable for either two or four years for students who maintain continuing eligibility requirements.
Empire State Diversity Honors/Daniel Acker Scholarship

College of Arts and Sciences Dean's Scholarship
Prospective freshmen majoring in College of Arts and Sciences academic programs who earn Provost Scholarships, may also be selected for a Dean's Scholarship upon admission. No additional application is needed. These special awards are made available through the generosity of alumni and friends of UB.

Delicious! I had to omit the raisins and chickpeas as I had none on hand, but it was delicious nevertheless. Tasted the sauce for flavour before adding the chicken as you suggested and decided to add just a little soy sauce to add some saltiness and flavour. Will definitely make again - well worth it - thank you.
Sounds great. I know somebody who will absolutely love this. Thanks
I made this tonight for my family and they loved it. My 3yo son never eats his dinner but tonight he ate his and then finished off his sisters. Thanks

SHEBOYGAN, Wis. -- Schultz Sav-O Stores here said increasing business for its wholesale segment boosted earnings, despite reduced sales, for the third quarter and 40 weeks ended Oct. 8. to $341.2 million.

This was really wonderful. Someone who almost never cooks asked for the recipe after eating this. I also garnished this with round slices of the citrus that was used for zest and it was lovely. I will certainly make this again and again. Thank you for the terrific recipe.
Very Very Good! Fast - Easy and delicious!!
I have served this several times. My family loves it, as well as dinner guests we have had. It's fairly simple, and delish!!!
Rita, This was excellent! The flavor of the poaching liquid really gave the salmon such a nice flavor. The fish came out sooo moist and flaky. I actually made half the recipe, which worked out just fine. My salmon fillets were a bit thick, so my cook time was a few minutes longer then was stated. The only substitution I made was using vegetarian "chicken" broth in place of regular. As I'm writing this, I see your extra notes under "reviews and comments" I might take your suggestion when I make this again (because I WILL make this again!) to saute the vegies and lemongrass first, just to soften them a bit more. Anyone else who tries this, I recommend that you take Rita's suggestion and serve it with the jasmine (or whatever you prefer) rice. The rice is great for all that extra, flavorful poaching liquid.
I`ve also sauteed the onions,carrots,lemongrass, and garlic in olive oil till translucent. Then added the keffer lime leaves and chicken stock, orange juice, grapefruit juice, white wine. Then follow to step 2.

This Georgia country/folk band is comprised of Zac Brown, Jimmy De Martini, John Driskell Hopkins, Coy Bowles, Chris Fryar, Clay Cook and Daniel de los Reyes. After graduating from college, Brown opened a music club and restaurant featuring southern style food and music, but was later bought out by a developer, so he purchased a bus and started touring. They had commercial success with their album, The Foundation, and singles "Chicken Fired," "Toes," "Highway 20 Ride" and "Free" all hitting number one. One-by-one each band member has been carefully selected by Brown, with Daniel de los Reyes being added this last year. This year their album Uncaged won them a Grammy Award for Best Country Album and they are currently on tour in support of that album. Concerts are a mix of bluegrass, country and folk with strong instrumentation and Browns soulful voice. Don't miss out; TicketCity is a great source for concert tickets!

In 2012 the Zac Brown Band toured, often touring with big headliners and often times have stolen the show. They have wooed the crowds with their covers like "The Devil Went Down To Georgia" and "Sweet Emotion," to hits that move you from love to break-up, "As She's Walking Away" to "Goodbye In Her Eyes," the band keeps the crowd engaged and the non-stop two hour show going. On their own they played a near capacity crowd at the Alliant Energy Center in Madison, WI., with a guest list of Sonia Leigh, Blackberry Smoke and Levi Lowery -- artists from Brown's own record label, Southern Ground Records.
On October 5 Zac Brown Band hits the road again in support of their new album, Uncaged. This 20-city concert tour is scheduled to have a "Southern Ground Music & Food Festival" along the way in Charleston SC on October 20, featuring Willie Nelson and Family, Natalie Maines, Band Of Horses and Clare Bowen. The tour is expected to continue through 2014 with opening acts like Dugas, Trombone Shorty and Orleans Avenue.
Top venues to host: Hollywood Bowl on October 25, Sleep Train Arena in Sacramento on November 14, Adams Center in Missoula on November 21 and two shows in Detroit at the Joe Louis Arena on New Years Eve and New Years Day.
With a growing number of hits, the set is sure to include, "Chicken Fried," "Colder Weather," covers will include "Devil Went Down To Georgia" and "Into The Mystic," with newly released "The Wind," Sweet Annie" and "Jump Right In" making the list.

