At the Franciscan Life Process Center, Sister Colleen Ann Nagle knows the right touch will yield the kind of fresh-from-the-oven bread, slathered with cream butter, that satisfies you like no other.
Where: Franciscan Life Process Center, 11650 Downes St., near Lowell
Hours: 11:30 a.m.-1 p.m., with a short prayer service at 12:45 p.m.
Phone: 897-7842
Cost: Donations accepted
"The human touch enhances everything," said Nagle who has been a Franciscan Sister of the Eucharist for 36 years. "Breadmaking is always by feel. It's what you feel in you."
Nagle learned to make yeast breads with nourishing excellence when the sisters operated Franciscan Heritage Foods bakery and coffee shop in Ada for 14 years.
When yeast bread recipes call for "kneading the dough until it's soft, smooth and elastic," Nagle suggests you judge by the feel of the dough.
"A good dough feels so wonderful. Feel this," said Nagle kneading an oatmeal bread dough sweetened with blackstrap molasses. "I don't really measure anything, because I was taught to cook with a walnut-size of this and a handful of that."
For the fifth consecutive year, Nagle will shepherd the Wednesday Lenten lunches featuring fresh-baked yeast breads and gourmet soups prepared weekly by guest chefs, including Kathleen Schiefler and Applause Catering's Chris Simpson.
"We start making the bread at 9 a.m. so it's still warm when people come for the 11:30 a.m. Lenten lunch. We always make a little extra, because when they smell bread around here, they get a little demanding," said Nagle, who teaches a breadmaking class every August.
The class is open to the public.
Oatmeal bread
Download this recipe for a 3-by-5 inch card (PDF)
1 tablespoon instant yeast
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cups warm water, about 110 degrees
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 cup blackstrap molasses
1 1/2 cups hot water
1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
About 5 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting the work surface
PREPARATION: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together yeast, granulated sugar, salt and warm water. Mix in the olive oil, blackstrap molasses, hot water and oats. Mix in the flour 1 cup at a time until thoroughly blended. Continue to add flour until the dough no longer is sticky. Though this is a very soft, sticky dough, your hand should pull away cleanly when the dough is touched. So take care not to add too much flour unless the dough feels wet.
Turn out the dough on a floured work surface and flour your hands. Form a smooth, elastic ball by kneading for several minutes and possibly more than 10 minutes. Again resist the temptation to add flour. Flip the dough over to knead the side that was placed on the floured surface.
When the dough feels soft, smooth and elastic, let the dough rise on the work surface. Give it a good 20 minutes. (If you have the time, place the dough in a large mixing bowl coated lightly with olive oil. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place in a warm, place free of drafts. Let rise until doubled in size.)
Adjust the oven racks to the lower-middle position. Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Place large sheets of parchment paper in two (9-inch) cake rounds. Don't worry about the overhang.
Gently press dough down and knead it for about 20 seconds. Divide into 2 equal sections. Knead each section into a round ball. Sprinkle a generous amount of oats on the work surface and roll each round ball, flattening it slightly. Place in prepared cake pan and again flatten it. Repeat with remaining dough.
Bake for 40 minutes, switching the pans from the lower and middle-upper oven racks. Remove the bread from the pan, transfer to a wire rack and cool. Slice into wedges.
Makes 2 loaves -- each loaf will yield 16 wedge slices.
Nutrition information per 1 wedge slice: 106 calories, 1 gram fat, 3 grams protein, 22 grams carbohydrate, 1 gram fiber, 0 cholesterol, 70 milligrams sodium.

JVC Professional is launching four new D-ILA projectors this month, three of which feature an upgraded version of its e-shift technology, now dubbed e-shift2, which will help fill the 4k content gap by up-converting and scaling HD content to a 4k signal. And there's some other nifty tech features on them too. Andy Stout takes a look
JVC has always made good projectors. And they've always used really good technology that's been kind-of hard to understand, because it takes a lot of explaining. But if all you want is good pictures, the tech doesn't really matter, because if it looks good, it is good

