Edge design + the way things are
Jean Louis Frechin's Thoughts

Agamben exhorts us to turn the apparatus against itself, to take it over, to 'desecrate' it, to free ourselves from its bondage. We must become players rather than mere vectors. We see a utopia shaping up here, so necessary in the disenchanted world of the 'end of History'. There will be neither winner nor loser there, but rather a perpetual unbalance, capable of impelling the motor of History in us. Faced as we are with apparatus and things, rather than reject them we should exploit them, turn them into series, sidetrack and subvert them. But that will not be enough: merchandise itself already uses these same procedures. What we must do above all is propose new things that are reasoned and related to other senses and values than those that they relay without our knowing it. We must conceive of these things in terms of political economy, by bringing together usage and meaning, utility and lastingness, pleasure and reason, the individual and the social fabric, power and knowledge. In short, we must invent them to invite exchanges. Only then, perhaps, and provided they become mediators in these ways, will objects exist once more to serve us.

Jean-Louis Fréchin is a DPLG architect and a graduate of the ENSCI, where he trained under Yves Savinel, Gilles Rozé and Marc Berthier. In 1989 he left France to work at the INESC, a computer research institute in Lisbon. There he discovered the fertility of drawing together design and computer science. On his return to Paris, he set up a global design partnership with Stéphane Bureaux, handling many industrial and cultural projects. In 1995, he joined the publishers Montparnasse Multimedia to take part in the adventure of producing quality multimedia titles. His work is always based on the idea of global design and aims at making an intrinsic link between content, interactive design and technology - at creating meaning. Many of his creations have won prizes: notably series like « Les petits débrouillards », « La Terre merveilleuse », « L'histoire de l'aviation », « Le Louvre, Collections et palais », « La Résistance », etc.
In 2001 he set up NoDesign, a digital design office specializing in creation, innovation and strategic thinking for information technologies, interactions and user protocols in industrial and cultural projects. A recognized front-runner in digital design, he is also a consultant for firms in new fields: innovation by design, advanced technologies, innovation strategy. Founder and head of the Digital design studio at the ENSCI / les Ateliers in Paris in 1998, it is there that he passes on his experience, culture, insatiable curiosity and 'project' method. For him, design is a state, a prism for understanding and questioning the world. New challenges, new territories, attempting to enlarge the 'scope of what is possible' and 'desirable', without losing the basic values of design; meaning, simplicity, emotion, and above all human endeavour.

New to Vintage - any advice?
I decided to refocus my PC on Vintage graded PSA 7 or better. I have a fairly large current PC, but I'm getting bored with it, so decided to switch it up. I'm going to try for PSA 7 or better for HOFers from 50s, 60s, 70s. Was going to try to get Aaron, Mays, Mantle, Clemente, Rose, Maris, Kaline, and a few others from each set. Any advice? I'm new to Vintage. Would it make more sense to go for PSA 8? What are some things I should look for? I'm starting with 67 Topps Baseball.

On the other hand - I'd be very leery of who I picked up raw HOF from - graded you know what you're getting and if you are so inclined you can crack out of the case. Vintage psa 7 HOF will get expensive from 50's. As far as advice, I'd just say the norm - buy the card and not the grade.

There is no such a thing as a non graded NM or better CENTERED vintage HOF card on Ebay from the 50's or 60's. It's not 100% true, but it will save you far more times than it will hurt you. Also, even non stars and commons from the 50's in better than EX/M condition should be looked at with a degree of skepticism especially if they're being offered for sale by a dealer who has a healthy collection of other such level players graded for sale.
As far as 1967, be aware high graded Red Sox from that year are at a premium. |

My first vintage pickup. Looking to add the Maris, Mantle, Aaron, Kaline, Rose, and Mays next.
Got it for $150, not sure if that's a good deal or not. Could have got the PSA 7 for $130, but spent the extra $20 for the 7.5 1967 Topps Roberto Clemente 400 PSA 7 5 | eBay |

SGC's holders are much nicer, since the card is displayed against a black background, and SGC has a much better reputation than PSA.
PSA has engaged in all sorts of shenanigans, including, but not limited to, artificially boosting grades for high-volume submitters. |

