LumensThe amount of light that comes from a bulb, which has commonly been measured in watts. The more lumens, the brighter the bulb.
WattageA measurement of the power delivered to a component of an electric circuit (allowing a one-ampere current to flow through the component under the pressure of 1 volt.)
Bulb ShapeBulb shapes are denoted with a letter, which describes the shape, and a number, which indicates the size. The number indicates the diameter of the light bulb at its widest part in eighths of an inch.
BaseThe part of the bulb that connects to the fixture and its power supply. Bulb bases are denoted with the letter E, and a number which indicates the diameter of the bulb base at its widest part in millimeters.
VoltageIndicates how much voltage a bulb can accept via the fixture it's installed in.
Light Color TemperatureThe relative color from a light source, measured on the Kelvin temperature scale. Warm light is lower in color temperature (2700-3000 K) and cool, blue light is higher (5000 K).
Average Rated LifeThe average amount time that a bulb is expected to last.
CRICRI = color rendering index. This number, which can go from 0 to 100, measures the ability of a light or bulb accurately renders colors. The higher the number, the better, with most quality bulbs these days measuring at least in the 80s.

...and that, according to his thread title, Holmstrom sucks. My point is Holmstrom at 37 points is 100,000,000 times better than Hudler, at any point in his career.... Hudler will never be anywhere near the player Holmstrom was/is/will be.
The title was sarcasm of course. I do agree that Holmström is more useful player. Eva's comparison was based on numbers and numbers only and that's fine because numbers are concrete unlike for example defensive awareness. I think that there are better third liners in the league than Hudler, but he's fine. It would be nice if no-one attacked eva for defending him. Eva seems to be a bit number-crazy, but there have been wackier people here. Hudler's become too much of a scapegoat here and eva brings nice colour to the conversation.

Loss of innocents must change gun laws in US
- From: The Daily Telegraph
- December 17, 2012
THROUGHOUT history there have been defining events that have changed the character of a nation and challenged the prevailing mindset of a society. The mass shooting of 20 children aged between five and 10 along with a number of their teachers at a school in Sandy Hook, Connecticut must be such a moment for the US.
While the nation grapples with the loss of this senseless tragedy, lawmakers must also confront the need for greater gun control.
Australia's experience after the massacre of 35 people by a lone gunman at Port Arthur in April 1996 stands as a guide.
The event had a profound impact on the country and the newly elected federal government led by John Howard responded with sweeping laws embodied in a National Firearms Agreement.
The scheme effectively banned most people from owning automatic or semi-automatic weapons and included a national gun buyback scheme that saw more than 700,000 weapons surrendered and destroyed.
Strict laws on the licensing, registration and storage of guns were also implemented.
Gun reform had previously been regarded as too difficult in Australia despite 13 mass shootings (of four or more people) during the previous 20 years.
The gun buyback scheme was controversial and there was some heated opposition to the proposed laws but the events at Port Arthur had so shocked the nation that the Howard government was able to act swiftly to reform existing laws.
Many in the community made a personal commitment to changing societal attitudes by removing all guns from their homes.
Although some illegal firearms have remained in the community, there is evidence that the National Firearm Agreement has saved lives. Most compelling is the fact there has not been one mass shooting in Australia since 1996.
The Australian Institute of Criminology reports that there were an average of 550 gun-related deaths per year from 1991 to 1996 with about 80 per cent of those deaths from suicide.
In the four years following the new gun laws there was an average of just over 350 gun-related deaths per year, again with the majority from suicide.
The people of the US must decide whether the Connecticut killings are the catalyst for finally confronting and changing a culture of gun-related violence.
The Washington Post reports this is the 13th mass shooting in the US this year, including 12 people killed at a Colorado theatre in July.
This will not be an easy debate for the American people as there are deeply historical, cultural and political layers of complexity. A hurdle to gun control is the Second Amendment to the US Constitution, adopted in 1791:
"A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a
free state, the right of the people
to keep and bear arms shall
not be infringed."
The right to bear arms as enshrined in the Constitution has been considered largely insurmountable in terms of gun reform. This is a false argument.
It is inconceivable that anyone could argue that those framing the Second Amendment in 1791 could have foreseen the indiscriminate murder by military assault weapons of six- and seven-year-old children at school.
While it is simplistic to suggest a direct link between the Connecticut shootings and the Second Amendment, the right to bear arms should be put in the context of 21st century reality.
Urgent action is needed to control access to military assault weapons and other semi-automatic firearms that are being used to such devastating effect in community settings.
About 10,000 people are murdered each year in the US through the use of a gun, with an average of about 17,000 people using a gun to commit suicide.
More than 50,000 people are shot and injured each year by deliberate action, with more than 20,000 accidentally shot.
It is time the US confronted the culture of acceptance of gun violence. If the indescribable horror of the shooting of 20 children is not enough to precipitate a national rejection of gun violence, what greater horror can the American people be forced to endure before they collectively take preventative action?

Oh goodness – it's 9 AM, it's FREEZING in here because we left the windows open and Dustin gets the day off but I definitely don't.
Sometimes I really wished I worked a 9 to 5. It's be nice to know exactly what my schedule is, that I'll be getting the holidays off and maybe even paid time off. Plus my job isn't easy – I come home sore and tired and sometimes SO MAD because of something that happened.
However, sometimes I love my job. The times goes by fast because I'm a) working with someone i like b) it's crazy busy or c) a mix of the two. Last night, for example, was a good night. I worked with one of my favorite people. Sometimes closing shifts are rough because you're working with someone that doesn't care or doesn't know h ow to get the job done. So when you're working with someone that DOES know the shift is that much smoother. Plus it was slow so we spent a lot of time joking around. PLUS my boss was there doing inventory AND she did my review AND I got a raise! Go me! I know, I rock.
Today, Memorial Day, I get to work. See – one of the reasons an office job would be kind of nice. We do close an hour early but sometimes that isn't a blessing. However, I get to work with another favorite person who has been away at school all year so that'll be cool.
Anyway… off to spend time with Dustin before it's work time. More soon!