Published on November 07, 2005
Another week and another murder of a foreigner with an unsavoury reputation in Pattaya. Last Wednesday was a busy day for the Pattaya police with not one but two gangland-style murders in the seaside resort. The Thai editor of the Pattaya Post was found in his BMW, blindfolded, hands bound and with a bullet hole in the back of his head.
Earlier, in the very same housing estate, a Dutch national was killed by a gunman who had come knocking on the front door of his office. This second ôhitö was newsworthy for two reasons: the shooter was a Caucasian and the target was a prominent Dutch underworld figure, John Mieremet.Mieremet, of course, is not the first foreign gangster to be killed in Pattaya. Dozens have been murdered in the last few years. The crime organisations for which they work are of every persuasion and come from every corner of the world. There are Russian and Swedish mobsters, Pakistani conmen, west African drug and diamond dealers, English soccer hooligans, Australian boiler-room operators, Japanese extortionists and Canadian bikers running meth operations who all call Pattaya home. There is even reportedly a gay Mafia at work in the town. What is interesting about Mieremetĺs murder is that it was apparently in reprisal, Dutch police believe, for the killing of Evers Hingst, the most prominent underworld lawyer in the Netherlands, only two days previously. That Mieremet could be found and murdered by a foreign triggerman in less than 48 hours suggests the links between organised crime and Pattaya are getting more sophisticated and entrenched. This should be a cause for concern. Criminal activity and dirty money when not suppressed, only ever encourage more of the same. And Pattaya surely has enough vice already. The British newspaper The Guardian recently summed up Pattayaĺs attraction to British criminals this way: ôIn the 1980s, Spainĺs Costa del Sol was the destination of choice for many British criminals. Today they head to Thailand, where the beaches are stunning, the women cheap and the police are bribable.ö That Thailand has acquired an international reputation as a country where illegal businesses can flourish because of poor law enforcement is obviously not a good thing. Yet little seems to be done. In large part it is because of the long-standing weaknesses and lack of sincerity in anti-corruption campaigns, but it also because of the prevailing view that any money that flows into Pattaya is good money, no matter its origins. This is incredibly short-term and self-destructive thinking. Apart from the damage to Thailandĺs image, the growth of such dark industries as fake passports, fake medicines, human-trafficking rings, gun-running and stand-over operations and so on hurts the Kingdom in very real ways. As with the narcotics industry, the producing country always pays a terrible price due to the local consumption spawned and encouraged by the availability of the illegal good in question. Dirty money also quickly undermines (or in Pattayaĺs case further undermines) local law-enforcement and civic institutions. Further, it deters honest business activity, and generally poisons the atmosphere. To be sure the death of Mieremet is no great loss. He was reportedly part of a Mafia-organisation founded by the late Dutch ôgodfatherö Klaas Bruinsma and was involved in gambling, drug trafficking, prostitution and extortion rackets. Mieremet and his partner Sam Klepper were considered to be one of the Netherlandsĺ most notorious criminal outfits. The pair was known as ôSpic Ĺnĺ Spanö, after an American brand of cleaning powder, for their skill in eliminating rivals. Bruinsma was shot dead over 10 years ago, Klepper in 2001 and now Mieremet. The three were living proof, or perhaps more accurately, incontestably dead proof, that those who live by the sword die by it. It is not, of course, possible to screen or run a background check on every tourist seeking to come to Thailand for a holiday or extended stay. But it is possible to do more than turn a blind eye to some of the most egregious criminal excesses and elements that are apparent to even the most casual visitor to Pattaya. Like Mieremet, many of the worst gangsters in Pattaya will end up dead or in jail, double-crossed or otherwise ruined. Itĺs the order of things in the criminal world. That they should be allowed so easily to take some of Thailand with them is a truly unsatisfactory state of affairs.

|Forgive the perspective.
Let's just chalk it up to me being in shock.
And yes, that is Handsome's favorite belt. He got it for my birthday.
|See these two ladies?
Yes, one of them *coughMEcough* has a squinting problem.
But they're relatively normal-looking, no?
|Well, those ladies are married to these gentlemen.
Yes, that is the rain falling down.
No, that is not a shadow on H's upper lip.
Yes, it frightens me sometimes. The mustache, not the rain.
|Notice how much the above picture hid.
Don't look too long, you may never be able to recover.
"There are some things you just can't un-see."
|I console myself with the fact that at least H's costume wasn't permanent.
This dude used straight-up spray paint.
Front & back.
|The boys fit in well with the crowd at the race.
We all participated in the wave.
7 times.
Because it was necessary, I guess.
|These tow trucks are the only thing I saw race around the track.
Notice it has stopped raining.
This is after approx. 2 1/2 hours, drying the track.
And then...
The rain started back up
|Someone apparently stole his birthday AND cancelled the race due to rain.

