Data Quality
Noise Analysis
GPS Data Quality
Data completeness is defined both as "Completeness of observations" and "Cycle slips per observation". "Completeness of Obs." is the number of epochs in the final RINEX file normalized to the expected number. This percentage will go down if time is missing from the RINEX file. "Cycle slips per Obs." is the total number of detected cycle slip normalized to the total number of observations in the RINEX file. This number will increase as the receiver loses lock on satellites more frequently.
Previous Year Lifetime
The effects of multipath on the data are estimated by parameters for L1 and L2 (MP1 and MP2 respectively); see Estey and Meertens (GPS Solutions, 1999) for derivation. The daily value is the RMS of MP1 and MP2 throughout the day and for all satellites. Higher values indicate a greater prevalence and/or strength of multipathing, i.e. objects on the ground are providing multiple reflection pathways from the satellite to antenna.

A Public Apology to My DaughterSarah James
I just spent the past two days looking for my car keys. 2 DAYS. 48 HOURS. Barring slumber, school drop-off, and a few mommy-related tasks, I have done nothing but search my house up and down for my damn keys.
I had a sinking suspicion it was Wita's fault from the start. Since the day she started army crawling across our floor, that girl has gotten into everything. Birthing a Godzilla was a new thing for us, as Wito was super tentative around the house as a toddler. I recall friends with small children recoiling in terror the minute they walked into our meticulously decorated living room, with all sorts of gleaming objects just waiting to be shattered into bits. "How do you LIVE like this with your toddler? You must be insane!" Yet our son was way more interested in his toys than our home accessories. (Oh, I now realize our good fortune, TRUST ME.)
Wita? Not so much. When she's not knocking books off shelves or throwing objects down the stairwell, she's picking up objects with the sole purpose of transporting them to places most humans don't frequent.
After conducting our half-ass, preliminary key search (you know, before things get all DEFCON THIS IS NOT FUNNY WHERE ARE MY KEEEEEYS), we surmised that we needed to search through the eyes of a 1-year-old. Thus began my exhaustive search of toy baskets, closet corners, couch cushions, potted plants, and the like. All day, people. ALL DAY. I eventually became so pathetic and desperate, I was combing through the refrigerator and recycling bin.
Guess where I finally found them?
In my coat pocket. I mean, surely searching the produce drawer of my refrigerator was the smart choice, NOT THE INSANELY OBVIOUS COAT POCKET.
(By the way, I did check my coat pocket 25 times. It just happened to be the pocket of the coat I didn't wear on the day I lost my keys. Someone shoot me.)
Dear Wita, I'm sorry. Love, Your Stupid Mother

Are we talking specifically about Mayweather or that style in general? anyway random thoughts:
Floyd has taken the style beyond anyone I've seen because he had that incredible footwork when he was younger. I mean, he was using the shell on the fly basically and that is incredibly difficult to do because one of the weakness in that style is that you have to momentarily become flat footed to use it. Those years when he could use footwork have allowed him to extend into his mid 30's without any significant ring wear on his body.
Others good fighters who also perfected it, James Toney for example, were relatively flat footed. Toney did have footwork himself at one point but it wasn't the fastest out there. They could still make you fight their fight and could beat you at any place in the ring, but sometimes when they met guys with superior foot speed it became a problem. You can hit at angles and gtfo.
I think a pretty good recent example of what I mean when you get superior talent versus a decent fighter who uses the shell would be Zab Judah vs Vernon Paris. There you had someone with extremely fast hands and feet against a decent fighter who basically uses the shell and is an inside fighter like Paris. The weaknesses were obvious and it confirms the first four rounds of Judah vs Mayweather where he did have a little of success based on the basic idea I'm talking about. Roy vs Toney is another classic example. There are inherent risks unless you are Floyd basically. You can sort of see where the liabilities are now that Mayweather legs seem to have dropped off a bit.
Certain types of pressure fighters also can have success, other posters have noted the types of punches that will work and I agree. Has to be smart pressure...takes a lot of discipline and patience to not simply bombard that style with meaningless shots because you are going to get countered with FLUSH shots. Vassily Jirov vs Toney is a great example of the type of smart pressure you can put on that style and have success. It also takes a ton of work to even get inside without getting ****ed up and there is a reason why Castillo and Cotto will be remembered as some of the eras best pressure fighters. They aren't just walking forward and plodding.

Floyd is doing it less these days but he has a tendency to pose and a tendency to hesitate. Cotto made him look foolish on many occasions and highlighted these errors. Castillo did it back in the day.

Floyd always comes in shape. It's funny that two lbs matters when Floyd comes in at 146 instead of 144, but those same two lbs don't matter when Pacquiao Cotto is fought at 145.
Floyd told GBP a week before the fight that he couldn't make 144 comfortably which is why they gave Marquez more money yet Floyd the weasel needed 2 lbs to cheat Marquez. Hilarious!
And Marquez challenged Floyd so stop lying to posters to gain attention.