I wouldn't go so far to say SGC has a better reputation. Here's the basic scoop as I see it on grading:
(1) PSA - Because it's the original big time grading company, it has a name value to it that people rely on to the detriment of the other two big grading companies (too much in my opinion at times). In terms of grading, I don't think it's any more reliable than any other grading company in terms of the grades it assigns, it's all over the map and their holders suck in terms of protecting the card, but they are considered better than at least Beckett at catching uncut sheet cards and trimmed cards (though I've had my doubts about this for a long time and wonder if this isn't PSA guys just promulgating a myth since they have so many PSA cards themselves). With that said there are plenty of PSA graded cards that don't belong in their holders in both directions. (2) SGC - Where people send pre war cards as well as more modern "vintage" cards with noticeable centering and/or surface issues. SGC is as tough as anyone on corners and edges and more consistent with their overall grading IMHO, but they pretty much seem to ignore a lot of centering issues as well as print dots, etc. A lot of vintage cards that dealers think would get a O/C or PD qualifier at PSA are sent to SGC. IMHO they are the best overall at detecting alterations in terms of vintage and least subject to undue influence by higher volume submitters. (3) BGS/BVG : In terms of vintage, they don't get a lot of credit, but the original reason is not what some would have you believe, i.e. that PSA is simply better, it's that they actually initially graded dealer's cards too tough, and dealers weren't going to have any of that!, so they've been shilling PSA ever since. Once BVG was invented, some of their tougher standards went away, and they have long been suspected of being the company most likely to grade older uncut sheet cards, but I don't know if it's been proven consistently. They are pretty tough on centering and surface as they don't have qualifiers, and I've never seen a BVG 7 or higher card I thought was ridiculously overgraded (unlike with PSA's crapshoot), but people have not seemed to buy into the idea that Beckett can accurately grade or vouch for the unaltered nature of vintage cards. If a big time dealer is selling a high end vintage card in a BVG holder there is a reason, given the price differentials realized vs. PSA, it's just not always clear to me what that is. |

SNAP stands for Spay Neuter Assistance Program, which is exactly what we do. We try to assist anyone who needs financial assistance to spay or neuter a pet.
Each year our community shelters euthanize thousands of animals. This does not include feral cats or strays killed by cars, starvation, disease, wild animals, and farmers protecting livestock.
We all know of the tremendous and heartbreaking waste that takes place daily in animal shelters, not only in our area, but nationwide. SNAP's founders wanted to see the number of homeless dogs and cats in our area decline, so we decided to make a difference.
Other groups have stepped up spay/neuter efforts in recent years. The Castaway Animal Rescue Effort (CARE) alters every animal before adoption, including puppies and kittens. Thankfully, many local veterinarians have supported the efforts of charitable groups by performing thousands of surgeries at reduced rates.
We find those pet owners who need our services through outreach efforts. We also work with pet owners who have acquired large numbers of pets from strays or dumped animals that continually reproduced.
We work with young families just starting out and with senior citizens. Pet owners who have used our program talk with their neighbors to encourage, and in many cases, pay for other pets who need to be fixed.
We work with home health care professionals who assist their clients in arranging surgeries and transporting pets to veterinary clinics. Finally, we have the veterinarians themselves, who recommend our program when their clients need help.
As public awareness of our program increases, we are establishing a solid base of donor support. The challenge is to insure that donations keep pace with the demand. The beneficiaries of our program frequently tell us, "thank you so much for helping me...without your program, I would not be able to have my animal fixed, and I really want to be a responsible pet owner."

My last trucking job was two years ago with Melton running flatbed. I'd like to get back into flatbedding or a van company that runs SE regional.
Wouldn't mind taking a refresher or riding seat with someone for a bit until a company feels confident in me taking over solo again. I also wouldn't mind running OTR as long as it was leading to SE regional.
I have a clean MVR and will pass a physical with little concern. Just need to get running again! Contact me if you might have an opportunity for me.