I grew up in a house where spanking was in fact part of the discipline. It wasn't like what the media has turned it into. We were born in Europe to European parents, where spanking was part of the culture. In fact if parents didn't "spank" their children, than they were seen as spoiling them and their kids would obviously turn out rotten.
The spanking that had occurred in my house involved smacks to the butt. They were never pre-planned, or formal in anyway, and were probably used more often as a threat than in actual occurrences. I should also add that I am the second born in my family, and the spanking that I had received as a child was probably a lot less than what my older brother had, being first born.
My parents had raised my brothers and I with a lot of rules, probably way more rules than what will exist in my own home, but not all of those rules, if disobeyed, would have resulted in a "spanking". Both my parents were the disciplinarians, and we typically did not like disobeying either of them, but of course the scarier of the two was my father. He had a roaring, impulsive temper and my older brother and I were mainly scared to be disciplined by him, because if he was to discipline us, it meant that we were in "big trouble". "Big trouble" did not mean that my father would take out a belt and beat us, "big trouble" didn't leave marks or scars, or bruises, but did leave us terrified at the thought. Come to think of it, I remember being more afraid of the actual confrontation, rather than the spanking.
Whenever we did fall out of line, my parents had always taken the time to talk to us and explain to us why we were being disciplined. We were NEVER disciplined by both of my parents at the same time. If one was going to be the disciplinarian, than the other would remain at our side, protecting us from the "spanks", comforting us if we cried, and encouraging us to apologize for the bad behaviour. My parents were and still are a great team, I think.
My parents had my younger brother years later when we were already settled in Canada, I was eleven and a half, and my older brother was seventeen. As our life had changed, I think the way my parents had handled discipline had to change as well. I think there were very few times, if any, that my younger brother had gotten spanked. However the fear of "big trouble" had been in him just as it was in us, and he would try to avoid it at all costs. If my father were to just raise his voice, my little brother was already on the floor crying, so therefore "spanking" was not really necessary for him. Over the years my father's hard anger had softened a lot and "spanking" by either of my parents didn't really happen that much, but one rule that never changed in our home, and would probably result to a spanking if disobeyed, was that of disrespect. Disrespecting our parents, siblings, elders - these were completely unacceptable. My brothers and I, had always been mannered and taught to be courteous to others, and I think part of it may be because we were afraid of "big trouble". As well, our parents had many, MANY conversations with us about respect, before during and after disciplining us, which probably contributed to how we had turned out. I grew up part of a generation that did fear their parents, but also had learned to respect them, and although maybe spanking wasn't the best choice of discipline, nonetheless we had learned that our actions and behaviours had consequences.
After spanking hit the media front and centre, it seemed that it had become the worst form of discipline ever imagined. The image behind spanking was one that was gruesome, where children were coming to school (if at all) with scratches, bruises, being beaten for behaviour that could not possibly have been so bad to result in such a cruel punishment. Spanking then wasn't looked at as a disciplinary action that had occurred occasionally when a child fell out of line, but rather as an abusive situation that occurred daily where a child was not safe in their own home. I remember when spanking had hit the news openly, I was in grade five, and I remember having to attend assemblies at school, having our teachers talking about this at carpet time, where suddenly we had to be aware of the abuse that could be upon us, in our own home. I feel like the way this was thrown out onto my generation, was a little confusing, as despite the fact that it was meant to protect children from harm, it had also given children a whole lot of power, where suddenly, children could make their own parents afraid of them. Parents were now being threatened by their children, that if they were to try to discipline them in any way, they have the right to "call the cops" on them.
What is the result of all of this? An abundance of parents that have become afraid to discipline their children. I don't think this was the intention of bringing light to spanking. I think the point was to create a safe environment for children, and for them to be aware of what a safe environment looked like. It was not to take away discipline. Parents need to discipline their children and not be afraid of them, and there are plenty of ways to discipline them without having to spank them. However spanking is still a tool that many parents use, which I think is based on their own culture, belief, and upbringing. But many parents are not comfortable talking about it, as it has become a taboo topic in our society.
I think discipline is something that needs to be planned ahead of time and defined in every home. I think parents should have rules and limits for their children and these should be guarded with consequences, that are realistic and seen through if broken.
If you do decide to use spanking as a disciplinary tool, I recommend visiting these 4 questions that you should ask yourself before implementing them.
1) What would spanking involve?
2) Is this an actual disciplinary tool or a result of your own impulsive anger, discomfort, irritation?
3) Is there no other alternative disciplinary tool that you could use instead?
4) Would it really be affective in disciplining your child to better behaviour?
This blog is meant to be a conversation piece, what are your thoughts on this topic?