National Insurance Scheme
National Insurance Scheme
The Cabinet discussed on 6 December 1945 the National Insurance Scheme. There was disagreement on the payment of continuous unemployment benefit without a time limit, the payment of old age pensions to single pensioners, the payment of old-age pensions to persons who had not retired and the cost of the scheme.
The following extracts give a flavour of what was said in Cabinet:
Party & T.U.C. accepted Bev. principles. Follows they shd now be
related to current c/living figure.
Future: automatic adjustmt. wd. brk. down: prefer therefore
review after 5 yrs.
Formidable financial burden. Can´t advise Cabinet to accept this plan
as it stands. Cost: see p.1. of my memo. Increased Exch. cost
£10 m. p. decade. Contributors´ share remains constant. Rises
even after 20 years.
a)Can´t therefore justify higher rate of o.a.p. for single person:
accept rate for couple.
Original 20/= & 35/=. I agreed 20/= & 40/=. S.S. Cttee. have
now gone further. People aren´t really expectg. 26/=. Wd.
accept 21/= and 42/=. Diffce initially £27 m. + £3/4 m.
permanently out of £10 m. increase.
b)Unwilling to abandon Lab. Party policy tht. pensions shd. be
retirement pension. Incentive to postpone retirement. Agree
½ a wk. not enough: wd. be ready to go up to 2/6 and 5/= a
week extra for each year for wh. retirement is p´poned.
c)Unlimited duration of u. benefit. Can´t agree unless real
assurance tht. malingering can be prevented. Don´t suggest
training as a check: cdn´t change of job or residence be
General. Approachg. period of numerous claims. Must counsel
caution. Can´t deal with this on basis of mere generosity.
Realistic finance.
On c) above. J.G. believes existg. safeguards to check malingering.
M/L. didn´t fully agree.
a) above. Doubtful wtr. 26/= cd. be accepted.
b) above. Now favour, on reflection, inducement of 2/6 and 5/=.
On c). Greatly concerned. After last war much improper claiming on
Fund. Feel somethg. stronger than last time. Refusal of work not
training. T.U. pressure: but all T.U. schemes have limited
Under full emplt. we shd. be able to offer some job. Wd. like
therefore unlimited duration. Job in other area - & allowances.
On balance - against unlimited duration.
On b) - support retirement pensions. People shd. not have pensions
stop work.
On c) - u. benefit must be hedged round with condns. Unwilling tht.
u. benefit shd. be payable to anyone unwilling to accept work
on proper T.U. condns.
With remainder of H.D.´s case I disagree. Ours is expansionist policy -
liberal resources in cash & in kind. H.D. seems to assume
encroachg. on Exch. involves burdens on nation: but not for
transfer, wh. this is.
To extent you promote full emplt. policy you reduce cost to Exch. -
tho´ they go on paying contns. Must decide wtr. you have
courage of this conviction. If you´re not sure of this policy you
must pay higher rates, for if u. longer pay shd. be more. Same
with effect of N.H. Service.
On a) don´t ask single o.a.p. to live on 21/=. Coal at 4/2 p.cwt.
a) - 21/= is 15/9. at ´39 values.
b) wd. enable them to raise the amount. Support that. Also (c).
But want 26/= for single o.a.p.
c) might be real economy. Cd. hold 30 wks. if work available.
Workers will support efforts to keep slackers off Fund. But
breaks down in period of long unemployment. Then if
duration limited, State must provide public works. "Unlimited
benefit" bad phrase: put it on basis of "benefit or work".
Decide: pensions not except on retirement. Any other decision wd.
give rise to v. gt. trouble.
This is ques. of best method of inducg. old people to stay on working.
8.000 o.a.p. already working. } P.M
400.000 vol. contributors - will have to be paid at 65 by contract}
Those drawing - don´t stop. Others, however, only on retirement.
Best way of keeping o.a.p. age groups at work. My concln was -
divided pension wd. be best. If Cab. prefer the other
inducements, I will accept - at 2/6 and 5/=. It is a balance
on considns.
Is H.D.´s offer of 2/6 condl on 21/= vice 26/= for single rate.
Believe 2/6 wd. be too high if 26/= adopted.
They are linked.
Agreed: o.a.p. on retirement, and financial inducements
to continue work after retirement age.
The o.a.p. rate for single person.
We cd. say 26/= is same as other single benefit rates. Don´t have to
defend special rate for o.a.p. If put fwd. as separate rate, it will
be forced up.
Supported 26/=. Diff to defend 21/=. Supplemn: diffy. is 1/3rd. are
getting it.
It is not improper tht. people shd. get more in case of real need.
Neither 21/= nor 26/= cd. be defended as enough where no resources.
It may be too much in too many cases.
General - this Rpt. seems to be based on doing better than Coalition,
not on merits. This £10 m. p.a. will preclude help in future years
to the active section of community - in education etc.
21/= can be raised to 26/= by staying on in work for 2 years.
Men will pay for pensions. Mistake to put increased cost of this on
Exch. Average paymt. 7/= p. wk. for benefits to be covered by
whole scheme. This is largely diversion.
When we accepted Bev. figures, we reserved our posn re c/living. We
never took the figures w´out saying actual rates wd. have to be
fixed when Bill intd.
O.a.p. Take 2/= p. wk. p. year. Wd. prefer 1/= for every 6 months.
H.D. Agreed. But diff. between 21/= and 26/= is not increase of
p. power. If you were going to take 20/= on Bev. figures, 26/-
buys no more now. It means 6 more tokens to buy what they wd.
have bought in 1938 for 20/=. But let a bigger propn of addl.
5/= be carried by contributors - less Ty. savings on supplementn.
My troubles are in future - it mounts. Old people increase as contrib.
remain constant. Wd. you agree tht. State shd. pay less & same
no./contrib. more?
"Continuous" not unlimited. Doesn´t last after refusal of job.
Nothg. yet devised wh. caught the shirker. They penalise the