Strömma musik: Instruktionsguide
Your digital music collection is nothing less than a reflection of you. As you discover and download more songs and artists, your audio library becomes a crucial retreat from the noise of the world. When you're on the go, knowing how to stream music means having the ability to access your music collection wherever life takes you. And having the right computer with sufficient power and memory is just as important. That's why the Intel Product Finder is a useful tool to help you find and compare the newest devices to keep up with your listening, viewing, and creative activities.
Before you stream music, consider whether your music library will be stored on your own PC or with a cloud-based service. This will help you decide on the right computer for your needs. With the new Intel-inspired Ultrabook™, you can have the mobility and power of a laptop combined with the touchscreen versatility of a tablet. Or if an entire entertainment center with super-sleek design, built-in speakers, wireless connection, and webcam is more your style, check out the all-in-one PC with a wall-mountable display. Whether you choose an Ultrabook™ or all-in-one PC, the best part is they both have Intel® Core™ processors with Wi-Fi that will enable you to stream music to enjoy.
How to Stream Music from Home or Anywhere Else
Whether you use your PC or a cloud-based service as your host, it's important to note both options have their pros and cons. And just like your taste in music is a personal choice, so too is which avenue you choose to stream music. What follows are the basic steps for both routes, along with some of the current services available.
Hosting Music From Home
If uploading your music library to a cloud-based service sounds like abandoning a loved one at a bus station, then you'll probably opt for hosting from home. Among the many available services, Orb* stands out for its simplicity of set-up and numerous useful features. You'll be using it to make your PC a remote jukebox, but it can also give you access to all forms of media, including photos, videos, and documents. And best of all, it's free!
Installation steps:
- Download and run the software.
- Set up an account, selecting audio as the type of media you want to access.
- Direct the program to your music folders.
- Use any PC or browser to open the application and select audio.
- Enjoy your streamed music remotely.
Stream Music from the Cloud
Cloud-based streaming service is a competitive business, so the choices are varied. Additionally, most options are easy to use and either free or for a low cost. Most services give you easy-to-follow instructions and offer excellent IT support if you run into any glitches.
- Google Play Music* is super easy, free, and allows you to upload as many as 20,000 songs.
- Amazon Cloud Player* allows you to upload 250 songs for free, but for only $25 a year you get streaming access to 250,000 songs! And it stores all your Amazon MP3 purchases automatically.
- Spotify* is a big international player and boasts over 20 million users. If you can't find the other services mentioned, chances are Spotify will work where you are… or will very shortly.
So, if music is the food of love, stream on! And remember to visit the Intel Product Finder to thoroughly satisfy your appetite for computers with the best abilities for streaming.

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (AP) - Will Counts, whose photograph of a white crowd jeering a black girl captured the drama of the 1957 Little Rock, Ark., desegregation crisis, died of cancer. He was 70.
Counts, who died Saturday, taught photojournalism at Indiana University for 32 years, retiring in 1995. He had lived in Bloomington since 1960. Before turning to teaching, Counts worked as a photographer-editor for the Arkansas Democrat in Little Rock, Ark., and for The Associated Press in Chicago and Indianapolis.
He was nominated for the Pulitzer Prize for photographs he took during the September 1957 desegregation battle at Little Rock's Central High School. Despite a court order, Arkansas Gov. Orval E. Faubus ordered the National Guard in to prevent black students from entering. Faubus' action prompted President Eisenhower to dispatch federal troops to desegregate the school.

GRAND RAPIDS -- Tim Doty of Fox 17 contacted me last week and wanted to know if I would help him out with a segment about New Year's Eve.
Of course, I could not say no to fellow dancer. The two of us danced -- if that's what you want to call it -- earlier this year at the "Dancing For a Cure" fundraiser for the Susan G. Komen For The Cure.
Actually, Tim did a great job, and I managed to get through my routine, twice, without breaking anything. Whew.
Today I am meeting Tim at Mixology at the JW Marriott where we will talk about my Top 5 things to do on New Year's Eve.
We will be joined by JW Marriott GM George Aquino as well as Leslie Sharp from Arthur Murray Grand Rapids. The two of them will talk about the JW's "Global Pachanga" event on New Year's Eve, which made my list.
Tim will be broadcasting live for segments at 6:15 and 6:40 p.m., and we'll be taping a segment to air later at 10 p.m. during Fox 17's newscast.
Tim said I better bring my dancing shoes. Hmmm. I hope he doesn't think I want to dance with him. I'm guessing Leslie will show us how it's done.
Did you want to see great photos from Tim Motley, who covered the event last March for Grand Rapids Social Diary?

A diagnosis of Alz-heimer's disease often is something that effects the whole family. It is difficult for family members to see their elderly loved ones change, and many times, a spouse or child must become caregiver to the Alzheimer's patient.
Dorothy Barto is director at the Alzheimer's Assistance and Referral Network, a nonprofit organization based in Boardman that serves Trumbull, Mahoning, and Columbiana counties in Ohio and Mercer County in Pennsylvania.
"It's a lengthy illness and not the easiest thing," Barto said. "Alzheimer's is not a pleasant diagnosis, but it is not the end of things. There are medications and ways to improve the quality of life for Alzheimer's patients."

Diagnosis is the first step in planning to help the Alzheimer's patient and the caregiver.
"Alzheimer's dementia may start developing in the brain 20 years before you see the first symptom," said Scott Entzi, licensed nursing home administrator at Ivy Woods Manor in North Lima and group facilitator of the Greater East Ohio Chapter of the Alzheimer's Association. "The person will start losing their short term memory, but will still have their long-term memory."
"We advise people who are concerned about their loved one with Alzheimer's to make sure that their family doctor knows what is going on," Barto said. "Patients need a good medical workup and even a second opinion. Sometimes that includes a visit to the neurologist."
Fact Box
Support available
The Alzheimer's Assistance and Referral Network has an Alzheimer's support group at the Girard Public Library at 6 p.m. on the third Tuesday of each month.
The network also has an Alzheimer's support group at 10 a.m. on the first Wednesday of each month at the Children's Rehabilitation Center in Howland.
Know the warning signs
According to the Alzheimer's Association, the 10 warning signs of Alzheimer's are:
Memory loss that disrupts daily life
Challenges in planning or solving problems
Difficulty completing familiar tasks at home, at work or at leisure
Confusion with time or place
Trouble understanding visual images and spatial relationships
New problems with words in speaking or writing
Misplacing things and losing the ability to retrace steps
Decreased or poor judgment
Withdrawal from work or social activities
Changes in mood or personality
Fortunately, there are resources available locally to help families of Alzheimer's patients.
Pam Schullerman, executive director at the Greater East Ohio Chapter of the Alzheimer's Association in Hudson, said that the Alzheimer's Association also has offices in Akron, Canton and Youngstown.
"On every level, Alzheimer's disease is a struggle financially, with nursing home costs, and emotionally, with the idea that your loved one no longer remembers you or your children," Schullerman said. "The hardest part is managing the behavior of the disease and also managing a caregiver. A caregiver might have children, a family and has to work. There are also financial and legal considerations."
Article Links
"Caregivers sometimes have no idea how much paperwork is involved in taking care of a family member with Alzheimer's," Barto said. "The behaviors are so global, that they affect the horizon of a person's life. Sometimes the Alzheimer's patient will hide papers to protect them and because their memory doesn't work, they don't remember where they hid these papers. Even finding marriage licenses or insurance policies for applying for Medicaid can be difficult in these situations. You need to know where these papers are."
Heather Lambert, licensed social worker at Autumn Hills Care Center in Niles, said she sees a lot of Alzheimer's patients at the beginning stages of the disease.
Lambert said that support groups are the perfect solution for families with loved ones experiencing the disease.
"I think support groups are a wonderful network, because you sit down with someone just like you, having the same issues with mom or dad," Lambert said. "It's best to get help for Alzheimer's patients early, before the caregiver finds themselves exhausted. It's best to get support early and often."
Barto said that when going to an Alzheimer's support group, it's best to bring everyone from the family. This helps greatly, because everyone from the caregiver, the patient, close and intermittent relatives are all on the same page.
Lisa Solley, chief of community relations at the Area Agency on Aging 11 in Niles, said that there also are resources available to give respite to caregivers.
"There are a lot of multi-generational family units today, and it's difficult to be a caregiver all 24 hours of the day," Solley said. "Individuals with Alzheimer's might need adult daycare, and this type of care gives families peace of mind."
Adult daycare programs are beneficial for families who have loved ones with Alzheimer's disease. These programs provide caregivers of the family a sense of security that their loved one is being taken care of during the day, while they are at work or running errands.
As people are living longer lives, Alzheimer's may feature more prominently in the landscape of aging America.
"The post-war baby boomers are aging, and they are getting close to the age where Alzheimer's symptoms are appearing," Barto said. "The disease can last 20 years for a healthy person, and if they live longer, there will not be enough people to take of them. That is why Alzheimer's research is important. Alzheimer's is an epidemic, a quiet epidemic that sneaks up on people."