text: Torrance, CA and Atlanta, GA (CEDIA) – September 09, 2009 Stewart Filmscreen Corporation®, the industry leader in precision projection screen technologies for the residential and commercial markets, introduces Director's Choice 2.0 an innovative video projection solution that allows for maximum picture size, regardless of the source's aspect ratio without electronic scaling artifacts. In partnership with PMI, LTD., a consulting firm specializing in the design and engineering of world-class home cinemas and professional studios, Stewart Filmscreen has designed the Director's Choice 2.0 solution. It is the ultimate marriage of the world's best screen materials and the most precise masking system available. This reference quality, electrically masked screen system, is purpose-built to meet the requirements of Anthony Grimani's PMI 2.0 video projection solution. PMI's innovative 2.0 video projection solution allows for maximum picture size, regardless of the source's aspect ratio without electronic scaling artifacts. PMI 2.0 is the latest and most dramatic home cinema video display system. It puts the "Wow Factor" back into home cinema. In the evolution from 1.33:1, 1.78:1, and "Constant-Height" 2.35:1, it's the next natural step. The picture area between 2.35 and 1.78 are almost identical, favoring both equally. PMI engineers the projector and screen system to match the viewing angle to the source resolution and maximize picture size across the entire range of current and future formats. Not only can this system create any aspect ratio, but it can present multiple sizes of the same aspect ratio for different source resolutions and even different audience configurations. With the Director's Choice 2.0 built from a 2.0:1 screen area, the solution reduces the amount of screen masking between picture formats and provides a method for displaying multiple aspect ratios while maintaining proper viewing distances based upon picture resolution. With this incredibly flexible approach, the Director's Choice 2.0 may represent the last screen system a homeowner will ever require by providing total flexibility and future proofing of the video screen and masking system. Never again must you cope with unsightly black bars, image cropping or improper picture sizing for lower resolution source material. To guarantee a properly engineered Director's Choice 2.0 solution, Stewart recommends that integrators and dealers consult with PMI's design staff. The four key components in the system include: projector with controllable zoom; Stewart's precision masking screen solution; system engineering; automation control. To ensure consistent masking, Stewart Filmscreen's revolutionary Binary Reciprocal Intelligent Control nicknamed "The BRIC" allows precision settings of all standard and custom aspect ratios to be set with ease, eliminating the need for multiple controllers. Compatible with most infrared remotes, RS-232, and RS-422 control systems, this unique product reduces programming time to a matter of minutes, and is unique, providing the unmatched accuracy of optical encoders for position recall, in a digital closed loop system, as opposed to time based control systems. The Director's Choice 2.0 can be seen in Booth #837 at the Georgia World Congress Center during the CEDIA Expo from September 10-13 in Atlanta, GA. Stewart Filmscreen invites CEDIA dealers and members of the press to learn more about the Director's Choice 2.0 and many other products they will be exhibiting at the show. .About Stewart Filmscreen Stewart Filmscreen is the world's premier projection-screen manufacturer for both the residential and commercial markets. A family-owned business, Stewart Filmscreen maintains the highest standards in screen design and craftsmanship. In fact, each screen is handmade. Founded in 1947, Stewart Filmscreen has grown from a small business to an international one, with offices in Denmark and Singapore, in addition to two in the United States, including a manufacturing facility in Ohio and their headquarters in So. California. More information on Stewart Filmscreen Corporation is available at www.stewartfilmscreen.com.

DB 2005 LbNA # 19604
|Placed Date
|Dec 3 2005
|Oxford, OH
|Found By
|Hike Distance
Once again I find myself at Hueston Woods for yet another mind-numbing meeting...sigh. At least there is letterboxing to occupy my time!
For info about Hueston Woods consult the other boxes located there.
The DB 2005 letterbox is located at the far end of the Cedar Falls trail (park in the far back of the lot). This trail will require a bit of a climb. It is probably not a good choice for letterboxing with your dog or very small kids unless both will stay close to you.
Jump onto the trail from the pullout. Just before the creek it forks. Go right. This route may be impassable in spring or after a heavy rain. You will skirt the creek for a while, then you will begin to climb....climb my pretties....climb. Yoou will pass by a stately old tree to your right. Just pass there take the right fork and head for the cedars that give the falls their name. At the cedars, take the right fork and keep climbing. At the next major fork go left and continue down the ridge. Continue straight down the trail. You will pass a very large tree with all sorts of interesting knobs and knots and uninteresting graffiti. 20 paces further down ths trail is a tree with a built in resting spot. From here you should be able to see another fair size tree with a very cryptic marking (about 10 paces down trail and to the left). Behind this tree is a pair of small logs. At the intersection of these logs lies my cure for the mind-numbing meeting.
Please email me if you find it.

