Is bigger better? Some fuller figured women are repulsed by the thought of using plus sized models for product ads.
Various studies show that body image is directly related to self-esteem issues in young women; however, a new study at Arizona State University found that plus-size models can not sell products as effectively as thinner models. In addition, the conclusion of the study suggests that this is directly related to lower self-esteem in fuller-figured women.
I love the fuller-figured look and have personally worked with many plus sized models, however, I've found that there are some fuller-figured women that are negatively affected by the open display of larger bodies in product ads. Unfortunately, this is only an issue because of how these women feel about themselves.
Naomi Mandel, marketing associate professor in the W. P. Carey School of Business at ASU says, "We found that overweight consumers demonstrated lower self-esteem — and therefore probably less enthusiasm about buying products — after exposure to any size models in ads (versus ads with no models). Also, normal-weight consumers experienced lower self-esteem after exposure to moderately heavy models, such as those in Dove soap's 'Real Women' campaign, than after exposure to moderately thin models."
10 Tips to help improve self-concept for fuller-figured women:
• Stay away from fashion magazines!
• Clear negative mind clutter
• Never use your weight to measure your self worth
• A positive attitude is your best asset
• Look to develop a healthy lifestyle for yourself
• Be thankful for what you have and who you are
• Make the best of what you do well, highlight your strengths
• Be happy with your body shape
• Educate yourself on the issues of body size and weight
• Surround yourself with positive, supportive people

Inside the post office of the small Lycoming County town of Muncy, visitors are greeted by a beautiful mural depicting a woman on a white horse, warning settlers of an imminent attack in 1778.
"Rachel Silverthorn's Ride," painted in 1938 by artist John W. Beauchamp, is just one of many examples of art commissioned by the Treasury Department during the New Deal era.
President Franklin D. Roosevelt's massive public works project, intended as an antidote to the Great Depression, was not just about building roads, bridges and buildings. It was also about art.
More than 1,200 original works of art were commissioned for U.S. post offices between 1934 and 1943. Of those, 88 were in Pennsylvania and 80 of them survive today.

Let me recommend the PHP manual as a very good guide for things like this.

Hi, Thanks for your reply.
I have posted the same in another forum too.

The php.conf may or may not be present! Some admins usually put the directives relating to php in the httpd.conf itself! You can find php.ini in /etc/

London, 22 December 2014
ANZ expect most commodity markets to improve in 2014 after an average 8% decline in 2013. The performances will be skewed with improving global growth over the next 12 months offset by rising supply and high stockpile positions. The important Chinese market will stabilise according to ANZ, which should reset an overly-cautious view on the key commodity consuming economy. Investment funds positions are also likely to be rebuilt, but rising US interest rates will prove to be a headwind and create volatile trading conditions in the first half of the year.
"Palladium and energy are among our most preferred commodities, while oilseeds and precious metals are among our less preferred. The China demand outlook remains the key risk after three years of slowing growth," said Mark Pervan, Global Head of Commodity Strategy, ANZ Research.
Authorities have clamped down hard on investments and liquidity conditions to help cool the economy from the overheated conditions in early 2010. However, most of the hard work appears to have been done, with the GDP declining to a more stable 7-8% growth range in the past 12 months.
China Data Supportive
"We think the new authorities are now in a better position to re-stimulate targeted sectors, which should restore confidence back into commodity markets. The second year of a new China government administration (2014 in this case) tends to be a strong one, suggesting a series of positive stimulus moves can be expected to set the growth agenda for the coming years."

• A patient had an ischemic infarction of the right medial thalamus, with a resultant contralateral neglect syndrome. We propose that the medial thalamic nuclei, particularly centromedian and parafascicularis (CMPF), are normally involved in the arousal-activation process by which an organism can be aroused by and respond to novel or important stimuli. Specifically, we propose that (1) the mesencephalic reticular formation subserves tonic arousal to novel or painful stimuli by inhibiting the nucleus reticularis thalami (NR) and (2) that selective attention is mediated by cortical input to NR. The CMPF is closely associated with motor systems (basal ganglia, ventrolateral nucleus of the thalamus [VL], and frontal lobes). A pathway involving CMPF, the frontal cortex, and the portion of NR associated with VL may be important in preparing the tonically aroused organism for action. Unilateral lesions of CMPF therefore induce an asymmetric hypokinesia, and bilateral lesions may induce akinetic mutism.

This is the received wisdom: a hung parliament is good news for the Liberal Democrats, because it leaves them, as the third-largest party, holding the balance of power. LibDem leader Nick Clegg will be courted by both sides and will decide whether Labour or Conservatives form the next government with him as part of a coalition administration.
UK News
Opinion poll raises spectre of hung British parliament
The latest opinion poll in Britain showing the opposition Conservatives six points ahead of the ruling Labour party has raised the possibility of a hung parliament with no one party having an overall majority and a return to the kind of political uncertainty not seen since the 1970s.
Was the Queen's speech pointless?
LibDem leader Nick Clegg had called for the speech to be cancelled because he says there is little chance of much legislation getting through before the coming general election. "The speech will be dressed up as the way to 'build Britain's future' when it will be little more than a rehearsal of the next Labour Party manifesto, an attempt to road-test policy gimmicks to see whether they might save this Government's skin," he said."It is a waste of everyone's time, and should be cancelled in favour of an emergency programme of political reform," he added in the Independent. "That is the only job this rump of a Parliament is fit for."The Conservatives piled in too, with their leader in the upper House, Lord Strathclyde saying that if the measures outlined were so important they would have been in the government's legislative programme last year rather than being left to the last moment of the fifth term.Downing Street however called the speech a "very focused programme" of legislation, while Labour's deputy leader Harriet Harman said it contained important plans to foster economic growth and make the banks more accountable.What do you think?

