Apr 26, 2013 - Townsend TN
We got another lateish start today, but it was for a good reason – we got our act together and headed down the road a minute or so to the Firefly Café for breakfast. It was good, but not stunning, but it beat whippin' up something at home. After breakfast we headed into the park and onto 441 towards Cherokee and the Oconaluftee Visitor Center with the plan of hitting the Balsam Mountain Road for another off the beaten path day-trip. On the way there we did a little detour and pulled into the Smokemont Campground to look for an old, hidden...Jump to full entry
Apr 25, 2013 - Townsend TN
Once we finally got on the road, we covered a lot of miles. From one of the most remote areas of the park, to Maggie Valley NC, the Blue Ridge Parkway and all the way across US 441 from Cherokee and then back to Townsend it was, by my calculations, about 200 miles. We left the campground around 11:00 and headed north onto Hwy 321 and then into the park at Metcalf Bottoms along Little River Road, then on through the fresh hell that is Gatlinburg to Cosby TN where we headed off on the world's twistiest road - TN 32 – to the Big Creek Ranger...Jump to full entry
Apr 24, 2013 - Townsend TN
Greetings from the damp side of Great Smoky Mountain National Park. Our decision making this morning was all about the radar. It showed a line of rain moving our way from the west and since we basically had to head west, the decision came down to whether we could beat the rain to our current location in Townsend TN or not. We decided to take our chances and hit the road so right at 10:00 we were out of Blairsville and on our way to TN; rain or not. We headed west on Hwy 129 to 64 near Murphy NC, then onto 294 and 68 – both pretty narrow,...Jump to full entry
Apr 20, 2013 - Newfound Gap & Clingman's Dome
Newfound Gap (mile 14.7) lies on on the Tennessee/North Carolina state line. Here I took pictures of the Oconaluftee Valley, had my picture taken on top of the Rockefeller Memorial (where President Franklin D. Roosevelt stood in 1940 to dedicate the park), and took a picture of the trail head for the Appalachian Trail. We also had our picture taken at the maker for the state line, with Jim in one state and me in another. This gap is called "newfound" because it wasn't used as a passasge through the mountains until U.S. 441 was built in the...Jump to full entry
Apr 9, 2013 - Tail of the Dragon
Deals Gap is a popular and internationally famous destination for driving enthusiasts, as it is located along a stretch of a two-lane road known as The Dragon (or The Tail of the Dragon). The 11-mile stretch of the Dragon in Tennessee is said to contain 318 curves. The road segment earned its name from its curves resembling the back or tail of a dragon. The stretch bears the street name Tapoco Road in North Carolina and Calderwood Highway in Tennessee and is signed entirely by U.S. Highway 129. State Route 115 is included on maps, and is...Jump to full entry
Mar 25, 2013 - Smoky Mountain National Park
Enjoyed a drive March 20, the first day of spring, on the Foothills Parkway starting just outside of Townsend, driving south to Route 129. Found a place where we will want to take a short hike on Look Rock Tower Trail. The tower provides a 360 degree panoramic view of the Smokies. West is the Tennessee River Valley toward the Cumberland Mountains. The Look Rock tower is used by scientists to study air quality. Next day, March 21, took a drive into the Park, driving along Little River Road on the northern end of the Park from Townsend to...Jump to full entry

Jul 18, 2012 - We're back! Long Entry to Catch up on the Last Week. ***Big Meadows Family Campground, Townsend, TN
We arrived at Alley Springs National Scenic Riverways, Eminence, MO, last Thursday. It was the 30th year for the descendants of my grandparents to gather for a few days of visiting, playing in the river, playing cards, canoe-ing and kayaking. There were 90 plus/minus in attendance. Isn't that awesome! Most of these cousins we--Glen and I and our kids--only get to see once a year. There were representatives from five of the nine children of my grandparents. Both of our children and their families were able to attend this year. It is so much...Jump to full entry

5-16 -29/2012 Smoker Holler RV, Townsend, TN We drove to Smoker Holler RV, near Townsend, TN to camp for a couple of weeks. This is the area of Cades Cove, a valley in the Smoky Mountains that is part of the National Park. Originally, the cove had many small farms, and today there is a one way, 11 mile road around the outside of the valley. The cove still has several one-room churches, old log homes and farm buildings and an old mill. Driving through the park you can always see wildlife, and at times even black bear.

May 26, 2012 - Cades Cove
In Smoky Mountain vernacular a "cove" is a relatively flat valley between mountains or ridges. Cades Cove is an 11-mile, one-way loop that includes some of the most inspiring natural and cultural treasures that the Southern Appalachian Mountains have to offer. On our way to Cades Cove we passed several businesses that offered river rafting and we saw a ton of people with their inner tubes, getting ready to go. Families used the river for the holiday; they found small pools of calm water, set up chairs, put picnic baskets on the bank, and...Jump to full entry

Jul 21, 2011 - Wild Plum Tea Room
Chuck and I drove through the Arts and Crafts Trail in Gatlinburg. While visiting with one shop owner, she not only recommended a great quilt store in Cosby, Tennessee but also suggested we try the Wild Plum Tea Room for lunch. We took her advice on both accounts. The lunch was scrumptious. They started us off with walnut thumb muffins with warm plum jelly. Chuck order shrimp and artichoke pie. It was served in a ramekin topped with pastry. IT came with dill and horseradish pea salad and dill zucchini soup. I tried the strata with dried...Jump to full entry