Daylighting is increasingly important in buildings today. The more daylight that enters a room, the less energy is needed by electrical systems. Daylighting also has a positive effect on mood, atmosphere, and productivity.
Glass Block Wall Tubes are an easy and aesthetically pleasing way to let light into a building with multi-wythe walls. The Wall Tubes replace standard masonry units and allow light transmission for LEED contribution.
Glass Block Wall Tubes from Pittsburgh Corning are available in various sizes with your choice of privacy levels. They are thermally broken and thus provide improved thermal performance. In addition, they are easy to install and are self-supporting when installed in a running bond wall. Do not install in stack bond CMU walls unless a lintel is provided.
Wall Tubes are available in 8" and 16" modules in various depths to meet wall thickness requirements.
Glass Block Wall Tubes are perfect for when you want to bring light into commercial buildings without compromising the masonry design. The Glass Block Wall Tube's mirror-like finish magnifies and reflects the light, solving many design issues related to single or double glass block installations in multi-wythe wall construction. It allows the architectural look of single or double glass blocks on both sides of a thick wall, while providing a visually aesthetic look in the hollow area between the glass blocks. The sturdiness of the metal tube prevents any loading from above the opening being transferred to the glass block.
As with single unit glass blocks, installation includes proper sealing between the edges of the wall and the tube on both the exterior and interior walls.
Pittsburgh Corning has a sales and technical support team that is ready to help you design, engineer and specify glass block solutions. Please call 800-871-9918 for assistance.

Formed and based in Mexico City, his first solo show in 2013 at Fifty24MX Gallery journeyed into the decadence and power of breathtaking paintings of warrior-like characters coming alive through textures and colors.August 05, 2015
Marco Kalach's "Óxidos Oníricos" Show in Mexico City
Marco Kalach's Óxidos Oníricos is a take on the matter and the unconscious. Amongst the corroded bronze sculptures of abstract animal forms and amazingly crafted spiked figures, the oil paintings – going from figurative to abstract and jumping to geometrical representations of the city – this world that is trying to escape the artist, seems all at once chaotic and incredibly poetic.July 15, 2015
Mark McCloud'S LSD Art @ FIFTY24SF
Mark McCloud has been creating and collecting LSD art since the 1970s, when tabs of acid first became illustrated. In his collection, the blotter paper is either silkscreened or lithographed. His current show, at Fifty24SF gallery, also exhibits enlarged forensic photographic prints of the artwork.July 01, 2015
The Work of Jesus Benitez
Up until 2014, Jesus Benitez worked under the name of DHEAR, the last we saw of this was in his duo show "La Llegada de Apophis" with fellow Mexican artist Smithe at Fifty24MX in México City. His first solo-show with his new pseudonym, better his actual name, opened last July at Fifty24SF, portraying in his immaculate technique a shift in direction; somewhat rougher yet stylized maintaining his alien like character themed scenarios that we can immediately refer back to him.May 11, 2015
Preview: "Cinco de Mayo" @ Inner State Gallery, Detroit
As part of the celebrations that will take place in Detroit for the Cinco de Mayo, Inner State Gallery in conjunction with Mexico City-based Gallery FIFTY24MX, will present an exhibition with 12 emerging and established artists from both cities. Along with the exhibition, some murals will be painted in Southwest Detroit by Freddy Diaz, Marka 27, Saner and Jesus Benitez will be painted. the last two being a reference of contemporary muralism in Mexico.May 06, 2015

Somewhat big day in the negotiations between the NHL and NHLPA. A federal mediator has been brought in. But don't get to jammed up about it.[ SportingNews ]
"The federal mediator is simply trying to get the collective bargaining process to move more productively," said Daniel E. Lazaroff, a professor at Loyola Law School and director of the Loyola Sports Law Institute. "Of course, if they reach an agreement, there won't be a need for decertification, but it does not preclude that option at all if a mediator cannot facilitate a new collective bargaining agreement. … This is simply part of the collective bargaining process. If it fails, then we get to the legal options—union decertification, unfair labor practice charges, or antitrust suits."
Two interesting tweets last night from two people at different ends of the spectrum.
Some agent said this:
I don't expect much to come from the mediated sessions…however I do expect the CBA to be resolved between December 15th-25th what is so…
— Brian Lawton (@brianlawton9) November 28, 2012
Lawton went on to say he thinks it is more about having a season at this point and there is interest on both sides.
Separately, John Buccigross tweeted this:
NHL player told me NHL team front office person told him, 48 game schedule beginning in Jan. is already outlined #rockoutwithyourNHLockout
— John Buccigross (@Buccigross) November 28, 2012
Does the union threat of decertification threaten that? Probably.
So that is where we are today.
Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin tumblr search of the day
We got bored a few weeks ago, and started searching Malkin and Crosby on tumblr. It is wild.
Saw this when searching Crosby:
What a haircut. Also was Crosby going to school with Harry Potter?
Elsewhere, Malkin and Gonch went hunting:

Oh, How The Mind Forgets…Sarah James
Some things said around our house this week.
"Wito was much easier to deal with around the house as a toddler, wasn't he?"
"He never got into anything, and rarely made big messes. What is WITH Wita and her messes?"
"Why does Wita freak out when we brush her teeth? Wito NEVER did that. He loved brushing his teeth!"
Yes, siblings are very often complete opposites, blah blah blah, but what I'm noticing is that I'M the one with the problem. Folks, it seems I'm not remembering the whole story. (Having a 4-year gap between children can do that.)
Case in point, I just found a post I wrote years ago when Wito was approximately Wita's age, and here are some snippets.
" Wito pounced on the toy basket, throwing every single toy known to man all over the living room. When I asked for help putting toys back, we would toss in a couple for good measure, then scram."
"He just walks around the house with a milk-filled sippy cup hanging from his clenched teeth, leaving a milk trail over three-quarters of the house."
"Brushing teeth isn't so fun anymore. Wito screams so loud the neighbors think he's getting his toenails ripped out."
So, yeah. I have completely romanticized my son's toddlerhood. Apologies to my daughter.
Do you find yourself doing the same thing?

Dear Barbara: Our kitchen looks like a stringy mess! We are carving pumpkins and are removing the seeds. I am going to try to make roasted pumpkin seeds for snacks. I know you bake them in a skillet or bake them in the oven, adding salt before baking. Is that the only thing you can do to them? I was thinking about maybe some spices or something. — Raychel from Lodi
Dear Raychel: You can spice the seeds with anything you like. Make them spicy with a little cayenne, salt and butter. If you like them on the sweet side, Use the same spices you would use in a pumpkin pie. A little fresh rosemary, very finely chopped, with a little garlic salt added is also good. Just be sure not to use too much; rosemary is very pungent. You can also set a variety of spices on the table and let the kids flavor their own. I would suggest you hold back some seeds in case someone goes overboard on the spices and won't eat them. You can help them with a new batch!

I have this love/hate relationship with quotes and sayings all over the place – unless I like them and then, well, it's great of course.
But how bout those super queer emails you get that say something super flowery and time-wasty like and then at the bottom they chain you…. ( this is the real reason it's called a chain email)
"Send this message to 11 friends and something miraculous will happen…….DON'T break this thread!"
UGH. Please. I love that you are my friend … but if you really consider me one of yours and want to stay one of mine – please, do me a favor and DON'T. Just don't. Ever. ESPECIALLY if it has a TOTALLY QUEER aesthetic or graphic with it, like, say, a cudley wudley kitten.
If you send these out… or participate in them… you need to stop it. now.
Then, there are those times when I am
stalking browsing around on facebook and I see a kind of interesting or poignant graphic but it has all these shares and comments so it peaks my curiosity and I hover my mouse over it for a moment and I think to myself:
but it's too late…
so I click on it?
and then I'm all thinking ….
"ooooh, this is .. hmmm… oh, god, that's, oh, this is… so sad…. "
and then I'm all….
*sniff. *sniff *sniff…. sniff sniff sniff (getting closer now) sniff, eyes welling, sniff sniff sniff sniff…. WHHHHAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!
and then I'm a balling sobbing hot mess with snot all down my face and feeling like I got sucker punched by that cute, cudley wudley kitten.
Here it is:
I Wish You Enough:
Recently, I overheard a mother and daughter in their last moments together at the airport as the daughter's departure had been announced. Standing near the security gate, they hugged and the mother said:
"I love you and I wish you enough."
The daughter replied, "Mom, our life together has been more than enough. Your love is all I ever needed. I wish you enough, too, Mom." They kissed and the daughter left.
The mother walked over to the window where I sat. Standing there, I could see she wanted and needed to cry.
I tried not to intrude on her privacy but she welcomed me in by asking, "Did you ever say good-bye to someone knowing it would be forever?" "Yes, I have," I replied. "Forgive me for asking but why is this a forever good-bye?"
"I am old and she lives so far away. I have challenges ahead and the reality is the next trip back will be for my funeral," she said.
When you were saying good-bye, I heard you say, "I wish you enough." May I ask what that means?"
She began to smile. "That's a wish that has been handed down from other generations. My parents used to say it to everyone." She paused a moment and looked up as if trying to remember it in detail and she smiled even more.
"When we said 'I wish you enough' we were wanting the other person to have a life filled with just enough good things to sustain them". Then turning toward me, she shared the following, reciting it from memory,
"I wish you enough sun to keep your attitude bright.
I wish you enough rain to appreciate the sun more.
I wish you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive.
I wish you enough pain so that the smallest joys in life appear much bigger.
I wish you enough gain to satisfy your wanting.
I wish you enough loss to appreciate all that you possess.
I wish you enough hellos to get you through the final good-bye."
She then began to cry and walked away.
They say it takes a minute to find a special person. An hour to appreciate them. A day to love them. And an entire life to forget them. Please Share this with your friends. It has the potential to inspire a lot of people.
GRRRRRRR. *sniff. GRRRRRRR. *sniff, *sniff, *muffled sob…
Go ahead, share it.
I double dog dare you.

Dancing with the Stars is no stranger to controversy.
And the people responsible for inviting eyebrow-raising contestants like Bristol Palin and Kate Gosselin to participate on the show haven't made apologies for their casting choices. This season's most buzzed-about competitor Chaz Bono, 42, is no exception.
"We've always invited a really broad range of people onto the show," the program's executive producer Conrad Green told E! Online. "We've had people from every sort of edge of the political spectrum. We've had people from all types of professions within show business."
Explaining why Bono is particularly "compelling," Green says it is the combination of his "Hollywood royalty" background and "the personal changes [he's undergone] in his life."
"We think he's about as interesting a person to have on the show," Green says, acknowledging that "a bit of a fuss" has been made over inviting a transgender contestant onto the show.
"He's a remarkably strong character," Green says. "I think once the show's underway, people will either root for Chaz because of his dancing or not. I think one of the joys of our show is … you see a different side of people. You see them struggling to try and achieve something positive. You get to know them differently."
"We always try to make it [so] there's someone for everybody on our cast," adds Green. "And people you can discover along the way."