OBSERVING HER HAIR-styles over the past year–a shag, curls, waist-length extensions–you can see that Lauren Holly is not afraid to take chances. Thanks to her game spirit, the former Mrs. Jim Carrey has had an interesting life and a varied, 15-year acting career. As for her adventures in fashion, however, our judges warn the 36-year-old Holly: Go lightly. "She's a beautiful woman, but her clothes betray her," says quiz show host Ben Stein. "She seems confused about who she is." So does model Mia Tyler, who can't make sense of the 5'8" actress's bizarre array of outfits: "Weird...throws me off...I don't know what to think." It's Holly's penchant for busy prints and for pairing perfectly chic dresses with over-the-top shoes, bags and baubles that confounds our panelists. The quickest way for the costar of CBS's just-canceled Chicago Hope to emerge from beneath all those ruffles, willy-nilly lines and misplaced accessories? "Don't overdo it," says designer Elie Tahari. "Underdo it."
Holly wasn't dressed to the nines at the L.A. premiere of The Whole Nine Yards in February, say our judges. Elie Tahari finds the gown "too busy," as does designer Dana Buchman, who notes, "The print is not beautiful, and the print is the dress." Mia Tyler considers the bigger picture: "I don't think big, flashy designs like this get you too far in this world."
It was a lack of flair–and flare–that did Holly in at a GQ party in L.A. in February. "I wish she had left off the jewelry and the bag and simplified things," says Dana Buchman. Elie Tahari likes the Versace top but not the Chrome Hearts pants: "They should have been bell-bottomed."
The actress slipped into something "jellyfish-like," says Elie Tahari of the Christian Lacroix gown Holly wore to an Oscar party in March. "It's a bad cut," he adds. Mia Tyler says, "The see-through is strange. I don't like the bag either. It doesn't look right with the dress." Dana Buchman likes the color of the dress–but that's it. "There's too much going on," she says. "It's messy."
A fumble, at the L.A. premiere of the football flick Any Given Sunday last December. Although the judges all praise the bold red of Holly's dress, they cry foul about the fine points. "The dress should have been longer. And the heels on her sandals are too high," says Elie Tahari. Seconds Dana Buchman: "The shoes don't work with the dress. They seem Barbarella-y."
Ben Stein's theory about the shimmering ensemble Holly wore to the Body Shots premiere in L.A. last October: "Some cruel person said, 'I'm going to tell her she looks great and send her out in this.' " Dana Buchman sticks to the facts: "The bag is a different metallic color than the jeans and top–and that's distracting."

After reading the Thread about Connie engines, I had a question.
My mechanical knowledge of piston engines is limited to small GA aircraft and their powerplants. I know very little about the operation of larger scale piston engines found on early generations of airliners such as Connie's and other airliners of the era. Or even WWII era fighters and bombers engines.
However, I am aware the that these types of aircraft used a leaded high octane aviation gasoline. I think somewhere between 125-130 octane, if memory is correct? That compared to the 100LL that's refined for avgas these days.
With relatively so few of these types of large piston engined classics flying today, my question involves their source of fuel.
With the original leaded high octane fuel they were designed to run on no longer produced by refiners, what do current operators use to run these planes? Can they be converted to run on 100LL, much as small GA planes can be converted to use auto gasoline with a lower octane rating than 100?
Lufthansa has been restoring a Constellation for about four or five years at an airport near where I live in Maine. They even built a hangar for the project. When completed, the aircraft will be flown to Germany. Also, I'm curious to know where all the fuel will come for the flight assuming it's not normal 100LL? How much fuel does it take to fuel a piston of this size for a trans-Atlantic flight. .

Ashland scientists have figured out how to keep fried foods looking and tasting great while reducing the oil uptake by up to 50 percent.
In deep-fat frying, our Benecel™ MC or HPMC forms a barrier that will hold out oil while retaining moisture. In addition to fewer calories, the food will have lower fat content, a characteristic associated with lowering obesity and avoiding heart disease.
Foods such as potato croquettes and onion rings will also hold together better during frying, so they appear more appetizing and leave less debris in the oil.

The Lady Dogs, coming off a 2-2 showing in the Sam Houston Tournament last weekend, caught fire early Monday, draining nine of 12 3-pointers in the first two frames to take a 34-12 advantage at the half.
Allison Baggett hit four long balls in the first half and went 6-for-8 from beyond the arch on the night to finish with a game-high 26 points.
Iota continued its tear in the third quarter, going on a 20-7 run before the reserves took the court in the final frame.
Madison Meche and Candace Sensat each hit double figures on the night with 11 and 10 points, respectively. Anna Lege pitched in six points and Caroline Hebert added five. Adalie Wriborg and Claire LeJeune each scored three.
The Lady Dogs began District 5-AA play last night against Welsh but results weren't available at press time.

By Brian Carcaterra
It has been over six months since I have moved to the west coast.
Malibu, California, to be exact.
When I got off the plane coming from NYC I was in state of pure happiness. Josh Waldbaum, the head coach of Pepperdine University Men's Lacrosse team picked me up from the airport, and so began my travels on the "left coast." As I was driving west on the 10 Freeway, amongst the palm trees and convertibles, I experienced a feeling in my gut that told me "this place is going to be for me."
It didn't take long or me to adjust to the "California" way of life. I began doing things on a daily basis that usually would be reserved for only a couple of days a year. Activities such as surfing, mountain climbing, kayaking, downhill bike riding, and horseback riding. Of course these said activities were done during the day. As one might assume, my night activities were very different.
I was experiencing so many new things in such a short period of time, and for the first time in my life, lacrosse felt like a part of my past. This new revelation was a bit disheartening and unfortunate. You see Lacrosse has been such a huge part of my life for so long that a couple of weeks without it felt like an eternity. As time passed I tried to find ways to involve myself more with the sport I love so much. I really felt the need to compete and get back where I think I belong, on the lacrosse field.
It was as if my thoughts were being played on the big screen on Sunset Boulevard, just west of the famed Sunset Strip, I got a call from an acquaintance, and former adversary, Scott Hochstadt. We began catching up on some old times, and out of nowhere he said to me "Do you want to play on my club team?' I tried to play it cool, and seem disinterested, but before long I was all set to go. Team Hollywood! I spoke to my brothers and my parents about me playing on this team, and they thought it was just fitting, "Brian in Malibu playing Lacrosse for the Hollywood Starzz." Before long I met everyone on the team and became very close with a bunch of guys that I can see myself being friends with for a long time.