Proven 15KW into Single Phase 240v
by Tony Smith

Proven 15KW into Single Phase 240v
Speaking to one of the installers at the agricultural show, he reckoned that it was quite possible to connect a Proven 15 up to household 24) on a single phase, and that they had done a few installations on that basis.
I wondered how commonplace this was nowadays. I would have thought that the 60 odd amps would be too much.
Anyone had experience of this sort of installation? What sort of voltage rise would you get on the 240V

Putting the "US" Back in "Virus"
So this morning, I navigated to this page to see what lovely comments had been left by my threes of readers, and I got a popup warning from my virus scanner that two instances of the actns/swif.t virus had been detected and deleted.
Naturally, I crapped my pants. After that was cleaned up, I poked around looking for information on this virus. Unfortunately, it's a relatively new thing and there's not much out there. I suspect it was just added to the virus definition files on the last update.
The problem was a couple of videos that I had embedded from Youtube. The videos themselves weren't infected. It was just the HTML code that was being flagged and deleted every time the page was loaded.
I finally found this info on the actns/swif.t virus on AntivirusConnection.com:
The Actns/Swif.T has been a tricky one. It seems this virus has just recently spawned, causing computers to show a embedded shockwave/flashplayer file within IE/Firefox browser. Inside the embedded swf, it features a redirect to a phishing website that I advise everyone NOT to click on! So if you see this embedded vicious file pop up, Do Not Click It! It will install another virus called Antivirus 2009, which those of you who know this virus already, it's a pest to get rid of.
Now, based on this, I'm suspecting my detections were false positives. Since the virus definitions were just added, I think my virus scanner saw the embedded videos in my browswer and just assumed they were placed there maliciously. The videos themselves don't appear to be infected, and I've never been redirected to the phishing site.
But I'm hardly an expert, and I don't want to take any chances until I know for certain. So I've deleted the embedded videos until I can get a little more information. If any of you out there are smarter about this kind of thing than me, I'd love to hear from you.
Update: After all the ballyhoo, it turns out it was just a false positive from CA Antivirus. Apparently they've fixed the problem and I'm off to download the updated files. I feel pretty goddamn smart for having figured it out myself FOURTEEN HOURS AGO!
Also, I had a LOT of hits on the blog today. I was apparently one of the first people to post anything about the virus online, so for a few hours my blog was showing up on Google near the top of the list for searches on "actns swif.t" or variations thereof. Ordinarily, I get 20 to 30 hits a day. Today, I got 600+.
Of course, Google's brilliant algorithm eventually kicked in and decided that link farms and sites devoted to 80s heavy metal were FAR more relevant than my blog, so now I've dropped down several pages. But that's okay. Fame would have only changed me.
12 comments:
This just happened to me also. I'm curious, what AntiVirus product are you using? CA for me.
It pops up when I hit a certain site that has been fine in the past. - 12/02/2008 9:17 AM
Problem appears to be limited to embedding YouTube videos in Internet Explorer. No issues with FireFox. I'm running CA eTrust and having the issue. Not sure if it is just them or all of the AV companies.
Likewise I had the same issue with CA and followed the same process you did, which lead me to your site. If these are indeed false positives then at least we know who is watching videos on the network...
- Irb said...
So many Anonymouses!
Yes, I'm using CA as well, so I think we've found the culprit.
I'm pretty sure it's a false positive, but until I hear definitively one way or the other, I think I'll stick to linking to videos instead of embedding them.
Thanks for the info, guys! - 12/02/2008 9:53 AM

You all are not alone!
CA user, IE user, but Wordpress.
Irritating little "bug" isn't it? - 12/02/2008 10:40 AM
One more anonymous here, one more CA user, but not embedding any videos. Just going on a blog I read almost every day, and getting the virus alert for the first time. It only pops up on a few pages, and no videos there. So if it's a false positive, why are we all getting this for the first time on familiar sites. Hope CA responds to this soon.
I'm also a CA and an IE user. I just started getting these pop-ups from my CA Anti-Virus today. It will tell me that 3 viruses (Actns/Swif.T) have been detected, but 2 have been infected while one has been deleted.
I was on YouTube yesterday. I watched a "Jeremiah Was a Bullfrog" and Sesame Street's "Wubba Wubba song" videos. I've never linked to or embedded these videos, and I (so far) am on being redirected to any phishing site.
If these are false positives, are they only being picked up by CA software? What does the "infected" mean, as opposed to the "deleted"? What's up? Is there somebody watching my computer's move now, or are these pop-ups from CA just CA's way of saying it seems malware while the malware has not infected one's computer yet?