I just wanted to know if there were any long term holders/investors( 3 years or longer), of NYB stock, on this message board, and if so, what do you think of the recent stock price action, as well as your thoughts on the long term prospects for the company?
Why did NYB's stock price take such a hit in the year of 2004? Any thoughts or insights from long term holders would be greatly appreciated.
My cost basis is $14.76/share. I am presently losing money on the position, while you, in turn, are not losing money, you, in your own words are "in deficit, on an accrual basis," which is a sophisticated way of saying, that you are also losing money.
As far as "seeking reassurances" on my NYB stock positions, I am certainly not going to seek that from you. I do my own homework and own up to my gains and losses, rather than be "in deficit, on an accrual basis."
As far as your trading positions making "north of 40% per annum," please save your fabrications and pontifications for some other sucker. By the way, I have a bridge for sale in Manhattan, if your interested - real cheap. I promise that you won't lose money on it, or to quote your words "that you won't be in deficit, on an accrual basis."
I will get lost -from you - and I hope that you get lost from the NYB message board, since you are so full of yourself and b.s. and verbiage, that you may actually start believing what you are printing and saying. Please realize that nobody is "buying" what you are saying and for someone who is supposedly making "north of 40% gains on his trading positions," I am surprised that you are still interested in NYB stock.
Have a good one.
The cost basis of the investment position is 14.67, the share price
13.59; so, yeah, the investment
positions' in deficit on an accrual
basis. Why would I worry about that
considering that the entire banking sector's is a much deeper hole?
Whether you understand it or not
many millions of shares of anything
have been dumped in the last month
and a half just to satisfy creditors
or redemption requests, completely
independent of fundamentals.
I've actually been thinking of
adding some to NYB
The trading positions were never
factored in because they're accounted on a realized basis--when sold or covered. The returns on these balances have been running
very high, well north of 40%
per annum. Actually, that isn't
especially good for such short
term trading, but it does solve
the income problem that causes
people like you to seek reassurance
on what ought to be worry-free
longer term investments.
Look, we owned some of our core
stocks--e.g. XOM--since the 1970's.
Do you think I dig those carrots up
every day to see whether they're
Nor do I think such "successful
investments" are especially
clever. When I do, I compare the
appreciation to something like
the cost of a quart of milk
over the same period.
What's hard about any of this?
The share counts and trading balances
aren't your concern.
Now, get lost.
Your cost basis is $14.67/share and you made how much money? Oh, that's right, you can't tell us that because "you buy assets," and blah, blah, blah. Nobody cares and no one is asking you to list your "300 trades," we simply want to know if you made any money in NYB? If you have to go through 300 trades, just to find your positions in NYB stock, in order to show this message board how much money you made/lost, then you are a trader, my friend. If your cost basis is $14.67/share, then when did you buy your shares and how many do you have?
Do you realize that you love to pontificate, and to hear yourself, or write to yourself, on and on, and on, to make this message board think that you know something. It sounds to me me like you have found a very sophisticated way to lose money and if any other message board readers took the time to actually read your messages (which they don't because they are too boring and tales told by an idiot, full of sound and fury and signifying nothing) they would realize that you are full of hot air.
How much money are you losing? Oh yeah," you are studying capital structures, and asset levels, etc...." And yes, "when you want to make money in stocks we trade them," so I assume that when you buy stocks to hold them, you are not looking to make money then, you are looking to.........?
Good bye. Please save the 5000 word return message, which will say nothing and mean nothing for someone who wants to read it. Realize, that I am the only one who ever reads it and responds, as no one else is interested in reading your self=pontificating treatise.
Wrong again. Look at savings deposits
per share, which have fallen off by
9.45% since 2005, despite the acquisition of three more banks
in the interim.
May mean something. May not. But
how would you know, not having taken
the trouble to learn the facts?
I'm not getting anything from you
on any level, so good night.
You're kidding, right? I just now
gave you that information. If you want the precise number, the cost
basis is now $14.67. Don't know
whether that's above or below
the current quotation.
And I don't care. If you don't
understand why, then you can't
be much of an "investor." Our
accountant could certainly tell
I do care about such matters very
much in the trading stocks; but,
as I told you, we stopped trading
NYB when better, simpler financial
media became available. Wasn't a
bad trade, just not as good as the
other stuff. Not about to go through
the 300 or so trades in the past
two years to find the ten or so
made in the NYB common. FWIW, only
one was closed at a loss and that
was a very small loss.
Maybe, we aren't really "investors"
like you. When we want money from
stocks, we trade them: we do not hold them. Otherwise, I'm mainly
concerned with the asset values:
capital structure, current and
potential income, cash flow.
Maybe this whole controversy's
entirely semantic. You call it
investment. I call it trading.
Even so, I don't understand why
you're wasting your time with NYB,
when you can get so much larger
realizations out of the sector
etfs I've mentioned, (or etfs in
other sectors or, even, leveraged
to indicies.)
It's very simple arithmetic.
What's the average daily spread
between the highs and lows of
XYZ over N days? The greatest
daily excursion offers the greatest
profit potential. Why don't you
know this?
The etf is also much simpler as
you needn't concern yourself
with the fundamentals at all,
since company specific factors
are diversified away--whereas
someone actually invested in
anything would need to know
how it's done, how it's doing,
and how it's most likely to do.
Look, I've tried to be nice to
you, but I'm not really such
a nice person. I think you
are very inexperienced and I
know that you aren't very
intelligent. You should stop
taking council from the sell-side
jokers on CNBC and popular crap
about "investment success," find
yourself some decent and disinterested primary sources, and
think the investment/trading problem
through for yourself. On the technical level, you might begin
with Justin Mamis. On the fundamental, Martin Whitman.
Again, this is how we make our
living; but we had to learn to
think accurately and independently
before we were able to do that.
Don't bother me again with your
phony "inquiries."
NYB is gaining market share, in their specialized niche (multi-family lending on rent-controlled and rent stabilized properties) as we speak. All of their acquisitions have been accretive to earnings and your question as to the merits of Queens County Savings Bank merging with Roslyn Savings Bank speak for themselves. If you were an original investor (oh, that's right, you don't buy NYB stock, you buy "the assets"), when NYB went public (I believe in 1993 or 94) you are a happy camper, since with dividends and price appreciation you have made much money. Therefore, again, as stated above, the merits of Queen County Savings Bank and Roslyn Savings Bank are self-evident.
I don't want to engage in tedious and laborious conversation, unlike yourself.
You have written numerous messages containing numerous paragraphs and yet no mention or sentences are devoted to the simple question I have asked you repeatedly.... have you ever made any money holding NYB stock? Simple question and it does not need a lengthy answer. As an investor, in the stock market, you buy stocks of companies, not assets. You buy them or trade them for the purpose of making money, pure and simple. The b.s. about buying them for "the assets," and pontificating on and on and on, incessantly, is simply an exercise to hear yourself speak and/or write.
I don't mean to be disrespectful or mean-spirited, but can't you simply write an email that tells this message board what your experience has been buying and holding NYB stock relative to profits and losses? Please save the rest of the dialogue (that does not indicate what your profit or loss is, on NYB stock) for another time.
Good question, but a market technical one. Let me think about
it when I review our (technical)
trading data for the week tonight
and get back to you early next week.
Meanwhile, in case you're looking
at NYB as an investment, let me
raise the question that bothers
me and that no one on this board
has yet addressed. Was the
M & A game that led from plain-old
Queens County Savings to the present
mini-empire of NYCB worth the candle?
I mean that they must have bought
all these banks in expectation of
greater funding (deposits) at lower,
or at least good, cost. We now know
that their share of their excellent
niche loan market is only about
15%, and that their most uneconomic
competitors have gone to the wall;
so they should be able to greatly
increase lending of the highest
But only if they were right to pay
so much for the branch banks, (cf:
the huge goodwill subtractions from
book value.) If those branches aren't
producing, and are probably unsalable
to the large retail franchises now
scooping up other big problem banks
w. Government aid, then NYB's future
is either limited or deferred.
Understand that I'm talking about
the bank as a business here, not as
a trade. I was disturbed to see that
their largest local competitor,
Citibank--the poster child for
bad management--is now offering
4% on 6 month time deposits or
300 bps over Fed Funds. NYCB
wouldn't want to that and shouldn't
have to if they weren't competing
with an enormous corporate welfare
Phage Where do you see the price of this stock in 12 months? Thanks in advance..
No, you still don't understand. We don't want the "money." We want the
The same logic would apply to our
New York City row house, bought in
foreclosure from Citibank in the
deep local real estate recession
of the 90's. At the height of
the recent boom, it had a fair
market value on the order of 6-7X
our cost--which is now either
less or will soon be.
Should we have sold at the top?
Why would we do that? The "money"
merely involves us with locally
high progressive taxation, whereas
the asset (the house) represents
an important strategic advantage
in a local market where housing
costs have done nothing but go
up on average for many decades.
I haven't adjusted our mean cost
on the NYB common lately, but it
would be somewhere right around
the quotation when adjusted for
dividends which carry no tax
liability in that particular account.
If we also adjusted for all the
trades we made before switching
to better bank/financial trading
media, that cost basis would be
down around $8; but I try to account
for trades on a realized and investments on an accrual basis
But where we really "made the money,"
that so concerns you, in this phase
of the cycle was in the developing
"inverse" etfs--SKF, DUG, and SDS,
mainly. These are essentially
the derivative equivalent of short
sales against financial and energy
indicies and against the S & P 500.
But past a certain point, the money
is really no good to us: nearly
half of it is, (or will ultimately be,) siphoned off by taxation. It's
supposed "value" is entirely a
function of the credibility of the
issuing Government, and, until
very recently, the banks in which
that cash was held were not to
be trusted. (BTW, I shifted a
CD to NYCB in 2007, also in
consideration of their asset
What you call investment is what
I mean by "trading," I think.
The profit picture there is something
else entirely, because cash return
@ very high time value is the ONLY
But, if that's what you want, I
don't see why you're playing around
with NYB instead of something with
obviously better trading potential.
For instance, you surely must realize just how much UYG will
appreciate off the bottom of this
financials led bear market. If you
don't like the leverage, you can
always "invest" less in UYG or
try XLF. (KBE is also a nice
index etf, more concentrated in
money center banks.)
Hopefully, you understand now;
or, if you don't, you ought to:
we never gave a damn about NYB
and very little of a damn about
whether our small investment position is "going up" or
"going down." What we wanted
was a fractional ownership stake
in the rent equalized apartment
market of New York City, and their
common stock was an attractive way
to that. (By contrast, we closed
every trading position when the
run, whether up or down, showed
signs of petering out.)
Actually, I haven't even kept
very close tabs on the NYB stock
price since we stopped trading it.
Instead, I look the quarterly
financial reports and the FDIC
examination summaries of same.
"How is 'our' loan book doing?"
is what I really care about.
If you want to belabor this
tedious discussion further,
I'd suggest we switch to another
stock where you have no emotional
involvement. For instance, why
did we invest in ADP during the
October debacle? What's the
point of that?