I sort of find myself feeling the same way about Once Upon a Time.
|Jan 27 2013, 01:52 AM Post #23
thats a little different though because there r so many once upon a time characters we have yet seen.
|Jan 27 2013, 09:01 AM Post #24
|I think Scandal will be the exception and we will get at least 5 or 6 seasons. It's like every episode is a finale episode. Plus a show tends to do well when all the characters are flawed and likable. I wish Deception was like that where the lead is flawed. No one wants to see perfect all the time.. It's not the way the world is.
|Jan 27 2013, 10:02 AM Post #25
|I think this show can last easily for several seasons. The premise is a murder mystery. That's an element you see on any soap opera. Once the murder mystery is solved on a soap, it moves on to other storytelling. This show can do the same. I can see the show delving more into the lives of the Bowers family, maybe we can meet Joanna's ex-husband who abused her, the show can delve more into Will Moreno's character, and also introduce new characters to be intertwined with the current ones. Deception has loads of potential; I'm just sorry that the ratings are so poor.

|The episode was great tonight, I like chemistry between the two lead. I believe she falling for the good doctor again and they will have a second chance together. I can't wait till they get together because you can already sexual tension between the two. If NBC gives it a chance it can last more than 1 season.

You are aware that that story's not true, right? It's just a backstory they made up so the Bowers family would feel sorry for her, and take her in.

I guess I'm in the minority here, but I think this show blows.
There is nothing really different or good about it at all. I have only enjoyed one scene in the 4 or 5 episodes there have been, and it was the scene where what's her name found out Vivian was her mom, and the Cinematic Orchestra song played.

Monday 3/4 show has speed things up, had no idea Sophia Bowers came from a trashy backing & her jailed man Wyatt has added an interesting twist.
Lot of folk compare it to Scandal because it's a black leading woman which is completely off base to me because neither show is like the other. Anyhow I hope it survives.

As we embark on another season in which the Royals look to be competing for fourth place in the American League Central, there were only a few things that we Royals fans had to look forward to. That list got a little shorter yesterday when Danny Duffy decided to walk away from the game.
For those keeping track at home, Duffy's likely retirement makes three pitching prospects widely regarded as Top 10 prospects within the organization that are no longer with the Royals--the other two being Danny Gutierrez and Dan Cortes, who were traded for next to nothing and much worse than nothing, respectively. Now that the organization has systematically dispatched of all top prospects with the Christian name of Daniel, let's hope Dayton Moore & Co. don't decide that the Mikes are next.
With this development and the John Manuel podcast report earlier in the offseason in which the organization was bristling with top pitching prospect Mike Montgomery over his desire to incorporate long-toss into his workout regimen, the pessimist within has to worry about whether or not any of these top-notch pitching prospects will ever pan out. After all, Danny Duffy was arguably the most advanced of any of the Royals' young hurlers up until Wednesday, with only the relatively untested Aaron Crow being as close* to the Majors as Duffy had been.
*Realistically, Crow's age and the fact that he came along through the college ranks likely would have resulted in Crow making it to Kansas City even before Duffy's injury, but now that's all speculation.
It should be noted that Duffy's strained left elbow could surely have been a factor in his decision "to leave baseball at this time to reassess his life priorities,"* despite assertions to the contrary.
*J.J. Picollo quote from a club statement cited in the afore-linked Bob Dutton article in the Star.

The freshness of the fish is the most important element here; if branzino isn't available and at its height of freshness, substitute black bass or red snapper. The salt crust seals in the juices but does not make the fish taste salty. Rubbing the fish with olive oil ensures that the crust will not stick to it, so use more than 3 tablespoons if necessary. Serve the fish with simple roasted potatoes and fresh thyme or with wilted greens. At Komi, the encrusted fish is presented whole and filleted at the table.
Note: Branzino is available at BlackSalt, Cannon's, M. Slavin & Sons and River Falls Seafood and some Whole Foods Markets. It can be special-ordered at Frank's, Harris Teeter stores and Whole Foods.
Servings: 2 - 3
- 1 (1 1/2 to 2 pounds) whole branzino, gutted, scaled and cleaned at the fish market, with gills removed (may substitute black bass or red snapper)*
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil or more if necessary, plus additional to serve at the table
- 6 egg whites
- 2 1/2 cups kosher salt
- 3 lemons, quartered
- Coarse sea salt
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
Rub the entire fish liberally with the oil.
With a hand-held or stand mixer, whip the egg whites until they form soft peaks. Fold in the kosher salt, being careful not to overmix and collapse the egg whites. Spoon one-third of the mixture lengthwise in the center of the prepared baking sheet. Place the fish on top. Spoon the remainder of the salt mixture over the fish to cover it completely. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer the baking sheet to a warm place and let it rest for 15 minutes. Crack and remove the salt crust.
Fillet the fish by peeling off and discarding the skin and removing the cooked fish from above the bones with a spatula or large serving fork, then gently pulling the bones up and away from the fish, exposing the bottom fillet. Serve with plenty of olive oil, quartered lemons and coarse sea salt.

Dear Members,
Keep in mind that Character Bashing is now prohibited. Making fun of certain characters/character pairings leads to a pointless thread filled with insults and general rule breaking.
Also, remember that Versus threads are allowed only in the Versus section.
Thank you, NarutoBase Staff
hashi wins
paths win
i say hashirama he can heal himself realy fast and he has mokuton which should take out the first 5 then he fights deva and he rapes
It isnt even a questin hashi would wreck the pains

Hashi of course.
Hashi does One tree and crushes them.
Pain is so over rated Hashi low difficulty
hashirama kills them without any effort.
Hashirama ftw
Hashi warm up exercise is killing pain so he can get ready to fight a real threat like madara
hashirama would over wreck the pains and wood style nagato :rofl:
Universal Pull
Hashi Mid diff, against cripple Nagato high diff, against fully restored Nagato he gets owned.
6POP = No Contest
Nagato in person < Hashirama by hype mid - high diff
Nagato in person > Hashirama by techniques actual manga
You people do realize mokuton is a ninjutsu? What does hashi do if that gets absorbed? Hype obssessed fools here for the most part.
Hashirama with medium difficulty.
Pain > easily Hashi.