Emissions Trading and Promotion of Renewable Energy: We Need Both
Emissions trading and the promotion of the use of energy from renewable sources are key elements of German and European energy and climate policy. However, some critics oppose a targeted promotion of renewable energy, arguing in particular that this is ineffective or even damaging in conjunction with European emissions trading. Yet upon closer examination, the coexistence of emissions trading and promotion of renewable energy is not only possible, it is essential-provided the interactions between them are taken into account. It would be a mistake to discontinue the promotion of renewable energy. Quite to the contrary: A commitment to the continuation and further development of subsidy measures is necessary so that renewable energy-alongside increased energy efficiency-can furnish the foundation for a sustainable energy supply.

Peter Chiarelli: Bruins still negotiating with Brad Marchand | 07.11.11 at 1:30 pm ET |
WILMINGTON — Bruins general manager Peter Chiarelli said after the team's development camp that there is no news to report with regard to contract negotiations with restricted free agent Brad Marchand.
"We've continued to talk," Chiarelli said. "We've had some discussion, and we'll leave it at that."
Marchand, 23, scored 21 goals and added 20 assists for 41 points in his rookie season, winning the team's seventh player award. He finished second on the Bruins with 11 postseason goals, and his plus-12 rating put him in a tie for third on the B's in the playoffs.
The young winger is the only Bruins' restricted free agent. Given that they have qualified him, the team match any offer sheet Marchand signs with another club or lose him in exchange for draft pick compensation. Defenseman Shane Hnidy is the lone other unsigned player, but the B's have told the restricted free agent that they will not be offering him a contract.
Claude Julien optimistic about Joe Corvo's impact with Bruins | 07.11.11 at 1:29 pm ET |
WILMINGTON — Bruins coach Claude Julien discussed the Bruins' offseason moves and their prospects on the final day of development camp Monday. The B's lost Michael Ryder and Tomas Kaberle to free agency, replacing them with Montreal's Benoit Pouliot and Carolina's Joe Corvo.
In the case of Kaberle and Corvo, Julien said the 34-year-old Corvo can help the power play, much like Kaberle was expected to when the B's sent a package of commodities (a 2011 first-round pick, a 2012 second-rounder and center Joe Colborne) to Toronto or the defenseman.
"It's not about replacing [Kaberle] but taking on his role," Julien said of Corvo. "I think you look at Corvo, who's got a really good shot. He's a player that may be a little bit more physical and more engaged. We're going to have to work with him as far as making him understand the way we play here. And I think the way we play will certainly help him a little bit, because we don't want him running around. We want him playing well positionally.
"Again, he skates well and he'll move the puck well. That's where Kaberle '¦ people that thought he underachieved a little bit. I think at the beginning we weren't quite getting what we wanted. But once you saw him get a little comfortable, we've got to give him credit. He's a smart player, he sees the ice well, makes good plays and that's where his strength is. When you look at Corvo, his shot is going to be a lot better and hopefully on the power play which we did [get] some good shots from the back end, it will certainly help us."
Corvo, for whom the Bruins traded a fourth-round pick, had 11 goals and 29 assists for 40 points last season. Kaberle had four goals and 43 assists for 47 assists with the Maple Leafs and Bruins in the regular season. He signed a three-year, $12.75 million deal with Carolina last week.
One last skate and scrimmage for B's prospects | 07.11.11 at 11:40 am ET |
WILMINGTON — The final day of Bruins' development camp kicked off Monday morning with a final power skating session conducted by instructor Besa Tsintsadze. The session featured plenty of interesting drills, including one in which players had to position their sticks upright, spin around, and grab a hold of their sticks before they could move.
A scrimmage followed, with plenty of special teams work sprinkled in. Coach Claude Julien once again took to Ristuccia Arena to watch the prospects, and he had a rare offseason with the media. Check back for more from Julien and the B's youngsters.
Babies in Black take scrimmage | 07.10.11 at 1:12 pm ET |
WILMINGTON — With Bruins coach Claude Julien looking on from the stands, the organization's youngsters followed their Sunday morning practice with a scrimmage. While a shootout and special teams work were mixed in, the black squad bested the white group by a 3-1 margin.
Forward Justin Florek factored into all three black goals, scoring two and assisting a Brian Ferlin strike. Third-round tough guy Anthony Camara scored the white squad's only goal. The Bruins' sixth-round goalies each allowed two goals, with 2010 sixth-round pick Zane Gothberg allowing a goal for each team and this year's sixth-rounder Lars Volden allowing two goals.
Lars Volden recalls the save that brought him YouTube fame | 07.08.11 at 3:02 pm ET |
WILMINGTON — The Bruins may have two of the best goalies in the NHL, and now they have the man responsible for one of the most impressive (if not luckiest) saves you'll ever see.
A simple YouTube search of "Lars Volden" will yield a video of the Noreweigen goalie absolutely robbing a Valerenga forward in 2009 while playing for the Stavenger Oilers of GET-Ligaen. Though the puck bounced off Volden's right pad and through his legs, he hooked his foot back at the goal line to keep the puck out.