Lets not kid ourselves this game is the biggest rivalry on the Zone
LA Lakers 27-6 vs Houston Rockets 20-14
Lakers are coming off an impressive dismantling of the Best PF Ever and the Mavs.
Rockets are coming off a tough loss to NO.
I think the game will be close until the 4th and the Lakers will pull away in the final minutes, but if the Rockets won I wouldn't be surprised.
BTW: Gasol better stop hiding from Scola

Teams have been allowed to use their own cameras in Friday practice sessions for some time, but last year Red Bull was the first on record to add infrared on-boards to their armoury of analysis tools.
They placed a thermographic camera on their engine cover, pointed at the Coanda exhaust exits, with the likely focus on analysing how the hot gas flow and cold air interacted on its way to the all-important diffuser area of the car. The infrared output would effectively give them a real-life version of the virtual CFD visualisation.
Pirelli engineers have also used up to seven infrared cameras during their private track testing and have been able to use the output to perform extremely complex data collection and analysis.
But the new television-friendly version, which first appeared on Paul di Resta's Force India during the Italian Grand Prix, is a little different.
"The clever bit is actually the transformation of the readings into usable data," explained Pirelli boss Paul Hembrey. "I was asked what the colours represent; I don't know because I haven't been involved in the calibration."
And that is why this footage works so well for F1 – because although it appears so technical it could offer rival teams extremely useful information, it actually reveals very little detail at all.
So how does it all work?
Visible light is just one small part of the electromagnetic radiation spectrum, a scale that ranges from gamma rays at one end to radio waves at the other. This also includes infrared radiation, which has wavelengths longer than visible light but shorter than radio waves.
Every object emits infrared radiation, but the intensity of what is emitted is a factor of temperature as well as its ability to radiate - known as emissivity.
Anything below 500 degrees Celsius is impossible to detect by human eye – we can feel it, but we just can't see it – but infrared cameras are used to convert these lower temperatures into visual patterns on a screen.
The cameras consist of an infrared detector made of tiny elements that sit within an electrical circuit. When they absorb incoming thermal radiation, their resistance changes and that effect is converted into a visual image on the screen - initially in grayscale but then usually turned into a scale of colours.
That means nothing, however, until the output is calibrated to convert that to temperature, and that requires knowledge of the radioactive properties of the object – in this case the materials that make up Pirelli's tyres.
In theory, the different tyre compounds will have different emissivity so working out precise tyre temperatures from these generic FOM clips is virtually impossible.
Also, the sensors used in F1 are the smaller and cheaper un-cooled detectors rather than the expensive and bulky but more accurate cooled versions, so their sensitivity is not good enough, and their reaction time not quick enough, to deliver high levels of accuracy.
But although not highly technical, this footage from Di Resta's car still gave some interesting background insight into how the tyres are working and how the engineers develop the car to make the most of them.
The footage confirms that the front tyre sidewalls remain very cool at all times, because they are the least loaded part of the car. In cornering, meanwhile, it shows the tyre being loaded up on the outer edge as the colour of the infrared output changes – but what is also clear is that the teams use negative camber to cancel out some of that loading and even out the heating across the tread of the tyre.
In theory, a tyre with an even spread of colour across the tread during cornering is delivering the highest amount of grip with the least amount of temperature degradation.
After the initial experiment at Monza, Felipe Massa carried a rearward-facing camera and that gave the opportunity to see how the rear tyres are affected by temperature during a lap.
Here, the sidewall heats up a lot as the hot air from the exhausts is fed down the gap between them and the diffuser. Under acceleration, the tyres heat up as the power is put through them, and as the speed increases the heat further increases, due to the additional downforce putting more downwards load on the tyres.
The genius of the infrared camera is that it gives fans this level of interesting insight without revealing too much information for the teams. The question is, what can they come up with next? We can only hope the innovation continues...

