I love your idea of the tutu! I may have to do a variation when I make the hippo. Wouldn't that be cute?
So cute! Love the creativity!
MarianaNa I picked up 40 stitches around the body - 10 per needle. Then knit 1 round and next round increased in in every other stitch, knit 1 round and increased again. It was more a feel as to how to increase. To pick up the stitches I used Susan's idea of one leg of the knit stitch. Hope this helps.
Love the tutu! You actually answered a question I had been mulling over about clothing them without separate pieces. I'm new at this and having so much fun.
That's just gorgeous!

Majority of displaced Syrians prefer to live in Iraq's
Kurdistan Region
Majority of displaced Syrians prefer to
live in Iraq's Kurdistan Region
June 4, 2012
AMSTERDAM, — More displaced Syrians,
mostly Kurds, are waiting at the border to allow
them to cross into the Kurdistan region in Iraq,
amid signs about escalating violence in most parts
of Syria.
The news was detailed in the latest report by the
United Nations High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR),
published in US newspaper International Business
The report pointed out that the authorities in the
Kurdistan Region are getting ready to receive more
refugees. Most of the displaced Syrians seek asylum
in the region, after the UNHCR registered, in
cooperation with the Ministry of Displacement and
Migration in Iraq, a significant increase in the
number of refugees.
The report read: "The displacement of tens of
thousands of people to Kurdistan is a significant
turning point for the political, geographic and
economic equation that governs the region.
"This region [Kurdistan], which was a point of
dispute over the decades between the Kurds and the
central authorities in Baghdad, has become today an
ideal resort not only for the displaced from Syria,
but also for the fleeing Kurds from Iran and
Economic researcher and academic Saad al-Jabbouri,
who resides in the Netherlands, said: "The
commission believes that the Kurdistan Region, if
compared to other countries that receive refugees
like Jordan, which is suffering from scarcity of
resources, can host the displaced persons under
security, economic stability and prosperity. It's
the preference of the majority of displaced people,
especially the Kurds, to resort to [the region]."
Kurdistan seems to be the best choice for the UNHCR
to receive more displaced people if the region's
authorities approve the move. This is in light of
the complaints about a country like Jordan and its
inability to receive more refugees because of the
scarcity of resources,www.ekurd.net
such as water. Every displaced person needs about 80
liters of water per day, which is a financial burden
on Amman.
Displaced Kurd Saif al-Din Salah, who arrived in the
Netherlands last week, said that most members of his
tribe migrated to the Kurdistan Region.
"Most of the displaced people prefer to move there
because of security and the good treatment they
receive there as well as providing services to them.
The refugees in the region do not suffer from what
others in Jordan and Turkey suffer due to the
scarcity of water and medical services.
"The Kurds who arrived in Kurdistan felt great
differences between the living condition in the
region and Syria, where they had lived in extreme
poverty if compared to the living condition in
On March 31 the UNHCR registered the entry of 4,281
Syrian Kurdish refugees to Kurdistan. Kurds form 10
percent of the total population of Syria, which
amounts to some 23 million people.
External relations official Eve McDonnell at the
UNHCR said: "More than 20,000 Syrians have
registered with UNHCR as refugees since March 2011.
There are plans to launch projects with quick
results in cooperation with the authorities of the
region if it appears that the crisis will last
longer, and this is most likely to happen."
Regardless of the conflict in Syria, the Kurdistan
Region is witnessing economic development and is
attracting investment companies.
With regard to the Syrian crisis, the UNHCR records
that an average of ten families and about 70 people
are displaced each day to the region. These people
are mostly Syrian Kurds, activists and dissident
soldiers who are fleeing from the authorities that
prosecute them for opposing the regime or for their
participation in protests.
Some people also enter the region illegally to get
Barakat Jalal, a displaced Syrian Kurd who fled to
the Netherlands, is seeking to follow his family in
the Dumez in Faida district, southwest of Duhok.
Jalal said that he hopes to return to Kurdistan as
soon as possible after his family promised to talk
to regional authorities and the UNHCR about his