"In an eagle there is all the wisdom of the world."
- Lame Deer, Miniconjou Lakota
Reflecting the elements earth, fire, air and water and the seasons winter, spring, summer and fall, the number four is an essential symbol of Lakota spirituality. It also represents the directions north, south, east and west and the four races: red, black, white and yellow. Another important symbol is the circle, the foundation for the traditional house, the tipi. In the Lakota way, everything is circular in the journey of life and death. Time passes slowly in the full observation of life. Man and nature live in concert with one another, rather than in a struggle for domination.
From the legend of the White Buffalo Calf Woman came the tradition of the seven sacred rites and the smoking of the sacred pipe. The seven rites are the Keeping of the Soul, Sweat Lodge, Vision Quest, Sun Dance, Making Relatives, Puberty Ceremony and Throwing of the Ball. All but the latter have survived among contemporary Lakota people, despite being periodically outlawed by the U.S. government. When the White Buffalo Calf Woman appeared to the people, she told them that in a time of need, they should smoke from the pipe adorned with eagle feathers, and the smoke would carry their prayers upward to the gods.

Social worker Elizabeth Griffin Hall, who was present when Josh Powell blew up his home with his two young sons inside, is now revealing chilling details of their final moments.
When Hall arrived at Powell's home for a supervised visited with Charlie, 7, and Braden, 5, he managed to get the boys inside but immediately shut Hall out.
"He caught my eye, his shoulders were slumped. He had a sheepish look," Hall tells ABC's 20/20 in an interview set to air Friday. "He just shrugged his shoulders and slammed the door."
Hall says that after Powell had his sons alone inside the house, "I heard him say, 'Charlie, I've got a big surprise for you.' ... And then I heard Braden cry out."
According to authorities, Powell used a hatchet on his sons' heads and necks before blowing up the house and killing himself and his sons.
Hall says she called out to Powell – who was a person of interest in the disappearance of his wife Susan Powell and had since lost custody of his sons – to open the door, but became suspicious when she smelled gas.
"I'm saying, 'Let me in, Josh, let me in,' " Hall said. "I realized I didn't have my phone in my hand and I could smell gas. Too much time had passed and I could smell gas."
Though she sensed that something was very wrong, Hall could not get into the house. "I wanted to get to the kids. I would have broken in if I could," she tells 20/20.
Though Hall says Charlie and Braden loved spending time with their father, she now believes that "Josh Powell was really, really evil."
Hall describes her fondness for Powell's sons and shares memories of her time with them. Braden was "a free spirit" who "smiled all the time" and Charlie "was smart and funny," says Hall. "He loved bugs and frogs."
Though the experience was traumatizing to Hall, she won't quit being a social worker, a job she adores.
"God called me to do this," she says. "I am not going to be [Josh Powell's] victim. He's not going to destroy my passion for children. He's not going to stop me from working with children."

Dear Colleagues,
We are proud to host the Termis EU 2014 Congress in Genova, "Zena" in the local ligurian language.
The Conference's goal is to present the latest scientific and clinical innovations in the field of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. There will be sessions focusing on biomaterials and intelligent scaffolds, fetal and adult stem cells, growth factors and other bioactive molecules, activation of developmental and regenerative pathways, cell and innovative therapies covering all tissues and organs, translation of research to the clinic and industry ... and much more!
In 1358 the poet Petrarca wrote about Genova "You'll see a royal city, set against a hill alpine, superb for his men and walls, whose only appearance indicates the lady of the sea".
Genova is still now named the Superb, a city Superb for the beauty of its buildings, marbles, views, architecture and history, the capital of the Liguria Region, a strip of land between the mountains and the sea.
Part of the old town of Genova has been included in the World Heritage List (UNESCO) in 2006.
The colour-splashed Ligurian coast - the Riviera - combines in spectacular scenery and history and reaches its height in Portofino and Cinque Terre, where the sky and mountains plunge into the sea.
We are working to make your visit to Genova an unforgettable experience.
We look forward to meeting you in the Superb!

The Beverly Heritage Center has spent the last several years expanding and striving to bring more visitors to the small town that is full of rich history.
Combining a museum, a Civil War battlefield and several events, the center has become a hub for heritage tourism.
"If we look back 10 years ago, we had one building and were open four or five days a week. We mainly focused on the battlefield (The Rich Mountain Battlefield) - and we've grown to a heritage center with a professional museum that focuses on local heritage as well as the Civil War," said Phyllis Baxter. "This was a very focused growth package."

Beverly Heritage Center Operations Manager Terry Hackney stands next to a sign promoting the center's summer theme, 'Beverly Occupied!' Events throughout the summer will show visitors what life was like during the Civil War in the small historic town.
She said the Beverly Heritage Center is the collection of four historic building that have been combined into one large structure, with an added gallery. The center combines the historic 1900 Beverly Bank building, the 1808 Randolph County Court House, the 1912 Hill building and the 1856 Bushrod Crawford building that was used as a headquarters by Gen. George McClellan during the Civil War.
The center is a six-year, $4 million project that has included the acquisition of buildings, planning, rehabilitation and construction and exhibit development.
"The last part of the building we finished was the Hill Building and the gallery," Baxter said. "We have one more phase of construction and landscaping to finish."
Fact Box
Heritage Center
Hours of operation:?9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Thursday; 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Fridays; 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturdays; and noon to 5 p.m. Sundays.
Admission:?Suggested $5 donation
The center features professional quality exhibits that tell compelling stories that all ages will find interesting.
"Last summer our focus was the 150th anniversary of the Battle of Rich Mountain," she said. "This year we are focusing more on what life was like for the people who lived here during the Civil War."
Baxter said the theme for the summer months will be "Beverly Occupied!" It will focus on telling the story of the people who lived in Beverly during the Civil War. In addition, the center will provide several events throughout the summer to attract visitors.
"We have a number of special event days," she said. "They include concerts and living-history events."
The official launch for the center's tourist season is a lawn party slated for May 19.
"We are inviting local residents to see what we have," she said. "The event will be free and have live entertainment."
Baxter said there will be several other activities at the center throughout the year. Some of the larger events will include Beverly Heritage Days and the Night at the Museum.
"This will be the third year for Night at the Museum," she said. "It features several living-history exhibits."
Baxter said the center has been growing, and the effort will continue to create more activities to keep people coming back to the small Randolph County town.
"The Beverly Heritage center provides an anchor for heritage tourism in the area," she said. "We also operate as a welcome center."