It's not a desperate attempt to tie in the title of his latest film, nor undeservedly effusive praise, to call fight choreographer and filmmaker Yuen Woo-Ping a true legend. He was an actor in 40 movies between 1965 and 1993, choreographed at least 39 others, and directed 29, including 'True Legend,' a retelling of the saga of mythic Chinese hero Su Qi-Er -- whom he basically introduced to audiences via his classic 1978 film 'Drunken Master.' It is nevertheless appropriate that Yuen would be honored at this year's Fantastic Fest, where in addition to receiving a Lifetime Achievement Award, he screened 'True Legend' for attendees as part of a double feature that also included his first film, 'Snake in the Eagle's Shadow.'
Cinematical sat down with Yuen at the festival for a chat both about 'True Legend' and about his rich and accomplished history as a fight choreographer and filmmaker. Communicating via translator, Yuen discussed his return to the Drunken Fist fighting style he pioneered cinematically more than three decades ago, examined the connection between compelling action sequences and solid storytelling, and reflected on the considerable opportunities he's enjoyed during his more than 45-year career.
This movie features Drunken Fist, which you were instrumental in bringing to the screen when you directed 'Drunken Master.' Given how many movies you've made featuring so many different styles, how tough is it to not cannibalize yourself when you take on something new?
For past films where I've used Drunken Fist in a fight sequence, they were used comically. When you saw Drunken Fist in 'Drunken Master' starring Jackie Chan, that was a comic film. This one is not a comic film. Also, one of the things that I put into the choreography in 'True Legend' is street dancing, to make it different from films in the past.
When you are conceiving action sequences, how much are you thinking about making them an integral part of the story, as opposed to simply creating something that looks great or is purely exciting?
In past films, the action was actually for [audiences] to see how they managed to perform martial arts, and to see the martial arts performed. But in this specific movie, 'True Legend,' the action actually gets into the storyline -- it actually tells the story, because I actually designed the five action sequences according to each character's personality, and according to different levels where the story goes. It had to match with the storyline.
How much of the fighting styles in your films do you create yourself, and how much is simply borrowed from existing ones? For example, this film features Five Venom Fist; is that an existing form of martial arts?
Definitely there has to be new elements every time I create a sequence, such as the Five Venom Fist I use in this movie. This is actually a new fight sequence that I invented for this movie, and it had to have the traditional martial arts, the basics, that are common in every fight sequence, but every time, I have to put new elements into it, like the Five Venom fighting style. But like in the past for [something like] Drunken Fist, for all of the people involved like the martial artists and stunt people, they only knew it by name; there were no actions or movements that anybody knew. So I spent a month making up the Drunken Fist and putting it into action so that you could see it in the movie.
In older martial arts movies, the fights were more about choreography, and the actual punches were sort of payoff. Do you have to pack movies now with more violence than you used to?
With the way movie fight sequences are right now, I don't have to be more violent or aggressive to get more attention from the audience. Different scripts have different demands, and you have to match the choreography with the storyline. Like in 'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon,' it has to be sort of a romantic style, and so you can't do violent [choreography] or aggressive fight sequences in it, because that wouldn't convey the story line well. But in the 'Matrix' movies, it has to use more visual effects, so it has to have a more artistic style.
How has technology changed the way you choreograph and shoot fights? Do actors have to be less capable than they used to be?
Actors are still required to know martial arts -- to have the knowledge of martial arts -- because they can't just do the sequences without any knowledge of it. That would be too fake. Computer-generated effects are only a support system for the choreography; it's not a substitute for choreography. It just gives more energy to the action -- it can't replace the action itself. So if any actor doesn't have knowledge of martial arts, I will give them training sessions, because they have to know martial arts in order to start filming the fight sequences.
The main character in 'True Legend' wants to give up fighting in order to perfect his spiritual connection to wu shu. What do you think of the idea of martial arts being a spiritual rather than physical exercise?
In the story, the reason that he gives up being a soldier is that he has a great interest in martial arts. He really enjoys teaching martial arts and helping others build strong bodies through practicing martial arts. But after a series of family tragedies, he has to use martial arts as a tool to help regain his dignity at the end of the movie.
Is there a difference to you between the work you do in English-language films and ones in your native Chinese, in terms of either content or the form of your collaborations?
Working with actors for Chinese movies, a lot of them, like Jet Li or Jackie Chan, already have the knowledge of martial arts and are in really good shape to perform martial arts. So it's easier to work with them and tell them how I want the action to be -- it's easier to convey my ideas to them. Working on Western movies, I have to do long training sessions with the actors because they don't have the same knowledge of martial arts. I actually have to go step by step to show them how to perform each movement and how to do each fight sequence.
Do you have a favorite weapon or instrument to choreograph fights with or around?
I prefer to choreograph using sticks -- long sticks. That's my personal preference.
As a filmmaker or choreographer, is there any kind of challenge or sequence that you haven't been able to tackle in your career?
There are still challenges all of the time. Like if I want to collaborate with actors but our schedules don't match, or if some actors are just scared of martial arts movies. Because there are a lot of good actors out there I want to work with, but sometimes the schedule doesn't fit, or they're afraid of martial arts movies, so I don't get a chance to work with them. In terms of shooting fight sequences, I don't see any impossible fights to do in movies, because I always choreographed fight sequences after receiving the script. I design everything according to the script, so there's nothing that I wanted to do that I haven't done on screen yet.

This monkey swinging bar is a curious mix of posh jungle décor and celebrated elaborate drink choices.
The Drunken Monkey is definitely a unique addition to the S.I. bar scene. And one wouldn't really think this was Staten Island. Maybe something you would maybe see in Atlantic City or Las Vegas.
But the lounge is here, 1205 Forest Ave. Staten Island, New York. Just next door to a Walgreens and a few steps from a bagel store.
The Drunken Monkey, established in 2007, just celebrated its anniversary with a SEVEN YEAR ITCH PARTY. "It is a big gamble," admits Sallyann Lombardi, owner, whose family has several restaurants.

If you want to add me in Brawl, PM me that you're going to (and include your brawl name and friend code). Also, PM me if you delete me, so I can delete your name, too. I need space, ya know.
For anyone who added me in Brawl and deleted me because it still said "Awaiting Registration", please re-add me. It just means we both haven't been online at the same time.

Maybe one more Sonic character, Eggman [I hate him but he's the oldest Boss], or Shadow, Nintendo and Sega have a long history, Sonic is an awesome addition but the more the merrier, Knuckles would have been cool, at least adding Kunckles would make a lot more sense than adding Sora or something, I mean look at it, the only 3rd parties they added are 3rd parties they have history with, Sora has been around for like 2 years, not sufficient enough for me, also the company that makes KH makes a lot more money off Sony than Nintendo.

Recently, I experienced a beautiful moment with my daughter. I felt compelled to share.
Does anybody know...
Today I got to stand at the white line with all the other preschool parents! Today, Sophie got to walk with her classmates, with anticipation and pride, towards her mom to share her special classroom project. I took her picture. She was beaming! While I talked to Sophie about the play- doe bug and grass she helped plant and water, many emotions pulsed through me...
Does anybody know how much this independence means to Sophie, to me? Do people understand how many purposeful and necessary steps it takes. Does anybody know how many times my jaw trembled and tears ran down my face? Are people cognizant of how many times Sophie or any child quietly, or not so quietly, waits for us to "get it." Me included!
I get the chance to witness many beautiful things all the time and sometimes it is overwhelming. It is hard work to raise the world up to meet Sophie's needs. So many times it is just not good enough for her! That is where "her village" comes in. Her mom, her dad, her brother, her grandparents, classmates, teachers, therapists, doctors, neighbors and friends.
Sophie is incredibly perceptive and tries so hard in a world that has a lot of learning to do. She knows it is not always easy for her to do the things that other children can do in much less time and sometimes just different ways. No pity necessary! She doesn't need it.
Don't think that for one moment if you look into the eyes of a person with special needs that they are not aware that you may look at them with some level of shortsightedness. Or that we don't all suffer from some "lack of ability." We just may not need a machine to help us talk or wheelchair to help us get to our destination.
Does anybody care...
Does anybody care that I was brave? Does anyone care that I chose to be patient for the 100th time today? Does anybody know how thankful I am?
Sophie does.