Fall/Winter 2016-2017 Kitsilano Skating Club Schedule
Next Session: Fall/Winter: Sept. 6, 2016- March 31, 2017 at Kitsilano Arena
The Kitsilano Figure Skating Club (KitsFSC), a member club of Skate Canada, is a non-profit society with club activities overseen by a group of volunteers which forms the Board of Directors. The Club operates in accordance with the Rules, Regulations and Policies of Skate Canada. The Club is located in the heart of the Kitsilano district of Vancouver, British Columbia. The Kitsilano Arena is part of the Kitsilano Community Centre Complex. The KitsFSC office is separate from the community centre rink office. Any Club business should be directed to KFSC office located between the concession and the skate rental area. There is a Club bulletin board outside of the office door where information is posted for Club members.
A Message from the Board of Directors
Welcome to the 2016-2017 skating season at Kitsilano Skating Club! At KitsSC, we are proud to continue serving the community by enabling life-long participation in skating for fun, fitness, and achievement. Our goal is to provide quality, affordable skating instruction to all club members in an environment that promotes personal achievement. KitsSC offers a variety of programs that are suitable for all ages and abilities, from preschoolers stepping on the ice for the first time to adult skaters. These programs serve recreational and competitive skaters. Our skating lessons are run by Skate Canada NCCP certified coaches.
New Programs for the New Year! The Pre Star and Star Development Programs Will Replace The Junior Development Program in January 2016
We are very excited to announce that the Junior Development Program has been replaced by two new programs designed to bring Kitsilano SC programming in line with current Skate Canada Star programming.
Pre Star Program: Skaters will be invited from CanSkate to advance to the Pre Star Program. In this program they will learn advanced CanSkate skills and be introduced to stroking, edgework, and turning, in a group environment. Off-ice classes are included in Pre Star. Skaters have the option to attend 1-4 times per week.
Star Development Program: Once completed CanSkate and an introduction to solid basics, Pre Star skaters will be invited to join the Star Development Program. Here they will begin work in the Skate Canada Star Program in a group environment, with a view to participating in their first Star One event at a local Skate Canada sanctioned competition. Star One Skills include stroking, spinning, jumping, spirals, and a one minute improvised routine skated to a pre chosen piece of music. Skaters will continue to develop the basics of stroking, edgework, and turning, and begin to focus more on spinning, jumping, and basic ice dancing steps. Off-ice classes are also included in Star Development. Skaters may choose 2-4 days per week. Minimum two day per week attendance is mandatory to participate in the Star Development Program.
Please contact our office by email at email@example.com or by phone at (604)737-6000 with any questions.
Happy Skating!

Tuition wouldn't be an issue if the school has people in place to run it but they are incapable. It's dirty, bathrooms are nasty like porta-pottys.

And while it's tempting to call Jim Powell the anti-Vic Mackey, it's probably unfair.

Abstract : This dissertation places Pearl in the context of works by the English fourteenth-century contemplative writers ('mystics'), as well as of patristic and other theological treatises, focusing on the theme of comprehending and speaking about a transcendent divine dimension. The purpose is to show that Pearl and the works of Julian of Norwich, Margery Kempe, Walter Hilton, Richard Rolle and the author of The Cloud of Unknowing share a concern with attempting to express the inexpressible.

3. English Place-Name Elements Relating to BoundariesUniversity dissertation from Centre for Languages and Literature, Lund University
Abstract : Place-names often reflect local, cultural, and political history. It is only natural, therefore, that words for such historically important phenomena as boundaries should form part of place-names. In England, there is a fair number of place-name elements that refer to boundaries. Some of them are treated in this thesis. READ MORE