Lot # 780 (of 873) < Previous Lot | Next Lot >
James Dean Signed and Inscribed Photo
Starting Bid - $1,500.00, Sold For - $7,475.00
One of the best signed James Dean photographs in existence! This original signed photograph (8 x 9.5 inches) magnificently captures Dean's youthful good looks and piercing stare. It is signed with a flourish in the upper left, "To Susan/With many thanks/my best always!/James Dean" ("10") in bold, purple ink. Classically trained at the prestigious Actor's Studio in New York, Dean starred in only three major motion pictures, but remains the very personification of the "live fast, die young" 1950s rebel. The signature and salutation on this photograph are large, bold, and clear. The photo does exhibit some minor creasing at the top center above Dean's image, but this is very minor and does not in the least detract from the signature or display value of the photo. James Dean died on September 30, 1955, but his image and memory remain ingrained in the consciousness of American popular culture. Because of his early death, authentic signed photographs of Dean are extremely rare. This is a spectacular and ideal example. Framed and matted to total dimensions of 15 x 18 inches. Excellent/Near Mint condition. LOA from James Spence, Steve Grad and John Reznikoff/PSA DNA. Reserve $1,500. Estimate $3,000/$5,000. SOLD FOR $7,475.00

text: The Franco-Dutch organist Christine Kamp has documented the complete organ works by the blind composer and organist Louis Vierne. Over the next few years, the Festivo label will release a unique series of five double cds. Apart from the well-known Organ Symphonies and Pièces, the recordings will include also Vierne's early works, both Messes basses and his compositions for organ and various instruments. This will put in a different light not only the organ style of this French composer, but also his position in pre-war France. Combining the harmonic richness of late Romanticism with the atmosphere of Impressionism, Vierne's oeuvre is considered a vital link between composers such as Franck, Fauré and Debussy. Festivo's special recording techniques create quite a clear and detailed reproduction of Vierne's virtuoso-polyphonic cathedrals of sound.Recordings are taking place on several monumental French Cavaillé-Coll organs, this type of instruments doing full justice to Vierne's expressive idiom.Thanks to both intensive collaboration with the American Vierne specialist and musicologist dr Steven Young and connections with French fellow organists, who may be considered heirs to the Vierne tradition, Christine Kamp can make use of the latest opinions as to how to perform Vierne's organ works. This is of great importance to her way of performing and interpreting Vierne's organ works.

Dreadfully Different Dolls
I love internet shopping, because you can connect with artists and craftspeople who you'd never have heard of otherwise. If your Christmas list includes someone, a doll collector or not, whose taste runs to the unique, odd, or totally bizarre, I have some wonderful shopping suggestions. This is the world of doll making turned on its head.
Headless Historicals sells dolls that depict famous historical figures and their manner of death, whether by beheading or some other gruesome method of execution. Pictured are Lady Jane Grey and Marie Antoinette.
Don't you just love these knitted zombie dolls? Hannah J. Simpson makes them, and you can buy them through her online store.
Yurei Urie is the artist behind the unsettling Little Apple Dolls. They all have big dark eyes, no mouth, and carry an apple. Stores are chronically out of stock, but you can find some editions at Amazon.
Krypt Kiddies sells lovely but demonic dolls in stores, and also have a waiting list for one-of-a-kind handmade dolls.
Cuddle up with the undead! The Dismember Me Zombie Doll can be pulled apart and stuck back together. This plush doll could be stashed in your desk as a stress reliever.

Horrible Sweet art and designs makes "nylon beings" that resemble mutant potatoes. Or mutant human babies.
Jodi Cain of Tattered Rags makes one-of-a-kind gothic dolls with vintage buttons, and some feature genuine vintage fabrics. See more of her dolls at her online shop.

I am an ex-mortician and taxidermist, and am now sculpting and
creating one-of-a-kind collectibles. Just give me a description
or picture of what you have in mind and I can create it!