innocent. Believe enough safeguards already in Act. Stopping
benefit doesn´t solve it. They all come back to "genuinely
seeking work". That test won´t work. Lab. Party view -
only real test = offer of job.
I reported to Coaln Govt. on this. This Fund is not answer to
unemplt. That is why I commended a limit. The cost after
30 wks. shd. not come on the contrib. I wasn´t concerned with
dodges at all. State shd. carry this cost. He contributes only to
cost of mtg. normal unemployment.
Taken from C.M. 60(45) - Meeting held on 6 December 1945.
The Cabinet again discussed the problems concerning the National Insurance Scheme on 13 December 1945 and the following extracts reflect the Cabinet´s discussion:
Supported J.G. What point in ceasing benefit after 30 wks. if State
has failed to find work or training before then. State is obliged
to maintain: ques. only by what means, benefit or assistance.
What of married women?
Shd. deal with special cases specially, not by general rule. M. women
case always raises diffy: but if no job can be offered locally she
shd. be treated as havg. fallen out of insurable class and treated
as such by Regn.
What of seasonal workers - worst case if any. H´to worked 16 wks.
& drew benefit for remainder. If you try to define by Regn
you´ll be driven back to Anomalies Act methods.
Continuous benefit wdn´t cost State more.
Strongest argument against = take them off the Fund.
But cd. be so administered tht. it was tighter on shirker than
Recogn. m. women = crucial diffy. Meet it by makg. marriage a
break unless in industry where she wd. normally go on working.
Point if diff. - Many women now workg. who wdn´t normally work.
Can´t see how Regn proposed by A.B. is diff. fr. "gen. seekg.
Diff. = onus of proof. Exchange must offer work.
Is it just to put on contns the cost of abnormal unemployment? That is
the issue. Insurance: shd. be definite contractual basis. Any
discretionary adminn shd. be outside Fund & outside Labour
Exchange. If abnormal unemplt. occurs, remedy shd. not be on
insurance. Pay the same, if you like, but not out of Fund.
x/ Arguable that assistance payable to unemployed shd. not be
the same as that designed for o.a.p.
State and not the Fund must bear the responsibility if abnormal
unemplt. occurs. On E.W. argument we don´t want to
encourage a marriage break. Policy of maternity grants etc., is to
encourage them to go on in emplt.
Remedy is in x/: look into that.
Recalled experience of 1931 - degeneracy of U.I. Fund - strongly
supported E.B. After 30 wks. new situation arises. Govt. must
be forced to look at econ. situation, generally locally & by
Must retain 30 wks. - both for E.B.´s reason: also for financial
reason that some, when situation reviewed, will cease to draw
fr. any sources. We can´t balance our Budget etc., unless
unemplt. for more than 30 wks. is cut to minimum.
Consider this - after 30 wks. State to pay, but at insurance rate,
subject to needs test. Genuine workman wd. have no diffy. in
provg. need. But m. woman wdn´t get away with it. Not pers.
"need": but ques. whether they are in the employment field.
A.B. harking back to conditions of depressed areas betwn. the wars.
Problem now is rather the individual cases such as M. women
who are not genuinely in the emplt. market.
If full emplt. is our policy - long before 30 weeks State must take
positive action.
But need shdn´t be introduced after the 30 wks. - only tests re
willingness to take work or training.
Those tests must be considered separately - as tests for unemployed
class w´in the assistance field.
This fight on u. benefit & assistance betwn. the wars has caused
national indiscipline in this sphere. - cheating the Fund instead of
pride in not claiming.
Let us agree that liability of Insurance Fund shall be limited to 30 wks.
y/ That is all we need decide for Bill. Condns of payment after
30 wks. can be considered subsequently & separately.
More diff. than m. women = men between 50/65 who can´t go on
working and can´t be moved. Agree Fund shdn´t maintain them.
By alteration of assistance rules in 1941/2 I added 30-40 m. State
pensioners not really un-employed at all.
Some heavy industries - special scheme w´out age limit. It is
invalidity not old age. Can´t define an age - e.g. in coal or steel.
Two separate problems a) m. women. Ques. there
is wtr. they satisfy the first condition -
available for work. Agree on that with W. Paper.
Not a 30 wks. problem. Arises in 1st week. Not merely
m. women only.
b) People who can´t be placed w´in 30 wks. Agree State not
Fund shd. carry it. Ques: how shall it be discharged. I must
answer that in H/C. on this Bill. Only answer I can give now is
Assistance. And remember test of need is in the Act & can´t
be changed by Reqn. Sending them to Assistce Bd. will revive
v. bitter controversy
Why not give pledge to consider form in wh. State´s oblign shall be
z/ discharged. Separate legn. We aren´t tied to existing law.
Assurance in genl. terms.
Don´t say anything to commit this Govt. to abolish test of need -
Agreed as at y and z. Statement at z to come to Cabinet.
Pensions. Agree to 26/=. But no giving way to pressure for increases.
Say nothg. at this state re special schemes for particular industries.
Don´t want any reference to possibility of Exchequer assistance.
But there are existg. schemes - will have to be adjusted. These are
prized. Cd. J.G. say we wd. welcome or encourage specl.
schemes - wd. be willing to allow State scheme machinery to
be used in proper cases.
No objn qua existg. schemes. Don´t want talk about new schemes.
Need to keep people longer in industry.
Diffy. - existg. pension schemes in mines. Can´t leave it with them.
For they are bound to extend. Want it said we wd. look with
favour not only existg. but on further schemes so long as don´t
involve addl. charge on Exch.
Inducements. Alarmed at magnitude. Owing to ….. greater longevity.