Skill Level Intermediate
At this stage, we now have the board fully made, we have pems in there, and we've got the components ready to cut the holes through the enclosure at the exact location where these are mounted on the board. And we want to do that in context so if we ever move the components around on the board or the board moves around in the enclosure, we want those holes to automatically track wherever those components are placed on the board and inside the enclosure. So it makes it really easy to make modifications of the board, and the enclosures automatically adjust as needed, so it's a great way to do that.
First thing we want to do is we want to make sure we're editing the correct part. So this part here is the one we want to be editing. So click on edit part, and then click on this face right here. Now, if you've got a lot of components in your design and we only have a few here, so it's not that big of deal, but if you have a lot of components, sometimes it's hard to see what's going on. So first thing we want to do is we want to switch over to a wire frame view so I can see the components I have and everything behind it. If sometimes there's too many components behind that, what you can do, is also click on the Section view. And my section, I want to bring it like right behind where that first face is and make sure I flip it over.
So I'm just So I'm just really looking at this very small section of the design, and the parts that are actually cutting through. So if I switch back over here to shaded mode, you can see what I'm looking at. Just, have just a very sliver of the board. So there's nothing behind there to confuse me when I'm looking at it. Go back to wireframe. Click on that front face. And now we're ready to start doing our sketch. So click on Sketch > Start a Sketch, and let's start zooming in over here. Now we've got components like this, and it's already got some geometry here.
So, couple ways we can do this. The first one is just select the lines in a pattern around the outside of the part. So I'm just going to go ahead and just select these guys in a series. And then say convert entities. That brings that into our current sketch. You can also, by the way, if you're choosing a line, you can right-click on it and say Select Chain. That's another great way to do that. Once you've got that selected, then you can go over here to Offset Entities. Make sure you're saying make base construction, I'm going to offset that line a certain distance. In this case here I'm going to say 30,000s, and you can see right there and the base turned into a construction line so I only have one line around that part.
That makes it real easy to go. Let's do the same thing with these over here. But instead of doing Convert Entities, I can also just snap to the parts. So for a circle, I can just snap to the center of that little LED light. Same thing on all these. So, it doesn't really matter which way you do it here. If you do a Convert Entities and an offset or just draw a circle, either way works just fine and then just click on all four of those. And let's go ahead and say equal, and then dimension one of those. And we want to make it a little bit bigger so let's just make it like an OE5 hole.
And maybe a little bit bigger. It depends on what you, you are doing. If you want to have those actually protruding out through, you might give it a little more clearance if you just try to show the light through. You even might actually make it a little bit smaller. So, that's a couple options there. And then finally down here. This one doesn't have as many entities that we can easily just switch over. So, let's go back to that sketch, you know if you pop out of that sketch, you can always go back here, click on Edit Sketch. So you're back in the editing mode. And then, over here I'm just going to draw a rectangle out. So I'm going to choose a rectangle over here in the corner.
And I'm going to bring it down slightly below the board. Now, I can just use basic dimensioning techniques. Dimension from the top of the board to that cut out. I'm going to give it 30,000. Dimension from the side of the connector to this, again 30,000. And do the top. So it's a little bit more tedious to do it like this. But, you know, there's no real good lines to convert and bring over. And we want to make sure is we have a simple rectangular cut out for this one. So we do have to add the dimension four times but overall it gives you a nice little piece. And then like I said, if this connector or this component will move on the board, this rectangular cut-out will automatically track where it goes.
As soon as you're done, click on Features, click on Extruded Cut, I'll link that to the fitness, click OK, and there we have it. Let's go back to the shaded with edges. Turn off the Section view, and here's our whole design with our cut-outs and looking pretty nice.