ECOSOC Discusses Climate Change During Annual Substantive Segment
16 July 2009: On 14 July 2009, the UN Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) conducted a round table discussion on the theme "Towards a UN comprehensive response to the challenges of climate change" as part of its Coordination Segment, and on 15 July 2009, the Operational Activities Segment opened with a thematic panel discussion on "The current economic, food and climate change crises and their effects on the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals: the role of the UN System's support to national efforts."
At the close of the 14 July round table, ECOSOC Vice-President Somduth Soborun summarized the discussion and highlighted that: climate change is recognized as a multifaceted challenge that requires the efforts and expertise of a broad range of actors; the Chief Executives Board for Coordination has launched an initiative to align its efforts and strengths within a clear framework for action that would allow the System to act in concert and comprehensively to address the challenges of climate change; and this initiative seeks to forge the UN System's contribution to the UNFCCC negotiation process, and to bring together and connect the different capacities of the System, both normative, standard-setting and operational, to deal comprehensively with the threats and challenges of climate change.
The panelists in the round table discussion included Mohammad Khazaee, Chair of the UN Development Programme (UNDP) Executive Board, who said UNDP was engaged in developing a knowledge platform to provide support for UN agencies and member States in designing effective and result-oriented climate change policies and measures. Gerda Verburg, Chair of the 17th session of the Commission on Sustainable Development (CSD17), said agriculture and climate change are two key cornerstones of a sustainable future, and noted that CSD17's outcome document identifies 278 policy measures and actions to expedite implementation in agriculture, rural development, land, drought, desertification and Africa. Armen Martirosyan, Chair of the Commission on the Status of Women, emphasized the role of women in addressing climate change. Maria Nazareth Farani Azevedo, Chair of the International Labour Organization (ILO) Governing Body, emphasized that the need to enhance green jobs and increase investment in green technology had been recognized in the Global Jobs Pact as part of the strategy leading to a sustainable recovery. And Miloslav Hettes, Vice-Chair of the Commission for Social Development, noted that, while climate change is producing complex social responses and may have magnified migration, conflicts, crime and violence into catastrophic measures, and it is increasingly certain what will happen to the Earth's climate, knowledge of the likely social consequences of climate change for human society are still mostly unknown.
Also on 14 July 2009, the Coordination Segment considered country level experiences with effective sustainable development strategies. In summarizing the discussion, Somduth Soborun, Vice-President of the Council, noted that: governments need to provide coherent guidance in various government bodies; inter-agency mechanisms like UN-Water and UN-Energy should be fully taken advantage of; the current crisis provides an opportunity to change the path of economic growth, and if not taken there would be dire consequences in the area of climate change; and the challenges ahead for the UN in strengthening its efforts in sustainable development are not just about scaling up activities, but about coming up with comprehensive approaches to these challenges.
On 15 July 2009, the Operational Activities Segment opened with a thematic panel discussion on "the current economic, food and climate change crises and their effects on the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals: the role of the UN System's support to national efforts." Among the panelists, Noeleen Heyzer, Executive Secretary of the Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP), said most of the coherent policy dialogues and policy action in the context of the present crisis have been at the regional level, and highlighted ESCAP's efforts related to capacity development, building consensus and sharing experiences at the regional level to promote low-carbon green growth.

Mary Alice White of Savannah, Ga., received 18 months in prison followed by six years of probation after pleading guilty in the case, the Savannah Morning News reports.
"The scars she left behind emotionally can't begin to be measured. Our hearts are sad," Deen, 63, told the judge. She added: "Mary White is the most feared and destroying kind of thief you may ever run up against. Mary was a master at making you think she cares about you ... She used our love and kindness against" us.
Deen's husband, Michael Groover, told the judge that when he told his wife of the theft, she "cried and said, 'Oh no, not my Mary.' "
Police said White pawned some $27,500 worth of jewelry owned by Deen. The chef and her husband reported some $100,000 worth of jewelry missing between Aug. 1, 2009, and May 1, 2010.
Groover added: "Nobody but Mary knows everything she stole from us."

What is in this article?:
- Santa Clara EGVM catches raise quarantine area
- Pheromone trap success
- 9 counties affected
- Santa Clara finds third-generation EGVM
- Concerns raised about EGVM statewide
- Napa having success turning back pest
Pheromone trap success
The 4,000 pheromone traps (one per 20 acres) in Napa County are telling the success story.
"At the end of last season there were vineyards with really bad EGVM infestations," says Martin Mochizuki, Napa County's EGVM grower advisor. "We were seeing almost one larva per berry."
This year, about 99,000 first-generation moths were caught in 4,000 pheromone traps deployed countywide. "During sunset, at the peak of the first flight, you could see the moths swarming like mosquitoes," says Napa County EGVM grower adviser Martin Mochizuki.
Following an aggressive first-generation treatment effort by growers in the infested area, only 1,300 moths were trapped in the second generation. By the third generation, the trap count had dwindled to only about 100. No grape damage was reported from the second EGVM generation. So far, he has heard of only one vineyard being damaged by third-generation larvae.
Napa growers have spent about $150 per acre for conventional insecticides to control EGVM and $250 per acre for organic products.
Grower costs like that statewide to control EGVM would have a significant impact on many economically struggling wine grape growers.
The quarantines triggered by multiple moth finds are particularly insidious where fresh fruit crops other than grapes are grown since the quarantines involve hosts of crops. It doesn't cause major damage in non-grape crops, but it can survive on olives, plums, apricots, cherries and many other crops and ornamentals.
When a quarantine is triggered, growers and all processor within the quarantine boundaries must sign "compliance agreements" to sanitize equipment moving in an out of the areas as well as agree to other measures to prevent the spread of EGVM. These quarantines remain in effect for at least year, even if no more EGVM are detected in the area.
Single moths also have been trapped in Santa Cruz and Monterey counties. It takes at least two EGVM moth/larvae finds to trigger a quarantine. Also, at least one county, Yolo, is monitoring the movement of grapes into that county from know EGVM quarantine areas.
When EGVM moths were trapped in early spring outside of the North Coast, regulators were adamant about the fact that these catches did not mean EGVM populations were established outside of the North Coast.
Most want to be optimistic that EGVM can be eradicated. However, with each find comes growing concern that the state's grape industry is in a real fight to keep EGVM from becoming established statewide.