Summer, Southeast Alaska
by Dominic Nieri
About the Book
Hello my name is Dominic Nieri, I am a commercial fisherman & fine arts student of Oregon State University. "Neverland" is a collection of photographs from my adventures as a first hand view of the commercial fishing industry, landscape & wildlife of Southeast Alaska. In the years past I have played chicken with bears, been dog piled by sea lions, poked bald eagles and caught several million pounds of salmon. That energy has been focused and organized into this beautiful 148 page book. I hope you enjoy as you view the secrets of the region unfold.

It depends greatly on what they do with him in the series, but personally I think the characters' design is ingenious. It's not just the fact he's a hefty guy, I think even his overall design illustrates the point of the character really well. Everything about this character seems designed to attract attack...even amongst quite a few of us in the audience. He's round. He design wise doesn't fit in(I don't think he's like...ugly though. Kinda harsh. lol He seems designed to be more "cute", although it does definitely clash regardless) He's not a character designed for escapism (from the audience anyways), to self-insert into or be larger than life with. He can't even be written off as comedy relief, which is what usually happens with characters like this. You HAVE to deal with the bs he puts up with, and you either sympathize off the bat or you hate the character...but even he hates himself. At least in the beginning.
He's a kid who's been kicked around and dismissed hard just because of who he is, which has in turn made his personality the way it is which just in turn makes it worse; and while the design does kind of stand out sometimes...looking at it from a more metaphorical point of view it's very fitting. Based off of what I've seen of the manga and light novel even a little further ahead, I think a major theme of the story isn't just transcending your limits...it's also about surfaces. In the accelerated world, the surfaces people have in the real world don't matter as much which is where a lot of the dichotomy of the story's premise comes from. If you guys stick with the story, you're gonna find that a sort of running theme is that Haru wears his uglier traits more out in the open...but he's got a good heart, whereas many of the "prettier" characters who seem genuine, cool, or well intentioned are usually hiding something a little uglier. So love it or hate it, personally I think he's very much made for this story.
I think the fact his avatar is a pig is fitting too, even if it wasn't his original one; not because of the superficial reason but because in the Chinese Zodiac, a lot about the pig fits this characters' whole concept extremely well. Especially how pigs deal with pain and betrayal.

MAL's topics are funny! A main chara is fat AND small!!!! Oh chocking!
Seriously, no one (almost?) complain when:
- a 30+ years old woman (or even an highschool girl) looks like 10 years old
- an elementary school girls or loli have D+ cup
- a skinny girl have E+ cup! sometimes we don't know how she can even stand right with so big and heavy boobs!!
It's because all those are common.
30+ year old but looks like 10 what. Damn I must have missed it, someone direct me to the anime where this happened.
Also, why is this conversation still going? The question seems to have been answered.
Not sure if they're pass 30 yet but they're definitely in the 20's or up.
-Hitomi Hitoyoshi (Can't really tell her based on the picture on MAL. Here's the scene in the manga <- Don't click if your watching the anime and don't want spoilers)
-Komoe Tsukuyomi (Her age isn't stated she's indeed 'old' but just read the summary. You find her smoking and drinking in the show.)
-God from Maria Holic might work too. Lol
I'm sure there are more 'old' loli's but I'm not gonna go through.

What I dislike about such are the people pretending to be intelligent without even realizing what bullying does to you both physically and mentally. If you haven't experienced it (bullying) then you are no expert; taking your crap with a giant heap of salt.
People even killed themselves because of bullying so it isn't a laughing matter as well. Speaking of which, I'm surprised that he didn't kill himself because of such. Guess he is mentally stronger than he seems, all thanks to a helping hand and his trusty little game.
Excuse me that I can't find sympathy for this unfortunate soul. Oh woe is Haru. With his pretty child hood friend who throws herself at him and makes him food on a daily basis. He's so alone.
And his weight in itself is hilarious when you think about the time he devotes to digital squash.

Not surprising that this thread ends up with many people with "I'm holier than thou" attitude. These people rarely try to understand his mind and just forces their own minds as a solution.
"He could just tell his friends"
Refer back to episode 1, He doesn't want to involve any of his precious friends against someone like Araya, who uses Illegal programs.

I assume it's because they think that by making the MC fat it tries to panders too obviously to the fat otaku. I thought this too, at first. Now I can see that they make excellent use of it and the MC's particular insecurities vs strengths would have made far less sense on an attractive protagonist. He's one of the best written characters this season.
And, to be very honest, he'd look worse as a skinny guy with his height, lol.
And to the asshats like Spacebar, nobody who is fat is asking for empathy/sympathy, just to shut up already about it and to act civil to strangers.
Best written characters ? You got to be kidding me . >=0
Whatever man,. Oh and yeah , sorry about that part ''nobody who is fat is asking for empathy/sympathy'' , that's my mistake .Seriously
And i think you sentence should be ''just shut up already and act civil to strangers '' instead of ''just to shut up already and to act civil to strangers''
Just saying lol . :)
@Anime_name Umm dude, 30 minutes a day is a very small amount of time . ''Not enough time '', ''genetic''and ''money'' are just excuses . Don't argue with me on that . Just to let you know, losing weight saves your cash, it doesn't increase it, a 40/40/10 diet is perfect . Maybe lesser than that .
But if its medical problems, it will be a totally different story. That's just bad luck and its kinda sad for them . Seriously, medical problems are such a pain .