b]Set: Speed Racer and Snake Oiler
Set Number: 8158
Theme: Licensed/Racers
Pieces: 242
Minfigures: 2
Sale Price (USD): $19.99
Year of Release: 2008[/b]
(Above information from Peeron.com)
As a kid, I always loved Speed Racer. I watched the animated TV show regularly, was amazed by the many stunts and gadgets, and enjoyed the humorous, "Ohhh:oh:! OHHHHHHH:oh3:!!!"s from Speed. Because of this, you can imagine how pleasantly suprised I was to learn not only that a movie was to be released, but that a series of LEGO sets were going to be in stores shortly after. I ended up not watching the live action flim (I thought it looked stupid and overated), but I couldn't resist the urge to pick up LEGO replicas of the Mach 5 (Speed's car), the Shooting Star (Racer X's car), and the other vehicles and characters. For a mere $19.99, I enjoyed this set quite much. Now, on to the review.
Instructions and Minfigures
The front of the instructions. Nothing unusual, it basically repeats the box art. See Peeron for a picture of the box.
First, my apologies for not having box shots. I was forced to throw the box out. Now, the instructions are normal, giving us a graphic, the name, and set number.
The back of the instructions show other sets and notes about LEGO raffles.
Here we have three sets, featuring Star Wars, Bionicle, and City. The usual contest information is also dislplayed.
A random instructions page (page 5).
The minifigures. On the left is Speed Racer, with Snake Oiler on the right.
The set includes two minifigures, and very nice ones, too. Speed's helmet has a cool printed "M" on it, and his torso is great for any town citizen. Snake Oiler's deep red helmet is good for your collection, and his sort of punk/Chinese outfit is good for a gang and such.
And with the helmets removed.
With the helmets off, Speed looks strange. His eyelashes are girly, giving his face a "she-man"ish effect. Snake Oiler, with his gold sunglasses and stache would make some think, "A gang face," while it makes me think "Porco Rosso" .
The Mach 5
The sleek Mach 5. Note the numerous "M" decals and the "5"s on the side.
The Mach 5 is a good looking vehicle, and at about 19 studs long and about 10 studs wide, it's well sized. The decals are nice, and the overall design is very cool.
The front, where you can see the large "M", the headlights, and the curved windshield.
The "M" looks nice from a distance, but up close it's kind of ugly. THe main part of the "M" is split between THREE bricks, with the "sides" on a single brick. The "sides" and the main portion don't quite line up, and the total amount of stickers for just the "M" is three. However, the front is very nice, with certain curves raised at the correct points, and the window shield is a must.
The back of the car, with one sticker.
The one sticker on the back is the "exhaust" or whatever, and there is a strange looking space right above it. The missing piece may be a mistake on my part, but the instructions say not to put a piece there. However, it can easily be modded in. The back also has multiple curves, giving it a "streamlined" effect.
A view from the side. Notice how the upper curve goes above the windshield.
From the side, we see the "5" on the side, which is replicated on the other side. The arch over the wheels are very nice, not juniorized, but just the right size. Also, remember that this car has some nice hubcaps.
The bottom of the car. You can see a bit of the wheel design and the base of the structure.
The wheel design.
The wheels are supported by a long Technic axle that goes through two bricks and sticking into the wheels. Two gray Technic pieces hold the wheels in place while still enabling it to turn.
The seating arrangements- there's room for two!
You must have noticed before, but there are no doors on the Mach 5 or on Snake Oiler's ride. Ah well, Speed doesn't use the doors in the TV show anyway.
With two occupants. There is room for both without if seeming squished.
With two in the car, there's about a 1 stud between Snake and Speed's hands. The other arm rests on the side, and, as with every LEGO vehicle I can remember, the minfigs can't reach the wheel. The curve above Speed acts as a "headrest" of sorts, and appeared in both the show and the movie (I think). However, it's a little too far to the left for it to really work.
A shot of Speed Racer in his Mach 5.
As you can see, Speed looks perfectly at home in this vehicle, and with a slick design and awesome decals, this a must for any racing scene or sports car. A dissapointment for me was that it lacks some of the gadgets (from the TV show- Speed presses a button on the wheel and something happens). The Mach 5 won't be jumping gaps or climbing walls unless you mod it.
Snake Oiler's Car
Snake Oiler's somewhat ugly- yet not out of place- ride.
With lots of "scale" decals, an orange and black color scheme, and a hint of lime green, Snake Oiler's car looks more like something you'd drive around on Halloween, not on the track. The stickers are annoying, with some tiny "cheese slope" stickers that you can't get off your finger. It's got a bit of a scrunched look, but it's got some good atributes as well.
The frontal view. You can see those lime green studs, and now you ought to know what I was talking about.
On the front, we have the "snake's head" (or, to go with Snake Oiler's suit, a Chinese reference: The leaders of Chinese triads are called "Dragonheads" or "Snakeheads". The theme may be derived from that, but I haven't seen the movie, and don't know for sure.), with "fangs" on the front to emphesize the snakeyness. There's a comic in the LEGO Club magazine where Snake uses his "fangs" to steal bricks from other cars, giving him a turbo boost. I somehow doubt he steals LEGO bricks in the movie .
The back, with the awesome nitro engine-thingy ready to go!
Below the raised platform, the "engine" on the back gives you a "fast and furious" vibe. No reptile stickers here, but there are a LOT more to come.
The side of the car. #12 Hydr-A-Cell is pictured where the door should be. Get it?
As is noticable, this vehicle has a boxy design and a random color shceme. THe black is thrown in at certain spots, and though it fits with the orange, it has a "just put there" feeling. Also, this set has NO HUBCAPS!
The bottom of the car, which has the same wheel design as the Mach 5. But what's with the blue and orange?!
The seating arrangments are basically the same as the Mach 5's, but the "arm-rest" is a stud higher.
Notice the black and orange reptile stickers and the "radiator" sticker that goes on the large black curved piece. As in the Mach 5, there is a gap in this car, yet not in the back. It's easy to see, right behind the seats. It seems sloppy, but as with Speed's car, it can easily be modded to your liking.
This shot shows what the car looks like with two in it. It's the same spacing as in the Mach 5, so I took a picture of the side instead of a front-on view.
In both the Mach 5 and Snake Oiler's car, the steering wheel is unreachable and the minfigures are looking above the windowshield, but, when playing, it's hard to notice.
A pic of Snake alone in his car.
Snake's car is sort of ugly yet cool at the same time. It's a strange combo, because it's difficult to imagine something being both (a LEGO, I mean), but it is. The stickers don't go together correctly (a spot on the reptile skin doesn't merge with the other half of that spot), yet they fit the car and I can imagine Speed thinking that it's going to be a hard race. Snake himself is cool, though his dark red helmet and pants clash with the orange and black combo, as does the random lime green studs. In the above photo, the raised thing that's on most race cars is clearly visible. That is a nice looking feature, and though the black and orange are too "blunt", kids wont notice it when they're zooming it along the kitchen table. Snake Oiler's car isn't as nice as the Mach 5, but it's an OK car.
The Rating
Based on the box art/instruction cover graphic. Go here to see a pic of the box, from Peeron.com.
Here he comes, here comes Speed Racer, he's a demon on wheels....!
Playability: 4.5/5- the set is fun to play with, but it lacks some of the Mach 5's key gadgets (ie. the jump feature)
Minfigures: 3/5- Speed is kind of girly, but they're decent figs, good for various MOCs
Design: 4/5- if it were just Snake Oiler's vehicle, the score wouldn't be so high, but the Mach 5 is really well designed
Overall: 4/5- A great set, if for parts, a Racers moc, a sports car, or just for your collection
The set's value is decreased by the quality of Snake Oiler's car, which is only decent, but the Mach 5 brought this set up for me. At $19.99 for a 242 piece set with some nice cars, two awesome windshields, new wheel curves (the thing that covers the wheel- mudgards, I think), and two pretty good minfigures, this set is cheap, and definately worth your while. I'd reccomend it to fans of the TV show/movie, or people who aren't fans as well. This is one of those sets with many uses, and If you have an opportunity to purchase it, don't hesitate to do so.