Theres considerably less drift in Ice Age: Continental Drift, the latest in a long line of lucrative cartoons from Blue Sky Studios and their friends at Fox.
movie review
??1/2 (out of five stars)Director: Steve MartinoCast: Voices of Ray Romano, John Leguizamo, Queen Latifah, Keke Palmer, Denis Leary, Jennifer Lopez, Peter DinklageRated: PG for mild rude humor and action/perilRunning time: 1 hour, 34 minutesWhat did you think?: Find this review at charlestonscene.com and offer your opinion
Its all sight gags and action beats, which tends to cover the shortcomings these assembly-line farces are infamous for. And at a brisk 94 minutes, its less reliant on charm-starved chatter among its increasingly over-stuffed voice cast.
Yes, there are even more big names doing the talking for the various Ice Age critters. Pop stars Nicki Minaj and Jennifer Lopez join up, with Peter Dinklage, Wanda Sykes, Joy Behar, Nick Frost and Simon Pegg. But that old rule that They only add more big names to the voice cast when theyre worried about the animation doesnt apply, as this is the least chatty film of this series.
The Ice Age movies are known for their sloppy science, and this one has the growing extended family of mammoths (Ray Romano, Queen Latifah and now daughter Keke Palmer) split up by the splitting of continents. Yeah, Scrat, that nut-obsessed saber-toothed squirrel, had something to do with it.
Manny the mammoth (Romano), Diego the saber-toothed tiger (Denis Leary), Sid the innocent but accident-prone sloth (John Leguizamo) and Sids Granny (Sykes) are adrift on an iceberg, wondering how to get back to the others.
Thats when they meet the pirates. Of course there are pirates! Captain Gutt is the primate who has figured out how to turn icebergs into buccaneer boats, and his scurvy crew of rabbits, sea lions and blood-thirsty gulls has designs on Manny & Co.
Gutt, voiced by Dinklage, leads his crew in a lusty pirate sea chantey.
In a world thats going under, you must learn to plunder, Dinklage (Game of Thrones) croons. Hes helped by his own tiger sidekick, voiced by Lopez.
The castaway Ice Agers plot to foil the pirates, with the help of a gag borrowed from Open Season. And back on dry, drifting land, we get a couple of life lessons in which the kid mammoth Peaches (Palmer) learns that cool kids who want you to abandon your old friends arent cool.
And every so often, Scrat has another frustrating encounter with that elusive prehistoric acorn.
Sykes Granny may mutter, All this sweetness is gonna rot my teeth, but it all goes by so quickly that even text-checking parents wont mind.
The animation is better than ever (check out the photo-real water and ice here). The 3-D sight gags (jabs through the screen, and drool dropping off it) work.
No, its not Rio, Blue Skys best effort to date. But theyve steadily raised the bar on the look of these films, if not the science lessons in the script.
A brief, witty and dialogue-free Simpsons 3-D short film, The Longest Daycare, precedes this Ice Age.
Maggie, the baby, is tormented while trying to save a butterfly from a baby bully at the internment camp where shes deposited by her parents each day. Four minutes, five pretty big laughs.

Paying to enter a shop?

If the price is too high it makes the player grind more, too low and its almost pointless..
I could understand a shopping key or even randomly appearing shops but the idea of paying makes me scream wtf.
So what are your guys questions, comments or ideas?

Here's a twist. You get to go into a shop one time for free. Just to see what's in it. You can even buy something that first time. But the second time, you pay a small fee. Let's say, 1G. Now if you leave the shop without buying anything, the price goes up to 2G. However, if you do buy something it stays at 1G.
But the real question is this: what exactly are you trying to accomplish with: paying to get into a shop/shopping key/randomly appearing shops?

To expand further on Aplha's words, what he's asking you is what's the context.
let's define a few things first:
A-randomized shop
B-some sort of "key" to enter shop
C-pay to enter shop
Now you have your three different ideas, let's put it in the context of a game.
Dungeon Crawl: A and B OR A and C
RPG: A OR A and B OR A and C
Fighter: A OR A and C
As you can see, defining the genre first and inputting what would work in the genre is a sure way to figure out whether your idea is worth expanding.
Now, moving onto what you asked. Is it worth paying money to enter a shop? Yes, and no.
Again, its genre wise, but I'm going to stick with a dungeon crawl since it is the easiest type to explain.
Paying money to enter a shop, for a dungeon crawl, is in itself a useless idea seeing as money is such a huge factor in those games, you will either have to, as you said, go too high a price or too low. Yet, it's like anything. It doesn't work because you've only found the core of an idea, the expansion of that idea and how you approach it is what will define its uses.
Say every time you pay to enter a shop, the price doubles. So strategically, you'll have to calculate how much money you have, and if its worth going into the shop right now. This will cause a lot of strategic gaming, unfair deaths, hate/love towards the game etc.
Another idea would be that you can either use a key, or pay money. Yet if you pay money, you have to take a roll that defines how much money is wasted. So if you don't have a key on you, and you take a chance, you could end up losing all your precious gold.
So yes, your gf is both right and wrong at the same time. Paying money to enter a shop is, in itself, utterly useless. Expanding the idea is what makes it a worthwhile mechanic in your game.
If, at any point, what I post is hard to understand, tell me. I am bad at projecting my thoughts into real words, so I appreciate the knowledge that I need to edit my post.
I am not a professional writer, nor a professional game designer. Please, understand that everything you read is simply an opinion of mind and should not, at any point in time, be taken as a credible answer unless validated by others.
I do take brief bouts of disappearance so don't worry if I either don't reply to you or miss certain things. I am quite a lazy fellow.