"It was a one-timer, it hit inside my [pad], and it bounced back," Volden recalled. "I just felt something weird between my legs. I just turned around and kicked it out.
"It looks good, but it was a pretty lucky save, I think," he added with a laugh.
Of course, the Bruins have set the bar high when it comes to making big saves. Tim Thomas' save on Steve Downie in the third period of Game 5 of the Eastern Conference finals was arguably the best save any NHL goaltender in this season. Volden tried to watch the Stanley Cup playoffs as much as he could before eventually being drafted by the champions.
"I followed it a little bit, but it's so late with the time difference. When I got drafted, I didn't have any words to say. I was so happy, and now I'm so proud to be a part of this organization. I'm really happy about it."
While Volden is clearly thrilled to be with the Bruins, he may need to edit his list of favorite goalies. Roberto Luongo and Carey Price were the ones he said he enjoyed watching when asked Friday.
Zane Gothberg can't mask his excitement | 07.08.11 at 2:37 pm ET |
WILMINGTON — In case you're having trouble spotting Bruins goaltending prospect Zane Gothberg at Ristuccia Arena, it shouldn't be hard. While Michael Hutchinson rocks a Bruins-themed mask, and Lars Volden looks like a souvenir from the Rolling Rock brewery's gift shop, the colorful Gothberg wears a mask that that is uncharacteristically plain. Blank white, no design.
"This year, our team [the USHL's Fargo Force], we don't fund really for custom goalie helmets," Gothberg explained at the Bruins' development camp. "I didn't know if it would be a one or two-year span where I'd be playing for my team that I'm with now.
Now, he does know where he'll be playing, and that means another year in the USHL. Recruited to play at the University of North Dakota, Gothberg, who graduated high school a year ago, needed to wait and see what UND's goalie situation would be before he knew which year he would head to college. With starter Brad Eidsness headed back for his senior year rather than turning pro, Gothberg will wait until the fall of 2012 before finally playing college hockey.
"Both Brad Eidsness and [junior] Aaron Dell are superb goalie. Eisness is sticking around for his senior year, and Dell will be around for his junior year, so it is what it is, and you've just got to make the best out of the situation," the 18-year-old said.
While waiting extra long for college may be tough, Gothberg doesn't seem to have any complaints, but for the happy-go-lucky netminder, it complaining wouldn't appear to be his bag.
He was the backup for the Force last year, with Colorado native Ryan Massa getting the majority of the starts between the pipes. Gothberg played 23 games, posting a 2.23 goals against average and a .908 save percentage. Next year, Massa will be gone, and it will be Gothberg's show.
"It's a little bit of a different plan," Gothberg said of going back to the USHL, "but at the same time, I think it would be good for me to see a lot of rubber this upcoming year and be able to carry that momentum into the college level."
It also gives Gothberg another year of experience after a debut season in the USHL in which he admitted there were adjustments. While he's now made the leap from high school to a new league, he had to learn how to adjust along the way.
"It was a bit of a change," Gothberg said. "Just the schedule away from the rink, there was a lot of down time for me, just because I had graduated high school. I had to make the most of my time, whether it was doing yoga or just working out and stuff, just being around the guys and stuff or just hanging out at the rink all day. It was a different change of pace, and on the ice too, it took me a couple of games, I'd say after my fifth start, to get kind of a groove and be able to play at that level consistently and on a daily basis."
Gothberg is in his second development camp with the Bruins, as he attended last year's as a sixth-round pick in the 2010 draft. Given that he has yet to even attend college, he figures to be at quite a few more. Being Bruins property for a long time shouldn't be tough on Gothberg, as the organization gives him plenty of netminders to look up to. Like everyone else, he watched Tim Thomas' Vezina/Stanley Cup/Conn Smythe Trophy in amazement.
"Obviously everyone knows about Timmy," Gothberg said. "It was pretty ridiculous. He's a great, great goaltender. It's such a weird style that he plays, but at the same time, he is fundamentally sound. He does battle his butt off, and he does make a lot of great saves. That's what it comes down to, is just stopping the puck. It doesn't matter how you do it."
While Gothberg's mask could be considered dull, his personality, as documented last year, is anything but. When he isn't providing one-liners for Jared Knight to post on his twitter account, he's freely admitting to his musical guilty pleasures. Gothberg said last year that he has listened to Miley Cyrus to get pumped up for games, but these days, his tune selection is more Bruins themed.
Gothberg said his playlists have been heavy on Wiz Khalifa, the man responsible for "Black and Yellow," the Bruins' warmup song.
The 18-year old said that the original version of the song was "pretty impressive," but that Brad Marchand's attempt at spitting a few measures of it prior to the B's championship parade was "awesome."
Double session for Bruins prospects | 07.08.11 at 12:03 pm ET |
WILMINGTON — The Bruins continued their development camp Friday with a double session at Ristuccia Arena. After an on-ice workout consisting of skating drills, the prospects took the ice again for a practice session.
All parties were present for the B's prospects, including goalie Michael Hutchinson, who had left the ice Thursday after a collision with Jared Knight.