University of Hawaii Maui College faculty member Keola Donaghy collaborated with Microsoft to make its new Windows 8 operating system Hawaiian-language friendly.
The operating system launched in late October includes a Hawaiian keyboard layout, fit with the language's two diacritical markings - kahako, or macrons, and 'okina, or glottal stops. The operating system also provides support for other functions, such as displaying weeks and months in Hawaiian.
"We're getting very close to the day that Hawaiian speakers will be able to take for granted the fact that they can simply type in Hawaiian when they buy a new computer, tablet or smartphone without installing special software," said Donaghy, who works in the music department at the college.
Article Photos
University of Hawaii Maui College music instructor Keola Donaghy shows the recently released Windows 8 operating system with an internal Hawaiian-language keyboard on his computer. The keyboard includes the 'okina and kahako, diacritical marks used in the Hawaiian language.
Microsoft first approached Donaghy at a conference hosted by the Indigenous Language Institute three years ago.
"I gave a presentation on the lexicon of the Hawaiian language, and how we developed new words," said Donaghy. "Luckily, two women from Microsoft were there and interested in my work."
Since then, Donaghy has spent the past couple of years telecommuting with program engineers at Microsoft's Local Languages Program.
Donaghy emailed the engineers the layout of the Hawaiian keyboard, which designated the keys for the kahako and 'okina. He also translated Hawaiian texts engineers sent his way.
In a news release, Anthony Salcito, vice president of Worldwide Education for Microsoft, expressed his support for native languages and their preservation.
"Providing technology support in a native language is critical to helping people access the tools they need to create better economic opportunities," said Salcito. "Language preservation and support also helps preserve cultural identities for the next generation of learners."
Keiki Kawai'ae'a, who will be the director of the Ka Haka 'Ula O Ke'elikolani College of Hawaiian Language at the University of Hawaii at Hilo in January, has worked with Donaghy for almost two decades and said technology is a key component in gaining visibility for the Hawaiian language.
"When I arrived in Hilo, I brought Keola in and his job was to work on a new technology initiative to help support the Hawaiian language," said Kawai'ae'a, who was born and raised on Maui.
Over the past 20 years, Donaghy has made major steps toward the revitalization of the Hawaiian language. His achievements include:
* Creating one of the first bulletin board systems for an indigenous language in 1994 with Kawai'ae'a and another colleague. This system allowed users to upload and download software for Hawaiian language purposes.
* Working with Apple in 2002 to create an internal Hawaiian keyboard for its OS 10.2 operating system. This endeavor provided much of the foundation and legwork for the Windows 8 system.
* Enabled the first Native American language through the "Google in Your Language" program, which allows users to display their search tips in Hawaiian. He spent more than 100 hours translating search terms that appear on Google into Hawaiian in 2009.
Kawai'ae'a said these actions are part of an ongoing movement to energize the language, which starts with children.
"Our children need to learn how to read and write the language the way it was traditionally written," said Kawai'ae'a, who has served as the Hawaiian immersion teacher at Paia School. "Children can now use the computer to communicate in Hawaiian. . . . We appreciate all the work that Keola has done."
Kawai'ae'a said less than 2 percent of the state of Hawaii speaks its native language, and it only took one generation to get there.
"It takes at least three generations to take a language out of its endangered state and we're in the second," said Kawai'ae'a. "It's Hawaii's responsibility to preserve the language, and there's a lot of work and technology which can support it. But the only way a language can survive is if it's functional."

Significance and Use
5.1 This test method determines the flexural properties (including strength, stiffness, and load/deflection behavior) of polymer matrix composite materials under the conditions defined. Procedure A is used for three-point loading and Procedure B is used for four-point loading. This test method was developed for optimum use with continuous-fiber-reinforced polymer matrix composites and differs in several respects from other flexure methods, including the use of a standard span-to-thickness ratio of 32:1 versus the 16:1 ratio used by Test Methods D790 (a plastics-focused method covering three-point flexure) and D6272 (a plastics-focused method covering four-point flexure).
5.2 This test method is intended to interrogate long-beam strength in contrast to the short-beam strength evaluated by Test Method D2344/D2344M.
5.3 Flexural properties determined by these procedures can be used for quality control and specification purposes, and may find design applications.
5.4 These procedures can be useful in the evaluation of multiple environmental conditions to determine which are design drivers and may require further testing.
5.5 These procedures may also be used to determine flexural properties of structures.
1. Scope
1.1 This test method determines the flexural stiffness and strength properties of polymer matrix composites.
1.1.1 Procedure A—A three-point loading system utilizing center loading on a simply supported beam.
1.1.2 Procedure B—A four-point loading system utilizing two load points equally spaced from their adjacent support points, with a distance between load points of one-half of the support span.
Note 1: Unlike Test Method D6272, which allows loading at both one-third and one-half of the support span, in order to standardize geometry and simplify calculations this standard permits loading at only one-half the support span.
1.2 For comparison purposes, tests may be conducted according to either test procedure, provided that the same procedure is used for all tests, since the two procedures generally give slightly different property values.
1.3 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound units are to be regarded separately as standard. Within the text, the inch-pound units are shown in brackets. The values stated in each system are not exact equivalents; therefore, each system must be used independently of the other. Combining values from the two systems may result in nonconformance with the standard.
1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