Why change the formula? You don't see games doing it. It does not make sense. You're penalizing the player to go into your shop.

You're in the Game Design and you're asking "why change the formula?"? Part of the point of Game Design is push if not break out of the box. And yes, this particular feature "doesn't make sense" because there's no context. Not because he's trying to do something akin to having grass to fall up.

I don't know about paying to enter a shop, but I can think of something similar.
In GW:Nightfall, there was a end-of-campaign vendor who sold unique armor. This vendor wasn't in a town or some persistent place, but was actually at the end of an instanced area that was only accessible once you defeated the last boss of the campaign.
This was done in a way to prove that you've beaten the campaign (or at least that's how I saw many used it), and to increase the difficulty in obtaining what was supposed to be a somewhat rare armor. On top of that, since the vender required a unique item to get his armor, it also made it impossible for someone to just trade that item to another player so that other player could then get the armor.
In essence, it made it so that there's no way to cheat your way to get the armor.
It's not quite similar to paying actual gold, but you could probably use that to similar effect. Some high level auction houses require payment to be access IRL, and it's one way to sort of show your status in a game anyway. Though for this to be useful in any way, you would have to make the shop that requires payment to enter actually sell something unique and unobtainable anywhere else - otherwise it becomes meaningless.
I don't think any other way would work that well - for example having all shops be pay to enter makes it just a meaningless and unrealistic gold sink, that's likely to just annoy players, while you could potentially achieve the same effect just by raising prices of the items in the shops.

I'd prefer having different shops buy/sell for different prices and have a black market where after earning trust or something unscrupulous individuals will offer to fence your goods or sell you some "hot" items for cheaper than the store. Maybe the stores only buy for half what they sell for while the other individual offers 60%-70% when they buy but they only need a few items at a time (randomly generated what they want?)

"Wirt" is an NPC from Diablo 1 that would charge the player to even look at the single item he had for sale, but it could be higher quality than the regular store had available. Maybe you'd get lucky, maybe not. It was a form of gambling, if you were really hard up for a significant upgrade and money wasn't a concern, making it an alternative to farming for drops, or when the regular quality gear for sale just doesn't cut it.
As the others pointed out, it can work within the context of your game. If there's a reason to do it, even if it's not always reasonable, you can create situations where the players decide whether to pay and having that control could improve their experience. Can they get a discount there, making it worth it for large purchases? Are premium items available that aren't normally for sale? A wider selection so they don't have to travel to six different places?

You could perhaps set it up as a festival, or bazaar. There could be an admittance fee, but none specifically for any one particular shop.
You could however, have shops/merchants who cater to specific classes, or those who have certain skills or are a certain level. The black market idea that Imbarns mentioned would be cool too. It's always great when shop owners will buy, as well as sell.

A tax to get into the City where the best and wealthiest merchants are as opposed to the Towns where its free to enter but the selection is smaller and worse.

I would assume something similar to this method would be used in freenium games and the like.

Just remembered, back in Ultima Online on your crafting character if you joined the different NPC "Guilds" you got a discount on items through that guild, (mage guild gave mage discounts) but you could only be a member of one guild at a time. So it was kinda like a membership..

Paying to enter a shop without providing anything extra seems to me just an annoyance to beginners with naturally low money.
The one point where it could make sense to me is if there is new randomized items in a shop every time you enter. Then it basically makes people pay for abusing the randomizer to get a better item, though I would not let the payment grow per use as people clicking the randomizer button 1000x would have to pay 1000x the amount of gold already and better items get less and less likely. Higher quality shops could have a higher price per click, so everyone can at least go into some lower level shop without being completely cut off.
That could trick people into paying ingame for their doings instead of abusing safe/load or back and forth travelling between 2 shops, if it goes faster.