Actually genetics is very good reason why and while time/money represent real limitations for some people. The fun thing about 30 minutes a day isn't just 30 min. It's a daily commitment of time some to an activity some people may not be able to do and post-exercise soreness lasts longer than 30min, which can be tough on people who are not physically capable of recovering properly.
There's too many personal physiological variables to account for that need to be thought about before dealing the intake ratios. 40/40/10(do you mean 20?) might be nice for you and you think it's perfect but go around putting people on that diet without figuring out their personal needs you'll end doing more harm to their health than good.

yeah, the generic standard is 40/40/20 and when you mentioned daily commitment, you proved my point correct . They lack discipline and determination
Just to let you know, brisk walking can be considered a cardio exercise. And it doesn't put much strain on your body. That's why even old people can do that for 30 minutes. When i meant by old people , they are 60-70+ years old . Brisk walking is efficient and easy to do.......... not only that, it is effective too . So ?
People tend to blame their genes: Check this out http://jasonstanley.hubpages.com/hub/Looking-for-permanent-weight-loss--Dont-blame-your-genes
''Are you overweight? Have you always been fat? Has losing weight been a struggle for you? If your answer is 'Yes' to all these questions, you must also be thinking that your 'fat' genes are to blame! While recent research and reports have established a direct contact between genes and weight, would it be fair if every overweight person in India and the world alike began blaming their genes?
While we are busy blaming the genes for our weight problems we overlook our fast paced lifestyles, irregular eating schedules, lack of activity and many other factors that are secretly contributing to the bulge on our waists!''
And i have bad genes by the way , i have a small bone density( I can put my fingers around my wrist easily) and I'm born with feet problems (curved in) , and I'm a freaking ectomorph . But I don't really care, I cure my feet problems when i was a small boy by daily walking forcing it to curve out, I was asked to go for an operation but i rejected it . As for the ectomorph gene problem, i started working out last year and I will never quit just because its hard. I even started to enjoy it that moment after you done your cardio and that moment where you gain muscle failure.
Edit: nope, I never ever blame my genes unlike other people

I want to point out the fact that people are so put off by the way the main character looks different from the other characters seems to be pretty much intentional. Looks like the fandom is singling him out for looking different, just like people do in real life to overweight people.
I am very much enjoying an anime that does not portray an overweight character as a comic relief glutton and is instead focusing on developing the character and showing the problems one would face. I look forward to the character development.

I tried to be reasonable with you, but you just took it as a personal offense (that's why my point of view on the subject won't matter). I can't do anything about how you react, but nonetheless I get a lot of fun out of overemotional posts.

As for the team he says, "we have to put this one in the past now we have a very hard test coming up against Chicago."
Coach Jon Cooper says not to lay the blame on the goal tending for the 5-0 loss.

In this chapter we've learned a lot about how to choose size, line height, line length, and color to promote readability of text on the web. Now it is good time to ask, how do professional sites use these things to promote readability? Do any of these sites use an italic, bold, or all caps for emphasis? How is alignment used, how is color used? On ilovetypography.com, they use a generous font size and line height. The line length isn't tool long or too short.
The text in the list of links get smaller, but it works here because it's not prose. The links are still big enough for us to scan quickly or read casually. When italic, bold, or all caps are used, they are used sparingly and they don't affect the readability. We can click through to an article, let's find one here, and we will find the font size and line height are generous.
The line length is comfortable. There is lot of text packed with new information or ideas and reading needs to be as easy as possible. As for the color palette, it's pretty simple. The text is elegant in a very dark gray. This also helps facilitate reading longer passages, because there is a touch less contrast between the texts in the background. John Boardley, the typographer behind ilovetypography.com, uses an orange for accents, but again he uses it sparingly, across the top and for a couple of headings.
In some of his articles he also brings in a red. Jetscram's design uses a readable with less generous font size and a good line length. The line height is also generous. The lines of text aren't too close together or too far apart. Verdana sometimes gets a little heavier when it gets light and dark. And while the font isn't bold, some of the counter forms can start to fill in a bit, but because of the font size and small amount of text to read, this isn't too much of a problem.
Most interesting to me is the color palette on this side. The light gray and the dark gray background is sleek, but not too elegant. It works with their own description of their products: design driven, lifestyle footwear for young, hip, wired tastemakers. Keeping the color shades of gray instead of black-and-white keeps the text readable. It prevents sparkle. It also lets the images of the shoes pop-out even if they're just white shoes and black shoes.
They sort of subtly glow off the gray background. A List Apart uses Verdana too. Since it's not light and a dark background, the text doesn't get any heavier. This makes the text easier to read and readability is especially important on this site, because it publishes long articles that introduce new technical and theoretical information. Their readers aren't reading a quick blurb about great shoes. They need to go into a trance-like state and wrap their minds around new ideas.
When we click through into an article, we can see that when they use italic, they use it sparingly and it doesn't interfere with the readability of the text. As for color, A List Apart changes their color palette. The logo remains the same as does the dark gray font. But here we can see they are using a golden yellow and a dark orange. If we were to have looked at this last month, these colors would have been a bright green and a different kind of orange.
Notice the colors while they are bright are not hard to read. They are dark enough to remain legible on the white background. Khoi Vinn uses Arial and works with size, line height, and line length to promote readability. The line height is generous and the line length prevents doubling, which is great. Compare the text in this post to the text here in the links and you'll see that the links have a much tighter line height. That's okay, because they're not meant to be read in a sustained manner and the line length is so short that there is really no chance of people doubling on those lines.
The color palette is simple and clean. The text is black with the occasional headline in gray. Let's follow, click through to an article here, and you will see headlines are in gray. This allows the images to bring color into the site. It's lovely. There is a little burst of color that will also show up when we roll over links. We will talk about links later in the course, but I wanted to point out here the idea of incorporating link colors and rollover colors into your palette.
Even colors we can't see yet will be part of the palette on rollover. And I can't believe that three out of the four sites that I'm showing you today are using orange this month. You can keep an eye on alistapart.com and check out their changing color palette. I didn't plan on covering another page, but I'm going to show you another one since we are looking at a lot of orange today. Trent Walton uses a bit more color on his site, because each of his articles is designed differently.
One this page you will notice the background is very subtle and the red while bright is not overly so. It's on the orange side, but also sort of on dulled down side. It works really well, both in the image and on the online links. If we go back to this previous article, you'll see the switch. The text looks like it's white, but it's not. It's got a very slight warm color to it. It's actually set at fffff3.
The text doesn't sparkle and interfere with reading and this is primarily because the background color isn't too dark, it's not dark like a black, and the color is dulled down a bit. So the contrast is reduced and the colors used are not too bright. But the blue-green background, it's arresting, especially after seeing all the sites with the sort of subtle elegant dark gray and white theme. So as you can see from analyzing the professional sites, when text is set well with readability in mind, we often don't notice it. We just enjoy and read the text.
Making good typographic decisions to promote reading will take you extra time, but it'll be well worth the trouble. Your readers will be able to enjoy reading about things that are important to them without being distracted or frustrated by a difficult reading experience. Again, when you see a web site with good typography, feel free to analyze their design. What font size and line height are they using with specific fonts? What is their line length? What colors are they using? Don't hesitate to learn from other people's good type decisions.
It will only help you make good type decisions too.