Fixed that for you..now you're using logic.
This Is Like Saying Can Hashi Beat Naruto!! Pointless
no the point is that i dont think pain could take on all five kages at once. Im just using theory to prove that pain cannot beat hashi. Hashi beat Madara hence he was stronger. Madara wiped the floor with the kages. Do you think pain can beat all five kages at once???? highly unlikely since he lost to Naruto who was not even in kyubi mode at the time.

maybe in dream land where featless garbage can defeat city destroyers
who then revive thanks to naraka and cast chibaku tensei
hashiramas a valley creator which surpasses pains power just so you know.

Depending on how often you change the trash and whether you use cloth or disposable diapers, you may invite a lingering stench to the nursery or your kitchen's garbage bin. That's why many moms-to-be choose to pick up a diaper pail to save their sense of smell. Luckily,
My search for the perfect diaper pail is over! The Ubbi Diaper Pail delivers in a stylish and sleek package. No longer does the stench of dirty diapers pervade the baby's room long after the last change. The pail really does seal in the odors. Since it's made of metal, the smell doesn't absorb into the pail like it does with those made out of plastic. The obvious caveat being that when the pail is open the smell naturally escapes and you are reminded why beginning potty training
The Ubbi Diaper Pail deserves words that I never thought I would attribute to a diaper pail – beautiful, sleek and stink-free. Made of stainless steel with rubber gaskets, this pail contains dirty diapers in a way that my previous plastic diaper bin never could. We can now go an entire week from one cloth diaper pickup to the next without having to take the diapers outside midway to avoid the unpleasant smell of accumulating diapers. Even without diapers, the plastic of my
When I asked my friends for recommendations on what diaper pail we should invest in for our first baby, they all had the same response, "The Diaper Dekor Plus is the only way to go." We have been using it for the past 2 weeks and it is definitely on the top of my must-have baby items list. First, its slick design makes it easy on the eyes. It does not look like a typical baby product, making it easier for moms to use after the baby is done with diapers – it converts to a

Homeowners in drought-stricken cities across the southwest of America are being asked to dig up their lawns.
Concerned about the amount of water needed to keep grass looking lush and green, cities from Los Angeles and Las Vegas to Austin, Texas, are pleading with residents to plant their land with drought-resistant cacti and succulents in a move that is dramatically transforming suburban areas.
Residents who hang on to their grass face tough watering restrictions, one day a week in some areas, and stiff fines if their sprinklers are leaking.
"The era of the lawn in the West is over," Paul

Lost on Spirit River
Written by Tommy Batchelor
Illustrations by Kim Reale
Mirror Publishing (November 8, 2010)
156 pages
Lost on Spirit River tells the tale of how cousins Tony and Kathryn, while visiting their grandfather in Flint River, Georgia, became lost during a rare December snow storm. Tony, thirteen, was a model student and athlete until his parents' separation left him bitter, angry, and blaming himself for their problems. Kathryn is a popular, intelligent eleven-year-old, more than willing to help her cousin through this difficult time at home.
The pair, along with their grandfather's aging beagle, set out to find the perfect family Christmas tree. A storm forecast of snow is ignored, as snow in Southern Georgia is unheard of at Christmas. As the children leave the cabin their grandfather warns, "Watch out for the ancient ones."
Kathryn is confident in finding a suitable tree in an area with which she is familiar. Tony doesn't think he needs anyone's help—especially a girl's. He thinks he can find a better tree and leads his cousin further and further away from the cabin. The temperature drops, the snow increases, and the children's light jackets are not enough to keep them warm. They continue their task in weather so bad that the local rescue team refuses to help until the storm ceases.
The children need to find shelter and fast, however visibility is zero and they are tired, cold, and hungry. Both Tony and Kathryn sense that someone or something is in the forest with them and that perhaps their grandfather's warning about ancient ones was more than an attempt at humor.
Tommy Batchelor has written an entertaining young adult novel with a multi-pronged message. He uses suspense and adventure to capture his audience's attention while making his point without preaching. Cooperation to achieve a common goal is presented in a way that pre-teens will understand and relate to easily. Readers are treated to a glimpse of the spirit world of ancient native tribes in a way that will stir imaginations to want to know more about early American civilizations. Children from homes where separation and divorce is reality will identify with Tony and his situation. The dialogue is crisp and well suited to the age group. The characters are well developed and Tony shows growth and maturity at the end. Kim Reale's illustrations solidify the images already created by Batchelor's exceptional ability to describe scenes and setting.
Highly Recommended by William Potter for Reader's Choice Book Reviews.