I kinda see a parallel to an annoying IRL parking experience I had recently.
Paying $15 for parking is nothing in the scheme of things. Considering that I need to be in that building to tend to important business and advancing my life long plans, it is irrelevant. Yet, I realize there are some things I need that I don't have with me. And as the minutes tick by I realize I would like to have them more and more. Another $15 isn't too big a deal, is it? Though there was the parking fee from just yesterday as well. And that time earlier this week. It's all going to credit and haven't paid that bill just yet. That really starts to add up. Do I really need that stuff I forgot or can I make do with what's at hand?
IRL, my income isn't going to increase dramatically and I would consistently be thinking that sort of thing. Do I really need to be here? Have I planned for everything? What are the risks involved. Kinda sucks in life but it can have potential to be fun to think about playing a game. But in a game it's generally expected that income increases significantly across relatively short playtime. That set fee to be where you want to be becomes more and more irrelevant. Should it become irrelevant? If it does that fee is only a nuisance as it's a couple more seconds and button clicks preventing you from doing what you've made up your mind on. Nothing is going to stop you. There's no pause for reflection anymore.
So, similar to what others have already suggested, I would say that if you add something like a fee to enter a building, you have to make sure that planning what you're about to do is fun and that it stays fun across the entire course of the game.

1. These shops have some extra complementary service - like a healing fountain, repairing facility, or haircutter. Or a tray of 'free samples' like healing potions or food items. The cost of entrance goes towards accesing these extra features in addition to the shop itself.
2. Black market shops - If you are trying to sell a bunch of stolen goods (or just things you can't normally sell) you might have to pay a fee "Ta prove you ain't just wastin' ma time.". The money you would gain from selling the items offsets the entrance fee.
3. Similarly, if shops normally have a limit on how much money they have on hand and you're trying to unload junk, certain wealthy shop owners dedicated to buying stuff might require an entrance fee but in exchange they have a much higher amount of gold on hand so it should be possible to unload all your vendor trash on them.
4. In addition to the above, they could have an extra special deal on certain staple items like healing potions, ammo, or whatnot. Lets say your average shop buys items at 50% list price and sells at 200%. Special shops buy certain items at 75% and sell at 150%. However, if you pay the entrance fee, and sell enough vendor trash that the shop owner runs out of money then he changes tactics.
"Wow, you've got alot of stuff to sell. Tell ya what, I'll give you a special deal".
At that point, he buys and sells health potions (and other staple items) at the same price ( effectivly treating those items as another type of money) he might also open up a list of special items or powerful/expensive equipment.
Since the only way to open up these special deals is to empty the shop owners funds, the player is guaranteed to have a decent amount of money so once they achieve this they can either buy up a massive number of healing potions/items or get the rare piece of equipment.
5. Paying the fee upgrades the shop - Probably doesn't make sense in an economic sense but maybe every time you pay the fee, the shop upgrades a bit, adding features or better selection or funds. Perhaps this would be better as an investment system where every time you buy stock in the shop you can make a suggestion like "get more potions", "more money to buy items with", "install an alchemy set", or "better prices for animal furs".
This would better suit it if these are one or two shops the player visits on a regular basis so upgrading them is beneficial.
6. Otherwise, I suppose if it's a one-time investment (like buying a membership), it could be a way to unlock new areas in a way. Like, the shops control the respawn areas, teleportation gates, save areas or the like and paying the fee unlocks them.
7. There is a way to eliminate the entry fee. Either paying a larger membership fee, fullfilling some condition (like sell/buy 1000 gold worth of stuff), or defeat the boss monster of the area. This encourages the player to complete this objective in the area. Such as, if defeating the boss eliminates the fee, that shows how your actions are earning you fame.
8. Fluff to show how desperate the situation is, or how important the NPC is. Say you enter a camp or village with injured people and the town healer is busy helping people. You can ask to buy stuff, but she demands a fee to open her "shop" and makes it clear the money will be going to getting more medicine. She's running a hospital, not a market stall.
Similarly, while the royal wizard can teach you spells, you have to pay money upfront to show you're serious and to compensate for distracting him from his regular duties. (in both cases, fulfilling some objective may remove the fee out of respect for your actions).
9. The "shop" in question isn't meant to be a place you regularly go to. More like a club or special event. Put all the strippers, movies, booze, or mini-games in this location for when players want to take a rest from the main adventure and goof off.
Maybe each town has a "inn" and a "tavern". The inn is meant for visitors and just has the beds, bar, and quest board that wandering adventures use. The tavern is meant for the locals and has better booze, conversations, and games or whatever. If you're new to town you have to pay the fee to get in (it keeps the riff-raff out). If your fame in the area becomes great enough, or you buy a house in that town, then you can enter without having to pay the fee.
In-universe, the entry fee is the locals way of keeping undesirables out of the "safe zones" without necessarily barring the player from that area. Could even be paired with a karma meter of sorts. If your character looks suspicious, the guy guarding the door can increase the fee while if you look more respectable it can be decreased or waived accordingly.