[ Susan/NASAChatHost - 3 - 10:59:07
Hello! Andrew is here and ready to take your questions.
[ Andy - 4 - 10:59:43 ]
Hi everyone
[ Andy - 8 - 11:02:55 ]
RE: [Huey] Hi Mr. Hahn. Are there any publicly
available tools for doing some of the design? I am interested in turning
one of my "napkin" ideas into a real design. How long will it take to
design a proof of concept design? I'm not interested in getting it optimized
at this point.
Hi Huey, because of the specific nature of the Marsplane, there aren't
any publicly available tools. Our tool is completely undocumented, so
it would require quite a bit of knowledge and effort to learn how to use,
even if we could give it away, which we can't.
[ Andy - 10 - 11:05:49 ]
RE: [MrThomassstudentBailey] What kind of education
did you have to become a conceptual airplane designer in college? and
Hi MrThomassstudentBailey, I went to high school at Orchard Park Central
in New York. I then got my Bachelor of Science (BS) in Aeronautical Engineering
at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical Univ. at Daytona Beach, FL and my Masters
of Science in Aerospace Engineering at Stanford here in the Silicon Valley.
[ Andy - 16 - 11:09:57 ]
RE: [MrThomassstudentBailey] What career did you
want to pursue when you were younger? Did you always want to work with
That's reall interesting, I haven't really thought about it much. I guess
I always had an interest in vehicles that move. They could be submarines
or speed boats or cars or airplanes. Early on, I started modeling airplanes,
both plastic scale and control line flying models so I guess that's when
I decided I wanted to work on airplanes. I still model airplanes, but
I have also built free sailing model sailboats and have built working
model submarines.
[ Andy - 21 - 11:13:49 ]
RE: [Michelle] Hello Mr. Hahn. What do you consider
the benefits of working for NASA as opposed to a private company and vice
The best part of working for NASA is the freedom to pursue your interests.
While I still have to make sure that I work within my charter and sometimes
work on some things I'm not tooo interested in, for the most part I get
a lot of leeway in choosing what I work on and how to do it. Private companies
on the other hand are much more focussed to deliver a product that someone
has given them a legal contract to fulfill. For some people, that fits
their personality just fine, but it is not really for me.
[ Michelle - 29 - 11:21:13 ]
Thank you for your input. I'd never thought of that aspect of it...
[ Andy - 24 - 11:17:39 ]
RE: [Kenneth] I'm a 5th grader from Rural Hall
School. Our class has some questions. How big is the biggest plane you
have designed?
I tend to design smaller planes. I used to design vertical takeoff supersonic
jet fighters, very high flying remotely piloted vehicles and several Naval
fighters/attack designs. I guess the biggest is one that I am working
on now which is a 150 passenger transport with the engines attached to
the top of the wing.
[ Susan/NASAChatHost - 15 - 11:09:38
Welcome Kenneth! and Rural School 5th Graders!
[ Andy - 27 - 11:19:44 ]
RE: [MrThomassstudentBailey] If not for your friend
do you would be at NASA?
Actually, my coming to NASA was almost accidental. One of my room mates
at Embry-Riddle got a summer job here at Ames and he asked if there was
a position for me too. They did have one and I have been here for almost
19 years.
[ Andy - 31 - 11:21:31 ]
RE: [Michael] What are the most important parts
of the plane?
There really aren't any most important parts to an airplane. Airplanes
are so integrated that if you were to take almost any part off, it would
not fly too well.
[ Susan/NASAChatHost - 18 - 11:11:55
Good morning Michael, is it still morning where you are?