Those sweet grass rods
May 26, 2011 —
In June 2004, I began the fishing column that I write for The River Reporter with this sentence: "I'm in love again, head over heels in love again." Readers were momentarily startled by this seemingly public confession of being unfaithful. As they read further they found my new love was seven and one half feet tall and weighed only four ounces. I had gone back to casting an old, long-unused, five-strip bamboo fly rod made by that maverick among rod makers, Nat Uslan. The sweet feeling of casting that rod made me wonder why on earth I had forsaken bamboo for graphite these many years. Barb and I had simply allowed ourselves to be swept up in the graphite revolution. Lighter, faster, newer, better than those old hat bamboo rods. As the song goes from "Porgy and Bess," "it ain't necessarily so."
May I pour you two fingers of John Jameson Irish Whiskey while I elucidate? Glass, graphite and bamboo can all be used to manufacture fly rods. Glass and graphite rods are coldly efficient, mass-marketed tools produced by the thousands. Every year we are bombarded with advertisements touting the superiority of the latest models. In contrast, the majority of bamboo fly rods are made in small one- or two-man shops. The men who work in these shops are truly engaged in the pursuit of perfection. They take pride in putting their names on the rods they produce. These rods are naturally more expensive than mass produced products.
Take another sip of that fine Irish whiskey as I point out a major difference between graphite and bamboo rods. If you sell your graphite rod after years of use, you will get far less than you paid for it. A bamboo fly rod from a maker with a fine reputation will either hold its initial value or in many cases will appreciate in value. Does that statement leave you skeptical? In the last five years I have sold four bamboo rods that originally cost between $200 and $250 in the early '60s. I fished them for decades, yet when I sold them they brought me between $2,500 and $3,100. Buying a fine bamboo fly rod is an investment that will not only give you years of pleasure but may well allow you a profit when you wish to sell it. Try doing that with a graphite rod.
I am sure you have been told that bamboo rods are fine if you only need to cast 30 feet. Now, I am a very average caster, which is why I refer to myself as "the complete tangler." I can, however, reach out to 60 measured feet with only a tiny little single haul, using any of the bamboo rods that I fish with. I should add, that even on the Main Stem of the mighty Delaware, I hook nearly all of my trout within 40 feet of my wading position.

State Water Resources Research Institute Program
Project Id: 2010MD207B
Title: Source Characterization of Contamination by Poly- and Per-fluorinated Chemicals (PFCs) in Maryland Waterways
Project Type: Research
Start Date: 2/01/2010
End Date: 1/31/2011
Congressional District: 5
Focus Categories: Non Point Pollution, Surface Water, Toxic Substances
Keywords: Perfluorochemicals, source apportionment, nonpoint pollution, wastewater, urban inputs
Principal Investigator: Liu, Jinxia (Chesapeake Biological Laboratory, University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science)
Federal Funds: $ 26,895
Non-Federal Matching Funds: $ 54,175
Abstract: Poly- and per-fluorinated alkyl chemicals (PFCs) have been emerging as global environmental contaminants and in some areas of the United States water resources have been negatively impacted with significant changes to be implemented to drinking water supply and groundwater recharge practice. Perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) and perfluorooctane carboxylate (PFOA) have been listed as drinking water contaminant candidates by U.S. EPA and strict drinking water standards have been proposed. Although industrial activities are major point pollution sources, non-point urban and suburban sources are especially significant in dissemination of these persistent and toxic chemicals because of decadal usage of PFCs in consumer products. No data is yet available regarding to sources, loads and spatial profiles of PFC contamination in Maryland Waterways heavily influenced by rapid urban development. The environmental behaviors of PFCs are very different from other known halogenated organic contaminants due to their unique properties imparted by strong C-F bonding. Their high solubility and great mobility determine water columns as major sinks rather than sediments. Past studies have shown very diverse contamination profiles across various geographic regions suggesting complex sources and transport mechanisms.
In lieu of the complexity of PFC contamination and lack of any data in Maryland waters, the project is proposed to provide broad-scale baseline levels of PFCs in Maryland waterways in most indicative areas. The objectives of the project are to identify the general pattern of PFC contamination in the region, assess the relative inputs from different point and nonpoint sources, and evaluate the contributions from fluorotelomer compounds to total PFC loads. Water samples from all designated sites will be collected for measurement of eighteen PFC chemicals using state-of-art analytical techniques, and related water quality data will be generated. The work will specifically identify PFCs originated from two different chemistries and manufacturing processes using process-specific marker compounds, which were not performed prior because of poor knowledge of marker compounds.
The data generated in the project is needed for the State of Maryland to be prepared for regulations that US EPA will put into place in the future to tackle PFC contamination issue. The approach of using process-specific marker compounds has important implication for future monitoring efforts across the nation and will be especially useful for making regulatory decisions regarding to continuous use of fluorotelomer compounds. In addition to provide much needed data on current status of micropollutants in Maryland waters, the project also has the potential to impact research areas related to water and wastewater treatment, biosolids land application, storm water management, ground water recharge and fish consumption advisory. These areas are all facing the challenge of dealing with new suites of emerging organic contaminants, including PFCs.

Notes on Digital Detroit
Enjoy them on your own time.
For Chapter Five: 8 Mile.
1957. Herbert Simon. Models of Man.
Some key principles from Simon on decision making:
The principle of bounded rationality (198).
"Organizations are the least 'natural,' most rationally contrived units of human association" (199).
Bounded rationality is a social concern. It is based on humans' limitations in the "ability to agree on goals, to communicate, and to cooperate that organizing becomes for them a 'problem'" (199). Bounded rationality highlights "the limits of humans as mechanisms for computation and choice" (200).
"They key to the simplification of the choice process in both cases is the replacement of the goal of maximizing with the goal of satisficing, of finding a course of action that is 'good enough'" (205).
McLuhan's 1957 "Speed and Change" hints at the question of choice in the age of digital communication. Like Virilio long after him, McLuhan's concerns are with the speed of information. Unlike Virilio, McLuhan does not frame speed and decision making in terms of a crisis. The age of speed is the age of the "do it yourself" information society, McLuhan claims. The Web 2.0-ishness of this late '50s claim is hard to ignore. In 1957, McLuhan's thoughts are with satellites (the basis of the global village) and various new media entertainment systems: TV, film, radio. Among them, the drive-in, one would think (though it is never mentioned in Understanding Media), would play a significant role. The drive-in is part of a larger 1950s network of information organization. For the so-called Web 2.0 moment we currently experience in the 21st century, this sense of media networks extends to the decision making "do it yourself" culture requires. Rather than park in front of the screen (the drive-in), the user is the screen (as McLuhan once wrote about TV).
Still, Bel-Air, located on Detroit's 8 Mile road, would have been an attractive space for McLuhan. More than just a drive-in, it was a complex of interactive activity centered around children: a kiddie playground, a merry go round, a railroad for kids. The metaphoric screen, then, is the space where a number of activities occur at once, and users play with "rational" decisions regarding which to engage with, in what order, and what moment. Even in the space of the drive-in, there is some semblance of do-it-yourself. The one movie never shown at the Bel-Air is 8 Mile. What makes 8 Mile interesting to the study of space and the network is that it ends on the question of decision making. What does Rabbit do now that he won the rap-off? Pursue a career in rap? Go back to the factory? Enjoy his victory? Shrug his shoulders and return to the city?
This is where Simon's work on bounded rationality seems relevant. What is the course of action that is "good enough" here? What role is the viewer expected to play here, to "do-it-herself" in understanding Rabbit's gesture?