Statistical WVTR Models for Extrusion-Coated Webs in Various Atmospheric Conditions
Lahtinen, Kimmo
Publication type: Doctoral dissertation
Issue date: 2010-05-14
Language: en
Pages: 84
Belongs to: Tampereen teknillinen yliopisto. Julkaisu - Tampere University of Technology. Publication;880
Supervisor: Kuusipalo, Jurkka

Department: Department of Energy and Process Engineering
The target of this study was to establish statistical prediction models for the water vapour transmission rate (WVTR) of extrusion-coated papers and paperboards commonly used in food packaging. The models bring along reliable and easily available information about materials' moisture barrier, estimate packaging costs and optimise food quality at specific packaging applications. Furthermore, the models can help laboratories to reduce the expenditure of the rather time-consuming WVTR testing. Another target of the study was to investigate the fundamentals concerning the influences of thermo-hygrometric conditions on the water vapour barrier properties of extrusion-coated webs. Also, the effect of intensive heat treatments (or processes made at elevated temperatures) on the barrier properties were planned to investigate. The study indicates that experimental data can be used in developing accurate prediction models for WVTR. For non-polar coating polymers, it is possible to establish a comprehensive model that calculates WVTR as a function of the following external factors: temperature, humidity and the multilayer profile of the coating. When the coatings contain a water-sensitive ethylene vinyl alcohol copolymer (EVOH) layer, the WVTR can be predicted indirectly by characterising the resistance effect caused by a non-polar skin layer on EVOH water sorption. In such case, atmospheric conditions were not introduced into the model as variables because of the too complex correlation with WVTR. According to heat treatment experiments, the over-melting-point treatments considerably improved the water vapour and oxygen barrier properties of polyolefin-coated papers, namely low and high density polyethylenes. The improvement was mainly controlled by the crystallisation kinetics in the coating during a slow cooling period. Chemical reactions in polyethylene were also involved with the treatments above 200°C. Concerning polylactide (PLA) coatings, water vapour barrier properties were already improved at lower temperatures. The heat treatments between 100-150°C were able to reorganise the PLA's crystalline and amorphous regions leading to considerably reduced transmission levels.

Five Breakout Hitting Prospects In 2014
1.?Xander Bogaerts?SS, Boston Red Sox
When you look at Bogaerts numbers from the end of 2013 with the Red Sox, you aren?t impressed. He only hit .250 in 18 regular season games last season with just one home run. But if you actually watched him in those games, in the field and at the plate, it?s obvious he?s a star in the making.
Having just turned 21 before the Red Sox started their postseason run, it was to be expected that Bogaerts would be a little gun-shy, expected that the stage could be a little too big for the young prospect. But after just a few games, it was clear Bogaerts wasn?t scared of the environment, who he was facing, or when he was facing them.
He?s a great at bat machine.
Bogaerts posted an impressive .412 OBP in 34 plate appearances in the 2013 postseason, and there?s no reason to think he can?t put up huge numbers at shortstop for the Red Sox with a full slate of at bats if?Stephen Drew?isn?t brought back. At 6?3? 185lbs, Bogaerts has plenty of time to fill out his power stroke, as well.
2.?Jurickson Profar?2B, Texas Rangers
The #1 prospect in baseball a year ago, Profar has fallen victim to lofty expectations and erratic playing time. Valuable because of his ability to play all over the field, it was obvious he never got comfortable in 2013, batting just .234 in 324 plate appearances and playing 2nd, 3rd, SS, and LF for the Texas Rangers. Rushed to the MLB at 19, some are concerned Profar?s development could be ruined.
I?m not there yet. Still just 20-years-old, and now slated to get a full compliment of at bats while locked in at the 2nd base position with?Ian Kinsler?s departure, Profar should get a chance to show off the skills that made him an elite prospect in the first place: His ability to get on base, and his surprising power hitting toward the bottom of the Rangers lineup. He?s not a big kid, but he?s got serious pop. Expect Profar to make that next step in 2014.
3.?Kolten Wong?2B, St. Louis Cardinals
Kind of an old man compared to Bogaerts and Profar, the 23-year-old Wong played sparingly with?Matt Carpenter?and?David Freese?blocking his playing time, but was valuable as a pinch-runner down the stretch and in the postseason, although he?s famously known for getting picked off by?Koji Uehara?to end a World Series game.
In 2014, with Freese gone and Carpenter expected to move back to 3rd base, Wong has 2nd base all to his self in St. Louis. The 2011 first round pick has a low ceiling, but there?s no reason to think he can?t hit .280+ with a bunch of stolen bases while playing great defense for the Cardinals this upcoming season.
4.?George Springer?OF, Houston Astros
Maybe one of the biggest mysteries in the MLB prospect world in 2013, Springer played the entire season without getting a call-up despite shredding AA and AAA pitching all season to the tune of a .408 OBP, 37 HR,and 108 RBI. Springer also stole 45 bases in the minors in 2013, making him one of the games most exciting up-and-coming power-speed combos.
Already drawing comparisons to?Matt Kemp, Springer should have a good chance to start in left for the Astros in 2014 and put up numbers that should satisfy plenty of fantasy baseball owners. With his big swing, he still swings and misses a little too much, but his ability to take walks masks his high strikeout totals. Expect a huge season for the UCONN product if he gets the at bats he deserves in 2014.
5.?Javier Baez?SS, Chicago Cubs
The #1 prospect in the Cubs system, Baez smacked 37 home runs across two levels in the minor leagues last season. Known for his violent swing, Baez hit four home runs in a single game and although he?s likely to outgrow the shortstop position, has shown enough growth there defensively to stay there for at least one more season.
Starlin Castro?blocks him at SS, but it seems the Cubs organization has soured on him recently and 3rd base is wide open in Chicago. Expect Baez to make an impact around mid-season for the Cubs in 2014.