RANT AGAINST THE ranter who stated, "If Paine College is having problems everyone in Augusta should help to solve the problems ..." You must be kidding. Those of us in Augusta have no obligation whatsoever to help clear up the mess that Paine got itself into.
THE U.S. HOUSE is thinking about voting to give the U.N. power to regulate the Internet. Do our own leaders play the traitor?
RANT TO THE Chronicle. Georgia Tech wins the ACC Baseball Tournament as the eighth seed – first time in history. Yet The Chronicle can only manage three column inches on the last page of the sports section. What do you bet the Dawgs would have been on the front page with color pictures ... if only they weren't losers this year?
RANT TO SCONYERS Bar-B-Cue for running a FaceBook page that has nothing to do with the restaurant, but all to do with soliciting Facebook "likes" for some politician. I know Mr. Sconyers is in politics, but it has nothing to do with running a quality restaurant. What they are doing is tacky to say the least.

text: From www.dced.state.ak.us: The Alaska State Capitol was originally the Federal and Territorial Building, but under provisions of the Alaska Statehood Act (approved July 7, 1958), became the property of the State of Alaska. Funds appropriated by Congress in 1911 to pay for the purchase of the Capitol Building site were sufficient to pay for only half of the block on which the building is located. The citizens of Juneau raised the additional money needed to buy the remainder of the site and presented the property to the government. Ground was broken September 18, 1929. The future capitol building was completed on February 2, 1931, and formally dedicated on February 14, 1931. The site and completed building represented an investment of approximately $1 million. Construction is of brick-faced reinforced concrete. The lower façade is faced with Indiana limestone. The four columns of the portico and the interior trim are of light and dark Tokeen marble from quarries at Tokeen, Prince of Wales Island, in Southeast Alaska. Alaska has one of the few capitol buildings that lacks a dome.

Antioxidant-intensive eye cream smoothes and brightens and provides Photo-Aging Defense
Safe, effective, certified, natural skincare without synthetic fragrances, phthalates, harsh sulfates or parabens.
Even minimal exposure to UV light can cause free radical damage. This kind of oxidative stress, known as photo-aging, causes collagen and elastic deterioration, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, freckles and sunspots. To fight photo-aging and help repair damaged skin, we use a powerful form of Vitamin C shown to help neutralize free radicals while naturally stimulating cellular renewal to help boost collagen and elastin production.
Revitalizing Eye Cream
The eye area is always the first to shoe the signs of aging. To protect eyes from deep wrinkles and dark shadows, the eye area must be treated daily with a richly moisturizing and rejuvenation solution. Antioxidant-rich Vitamin C, Lemon Bioflavonoids and White Tea soothe oxidative stress and help fight the visible signs of photo-aging. Eyes appear refreshed and defined.
Suggested Use
After cleansing morning and evening, gently smooth cream over the eye area.

Hi, I am a recent cancer survivor so I have decided to go as natural as possible. My go-to-beauty arsenal has been Mary Kay (I'm a consultant)for a few years. So since I quit using my MK my face looks pretty rough and my dark circles under my eyes are horrible (I'm 38!) Anyway, I received this eye cream last night and dabbed heavily under my eyes-and basically all over my face. I wake up and look in the mirror and I promise I look several years younger!! I am not joking, this works way better and faster than my expensive MK products and I am so comfortable using natural creams. Amazing and wonderful and can't wait to try some more products from iHerb. Thank you Avalon and iHerb!
I love this line of facial products! My face is like a baby's butt and I am 58 yr old (-: And they are very reasonably priced.

I've used the old formula of this product for years- best eye cream EVER. Now they have changed the formula and it burns when applied. Also this is thinner - not as creamy. So disappointed.
Quality, value for money product
Posted by 4935306953600728810 on Apr 20, 2016
With one pump of the bottle, I am able to apply the cream all over my eye area and face.. could see results in a day. Skin is clearer, dark eye circle doesn't appear heavy. will need to use this for few more weeks to see how much it works..
allergic reaction
Posted by 5544564021970527214 on Jul 13, 2015
I wouldn't recommend it to people with sensitive skin prone to redness and irritation. the moment the cream touched my skin I got bad allergic reaction, so I had to wash it off.