The Nintendo Wii has fallen from number one to the number three console. Coming in third usually isn't something to be upset about but the Wii is number three out of three. It has been the top-selling console almost every month since its release in 2006 but its reign as king of the consoles appears to be over.
When the system first came out in 2006 it was impossible to find. I was working at a Best Buy in 2007, and on days we had the Wii in stock, they brought in extra security because of the rabid customers. It was the must-have item months after it debuted. But times have changed.
A recent article in the LA Times revealed the Wii's sales for the first ten months of 2010 were down 24% from 2009. Sales for Microsoft's Xbox 360 are up 34% and Sony's PS3 are up 14%.
Microsoft and Sony can both thank their newly released contributions to motion controls for the sales bump. Casual gamers are why the Wii sold so well before, but with Kinect and Move, Microsoft and Sony are tapping into the same pool of gamers who previously only saw the Wii as an option.
Nintendo is now focusing on late-adopters, people who haven't joined the console party. Nintendo did enjoy high Black Friday sales, selling more than 600,000 Wii consoles.
Will it be possible for the Wii to become number one again this holiday season?

Hey everyone! Happy Monday!
Here is the last workout for this year's Summer Shape Up. It's a hodge podge of the previous workouts… and it's a doozy 🙂 You should be totally ready to bust it out if you've been doing the program so far.
Have fun!
The SSU 2010 Workouts are set up differently from previous Shape Ups.

I make these on a flat loom in a random manner. Each one is truly unique and I have made them in many colours,of all differnet materials. Its a good way of using your ort pot, because it dosent matter what length the bits are. I have also found that by weaving in a "loose" manner produces a real textured and 3D effect when the scarf is taken off. If it is tight, then it produces a "flatter" finish.

Wow - I thought perhaps you had nuno felted the scarf then needle felted the decorative yarns onto it - but no, it's woven. Lovely and outrageous. Well done. Thank you for sharing
I love this the colors and the texture. A lovely scarf. Hugs Elaine
Great piece of art
The scarf is very pretty. Does it stay securely woven when it's worn, or does it ever lose fibers? Forgive me if this is a rude question to ask a weaver; I know absolutely nothing at all about weaving.
I love all the colours and textures in this,Julia.
great texture and love your colour mix
Lovely mix of colors going on there!

At Mercury we are custom suppliers and adhesive tape, printed packaging tape manufacturers. We manufacture a large selection of adhesive tape and custom printed tape and printed packaging tape in assorted thickness's, adhesive printed tape and styles, available in both stock and custom sizes - the commonly used and normal size of 50mm printed tape is readily available to buy custom made with your logo to enhance the look of your company's packaging. However if you require your adhesive tape in custom rolls of different sized adhesive printed tape or box tape and you have something in particular that your printed tape measures, then this is not a problem for us to produce either as we manufacture 100's of sizes of box tape from stock.
Printed Parcel And Packaging Tape (Logo Tape)
Having adhesive tape and printed tape custom printed and produced for your company is a great, cheap and very attractive way to advertise your company's image on packing and on delivery of your goods, instead of using the standard buff coloured tape. For very little cost your products and company deliveries can be personalised with the simple addition of printed logo tape being applied to your boxes, not to mention that the main purpose of printed tape is to ensure your boxes, packaging and sealing remains secure, adhesive tape that has been produced bespoke to your design is a great way to achieve this.
Using your corporate Logo, your web address or any other information you require on the adhesive tape, designing and printing your printed parcel tape is easy and you will end up with a quality looking box tape.
Simply email or post us your logo along with the details you would like to appear on your printed tape and our design team will do the rest, or simply call our friendly printed packaging tape design team and we will talk you through this simple process of getting your own custom printed tape rolls designed. Once you have decided what information you require displayed on your printed packaging tape then we will produce a full colour proof which is sent over to you by email. This will show you exactly the details the are going to be printed on your custom tape. Following the proof stage once you have approved the design that will appear on your printed packaging tape we will produce the product. You can have your printed parcel tape manufactured on several types of material, such as vinyl and Polypropylene in various grades and also reduced noise selections too, which can be of particular benefit for large packing or distribution business that can get quite noisy. The base colours we use is white, clear and also buff tape. We can print buff tape, white and also the clear option in anything up to 3 colours, plus we can also supply the logo tape dispenser guns if any of our customers require these also. We are not just custom printed tape suppliers, we like to think that we offer a full and easy service from start to finish.
You can order as little as one box of printed parcel tape from us, a single box of printed packaging tape contains 36 rolls of the normal 50mm sized logo tape. It is our company's aim to only manufacture top grade products and printed tape is no exception as the material we use are of the highest standard, ensuring that the tape is fit for the job in hand without stretching or snapping.
From the start of the process you do have a choice of adhesive tape materials to choose from, such as white, clear or brown. Depending on the colour of your packaging one of these then printed with your company logo and details will give the professional look your company deserves, it certainly measures up in the eyes of your customers. Using the white adhesive tape our studio can flood coat the printed tape with any background colour you may require, we can also reverse print the adhesive tape, which means that your logo, name or any text can be reversed out of any particular background colour.
In addition to logo packaging tape we are now suppliers of printed barrier logo tape. Barrier tape is a none adhesive tape. it is supplied custom printed on rolls for creating a barrier, not unlike police barrier or crowd tape.