The set looks very nice. I did find your review to be a little bunched up, but it was understandable, and got it's point across. Back to the set, I might buy this set, I would have prefered it with the monkey too, monkeys rock!
So am I still waiting, for this world to stop hating. Can't find a good reason, can't find hope to believe in.

Wonderful quilt show got no promotion
Published: Friday, November 30, 2001 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, November 29, 2001 at 11:00 p.m.
While talking to a friend on Saturday, she asked me if I had seen the quilt exhibit at the Waterlife Museum. I said I had not, although I knew it was coming to Houma; I had seen no advertising and had not realized it was here.
I knew about it last year because a very good friend, Claire Fenton, has a quilt in this national exhibit that is touring the country. "Oh, no" was the reply from my friend, "they are all Claire's quilts."
I went to the museum to see the exhibit and understood why my friend thought all 40-plus quilts were Claire's - there were no titles or artist names next to the quilts nor a copy available of the catalog that contains the artists' statements about each quilt.
The only place there has been any information (that I am aware of) was in the Community Calendar in The Courier (which is a great place to check dates and times, but does not give additional information one might want).
To have a show of this caliber, which is typically seen only in a large metropolitan area, in our town and have no publicity released about it makes no sense to me. This show's quilts are not your typical quilts -- they are fiber art: rich in color, texture, shape and design embellished and enhanced with stitching, thread, beads, words and photo-transfers. They are truly a feast for the eye and the spirit.
According to the Sunday, Nov. 18, edition of the Courier, a grant was given of "$4,598 to Terrebonne Parish government to support a national quilt exhibit and music celebration for senior citizens and for a summer arts camp for children." If the music celebration and summer arts camp are as badly publicized as the quilt exhibit has been, it seems this money is not being spent very wisely.
Since, I would guess, one of the objectives of the Arts & Humanities Council is to promote and support the artistic community, these actions (or lack thereof) seem to be contrary to this objective.

With the MLB Hot Stove burning red-hot, free agent rumors are now flying fast and furiously, as the annual GM meetings are set to take place this week.
GMs from all 30 Major League clubs will convene in Milwaukee to wheel and deal, with clubs trying to improve themselves ahead of the Thanksgiving and Christmas holiday seasons.
The usual big spenders in New York, Boston, Philadelphia and Los Angeles are joined by a few newcomers, including the newly-renamed Miami Marlins, who have cash to spend ahead of the opening of their new stadium.
Apparently interested in every free agent under the sun, the Marlins have already begun reaching out to numerous players they hope could stoke interest in their ballclub to coincide with the unveiling of their new home in the Little Havana district of Miami.
As with all rumors, things change daily, even hourly, so let's take a look at some of the higher-profile rumors currently circulating around baseball just before the dawning of the general manager meetings.

Probably a conflict with another plugin or potentially your theme. If you have White Label CMS installed, the javascript it adds to your login page breaks all other plugins which run javascript on the login form.
If not, try disabling other plugins and changing to the default 2010 theme until you find the culprit.
That happened for me. Some themes are not supporting it on 'Sign-in/Sign-up' pages . But the widget and the shortCodes works well any where in your site . Try the short code or widget
Thanks !
Have any suggestion for a plugin to replace "WhiteLabel CMS" or should I just start doing all my customization in the functions.php?
I REALLY like Social Connect, but my clients really like WhiteLabel CMS... For my own site, I just shutdown WhiteLabel, which I really only installed, as with most plugins, for testing purposes before I started putting it up on client sites.
So if you or anyone else have a recommendation on what to use as a replacement for WhiteLabel CMS, that'd be fantastic.
Honestly I'd ask the WhiteLabel CMS guys really nicely to fix the problem. Or ask your client to fund the fixing of the problem.
I've contacted them about it to no avail, but I'm met them before and they're great guys, just hard to maintain fixes like that for free software when paid gigs take priority!
For some reason when I try to post a new topic I get:

I have installed Social Connect 0.9 plugin.