- Some shops area are available only for Guild Affiliate. You hadn't to pay directly for enter the shop, but the membership to the Guild of your choice costs money
- You're a foreigner in the new town where there's a law which forbids outlanders to have trade and affair other than a restricted area (you can shop only in some limited shops) but during a quest in the area you're given the chance to bribe (pay money) someone which will give lend you a "special pass"
SciFi (I suppose "credits" and "shops" are virtualized from sort of vending machine you can find around)
- Our hero is an outlaw, so can't buy things with his name... so in order to access to shops need a new blank "ID" which can be buy from hackers (if the game is "team based" you can have special bonus when one of these "hackers" join your party). The blank ID works only for a restricted time/game chapter when police find out what were you doing and put the new ID in the blacklist... so the player need to buy another one.

A 'sellers market' where the goods are in such high demand (and the supply so low) that even the chance to buy is an advantage.
To be in such demand (like for survival) is an abormal situation where there can be only a few handled customers possible (supply runs out fast) or there is some exclusivity where lookeeloo customers are a waste of the merchants time (and people who want to look but not buy might be 'milked' as a side business).
Product with entertainment value ? Then purchase may not be the main business .
Generally there is sufficient competition (or l;ack of real need) that the merchant EXPENDS money to get prospective customers.

Google Percolator
Google has rolled out its new search platform Caffeine in June, but the company has been a little tight lipped about the implementation details. We were told that Caffeine can incrementally update the search index and produce "50% fresher" results, but Google did not go into further details. All of that has changed with two Google search engineers, Daniel Peng and Frank Dabek publishing a paper describing the technology that drives Caffeine, called Percolator.
Up until now Google used a system called MapReduce to build their search index. Many crawlers would gather content from all over the web and feed it into the MapReduce system which then generates the search index in one large batch operation. Given the size of the index (more than 100 million gigabytes) this process can take many days to complete. The delay between a page being crawled and it showing up in the index used to be about 2-3 days on average, with sites being recrawled every one or two weeks. To be able to index breaking news stories Google split the index into layers, with the fastest layer being updated every 10 seconds. But the majority of the web is in the 'slow' layer which means we are stuck with a multi-day latency.

Fausto Carmona was living a lie. For his entire career he was using a false name.
His real name was Jackwagon Slim. Just kidding. No, Carmona's birth name is "Roberto Hernandez".
That's pretty much the equivalent of going from "Megatron McMichaels" to Chris Smith.
Oh well, what can you do? It's not like Fausto...er...Roberto was the first player to use a false name.
Remember Leo Nunez? Turns out he was neither a Leo nor a Nunez. Real name: Juan Carlos Oviedo. Hey, that's much cooler than Roberto Hernandez at least.
A few weeks ago, the Miami Marlins' slugger Mike Stanton issued a statement that he was going to drop the "Mike" in favor of his middle name. Now, he's "Giancarlo" Stanton.
How cool is that? Not only is Giancarlo a super-awesome name, but it also moves the former left-handed reliever—Mike Stanton—back onto the leader board for best big leaguer named Mike Stanton.
Everybody wins.
Here's a list of some of the best/worst names of big leaguers of all-time. Some are downright disturbing while others are just flat-out goofy. Either way, they're all quite entertaining...and, believe it or not, not one of them is fake.