Invention helps arm patients for the future
STERLING - Imagine spending your whole life knowing that it's only a matter of time before you lose control of all of your muscle groups one by one. It is expected that by your early teen years you will be confined to a motorized wheelchair. Living past 20 is unlikely.
Then an amazing thing happens. You meet a group of young men who are about to offer you back some of your independence.
Michael Scarsella of Sterling is one of the young men with the key to that freedom. A graduate student at WPI, he recently received the Kalenian Award, named for inventor Aram Kalenian, for developing a motorized brace that enables people suffering from muscular dystrophy to perform simple tasks with their hands. The award includes a $25,000 grant to be used to further develop the product and bring it to market.
Scarsella was on a team with faculty member Allen Hoffman, a fellow Sterling resident and professor of mechanical engineering and co-founder of WPI's Assistive Technology Resource Center, and Steven Toddes '05 of Gettysburg, Penn.
The idea first came to fruition through a senior project the two young men were required to complete in order to earn their undergraduate degrees.
"When we received first place from a panel of external judges for our senior project we began to get the inkling that this may go further," Scarsella said. "We were asked to come back as graduate students and continue to work on the brace."
The brace, called an arm orthosis, grew out of a series of WPI student projects conducted for the Massachusetts Hospital School in Canton, where student teams have been working on rehabilitation engineering projects since 1989.
"With the brace on, patients can lift up to three pounds. A joystick, held with the free hand, is used to operate motors that flex the arm at the elbow and rotate it to direct the hand where it is needed," Scarsella says.
Scarsella has worked with Gary Rabideau, director of rehabilitation engineering at the hospital, as well as patients living with the disease. "We met with two young boys at the
beginning of the project and they thought it was a great idea. At the end of the project we met with one of them again and he was thrilled - of course with the technology, what 13-year-old boy doesn't think robots are cool - but he got to control his arm motions for the first time in years. It was very gratifying to see him use the product."
With muscular dystrophy, patients lack a chemical known as dyftrophin that keeps muscle cells intact. Without the chemical the muscle groups break down one by one eventually landing the patient in a wheelchair.
"The interesting thing is they do maintain the dexterity in their hands. So, for example, they can pick up a cup of water but not sip from it," Scarsella said. "Our intention was to use that dexterity to offer them back some independence.
"The motorized brace fits over the arm of a patient and allows them to now take the sip of water by offering them two degrees of freedom, one at the elbow and the other at the humerus."
Essentially, the brace becomes the missing muscles and offers the patient back some freedom to do simple tasks like feed themselves and brush their teeth.
Although this product has been tried before, this is the first time it is not wheelchair-based, according to Scarsella. He now has a patent pending on the technology.
"This device could have quite an impact," he said.

Bryant Tops Robert Morris in NEC Opener
from press release
SMITHFIELD, R.I. – Juniors Kimberley Sniffen (Redding, Conn.) and Haley Bloom (Hauppauge, N.Y.) each scored four goals while classmate Lisa Vendel (Sandy Hook., Conn.) chipped in three more as the Bryant University women's lacrosse team started off Northeast Conference play on the right foot with a 13-7 victory over Robert Morris on the road in the league opener Friday.
The Bulldogs (4-3, 1-0 NEC) trailed, 1-0, early after an opening goal from Robert Morris (4-4, 0-1) midfielder Emily Jamison, but the Black and Gold would even the score less a minute later before taking over the lead at the 22:03 mark and never looked back.
Sniffen, Bloom and Vendel gave the visitors the 3-1 advantage midway through the opening frame before Jamison notched her second of the game to close the gap to just one with 14:45 to go, but Bryant would rip off five-straight goals – two of them from Bloom – from there to extend its lead to 8-2 with less than five remaining on the first-frame clock.
Brittany Byerly got the Colonials back on the board with an unassisted goal at the 3:44 mark, but Sniffen would give herself a first-half hat trick with 1:39 left to send the Bulldogs into the break leading, 9-3.
RMU drew first blood in the second stanza, but rookie Morgan LaBarbera (New Fairfield, Conn.) and Bloom scored consecutive unaided goals less than a minute apart to give the visitors a seven-goal advantage just more than 10 minutes in.
The Colonials would score three more times in the final 15 minutes, but Vendel and Sniffen would also tack on their final goals for the 13-7 final margin.
Junior goalie Brianna Watt (Babylon, N.Y.) made eight stops to get the win for the Black and Gold, and Bryant outshot Robert Morris, 22-21, despite losing the margin for both ground balls, 16-11, and draw controls, 14-8. The Bulldogs went an impressive 6-of-7 on free position shots, including a perfect 4-for-4 mark from Sniffen, and got six caused turnovers on the day.
The Bulldogs remain in the Keystone State for their next outing, traveling to Loretto, Pa., for a Sunday matchup against Saint Francis U. (12 p.m.).