No injuries in eastside car fire
A woman on her way to work today noticed sparks and black smoke coming from under the hood of her Audi A4 as she traveled east on East Lake Road near Lake Cliff Drive in Lawrence Park just before 3 p.m. She pulled over as the sparks and smoke became flames and called 911.
The Lawrence Park Township police and fire departments responded and extinguished the fire, which completely consumed the car.
The incident backed up traffic up on East Lake Road for more than 10 minutes.
No injuries were reported, and no cause for the fire was identified.

Call for manuscripts Book series: "Contributions to Transnational Feminism"
Publication Date:
Date Submitted:
Announcement ID:
Call for Manuscripts
New Book Series: Contributions to Transnational Feminism
General Editors: Erin Kenny (Drury University, U.S.A.) and Silvia Schultermandl (University of Graz, Austria)
LIT Verlag (Berlin, Münster, Vienna, London) is accepting book-length manuscripts and proposals from scholars in gender studies, postcolonial theory, feminist anthropology, cultural geography, literary theory, critical theory, and other interdisciplinary fields, and especially seeks projects that offer new theoretical insights and/or grounded empirical research that contribute to the emerging field of transnational feminism.
This new book series (peer-reviewed) is envisioned as a medium to create an international forum for innovative discussions of gender in a transnational context. Emphasis on gender dynamics within transnational contexts enables this book series to investigate and engage various aspects of power and privilege at play in the interaction of peoples, ideas, and commodities in a global economy. We consciously adopt the term "transnational" instead of "global" because we are convinced that the steady mass-movement of people and cultures contributes to a world in which borders and boundaries of nation, culture, race, and gender need to be conceptualized and theorized anew. Unlike global feminism, which was characterized by its tendency to centralize Western concepts of gender and essentialize all other concepts of gender, transnational feminism offers a more nuanced set of parameters, diction and framework for a contemporary discussion of the dynamics at play at experiences of migration across times and places. In the past, "global feminism" has often been confused with a Western feminist theory laid out onto an international context. This series refutes such practices and recognizes the importance of analyzing the specific locations that contribute to the social construction of people's lived worlds, as well the global inequalities that emerge from a world order based on binary oppositions and neo-liberal notions of economy.
We invite book-length discussions on a variety of aspects in transnational feminism which embrace an academic or academic/personal perspective. We especially invite innovative perspectives and interdisciplinary approaches from fields such as Women's Studies, Gender Studies, Queer Studies, Postcolonial Theory, Literary Theory, and Critical Theory.
There is a great range of analytical scope that individual contributions to this book series may display. Topics may include (but are not limited to) the following themes:
- the impact of nationalism on gender roles
- travel across borders / across a life time
- interrelatedness between privilege and (dis)placement
- disconnect between origin and ethnic consciousness
- identity mappings across borders
- transnationality and the global social movements
- poststructuralist/postmodern notions of feminism
- home and domesticity in transnational contexts
- experimental and (auto)ethnographic treatments of gender
- virtual and internal border crossings
Submission Requirements
Submissions should include:
• a 3-5 page overall description of the intent and scope of the project and an evaluation of its projected merits compared to existing texts (eg. How is this work new, valuable, or unique to the field? Are there comparable books?)
• a brief synopsis of each chapter, or possibly a draft of chapters completed
• a recent vita; if this is a multi-authored collection, include a brief biographical sketch of each contributor
• a probable time line for completion
• an estimation of the book's total length (allow 400 words per published page)
• and a discussion of logistical issues (eg. copyright permissions, photographs, illustrations, etc.)