The Film
This incredible story of how a treasure trove of banned Soviet art worth millions of dollars was stashed in a far-off desert of Uzbekistan develops into a larger exploration of how art survives in times of oppression.
During the Soviet regime, a small group of artists remain true to their vision despite threats of torture, imprisonment, and death. Their plight inspires young Igor Savitsky, a frustrated painter of aristocratic extraction who'd landed in Karakalpakstan (Uzbekistan's autonomous northwestern republic) as an archaeologist. He became fascinated by the region's folk art. Decades of Sovietization had devalued such distinctively ethnic artifacts to the point that collecting elaborate handmade garments, jewelry, carpets, and the like initially got Savitsky branded a "rubbish man." Yet he eventually obtained funds to open a museum in 1966 for those objects. Its location far from Moscow censorship also allowed him to pursue what became his real passion: finding and acquiring modern art so out of sync with official taste that it was virtually banned.
Pretending to buy state-approved art, Savitsky instead daringly rescues 40,000 forbidden works. Though a penniless artist himself, he cajoles the cash to pay for the art from the same authorities who are banning it. He amasses an eclectic mix of Russian avant-garde art. But his greatest discovery is an unknown school of artists who settle in Uzbekistan after the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917, encountering a unique Islamic culture as exotic to them as Tahiti was for Gauguin. They develop a startlingly original style, fusing European modernism with centuries-old Eastern traditions.
Around the saga of Savitsky and the artists in his collection, the filmmakers weave the cultural and political context of the times, setting side-by-side images from the collection with rare Soviet archival film and stills. For instance, in 1934, 160,000 peasants were forced to build the gigantic Ferghana canal with nothing more than shovels and picks in order to irrigate the Uzbek desert for cotton growing. The stark images dissolve into paintings of this utopian endeavor by artist Alexander Volkov.
Ben Kingsley, Sally Field, and Ed Asner voice the diaries and letters of Savitsky and the artists. Intercut with recollections of the artists' children and historic footage, the film takes us on a dramatic journey of sacrifice for the sake of creative freedom. Described by the New York Times as "one of the most remarkable collections of 20th century Russian art" and located in one of the world's poorest regions, today these priceless paintings are a lucrative target for Islamic fundamentalists, corrupt bureaucrats, and art profiteers. The collection remains as endangered as when Savitsky first created it, posing the question — whose responsibility is it to preserve this cultural treasure?

WASHINGTON – The federal government has agreed to issue new recommendations to the trucking industry on the proper use of GPS devices in hopes that the modern-day technology will no longer steer truck drivers into low-hanging overpasses, including some in Niagara and Erie counties.
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration confirmed the change to Sen. Charles E. Schumer, D-N.Y., who had been pressing for action on a situation that has resulted in 213 bridge strikes between 1993 and 2011 in the Buffalo area, with 196 of them happening in Erie County.
"These brand new federal standards for GPS use among commercial truck drivers will be the first major steps to thwarting life-threatening bridge strikes," said Schumer, who announced the change Monday.

Every weekday morning, dozens of students come to Alba Middle School 30 minutes before school starts to participate in tutoring sessions.
And two afternoons a week, more of them stick around after school for what is known as "homework camp."
Mostly, said math teacher Karen Sims, the students are there on their own, hoping to do better in class.
But some are taking advantage of a new program offered at a rising number of Mobile and Baldwin county middle schools that gives pupils a chance to redo failed assignments.
As part of the nationally recognized Making Middle Grades Work program, these schools are moving toward an approach in which teachers will not give out failing marks on botched assignments.
Instead, proponents of the program said, teachers should give students a second opportunity to complete the work, the hope being that students actually learn the material in the process. Teachers should encourage or even require students to participate in tutoring programs until they grasp the assignment and complete it, according to a description of the program.
It's been dubbed "The Power of the I," because teachers can now give out an "I" for "incomplete" rather than a failing mark. That "I" is replaced when the assignment is redone.
Martha Peek, deputy superintendent of the Mobile County Public School System, said teachers at all of the county's 20 middle schools have been trained in this new approach.
Teachers from six of Baldwin County's 10 middle schools have been trained, said spokesman Terry Wilhite.
Peek and Wilhite said central office administrators are leaving it up to each school to set the parameters for which assignments can be redone and how that process works.
"In middle school, it's either 'I can' or 'I can't. I made a zero and I'm through with it.' But this gives students who are struggling the motivation," Peek said. "It's not a door that closes and says there's no hope there. It teaches them perseverance. It can be a good process, but it has to be done carefully."
At Alba, Principal James Gill said, students who fail a major assignment ? which he defined as a test or a project such as a book report ? can redo that assignment at the teacher's discretion. But, he said, they must show that they are trying harder the second go-around by attending the morning tutoring or afternoon camp.
"You don't let the child simply take a zero on an item. You keep going back at them over and over, trying to get them to turn in grade-level work that's appropriate," Gill said. "My ultimate goal is that the child learns the concept, not that he make a particular letter grade."
Some teachers have complained that students who earn bad grades should have to keep those grades.
Sims, who spent one recent weekday morning helping students solve algebraic equations with absolute values, disagreed. She said that the opportunity to change the grade may provide the motivation that students need to actually get the work done.
"It helps," Sims said. "If they learn the skill, then let the grade reflect that. The important thing is that they learned the skill, not that they learned it two weeks after they were supposed to."
At Fairhope Middle School, Principal Deadra Powe said, "failure is not an option." The school is in its third year of the program.
Students who do not turn in an assignment must come to the office and call their parents. If they bring in the assignment the next day, they can earn a grade of up to 75 percent or the following day up to 65 percent.
Teachers require students to either complete the work at home or during lunch detention or at Saturday school.
As a result, Fairhope Middle has gone from having 30 to 40 students fail a grade each year to just four last year, Powe said. That's significant considering that officials in both counties and throughout the country have focused on the fact that students who fail classes in middle school are more likely to drop out.
Powe spoke proudly of a student she brought into her office recently to finish an assignment he was refusing to do during Saturday school.
"School was out. I gave him a snack and a bottle of water, and I said, 'Sweetheart, I'm not going to allow you to fail,'" she said. "And he did it."
Turns out, she said, he was struggling with direct and indirect objects in his English class and was too embarrassed, until then, to ask for help.
"As principal, I can talk to them in such a way that they know I'm not doing this as punishment," Powe said. "I'm doing this because I want them to do better."