Sentinel Shows Morality With Erin Andrews Peephole Video Story
The headline for the most popular story on the Sun-Sentinel site reads "Some sicko actually videotaped a naked Erin Andrews through a peephole." It's about a viral (apparently literally in some cases) of the ESPN sideline commentator and world-class hottie naked in her hotel room. Shot through a keyhole. That's sounds like some pretty high-tech privacy invasion, like a CIA-level peeping tom.
Well, I find the whole thing to be absolutely sick. Disgusting, repulsive, absolutely offensive, and outrageous. And I'm very happy to report that the video has been taken down from the web. I know because I looked for it. For like a half an hour. (Look, I'm a journalist, and that means, as traumatic is it might be, I have to verify these things with my own eyes. I make these kinds of sacrifices every day, people.) Anyway, here's the picture the Sentinel ran with its story, which happens to be one of the most curvaceous shots of Andrews available anywhere. But don't focus on that part of it! Only a sicko would do that.

Washington state courts Airbus amid Boeing tension
SEATTLE Even as they try desperately to hang on to Boeing, officials in Washington state have been courting the main competitor of the aerospace giant.
During the past several months, state officials have traveled to the U.S. headquarters of Airbus SAS in Virginia, moved to connect Airbus with Washington state suppliers, and signed a five-year confidentiality agreement with the company to allow further exploration of business opportunities, according to records obtained by The Associated Press under public disclosure laws.
In a confidential memo provided to Gov. Jay Inslee in July, state officials described dozens of potential ways to expand or recruit aerospace businesses in the state. At the top of the memo was Airbus, described as just one of a few major opportunities.
One expert said for years it was generally frowned upon for Washington state officials to jeopardize the relationship with Boeing by seeking ties with Airbus. However, the steps outlined in the memo came amid tension created when Boeing moved its headquarters from Seattle to Chicago and started an assembly line in South Carolina to build its 787 passenger plane.
Now, as it looks for a cheaper place to build its 777X passenger plane, Boeing has been exploring bids from 22 states that could send thousands of good-paying jobs elsewhere. Hoping to persuade Boeing to stay in Washington, state lawmakers gathered in a special session and approved an estimated $9 billion in tax breaks.
Alex Pietsch, top aerospace adviser to the governor, said the talks with Airbus are not an attempt to replace Boeing. But a new relationship with another industry player would diversify the state's aerospace economy and provide new opportunities for suppliers that are largely dependent on Boeing, he said.
"Just because we have had a near 100-year history with the Boeing Co. doesn't mean we can't work with others," Pietsch said.
Boeing's history in the Pacific Northwest dates back more than a century, when William Boeing purchased a Seattle shipyard that would become his first airplane factory. Since then, Boeing has been a cornerstone of the region's economy. Its shifting personnel influences traffic patterns, and its green aircraft fuselages can be seen traveling by train along the Seattle waterfront.
State figures show the aerospace industry employs some 130,000 people at 1,250 companies around Washington, with suppliers making components such as aircraft lavatories, flight-deck security doors and molds to shape aircraft fuselages. The state estimates 777X production would support more than 56,000 jobs.
David Williams, vice president of procurement for Airbus Americas, said there are no near-term plans for Airbus to set up shop in Washington. However, he pointed out that Washington is already the company's No. 2 state in terms of the number of suppliers, with Airbus making some $200 million in purchases a year.
He expects that amount to grow as Airbus increases its U.S. spending and makes more connections with Washington state businesses.
This past summer, the state worked with the Pacific Northwest Aerospace Alliance to bring together aerospace suppliers and Airbus to talk about how they can expand partnerships. More than 110 suppliers attended the event – nearly triple what the alliance had anticipated.