Charleston, W.Va. – West Virginia Secretary of State Natalie E. Tennant said her thoughts and prayers are with the family of Barbour County House of Delegates candidate John Rose, who was killed Tuesday during the snowstorm resulting from Hurricane Sandy.
This unfortunate accident opens a special write-in candidate filing period. Those forms must be received by the Secretary of State's Office before 5:00PM on Thursday, November 1.
There will be a sign posted at all precincts in the 47th Delegate District informing voters that Mr. Rose has passed away.
However, according to state code it is too late to replace Mr. Rose's name on the General Election ballot. Voters will still be able to cast their ballot for him during early voting and on Election Day. If he gets the most votes, citizens will have elected a vacancy and the Republican party executive committee of Barbour County will submit three names to Governor Earl Ray Tomblin and he will select a nominee to serve House District 47.

JUDGE, Shirley Ann (née HIBBERD)
Social worker, feminist, professor, partner, lover of books, gardens and road trips. Born September 22, 1938, in Surrey, England. Died February 4 in Ottawa of colon cancer, aged 69.
By Helen LEVINE and Donna JOHNSON, Page L6
In many ways, Shirley JUDGE came at the world in an old-fashioned British way. She was independent, courageous and outspoken, but had a certain personal reserve.
Born Shirley Ann HIBBERD, she was the responsible eldest of four girls raised in wartime England. Her earliest memories were of food rations, victory gardens, billeted Canadian soldiers and hiding in the "bomb shelter" under the stairs when air-raid sirens sounded.
A top-flight high-school student who dreamed of studying history at Oxford, Shirley was streamed into social work at the University of Bristol, a course of study "befitting a woman." Her first job was in a mining community. By age 23 she was co-ordinating adoptions for an entire county.
Shirley married in 1963, immigrating with her husband to Ottawa, where she worked in child welfare at the Children's Aid Society. The marriage ended after seven years. Shirley formed an enduring bond with Henry HOMONICK.
She became a highly respected psychiatric social worker at Ottawa's Queensway Carleton Hospital. When the head of her department died suddenly and a less-qualified male colleague was appointed as interim director, Shirley resigned in protest.
She joined the faculty of Carleton University's school of social work, teaching and organizing the graduate field placement program. The school's structural feminist approach fit with her convictions about social justice and women's equality. On the side she ran a small counselling practice and acted on the boards of various women's organizations.
Shirley had a lifelong love of learning. She earned a pilot's licence, was an expert gardener, took courses in retirement, belonged to a book club, and travelled. She was a member of a feminist "envisioning" group - nine women who met regularly for potluck suppers and discussions both personal and political.
She met her terminal diagnosis with true British grit and humour. She wanted full information and choices, including the option to die with dignity. In the end she fought to stay alive, for in spite of chemo, pain and loss of energy, Shirley found riches and meaning in the last year of her life. Dying was a kind of intense road trip in a foreign land, and she lived it fully, opening up about her fears, joys and hopes in a way she had never done before.
Her final project was audiotaping her experience of dying for Canadian Broadcasting Corporation Radio. At meetings, at parties, at chemo sessions or alone in the middle of a sleepless night, the tape recorder came out. Shirley loved having a project that challenged her and gave a sense of purpose to her dying.
Helen LEVINE and Donna JOHNSON are Shirley's Friends.

Crohn's, Colitis, and a Couple of Congressmen
Andrew with Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr.
I have spent a fair amount of time in legislators' offices sharing the perspective of one living with IBD in the hope that it will help them make informed choices when faced with shaping the future of our disease and others. The most common hesitation we hear from lawmakers is that supporting disease-specific legislation and funding appears to be too specialized an interest. We point out that other inflammatory and autoimmune conditions share many traits, medications, and treatments with Crohn's and colitis. As a result, research for one commonly benefits the others. Plus, when we tell people about our Crohn's or colitis diagnosis, the listeners' reactions almost always reveal other connections they have to IBD. And certainly illness affects more than just the patients—family, friends, coworkers and others are impacted. So the scope of IBD legislation isn't restricted to a mere subset of the population; rather it likely benefits us all in some way.
Through political advocacy we can educate our leaders, help them understand what we go through and the support we need, and encourage them to enact change that helps us all. I have profound respect for all who work to this end, both our leaders and those whose efforts keep them informed.
Several such legislators come to mind. Congressmen Ander Crenshaw and Jesse Jackson Jr. joined forces to create the new Crohn's & Colitis Caucus in Congress this year, and had introduced the IBD Research and Awareness Act in the previous congress. Senator Harry Reid had also done similar work with a parallel bill in the U.S. Senate. All three of these leaders are working across party lines on our behalf. In 2009 Ander Crenshaw and I talked after he addressed a Crohn's & Colitis Foundation (CCFA) event in Washington. At that opening reception for IBD Day on the Hill, he spoke eloquently about the need for advancing medical research, and he shared with me a personal connection—that his daughter suffers from Crohn's disease. The following year, I met Jesse Jackson Jr. when he spoke at the same event, pledging his continued support. He too has a personal connection to IBD, as a lead staffer in his office is a Crohn's patient.
Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. in his Prius
I was gratified by this in several ways. Certainly for the first time in my life I felt like an elected leader was truly acting based on my influence… and not merely because a driver must always do this for a pedestrian in a crosswalk. More importantly, this was a nine-term US Congressman, and he was excited to see us. It indicated to me how serious he really is about supporting the cause. To realize that he remembered us from the night before, and felt compelled to cheer for us, touched my heart. It renewed in me the faith that there are leaders who do listen, who do care, and who do take action and speak out on our behalf. And they can also step in as cheerleaders and caretakers when we need them to. Bravo.