No, it is 2:10 pm here. We are in North Carolina.
[ Andy - 35 - 11:24:33 ]
RE: [Josh] How fast is the fastest plane you designed?
Well, one plane I did the aerodynamics for was actually a re-entry vehicle.
So it had to get up to 25 times the speed of sound to reach orbit. My
part in that design was to look at drag rise near the speed of sound.
It turns out that getting through the sound barrier is as hard as flying
25 times faster and if you can't get through Mach 1, you will not get
to Mach 25.
[ Susan/NASAChatHost - 20 - 11:13:26
Hi Josh! Do you like fast planes?
[ Josh - 32 - 11:21:41 ]
Yes, I like fast planes!
[ Andy - 39 - 11:27:29 ]
RE: [Huey] Do you work more on jet aircraft or
on rotorcraft?
Up untill now, I have worked exclusively with fixed wing aircraft (propeller
and jet). This year, I was asked to look at modifying the V-22 Tiltrotor
with a Variable Diameter Rotor and estimate the performance improvement
we might expect. So, now I do rotorcraft as well (a little)
[ Susan/NASAChatHost - 36 - 11:25:27
Huey, you really seem interested in aircraft design, have you studied
[ Huey - 41 - 11:28:47 ]
Susan: Well, it's a childhood dream. I've taken EE instead am now working
as a software engineer. :) But, I'm thinking of going back to school for
an aero degree.
[ Susan/NASAChatHost - 42 - 11:28:47
Good luck with your dream Huey!
[ Huey - 49 - 11:34:14 ]
Susan: Thanks. I'm going to use my free time learning about aerodynamics
now. It's frustrating to have an idea and not have the knowledge to bring
it to fruition. I'm channeling that energy in a possitive way so I have
little doubt I'll suceed.
[ Andy - 43 - 11:28:54 ]
RE: [MrThomassstudentBailey] If you weren't in
your job now where would you be?
If I weren't in this job, it is hard to say where I'd be. This really
has been my dream job and I haven't been looking around to see what else
might fit me well.
[ Andy - 45 - 11:31:01 ]
RE: [Erica] What is your favorite design?
My favorite design is the Messeschmitt 163 rocket powered airplane. It
is a really interesting airplane that was really advanced for its time,
but also a total failure.
[ Andy - 48 - 11:33:52 ]
RE: [Huey] What are the steps that conceptual designers
go through from that sketch on the napkin to an optimized/production ready
It's funny that you mentioned the napkin. There are still successful designers
that do hand drawn sketches on what ever is nearby, but I don't use paper
much anymore. My branch commissioned a program called Rapid Aircraft Modeler
(RAM) and it is so fast and easy to use that I skip drawings altogether
and build 3 dimensional models first.
[ MrThomassstudentBailey - 50 - 11:37:12 ]
I would like to be a rocket but I am way too short so something to do
with dance
[ Andy - 51 - 11:39:01 ]
RE: [Laura] How long does it take to design a plane?
As long as three years?
designing a real airplane, like a Boeing 777, can take 10 years and many
thousands of designers, engineers, crafts people, and managers. There
really isn't any one man shop left. Airplanes have just gotten too complex
for that. What I do is called Conceptual Design which means that I do
enough calculation to give a customer a good idea of what it will look
like, how it will perform, and how much it should cost. There is a lot
of work that comes later in the Pre-design phase and the detail design
phase and the manufacturing design phase. Usually, I will spend about
6 months on a conceptual design, but that can go as low as 6 weeks, depending
on how accurate the customer wants the answer to be.
[ Susan/NASAChatHost - 38 - 11:27:07
Hi Laura, do you think you would like to design planes?
[ Laura - 52 - 11:39:53 ]
Yes, it sounds like fun! How would I learn how to do this?
[ Susan/NASAChatHost - 53 - 11:39:53
Laura, play with paper airplanes, gliders, study math and science, watch
birds! Then go to college and study engineering!
[ Andy - 56 - 11:41:09 ]
RE: [MrThomassstudentBailey] What does the future
hold in your job?
Unfortunately, airplane design is becoming less in demand as other technologies,
like computers and communications, become more in demand. I think that
there will always be some jobs available but they will become less common.
[ Andy - 57 - 11:42:47 ]
RE: [Brennan] Have you ever designed a plane that
wouldn't fly?
I hope not. While the tools and methods I use are far from perfect, I
would hope that the airplane would at least fly. How well it flew would
be up for debate though.
[ Andy - 59 - 11:46:49 ]
RE: [Huey] Susan: Well, it's a childhood dream.
I've taken EE instead am now working as a software engineer. :) But, I'm
thinking of going back to school for an aero degree.
Huey, I saw your response to Susan, and I have to tell you that we mostly
go the other way. As the need for AeroEngineers diminishes, some move
into the software field because it is part of our job now and the rewards
are higher (pay wise). There is always the possibility of joining the
Experimental Aircraft Association to get your airplane design fix and
not have to change your job.
[ Andy - 66 - 11:53:14 ]
RE: [Michelle] Mr. Hahn, you indicated that you
have received your masters. How important is it to complete graduate work
in the field, and would you recommend doing so before or after attaining
a full-time position?
While a Bachelors gives you the foundation for most of the design problem,
the Masters really takes you up a level of sophistication. It allows you
to attack the really tough problems that sometimes crop up. It is not
necessary, but it is helpful periodically. I got my masters after being
out of school for about 14 years, was married with children, and had a
bad commute. I was also working nearly full time and graduating nearly
killed me. If I had any advice, I would say to go straight through and
stay near campus.
[ Andy - 69 - 11:56:59 ]
RE: [Trent] What is the coolest airplane you have
You know Trent, to me they are all pretty cool. Each one has something
special about it because the mission it needs to fulfill is unique. Some
are fast, some go into space, some fly very high but slow, some have rockets,
some hover....choosing one would be tough.
[ Andy - 72 - 12:00:50 ]
RE: [MrThomassstudentBailey] What could you do
to encourage women to get involved in NASA?
Personally, I have mentored 2 young women as interns. One found out that
this was not for her (which is a good thing to know), but the other did
like this sort of work, went to MIT and got her BS. I would encourage
anyone to try out the career of their interest before committing to the
long and expensive process of getting degrees or credentials. First and
foremost, you should love what you do and the best way to find out is
to try it out.
[ Susan/NASAChatHost
- 61 - 11:47:09 ]
We have a project called the Women of NASA it has chats with women who
work at NASA. http://quest.nasa.gov/womenfont color=#ocoeff>Susan/NASAChatHost

RE: [Huey] The Experimental Aircraft
Association? Where can I find out more about that? Sounds like the perfect
hobby for me.
font color=#ocoeff>Susan/NASAChatHost
[ Huey - 76 - 12:10:07 ]
Susan: Thanks.
[ Susan/NASAChatHost - 77 - 12:10:07
Thanks to you and join us again!
[ Andy - 75 - 12:06:24 ]
RE: [Shaniqua] If I wanted to work for NASA, what
skills would I need?
Hi Shaniqua, the skills you would need depend on what it is you wanted
to do. If you want to be a researcher, obviously math and science are
high up on the list. Also, although you may not believe this based on
my spelling here, communications skills are very important. No one is
so brilliant that they can lock the door and do wonderful things. Most
jobs require collaboration with colleagues. Last, I would say that people
skills are important, especially when dealing with people who may have
focussed on math and science to the exclusion of people skills. Like I
have said in my Journal, managing researchers can be a lot like herding
cats and being able to convince people that it is in their best interest
to play nice is really important.
[ Andy - 78 - 12:10:22 ]
RE: [MrThomassstudentBailey] What programs would
you suggest to kids getting involved in that are interested in design
of airplanes?
My daughter isn't quite 5 yet, but I take her to model airplane meets.
There are clubs all over the country for building and flying all sorts
of model airplanes from big expensive radio control jobs to rubber band
powered free flighters. They are very friendly and at the last meet, a
gentleman gave a rubber band power kit to my daughter and helped us build
it right there.
[ Andy - 79 - 12:12:33 ]
RE: [MrThomassstudentBailey] are you going to encourage
your daughter to pursue the same career as you?
I will let her chose that for herself. She will be exposed to aviation,
of course, but it is not for everyone and I do know that my wife wants
to steer her into any other profession than airplane design. She thinks
that one airplane nut in the house is plenty.
[ Andy - 81 - 12:17:56 ]
RE: [MrThomassstudentBailey] Wait- I'm sorry, but
I have one more question! What do you do in your spare time
Spare time, hmmm....sometimes it seems that I don't have a lot of spare
time. I guess I spend more time with my kids than I used to. That has
meant less time for skiing, SCUBA, motorcycle, computer games, radio control
sailplanes, modeling, etc. that I used to do. Now that I think about it,
I do spend a fair amount of time reading texts about aero, structures,
propulsion, etc. I guess I read these much as most people might read paperbacks.
[ Andy - 82 - 12:22:08 ]
RE: [Jodi] What is your favorite part of this job?
My favorite part of the job is the relative freedom I have in choosing
my assignments. That way, I can stay interested and motivated. Also, the
projects that I get to choose from are far term technology assessments
so I have the luxury of trying some pretty far out and unconventional