The owners of Graham Central Station, a five-venue nightclub complex with more than 42,000 square feet, said they hope to open in Western Plaza Shopping Center in about six months.
"It's a huge entertainment complex, something for everyone," said Gary Graham, general partner.
Customers can attend the five venues, Denim & Diamonds, a country and western venue; Zazoo, a Top 40 club; Alley Cats, a karaoke and comedy club; Bellbottoms, a retro venue; and Graham's Burgers & Billiards, a sports bar, for one cover charge, Graham said. The cover charge has not been set, Graham said.
The venues will open at 7 p.m. seven days a week, except for the sports bar, which will open at noon to serve food, he said.
Graham said he is allowing up to two months for the landlord to demolish and clear out the space at the east side of the mall, including the old Family Photo location and food court.
His construction crew will take four months to complete the approximately $2.5 million in renovations to create the entertainment complex, Graham said.
The establishment will employ about 100 people, including manager Jeff Howard.
"Western Plaza used to be so fun for everyone, and it's looked so sad for so long," Howard said.
The new complex will help revitalize the property and boost the Amarillo economy, he said.
Graham said he and his brothers have built about 50 similar businesses across several states.
Western Plaza, once a shopping hub in Amarillo, has fallen largely into disuse in recent years.
Triple Net Properties, a California-based firm, purchased the mall in August 2001 with plans to revitalize it.
Michael Frieman, a senior asset manager in Denver, Colo., and member of the team developing the property, said the new tenant will help move foward the owner's plans for the mall.
"The announcement of this lease and this fantastic tenant certainly will allow the landlord to move forward with other more visible signs of progress at the mall," Frieman said.
Planned renovations include new signs and other external improvements to the building, he said.
The owner's plans are progressing slower than they originally hoped.
"Let's remember that we purchased the property just a few weeks before the tragic events of Sept. 11, 2001, and the ensuing significant weakening in the commercial real estate market," Frieman said. "We think that 2003 will be our best year."

Getting surprising mileage from a bite-sized subject, "The Killing of a Chinese Cookie" is a thoroughly amusing look at the fortune cookie -- its disputed origins, pop-culture profile and every other possible angle. Accomplished first feature by Derek Shimoda is the kind of light after-dinner documentary perfect for pubcasters and other upscale-novelty-seeking broadcasters.
Getting surprising mileage from a bite-sized subject, "The Killing of a Chinese Cookie" is a thoroughly amusing look at the fortune cookie — its disputed origins, pop-culture profile and every other possible angle. Accomplished first feature by Derek Shimoda is the kind of light after-dinner documentary perfect for pubcasters and other upscale-novelty-seeking broadcasters.
It turns out there's quite a bit of argument over who "invented" the fortune cookie, with several San Francisco and Los Angeles figures claimed by their descendants and some scholars as deserving the credit. Likeliest scenario, however, is that it was created as a promotional item for the still-extant Japanese Tea Garden in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park nearly a century ago.
When West Coast Japanese-Americans were sent to internment camps after Pearl Harbor, Chinese-American bakeries began making the cookie, which gradually became ubiquitous in Chinese restaurants despite having no traditional role in Chinese cuisine.
Now it's a global thing, valued not so much for taste as for entertainment value. One mass-production factory produces up to 5 million of the (once hand-made) sweets per day. We also meet professional fortune writers, and some in the diverse roster of interviewees are asked to pen their own ideal fortunes — the best being "Stop being so desperate that you're looking for answers here."
Sometimes it's a good idea to follow one's fortune, however, as about 120 Powerball gamblers discovered not long ago. Expecting something closer to four or five high winners, lottery officials suspected a security leak, only to find that the lucky numbers had corresponded to those in a recent fortune cookie.
Other diverting bits include relevant episode clips from "The Monkees" and "The Simpsons." There's discussion of the naughty popular jape of adding "in bed" to the end of any fortune recitation, as demonstrated in a funny clip from the feature film "Guinevere," though a terrific skit from the sketch-comedy series "Upright Citizens Brigade" is strangely absent. An anonymous conceptual artist who snuck absurdist-message cookies into restaurants to see patrons' reactions is another highlight.
Shimoda and editor James Lu sometimes questionably cut footage to make certain interviewees look foolish, although the technique duly raises laughs. More appealing in the overall sharp package is some simple animation by Neil Lee Thompsett.

1a. A block is first placed on its long side and then on its shortside on the same inclined plane, as shown. The block slides downthe plane on its short side but remains at rest on its long side. Apossible explanation is:
- the short side
- the normal
forceis less in the second case
- the force
ofgravity is more nearly down the plane in the second
- the
frictionalforce is less because the contact area is less
- the center ofgravity is higher in the second case
- has
anacceleration of constant magnitude
- must have only
oneforce acting on it
- is held to
itspath by centrifugal force
- is
- has anacceleration that is tangent to the circle