I believe that what you need is more multiplayer games.
IMO, the Wii is more of a multiplayer console rather than a single player. So that's probably why you think it's boring right now. I also think the Wii is boring, but that's only because I have no one to play with and I have no online multiplayer games and that's why I'm hoping to get MOHH2 and wait for SSBB to come out so I could actually play my Wii.

Objective: To develop a strategy for evaluating drug efficacy over time that accounts for heterogeneous clinical courses evolving after initiation of therapy and to demonstrate its use in assessing the long-term therapeutic benefit of propranolol after myocardial infarction.
Design: Analysis of data from the Beta-Blocker in Heart Attack Trial (BHAT), a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial that enrolled patients from 1978 to 1980 and followed participants for vital status to April 1982.
Setting: Thirty-one clinical centers in the United States and Canada.
Patients: Eligible patients included 3297 men and women 30 to 69 years of age who survived 1 year after trial entry.
Intervention: Patients were classified as being on treatment at 12 months after randomization if they were receiving β-blocker therapy at the 12-month visit and off treatment if they were not receiving β-blocker therapy at that time.
Outcome Measure: Vital status evaluated at 720 days of follow-up.
Results: A total of 2914 patients (88%) was classified as being at lower risk (strata I and II). For these patients, survival curves by treatment at 12 months were virtually indistinguishable. Among the 383 patients categorized as being at high risk on the basis of recurrent ischemic events, arrhythmias, congestive heart failure, or severe comorbidity during the first 12 months, the use of β-blockers was associated with a 43% proportional decline in the subsequent risk for death (P = 0.01 by log-rank test).
Conclusions: In patients who survived to 1 year with low- to moderate-risk clinical courses, β-blocker therapy did not have long-term beneficial effect. In contrast, among patients who had a high-risk clinical course during the first year, β-blockers significantly reduced mortality in the follow-up period.
Solid line = On β-blocker therapy. Dashed line = Off β-blocker therapy.

Number 1. thing to ALWAYS REMEMBER is only flash a rom that's made for your version of the Galaxy S III. Say if you are on at&t, make sure that specific rom is made for the at&t variant and not a different carrier. A lot of people brick their phones trying to flash things that aren't specifically made for their phone. Number 2. ALWAYS READ INSTRUCTIONS

An Experienced, Versatile Lawyer You Can Trust
Since earning my law degree and passing the Tennessee Bar in 1985, I have had a busy, fulfilling career. Serious cases and complex problems are no stranger to me, as my work has included intensely contested divorces to death-penalty trials, criminal appeals and other litigation in federal court.
Continuing a Tradition of Dedicated Legal Work
I spent a year as a prosecutor in Henderson County before entering private practice. My approach to the law is modeled on figures such as Abraham Lincoln and the literary hero Atticus Finch of To Kill A Mockingbird. My father, F. Lloyd Tatum, was a renowned Tennessee lawyer and longstanding Court of Appeals judge — known to some as the criminal defense attorney for Buford Pusser, a legendary 1960s law officer made famous in the Walking Tall movies.
Across my practice areas, a reputation for personal service, hard work and vigorous protection of my clients' rights has brought many referrals from attorneys and people I have helped. I was recently honored with inclusion in 2009 Mid South Super Lawyers. For a more extensive profile of my background and accomplishments, you can follow the link below.
If you need legal counsel to deal with a criminal or traffic charge, family matter, personal injury, denied disability claim or real estate matter, please contact me, Lloyd R. Tatum, at my office right on Main Street across from the old court house in Henderson, Tennessee.
Super Lawyers® is a Thomson Reuters business.