Have you ever noticed how everyone else is an expert at your job?
The fewer reliable facts one has to confuse one's thinking, the greater the expertise one is compelled to share on exactly what you should do. This is the system favored by assorted consultants, opinionated relatives and various members of Congress.
Baseball is a good example. Gather a group of guys, a couple dozen hot dogs, six trays of cheesy nachos and some cold drinks, park them in the outfield bleachers, and the guys will evolve into experts at something they've never, ever done - face Major League pitching.
After one batter pops up, one of the helpful experts screams, ''Idiot! Stop choking up on the bat. Even my great-grandmother knows that, and she's home rocking her cat, Mr. Wiggles.''
The next batter whiffs. The same expert - spraying hot dog chunks down the back of the guy in front of him - bellows, ''Moron! Choke up on the bat. Even my great-grandmother knows that, and she's home rolling yarn with her cat, Mr. Fluffy.''
The guy with food bits in his hair whips around and yells, ''Watch the hot dogs.''
''I know. Don't the knuckleheads at the concession stand know anything about grilling. Even my great-grandmother... '' And so on.
My brother-in-law Bill used to say, ''There are two things that everyone else can do better than I can: Raise my kids and spend my money.''
Parenting is chock full of experts - the experts mostly being people who have raised no actual children.
Once, a mom recounted the rough night she had putting her 3-year-old to bed.
''Abby was so hyper. Her grandparents fed her a bag of marshmallows at 8 p.m. At 8:30, she kept popping out of bed like toast. She sang, she danced, she asked why the sky is blue, she fussed about a toothache that morphed into a toe ache, she hid under the covers with a flashlight and crayons...''
One guy - who never had kids - said, "Why didn't you just tell her to go to sleep?'' The other unencumbered adults nodded. ''It's a proven childcare technique. We saw in Reader's Digest.''
Those of us who are parents rolled our eyes. We knew that the phrase ''Go to sleep'' had been repeated roughly 3,472 times with the same effect as screaming at the batter to choke up. Which is what my friend planned to do to the next bag of marshmallows she saw.
I have worked in newspaper offices for about 30 years. In that time, I have received hundreds of helpful expert advice from concerned readers, many that go something like this: ''It's obvious you slept through English, you imbecile, but at least do your job.''
This will be followed by an infliction of their advice, including three things that are unethical, one that is physically impossible and two that are flat-out illegal. Plus, apostrophes and commas fall as randomly as rain throughout the letters.
This used to get on my nerves so badly that I complained to my doctor about it. That goofball, who obviously found his medical degree in a Cracker Jacks box, suggested that I ...
But why should I straighten him out? There are plenty of other experts willing to tackle that job. Right now, the next batter is up and I need to shout instructions. The brainless idgit is choking up on the bat.

High number of features expected to head to Gotham in coming months
|Eligible: Feature-length narrative films and TV films, pilots and series
Max benefits: 10% tax rebate from New York state and 5% from New York City (payable in the subsequent year) on all production costs incurred within New York City (including pre- and post-production)
Available funds: The state and the city have earmarked $25 million and $12.5 million, respectively, for each calendar year. Productions will be rewarded on a first-come, first-served basis.
How to qualify: A production must complete 75% of its stage work at one of nine city-approved facilities — with a minimum spend of $3 million at that facility — or shoot 75% of its location work within the city. If a production fails to meet either additional requirement but shoots 75% of its stage work in the city, it will receive a credit for the expenses incurred at the facility only.
Paperwork: Applications must be submitted at least 180 days in advance of production. For state go to: http://www.nylovesfilm.com; for city: www.nyc.gov
|— Matthew Ross
Set your film in New York, but don't build your set in New York, and shoot as many of your exteriors as possible elsewhere.
For years, those've been the rules for studios and producers looking to hold the bottom line on their features. Recently, however, Gotham has become a production player again, thanks to a pair of new tax incentives that have reeled in some serious business.
The sea change began in August, when the New York Legislature passed a bill giving a 10% tax rebate on below-the-line costs to all productions that shoot at least 75% of their stage work in the state and at an approved facility.
In January, the city of New York followed suit, offering an additional 5%. While only a handful of features are shooting here, signs point to a record-breaking number of mid- to high-budget features heading to the Big Apple in coming months.
Already, a number of pics have shuffled their production plans to take advantage of the rebates. One such film is Steven Shainberg's "Fur," the Diane Arbus biopic starring Nicole Kidman, which will kick off its two-month shoot in May at Steiner Studios.
"Shooting on a stage in New York is so much more expensive than shooting on a stage anywhere else," says "Fur" producer Andrew Fierberg. "Without tax incentives, it makes no sense. This isn't like shooting in the Valley, or Louisiana, or going abroad, where you can really get cheaper labor. But you cannot underestimate the power of New York as a location. The added value is the aesthetic of the city and the fact that there is so much talent based here."
Another production that changed locations as a result of the incentives is "Awake," a thriller directed by Joby Harold and produced by GreeneStreet and Open City Films.
"We brought this movie back from shooting in London because of the tax incentives," says GreeneStreet prexy John Penotti. "This has leveled the playing field with regards to Europe, which has very aggressive tax schemes. I think those other production centers are interesting, but they're not very deep in terms of crew."
Revolution's "Freedomland," which kicked off its eight-week New York shoot in March, is one of the first studio features to take advantage of the incentives. "In the future, Revolution is always going to look to New York first if the film is set here, as opposed to Toronto or L.A., which up to now has so often been the case," says the pic's exec producer and Revolution production head Charles Newirth.
Among other pics lured to Gotham, in part due to the tax credits, are Martin Scorsese's "The Departed" and Patrick Stettner's "The Night Listener."
Recent and current productions include the Lindsay Lohan romantic comedy "Just My Luck," which shot all its stagework in Louisiana in January and February before traveling to Gotham for exteriors, and "The Producers," which started prep work at Steiner Studios in November.
"The incentive didn't exist when we were in pre-production," says "Just My Luck" director Donald Petrie. "When we shot in New Orleans, we had to bring just about all of our equipment in from out of state, which then drove the cost up. Had we had the rebate in New York, and if the cost of shooting here even approached the cost of anywhere else, I bet we would have justified shooting in the city."
By all accounts, the credit for the incentive goes to Steiner Studios, which initiated the process when it hired a lobbyist last year; and to Pat Kaufman and Katherine Oliver, heads of the governor and mayor's film offices, respectively, who managed to broaden the scope of the legislation to ensure that all New York soundstages with at least 7,000 square feet qualify for the rebate.
"When I first started, the complaints were that we were not competitive — it was just cheaper to shoot out of the country," says Oliver. "Now, I think you'd have to agree that that attitude has changed."
The city's branded "Made in N.Y." program also is offering free outdoor media equal to 1% of New York production costs for all film and TV productions shooting 75% of their work in Gotham.
Steiner chair Doug Steiner says the studio expects a lot of activity. "New York used to be the exception, but now it's the rule," he says.
Adds Julianne Hausler, prexy of below-the-line agency New York Office, "At this point last year our clients were just as busy, but the work we were getting for them was in productions shooting all over the world. This year, more of it's in New York."