text: About 6km to the southwest of Ko Mook, KO KRADAN is the remotest of the inhabited islands off Trang, and one of the most beautiful, with crystal-clear waters. On this slender triangle of thick jungle, the main beach is a long strand of steeply sloping, powdery sand on the east coast, with fine views of Ko Mook, Ko Libong and the karst-strewn mainland, and an offshore reef to the north with a great variety of hard coral; such beauty, however, has not escaped the attention of the day-trip boats from Ko Lanta, who turn the beach into a lunchtime picnic ground most days in summer. From a short way north of the Anantara beach club, which is located towards the south end of this beach, a path across the island will bring you after about fifteen minutes to Sunset Beach, another lovely stretch of fine, white sand in a cove; a branch off this path at Paradise Lost leads to a beach on the short south coast, which enjoys good reef snorkelling (also about 15min from the Anantara beach club).

Faux Stain Glass in a Patio Door
By: Robin Dominguez
We are adding the craft to your Craft Projects.
The project was added to your Craft Projects.
Click here to view your Craft Projects.
Using inexpensive tissue paper in a variety of colors and a planned pattern, you can create a stained glass look on your patio door. Robin chose a panda pattern because her husband collects them, and the design can be left on year-round versus a seasonal image.
- liquid starch
- craft paint brush
- tissue in your theme choice colors
- a crayon
- scissors
Time: Time is dependent on theme.
- The main figure should go onto the glass first as you wish to see it from the outside. For example, a ear that is closest to you goes on first then the head and the second ear farthest back next .
- The more layers of tissue the darker the pattern .
- Eyes mouth nose these can be placed on the head before going onto glass .
- Using a crayon, map out where you are going to place your patterns on the glass lightly .
- Using your crayon design as a guide, apply liquid starch to the glass in shape of applique.
- Place tissue on area and smooth over with brush.
- Apply more starch to just moisten tissue.
- Continue until you have decorated your design onto the door.
- Allow to dry and it will last as long as it is not moistened again .
- To remove or change, simply moisten the art with paper towels and sloth off and dispose wet tissue into trash. Clean the slate so to speak and change or remove your design.
- Smaller versions could be placed on frame glass and viewed like any other picture.

Last year, after the same problems reported, the equipment was used in the annual party and they worked without any problems. I thought it was a fleeting thing.
This year again, one of them, after a few minutes on, gives a loud speakers noise, like a strong electrical discharge, the red LED lights up and then the amp shuts down by its own.
The problem happens only on amps purchased in 2009. The 2010 amp has no problem. What can this be? Is there anything I can do, like try to remove the front panel from amp from 2010 and placing in the 2009?
There was any modification in the power supply circuit from 2009 to 2010 models?
Do you want that I make a video from the problem for you to take a look? It is intermittent. Sometimes spends hours without showing and then immediately gives a strong noise and turns off.
Our annual party will take place on December 17 and again I am desperate with the equipment.
If you can help me, I'd be very pleased!!
Below, last year forum posted by me:
I really need some help on my XTI-4000 amps.
I have 3 of them, 2 bought in 2009 (1 in 08/2009 serial # 8001675605, 1 in 11/2009 serial # 8001689605) e 1 bought this year (11/2010 serial # 8500331741). The amps is very little used, once in a year in december, for a annual party. This year, I put two amps (both from 2009) to work and, after minutes, one of them start to play a "scratch" noise on left channel. This one is playing with a pair of JBL JRX-115. Note that is occur even with the volume knobs at zero.
Afraid to blow drivers of JRX-115, I put this one to play subs (pair of JRX-118S) and put the another one to play on JRX-115. The noise of first one continue, even now playing on JRX-118S, naturally.
However, yesterday the second one starts same thing, playing same "scratch" noise on left channel. Now I have two amps with same problem on left channel.
I've disconnected the audio cables from in and left the amps with knobs at zero level and the noise continue. Switch from one JRX-115 to another and noise follows the channel.
What might be happening? Why I don't have this on right channel? Any tip to solve this?
I'm afraid that amps stop working at the party, that will be at december, 18. I trust in Crown and I bought these amps because that.
Please, help me!
Thanks a lot!!

Cleaning with Vinegar
12th Sep 12
Vinegar: The Cleaner's Best Friend
People have been using vinegar to clean their houses since time immemorial! It may taste good on your fish and chips; it may add a little bit of panache to a bland dish, but surely its crowning achievement is being the most effective household cleaning product this side of hydrogen peroxide. And it's not only useful in the kitchen.
Vinegar really is the 'every man' cleaning product that manages to avoid both of the flaws that you'll encounter when pottering around the house with your bleaches and sprays. Vinegar is;
a.) Not expensive
b.) Not toxic
You often come across one of these without the other, but there are very few strong products that are safe and cheap. The repertoire of vinegar includes such talents as;
· Sticker Goo
o We've all had the horrible experience of peeling a sticker off and finding an insubordinate residue left behind to haunt our furniture and appliances. Trigger happy children often slap stickers to various parts of the house, and you have to resign yourself to picking them off over a long period of time. Vinegar puts an end to that debacle in an instant. Well, in ten minutes really; vinegar sprayed onto the offending area and left for ten minutes will eat into the glue and make it incredibly easy to wipe off.
· Microwave Ovens
o The insides of our microwaves are often an embarrassing reminder of how messy and lazy we can be. It comes down to the awkwardness of being able to clean the inside walls of a microwave, and we often just abandon it to the popping of beans and spaghetti. If you combine ¼ pint of vinegar with ½ of water into a bowl, and then microwave the concoction until it boils, you'd be surprised at the results. Firstly, the stale smell of food will be eradicated by the acidic vapour of the vinegar. Secondly, the same vapour will permeate those spaghetti caked walls and make scraping off that food a huge amount easier. Now you have no excuse!
· Mould, Mildew and Miscreants
o Expanding upon the acidity of vinegar; as a general rule you can assume that most animals don't like the smell. This means you can prevent cats from scratching your furniture by spraying it on, stop dogs from climbing up onto your sofa when you're not around and even deter ants from sneaking into your home. The theory carries over into the smaller world of mould and mildew, bacteria can't stand vinegar and it's a good, effective way to kill any colonies. This means that a mixture of vinegar and water will make a great weapon to scrub away all of that bathroom build-up, but it also makes the perfect surface cleanser in the kitchen. Wiping baby's cutlery, bibs and trays with vinegar is the perfect way to ensure that you're using a safe chemical and keeping them clean.
· Windows, Mirrors and Glass
o There are a lot of expensive glass cleaners that you can buy today, with flash names and shiny bottles; but what's wrong with vinegar? Mixing equal parts of the wonder condiment with water will make a great cleaning agent for glass. A trick that you might hear your grandparents use is to combine the vinegar cleaning with newspaper; it makes a great alternative to materials which can leave smear marks on glass.
The list for the uses of vinegar goes far beyond what we've covered here. You can find out a comprehensive list of its uses by visiting the experts of distilled vinegar. One thing we didn't cover was theeffect that vinegar has on spilled coffee. Do you want to take a guess?
That's right; it makes coffee stains run away like little girls!