Melody Shadix and her son, Koda, arrived in the Polunsky Unit in Livingston on Wednesday with front row seats waiting.
After a three-hour drive from Greenville, they were in the heart of Texas death row to see justice done - hopefully right this time, Shadix said.
Thirteen years earlier, John Balentine, now 42, of Amarillo, shot point-blank Shadix's son and Koda's brother, Kai Geyer, 15, while he was asleep. To eliminate any witnesses, Balentine shot Mark Caylor, 17, and Steve Watson, 15, who were also in the house.
Balentine - convicted of the killings in 1999 by a Potter County jury - was scheduled to die that afternoon. He had been on death row since 1999, and numerous state and federal appellate courts denied a slew of petitions from Balentine's attorneys to stay his execution.
It was Shadix's first trip to death row. She could not bring herself to attend Balentine's first scheduled execution in 2009.
"I was angry because I wasn't with my child when he died," Shadix said, weeping. "Why should I be with him (Balentine)?"
That time, her daughter, who was driving to the Polunsky Unit, called her to say the execution had been halted on account of the 5th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals. That stay was eventually lifted, and he was placed back on the state's execution schedule.
This time, more than a decade after her son's death, she was ready to watch her child's murderer die. It was not going to happen this time, either.
An hour before he was scheduled to die, Balentine won a reprieve Wednesday from the U.S. Supreme Court. The move will now postpone his execution indefinitely until the high court decides its next move. The court's next session begins in October.
Shadix was notified, and she stopped in her tracks.
"It didn't go real well," she said. "We were very upset about it. They (Polunsky officials) sort of let us calm down a little bit and then we left."
Shadix had no qualms about anything anymore.
"He's guilty," she said. "He's admitted he's guilty. I don't know what childhood he had. I think he ought to answer for his actions, and he was convicted by a jury of his peers. He's been in trouble all his life, and I think it's time for him to go."
Balentine's attorney, Lydia Brandt, of Richardson, has been involved in the case since 2004. She knows it is an uphill battle, and that the only alternative for Balentine is life behind bars. That did not stop her from furiously filing petitions to have any court with jurisdiction stay the execution.
"At least right now, John is alive," Brandt said after hearing the news.
She has long argued that Balentine's counsel during the initial trial and during a post-conviction habeas hearing was ineffective.
Balentine's habeas attorney, Kent Birdsong, could have conducted a new investigation and introduced evidence on Balentine's behalf. Birdsong, a prosecutor in Oldham County, later admitted not knowing what he was doing.
"But at the time of my appointment to represent Mr. Balentine, I did not know that I needed to conduct a mitigation investigation and provide evidence in the form of affidavits or institutional records about Mr. Balentine's medical history, family and social history, educational history, employment and training history, and prior juvenile and adult correctional experience," Birdsong wrote in an affidavit this month.
It was the only time since Balentine's conviction that his attorney could have raised new issues on an appeal, and he did nothing.
If Balentine's state-appointed attorneys did their jobs correctly, they would have found sufficient mitigating evidence about Balentine's childhood of poverty and cognitive issues that would have persuaded at least one juror to vote against a death sentence, Brandt said.
"Very simply, Mr. Balentine's trial counsel rested without putting on a single witness to support a life sentence, so he got death," she said.
For Shadix and Balentine, who have never spoken, the past decade has been a series of scheduled execution dates, appeals and reprieves.
Still, there is no telling how much longer this case will be remain pending, said Patrick Metze, an associate professor at the Texas Tech University School of Law.
Essentially, the Balentine case is on hold until the U.S. Supreme Court decides an Arizona case with the same constitutional question.
In the Arizona case, a man was convicted of two counts of sexual conduct with a person under 15 years old, resulting in two consecutive terms of 35 years to life in prison.
In both cases, the men had state habeas attorneys who did nothing to appeal the convictions with new evidence when they had the chance.
The high court must now decide if the U.S. Constitution requires defendants to have competent counsel during the highly specific process of habeas hearings.
It is a difficult job, Metze said. Attorneys must train specifically to take up these cases, and undertaking hundreds of hours of investigative work with little pay for one case can turn off many lawyers, he said.
In 1996, the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals hosted a free seminar to train lawyers to address habeas petitions.
"They (the court) became interested in the problem, I think, because there were so many of the writs that weren't done properly," he said.
The state's highest criminal court was bracing for "a blitz" of habeas cases, which were handed to untrained attorneys, Metze said.
It is impossible to know how many cases like Balentine's are languishing across the country. But it is an issue bound for the Supreme Court, eventually, because it strikes at the core of our national values, Metze said.
"The struggle here is between trying to do the right thing in a system that is designed to kill its citizens," he said. "If you're going to have a death penalty, what is the proper procedure?"

There are a number of connections I can think of. There is logic, as you have already mentioned. Another connection is cryptography. Cryptography uses some fairly high-powered number theory, which in turn uses abstract algebra.
Another connection is grammars, context-free grammars, etc.
I am by no means an expert here. You might ask for emakarov's opinion as well. I bet he could weigh in on this question profitably.

Sandbox security limits CFML code from being accessed by code outside the sandbox. It was found that CFML templates could invoke ColdFusion components (CFCs) outside its sandbox. There is a hot fix available to fix this issue in ColdFusion MX 7.0.1.
Note: This issue is not fixed in ColdFusion MX 7.0.0. You must upgrade to ColdFusion MX 7.0.1 and then apply the hot fix. Alternatively, you can upgrade to ColdFusion MX 7.0.2, which already includes the fix.