- Conference date: 14–16 June 2011
- Location: Växjö, Sweden
Quantum probabilities are generated by quantum states. But if neither quantum states nor Born probabilities describe or represent physical reality, then how can we use them to explain what happens? An otherwise puzzling phenomenon is explained when it is seen to be just what one should have expected. In accepting quantum theory one takes it as one's guide in forming beliefs in statements about values of magnitudes (NQMC)s. Quantum theory first licenses one to form degrees of belief only in certain (NQMC)s in a given situation, based on an assessment of the relevant degree of decoherence. A quantum state then advises adoption of specific degrees of belief in appropriately licensed (NQMC)s equal to Born probabilities. Given these beliefs, a corresponding statistical distribution of magnitude values will (almost always) be just what one would have expected. That is how we use quantum theory to explain statistical regularities, whether we know about these through experimental measurements or by observation of natural events. (It is, for example, how we can use quantum theory to explain violation of Bell inequalities without any "spooky" action at a distance).

The Kardashian sisters are staying drama-free in N.Y.C.! Kim, a pregnant Kourtney and Khloé Kardashian stepped out for a family meal at New York's Hurricane Club with their significant others – Kanye West, Scott Disick and Lamar Odom, respectively. And Rob Kardashian didn't miss out on the festivities at the Polynesian-themed eatery, either.
"They all seemed to be in a very relaxed, calm mood," a source says of the large group, which also included Kelly Osbourne. The group shared an array of appetizers (known as "Pupu") and cocktails, including one drink for the group that was served in a watermelon. "It seemed like a nice family dinner to start the week."
According to the source, at various points throughout the evening, they would all get up and pose for their own photos. Kim and Kanye were smiling together, and he doted on her from his seat at the head of the table. Khloé and Lamar, who just announced they were taking a break from their reality show, were more subdued but still seemed to be having a good time together. Says the source: "[They were] sitting close – whispering."

Not knowing anything about coconut oils when I began Primal, it happens that my first jar of the stuff had no flavor. Well, I've just finished my first jar, and opened my second jar. 2nd jar is a different beast altogether. It tastes like coconut! I am not a big fan of the taste, so I was disappointed to say the least. It took me 3 or 4 months to get thru the first jar, and I dread the next four months of dealing with the flavor.
Here is a pic. The jar on the right has the flavor of coconut, the (empty) jar on the left does not have the flavor.
Maybe this will help others.

I popped in THAW today and I went to compete in the AMJAM. Well, I can't do tricks while in a manual anymore. Anyone else have this problem? It sucks because most of my points come from flatland.

its been a while since i've been at that point in the game, but don't you learn how to do flatland tricks after the amjam? i could have sworn your character learns how to do it right before you get into santa monica (which ****SPOILER***** you go to based on what happens when you win the AMJam).

yeah they lock out certain tricks until your character has learned them... it really bothered me too but you'll get by all that crap pretty quick.

Who says Catholics aren't interested in Scripture!
Back on June 26, the Archdiocesan Catechetical Office, the American Bible Society and the Fordham University Graduate School of Religion and Religious Education sponsored the New York Catholic Bible Summit at Fordham's Lincoln Center campus in Manhattan. Our hope was that adults, especially those who provide faith formation in their parishes, would enjoy meeting some of the best Scripture scholars in the country. Well, everyone liked the day so much and we received so many requests for more of the same, that there will be a Second Annual New York Catholic Bible Summit in June 2011.
The Summit continues to provide insights and resources. In his workshop, Dr. John Pilch, Adjunct Assistant Professor of Biblical Literature in the Department of Theology at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C., suggested a wonderful site for reading and reflecting on the passages from Scripture used in the Sunday readings: "The Center for Liturgy at St. Louis University: Sunday Website." It is available in English and Spanish.
Many people profess to have trouble understanding the proclaimed readings and that's a shame. One should not have to bury one's head in a missalette while the Word of God is being spoken. With this St. Louis University site, you can take some time during the week to familiarize yourself with the upcoming Sunday readings.
And there's more to the site, including spirituality resources, music, and in-depth explanations of the readings from renowned Scripture scholars.
Whether you simply come to Mass on Sunday or you have a role (lector, musician, member of the liturgy committee) in the Sunday liturgies in your parish, do visit liturgy.slu.edu