An Evening with Jesse Ragan, Typeface Designer
Jesse Ragan
Jesse has been designing letterforms for as long as he can remember, dating back to his childhood in North Carolina. He learned from the best how to make them into typefaces: as a student at Rhode Island School of Design, as an intern at Font Bureau, and as a full-time designer at Hoefler & Frere-Jones.
Since 2005, Jesse has worked independently in Brooklyn, developing typefaces and lettering for clients including Pentagram and House Industries. Among his many design credits are collaborative contributions to Gotham, Archer, and Omnes.
On this evening renowned typeface designer Jesse Ragan will reveal
the fundamental principles of his process, which he teaches at Type @Cooper, the postgraduate certificate program he co-founded in 2010. Examples from his work will include custom typefaces and lettering for The New York Public Library, The Museum for African Art, and St. Bartholomew's Church.

Three "must-haves" when hiring people or partners
Look for three things in the people you hire—whether you're adding staff or selecting your agency partners.
Choose your words carefully
In copywriting, as in Scrabble, some words are worth more than others. Whether you're writing an email, banner ad, print ad, letter, postcard, art card, radio spot, brochure or tweet, the words you choose can make all the difference.
Tactics to ensure your direct mail is opened
As direct marketers, we've been warned. Much research has shown we have three seconds to convince our target to open our mailing. If we don't hook people then, we've lost them.
Using behavioral science to drive action
So here's a question for you. You walk into the restroom. You are alone. There are three empty stalls. Which stall do you enter?
What do I need to know to land an account director gig at a direct marketing agency?
In today's competitive market, experience, tactical expertise, education and a mantel-full of industry awards may not be enough to land you a job, let alone your dream job. In fact, they may only be enough to get you a "thanks for your time." To stand apart, you'll need more.

Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Gem materials have been appreciated since antiquity. Nowadays, gemology, i.e., the study of gem materials, is one of the most expanding fields in earth science. This is mainly due to new developments towards a more systematic gem mining, the new sophisticated (thus more difficult to detect) gem treatments applied to improve the appearance of gem materials, and the issues involved in identification of some synthetic gem materials. Moreover, recent statistics have shown that every year worldwide more than 10 billion euros are invested in the trade of diamonds and an additional 5 billion euros in the trade of other precious stones and materials. The purpose of this special issue is to publish reviews as well as recent advances on gemology. Articles that cover the spectroscopy, chemistry as well as formation and treatment of gem materials are welcome.

are accused of distributing counterfeit operating systems and accompanying
software by using hard-disk loading (selling a customer or business a computer
with pre-installed, unlicensed software).
Microsoft also announced the results of its forensic
analysis of counterfeit copies of Windows XP from 17 different countries. Not
surprisingly, the discs studied either didn't install or were loaded with
additional content not officially sanctioned by Microsoft. According to
Of the 348 disks studied:Thirty-four percent of the counterfeit copies Forty-three percent had additional programs, or binary code, that are not part of genuine Microsoft Windows.Of the remaining 228 disks:Sixty-six percent had additional programs, or binary code, that are not part of genuine Microsoft Windows.More than 40 percent of these added software programs or binaries had faults, and many included illegally created product keys, other tampered code, or code invisible to the user.

Of the remaining 228 disks:
Microsoft has fought long and hard over the years against
software piracy. The company ruffled a few feathers in the industry when it
introduced a new activation scheme with its Windows XP operating system in
2001. Over the years, Microsoft has added additional features to combat piracy
or let customers know if they have become a victim of counterfeiting. The
Windows Genuine Advantage Program came under fire in June after it was found
out that it was "phoning
home" to Microsoft. Despite Microsoft's scramble to release an
updated version of the software, two lawsuits followed
after the initial discovery.

If there was any doubt in your mind that there is something wrong with the message coming out of the Republican Party, you need not look any further than Rep. Steve King of Iowa. King actually supports animal torture.
With some of the most bizarre reasoning ever babbled by a politician, Steve King came out in support of dog fighting, and just about all animal torture and cruelty. King claims that if people can legally fight then there's nothing wrong with animals legally fighting.
For King, that includes dog fighting, where animals are badly mangled and killed after being forced into competition by their humans, and cock fighting, where roosters suffer the same fate as the dogs, but perhaps with a bit less visible blood.
King said, "When the legislation that passed in the farm bill that says that it's a federal crime to watch animals fight or to induce someone else to watch an animal fight, but it's not a federal crime to induce somebody to watch people fighting, there's something wrong with the priorities of people that think like that," according to Think Progress.
However most civilized humans agree, people have a choice in a career like boxing, and they are paid for it. Animals on the other hand, are forced to surrender their lives in fighting pits against their will. And all they get for it is pain, suffering, and death.
Perhaps there is "something wrong" with King.
Anyone who thinks that watching animals fight, bleed, suffer, and die is someting that will somehow benefit America, needs a mental evaluation, not power in public office.
What ever happend to just taking kids to see a Disney movie?
Guys like King give the entire Republican Party a bad image by making crazy seem acceptable when it is not.
Perhaps King should be reminded that most serial killers start their careers by torturing animals. Does he think America needs more of them, too?