The second thing I am not happy with now is the login widget.
I have installed the login widget but it is only showing icons.
I would like the login and password box on the side on top of your icons.
Then when I am logged in, I would like it to show logout.
I realize it is probably not too hard to do but I struggle to find any information about this.
I read the question : 'Do I need to add template tags to my theme?' in your faq but I don't understand how or where to add this on my primary side bar.
Could someone help please.

Police: West Rutland car fire was intentionalJuly 02,2013Police: Westside fire was arson
WEST RUTLAND A fire that destroyed a vehicle on Pleasant Street early Monday morning was intentionally set, according to Vermont State Police.
Firefighters were called at 4:15 a.m. to 435 Pleasant St. Monday for a report of a car that was enveloped in flames. The fire was eventually doused but not before the vehicle was completely destroyed, police said.
Fire investigators with the state police, including an accelerant-sniffing dog, were called to investigate the suspicious blaze which was later deemed to be arson.
Anyone with information about the fire is asked to call the Arson Tip Line at 1-800-32-ARSON. There is a $5,000 reward for information resulting in an arrest.

Review: 'Michael' kicks off Fantastic Fest with disturbing character study
There are certain films that challenge viewers simply by existing. They are these dares, issued by the filmmaker, that linger out there, and it's up to each viewer to decide if they want to take that dare and see whatever it is, whatever taboo has been broken. It's an entire school of cinema that many people avoid as viewers, and I don't blame them. So much of our culture is designed to make us feel good or to placate us or to reinforce the things we already believe that it's incongruous when we encounter something that seems genuinely determined to hurt us.
"Michael" is the debut film from writer/director Markus Schleinzer, and it's a nasty bit of business, a character portrait played dry, a dark joke told with a straight face, starring Michael Fuith as an insurance worker at an anonymous company who spends his days playing a sort of hide-in-plain-sight game of "look how normal I am" with his co-workers before going to his small and forgettable house where he keeps a young boy named Wolfgang (David Rauchenberger) locked in his disturbingly cozy basement. There is nothing coy or ambiguous about Michael's intent, either. Wolfgang is his prisoner, his toy, his sex object, his punching bag, his thing. He has completely cut this boy off from the world and broken him, and for much of the running time, the film simply observes the details of their daily existence. What happens if the boy wants to go outside and do something? What happens if he gets sick? Can Michael take him to the doctor without being exposed? What if something happens to Michael? Would anyone ever know?
Schleinzer has a very strong sense of place and a keen eye for emotional detail. The film shows you everything but the actual abuse. It would be easy to shock if they took you into the room and tried to recreate the horror that Wolfgang lives through each time Michael rapes him, but by intentionally playing around that detail, by showing you the mundane way that their lives have started to blend into something shared and, although sick and horrifying, somewhat like normal, Schleinzer's film has a more genuinely unsettling power.
Fuith looks like young Werner Herzog playing Buster Bluth from "Arrested Development," and he makes for an ideal bland-faced monster. He is fairly even-tempered most of the time, but on a few occasions, that mask slips and Fuith is able to play a glimpse of that lizard inside him, that amoral beast that knows how to pretend to be like everyone else. It's an ugly piece of acting, without ego, and Fuith is very good in the film. I really don't know how I would even approach directing a performance like Rauchenberger's in the film, but it's impressive work.
There's a clinical quality to the cinematography by Gerald Kerkletz, and there's a real chill to the thing that is very skilled, very intentional. I think the film is ultimately so direct and so uncomplicated that it's not very lasting. I think it builds to a predictable punch, although well-executed, and for all the obvious ability that Schleinzer has as a filmmaker, "Michael" is merely an introduction to his ability, not the greatest expression of it.
Strand Releasing picked up the film for US distribution, but no release date has been set.

Like many of the Cold War aeronautics projects developed at Area 51 and related test sites, it was way ahead of its time. According to Jacobs, however, when ARPA and the USAF took over the project, they had a far more Strangelovian vision in mind:
"From high above Earth, a USS Orion could be used to launch attacks against enemy targets using nuclear missiles. Thanks to Orion's nuclear-propulsion technology, the spaceship could make extremely fast defensive maneuvers, avoiding any Russian nuclear missiles that might come its way…For a period of time during the early 1960's the Air Force believed Orion was going to be invincible. 'Whoever builds Orion will control the Earth!" declared General Thomas S. Power of the Strategic Air Command." [Jacobson, p. 305]
In this fascinating TED lecture George Dyson, son of Freeman Dyson, shares his special knowledge of the project. Not much information about Project Orion's proposed weaponization has reached the web, but pay special attention to what he says at around 3:30-3:50…

Solutions for Chapter ECS2
Wires connected to the battery will be only conductors which allow the flow of current through them and are mostly made up of copper or aluminum.
The following figure shows the connection of a wire to a battery.
Yes, the wire will have same temperature along its entire length.
From the above observation, we can infer that as the electrons flow through the wire, the atoms in the wire oppose the flow of electrons that is the atoms resist the flow of current which results in heating up the wire. The resistance depends on the length of the wire, material of the wire and diameter of the wire. Since, the wire we connected to the battery is made up of the same material and has the same diameter throughout its length, the obstruction to the flow of electrons will take place at every point along the wire equally and thus the entire wire gets warmer equally.