This competition-winning masterplan will convert a three hectare site in East Greenwich into London's first major carbon neutral development, providing much-needed homes for families while restoring the area's civic core. Make was appointed to work on the scheme by urban regeneration developers, First Base.
Designed to achieve an exemplary degree of social, economic and environmental sustainability, the Heart of East Greenwich masterplan is set around a generous new public square framed by a Civic Building containing a swimming pool, library, health centre and education facilities. Shops, cafes and restaurant units at the ground levels of surrounding buildings will bring additional activity to the space. A total of 645 new homes are to be created specifically for families and key workers. The homes are arranged to create secure and welcoming neighbourhood streets and communal squares which echo traditional street patterns.
Environmental sustainability has been fundamental to the design development process and the scheme meets the GLA's exacting standards for zero carbon emissions. The project aims to be a national exemplar for the creation of a genuinely environmentally-responsible community with buildings designed to minimise environmental impact, reduce water and energy consumption and ultimately to bring new life and a sense of civic focus to the area.

Hi everyone who has ever read my ultra-wordiness and strong opinions about SEO blogging – what works and what does not.
We have literally written over 500 articles about how to blog effectively on WorPress, how to build topic authority for search engine placement, and how to garner locale geo-targeted marketing success.
We are very proud of our own search engine placement and if you read the articles on Get Found Now, you will pretty much know what we know about how to make it happen online.
We Practice What We Preach
When and if you have the time or inkling, type into Google the following search terms: real estate content writer, seo content services, wordpress seo blogging expert, optimized content services and seo blogging tips (SEO BloggingDiva.com), geo-targeted content services, optimized content writer, optimized blog content writer, etc.
The reason why we have such great placement for these terms is because we practice what we preach. Think about it. Why on earth would anyone want to hire a WordPress Genesis SEO website design and content writing company that doesn't have the wherewithal to garner results for their own website?
There are a lot of online helpers and experts out there who lack experience and knowledge, even with the best of intentions. Before you hire anyone to take command of your online presence, make sure they have a solid understanding of WordPress, online marketing and SEO that won't bite you in the next Google update.
Intra-Linked Website Content Equals Success
Everything we do revolves around a professional and cohesive front and back-end game plan on a WordPress Genesis framework. We focus on quality content (intra-linking pages to pages, posts to pages and posts to posts). We subscribe 100% to intra-linking content within a website rather than vying for or "buying inbound links" which happens to be a big red flag when it comes to Google updates. Intra-linking is why we rank high for just about every search term we go after and why the WordPress websites we develop for our clients flourish in the index so quickly.
Online Integrity
If you read our SEO blogging and WordPress tips, you will see that we are about online integrity, not SEO trickery in any way, shape or form. Hence the reason why GetFoundNow.com and our client websites have yet to be affected negatively by Google updates.
Here are just a Few Articles about WordPress, SEO and Blogging
- Link Building Is Not What It Used To Be (written by Michael Stankard)
- How to Dominate Your Local Market with Geo-targeted Area Profile Pages
- Get Found Now! A WordPress Design Company that Actually Cares if You Succeed!

4 To a Bed: Our Co-Sleeping ConundrumSelena Mills
To be fair, it never started out that way. As a conundrum that is. We've been fans of co-sleeping with both of our babies since they were born. The thing is, they're far from being babies anymore. We need a bigger bed (nothing larger than King, is there?), or some sort of supreme co-sleeping bed hack to make this cuddly sleeping business continue to work.
Or, you know – kick them out of our bed.
Which, for me, is something I struggle with. It's not like they don't start off sleeping in their own beds. It's just that they don't stay in them all night. We put the kibosh on Wyndham crawling into bed with us with the birth of his sister, as she co-slept with us well into her 10th month. We then moved her into a crib, and Wyndham slowly began creeping into bed with us anytime after 5am.
I didn't mind. In fact, I loved it. My little guy is such a darling snuggler, and for some reason he'd only kick his dad in the head when moving about in his sleep. Not me. So we just followed our instincts. If Wyndham came into bed with us and was particularly wiggly, we'd move him back to is bed. Sometimes he was fine with it, other times he'd get quite upset about it. And loud. At 5 am. Waking up his sister with whom he shares a room.
Nobody wants to deal with all of that in the middle of the night when they've just been woken out of a dead sleep and desperately want some more. Yes, this is all part of parenting and it's up to us to establish boundaries with our kids and remain consistent. It's just that I firmly believe that there are many benefits to a child's development during the early years in co-sleeping past the baby stage. Especially if it is something that brings them comfort and confidence. As I have watched it do with my son.
He is a more gentle, affectionate, independent, and kind little boy; due in part, I think, to his co-sleeping journey. You bet I'm raising a mama's boy!
So guess who's been watching all of this bed-surfing since we turned her crib into a toddler bed? Abby of course. Obviously she wasn't going to be left out of the party, and has taken after her brother in the middle of the night bed hopping. Sometimes it's just her and I don't mind one bit. I want to give her the same things we gave/give her brother. But when it's all four of us? Not the most restful of sleeps.
I love sleeping with my little ones, it's just a simple matter of physics. We're crushed up like sardines. Which only seems to affect us big people. The little ones love it. Getting them to sleep in the same room, however, is something we've mastered, through no shortage of tears, door-sitting, and time. So we're good on that part. (More on that in another post. I have the tips…. ) Now, just to keep them in their room all night!
It would seem the time has come to lay down the law and bid our bittersweet co-sleeping journey adieu.
Do you have any tips aside from just cutting them off cold turkey?