Q. Ken Whisenhunt recently sat down with your scouting staff, giving them his ideas of the kinds of players he likes at each position. Is that dramatically different than what you've been looking for?
A. "No, one of the attractive elements to our decision to go with Coach Whisenhunt is we felt like the plan that he had talked about with respect to offense and defense, that we had many of those pieces in place in terms of our personnel. We really feel like in many respects it's a plug-and-play type of approach. We feel like we have some talented players and with a good plan that our players believe in and a stress on discipline and execution, I feel like we'll be a much better football team."
Q. How would you characterize the free agent market?
A. "I think that there are always opportunities out there. We're going to take the approach that we're going to try and fill as many needs as we can in free agency and then take the additional approach that we're going to draft the best players available. That's generally been our approach over the last several years. It's worked very well for us, and I don't see that changing."
Q. Do you anticipate things will happen like last year, when you had some free agents visit and then signed them before they left?
A. "It's possible. I'd say that was a unique situation. I'm not by any stretch of the imagination going to guarantee that we're going to approach it that way. I think Edgerrin James added a unique element to our approach last year. It was an opportunity to address our running game with one of the best backs in the history of the game. And we wanted to jump on that opportunity. If we're in position where we can do something similar with a player who carries as much impact, then I think we're poised to do that."
Q. Leonard Davis, the perception that he could be leaving, accurate?
A. "I think that that's a possibility but we've also left the door open to re-sign Leonard. He stated he wants to return, he wants the opportunity to continue with us and play for a coach like Russ Grimm and be under the guidance of Ken Whisenhunt. We feel excited about a lot of the things we have in place, and I think he shares that excitement with us. What we didn't want to do with Leonard, obviously, the situation with him from a cap standpoint was large, and we didn't necessarily want to get back into that area with him. "We wanted to have an opportunity to see where the market would be for him and to work with him during the course of that. I've indicated to his agents, Ryan Tollner and Bruce Tollner, that we do have an interest in talking with him and seeing if we can get something re-established with him during this period of free agency."
Q. Will they get back to you if they get an offer from another team?
A. "I know that him returning under those conditions is not a guarantee. But we're trusting in the fact that he sees this as a good home for him and his family and that he would give us an opportunity first before making a decision to move on."
Q. Hard question to hear, but it's about the decision to make a coaching change.
A. "I mentioned three areas earlier that were a concern to me personally, that was having a plan that our entire team believed in, and obviously Ken presented such a plan with the personnel we have in place. I think it's the right direction for our team. He's had great success. He did a marvelous job with the development of Ben Roethlisberger, and with our young quarterback I think that's going to be key. "The other two things for anyone who has watched us closely over the years is that we have not been a very disciplined football team in many respects. We have not executed as well, and I think having studied teams like Indianapolis, New England, Pittsburgh, they've done an excellent job with respect to those three areas. And I feel like this time we have the opportunity to move forward and to satisfy our objectives in those areas."
Q. What was the thinking behind having players involved in the interview process for a head coach?
A. "Having the players involved in the interview process is something that Michael Bidwill and I conceived. The objective behind that was to give the coaches involved an opportunity to see the desire level of our players. It was not that they were part of the determining factor in terms of who we were selecting. It gave them an opportunity to really express their opinions about our team, about the kind of areas they felt like we needed to address. I think more than anything we wanted them to get before the candidates and give the candidates the opportunity to see that we have quite a few football players on this team, like Anquan Boldin, like Adrian Wilson, like Matt Leinart and many others that really want to be successful. "In other words, give them something to believe in and I think they'll run through a wall for us."
Q. Just how debilitating was that loss to the Bears?
A. "Obviously it was a disappointment and it took a lot out of our football team. I was actually more disappointed not in that game, but in the two previous games that followed. We played Green Bay and we didn't play as well as we needed to play. We came back against Oakland and didn't play as well. "I felt like we exemplified to many people what kind of team we had in that Bears game, that we were capable of playing good football. The fact that we lost our air in the second half really was really was not as big a factor as not being able to bounce back from it in the two subsequent games. I felt like we should have won those games. We should have been more prepared than we were. I feel like our team is a much tougher team than that. Mentally, we're tougher than that, and it should not have had as big a impact. In fact, it should have been quite the opposite. We should have drew on the positives of what we accomplished that game and how we lost it and not have it affect us beyond that point."
Q. Question about Louisville's Amobi Okoye, who is only 19?
A. "To me, it's amazing how these youngsters are growing up nowdays. I don't remember players being that big and that talented when I was in high school. But you take a guy who, at his age coming in as a freshman, it's even more unbelievable. He's an outstanding player, and we'll have an opportunity ourselves to interview him here. We haven't done so yet. We're looking forward to judging his maturity level."
Q. Is there an upside to taking someone so young, that you have time to develop him?
A. "I think the objective of all NFL teams is to try to bring in players who can contribute immediately, and then if that's not the case you have to work with what you have. We don't have the luxury, given the salary cap and free agency, to bring a player along other than the quarterback position. I think that will be a concern. It will be a concern to us as to how quickly we think a player like that, given his level of maturity, whether or not he can come in and handle the pressures of our game and respond. But so far at the college level he's done a great job in that respect."
Q. You've drafted some good receivers. How do you sort talent out at that spot?
A. "As at any position, we basically judged our players on their passion for the game, their football intelligence and how physical they play. When you look at a player like Anquan Boldin, he meets all of that. In our opinion, Anquan is the standard now in terms of how we view other receivers. And so, as we rank this class we'll be looking at those guys in those terms: their passion for the game, their football intelligence and how physical they are with respect to carrying out there duties. This is a good class, lot of speed and we'll line them up accordingly."
Q. Anquan slipped in the draft because of concerns about speed, what does that say about the importance of the combine?
A. "I think it certainly throws a lot out the door in terms of emphasis that teams, or general managers and personnel directors like myself put on speed. I think there has got to be a balance. We've seen repeatedly – and not just with Anquan – throughout the league where you have players that don't meet the ideal standard for speed, or the ideal standard for size and yet they turn out to be great football players. We have a couple guys not at the level of Anquan, but the way they play the game has compensated for any lack of abilities, or any lack of size or speed that they possess. But we're more focused on people who make us better and have a passion for the game, and I think that's going to make us a better team."
Q. Will you have a team effort on draft day?
A. "Absolutely. We've always approached it from a team effort standpoint, understanding where we are as a football team. Our coaches and scouts have worked very hard together, even in a short window of time, and we're just trying to understand concepts and needs. I think Coach Whisenhunt has done an excellent job in articulating to our scouting staff and to his newly-formed coaching staff exactly what we need, what we're looking for at those positions, and the type of player we would like to have in our program. We've done a great job in organizing and making sure everybody's on the same page with respect to that. "I view my role in particular when it comes to the draft and to free agency as supporting the plan that he's put forward. This will not be a dominating approach from my seat. It's more about working with coach Whisenhunt, trying to put him the position where he can be the best coach he can be."
Q. Leinart had two shoulder injuries this year (sprains in each one), does he need to get stronger?
A. "Yeah, when Matt first came in I'm not sure how much weight lifting he had ever done at USC. So I'm hoping that John Lott (new strength coach) and a whole new strength program that we're implementing will benefit him and a number of others on our football team. But Matt's a soldier and his shoulder is probably near 100 percent, if not already. He's anxious to get in with Ken and Todd Haley and just kind of get underway with this stuff. "I heard recently that he and Anquan were together throwing the ball already, and there's an anxiousness around our place and a lot of anticipation about this season. We're looking forward to progress rather than change."
Q. Do you plan to use cap space to re-sign players?
A. "No question. My objective, and it has been over the last couple years, is to use our cap room to solidify a strong core of players. And that core could be anywhere from 15 to 20 players. We would like that group to be the cornerstone of that team. And the whole thought process is to reinvest in those guys, to keep and develop some continuity within that group. But we want to be selective about who is in that group. We're talking about the Anquan Boldin- types, the Larry Fitzgerald-s, Adrian Wilson, those type of guys that we think can make a huge difference for us in the long term. And that's where we're going to continue to re-invest our money and make sure we can keep those players together."