So far, I haven't received any 60-watt light bulbs which is what I once gifted a friend with at his 60th birthday party.
The image in this post is the front of a birthday card I received. The title is the precise sentiment printed inside.
Can you all think of anything significant about the number "60"?
The sentiment inside of Sista C and Betterhalf's birthday card:
Not a bad idea, I thought:
A hand-made birthday card from frida:
I love it so.
An electronic card from a conservative, Calvinist theologian who heads TRM's foundation and, who, at my 25th anniversary celebration of working for TRM toasted my funeral:
This birthday sentiment, however true, I don't like so much, particularly that it was sent electronically.
The word in the Code Thingy for my last comment was "delivered".
Bah-hum bug to conservative, Calvinist theology.
Charlissta gave me a huge birthday balloon that the Catties are afraid of. It's been hovering over my reading chair the last two days like the Hindenburg:
The ribbon tethering it to the earth hangs over my head like the sword of Damocles.
Took the Hindenburg outside, but it scared the birds:
Bet you all are jealous of this card I got from Liberace:
This just in: another birthday email:
Love this very clever gift -- inside my bag of candy from my parents were 60 crisp new $1 bills; check out the serial numbers:
Remember Tracy, the nurse whose been injecting me with WD-40 for my knee the last three Tuesdays? I've really liked getting to know her and her story and left her cards, etc. Yesterday, she presented me when a pen that her husband (struggling with cancer) made. He works with acrylic. I was so touched:
Last Saturday night, Matissta took me to Jackie's, our favorite restaurant. When we arrived, Matissta told me that Sista C and Betterhalf had arranged to pay for our meal. WOW. Here is a photo of our bottle of wine, which the bartender discounted 50% because it was my 60th birthday. Notice the word in the label:
The entire evening was exquisite.
Last year for my birthday, treesta gifted me with an anthology of all the poetry posted in the sassosphere since it opened. This year, she gifted me with an addendum of all the poetry published in the 'sphere since last June.
Well, good morning, Flann and a Happy Birthday to you, friend. You are gifting us most of all, as we 'hear' your voice in the 'sphere after your 'sabbatical'. I know you have a busy day today, but remember to enjoy the moments that make you smile today!!
And just what is 60? a multiple of 10 of 6 of 15 of 3 of 20 of 30 of 5 of 4 of 2 of 12 and 1. That's pretty awesome really. An intersection of all the variables in life's crazy equation. Keep going my good friend. There is a so much ahead.
Thank you, treesta! And thanks for the sushi you brought over last night for Matissta and me. What a lovely time we had on my back deck.
Check it out! Matissta gave me AN IPAD FOR MY 60TH!
Thank you my good friend, nowayasista. I thought of you when I opened this card:
Happy Birthday, Flann! You're in better shape than most 40 year olds I know. Congratulations.
I love seeing the cards you've received. Truly shows off the givers' personality. All so different. I always thought that email cards should have a short video/movie to be worth sending. But I guess that's a personal perspective.
This photograph does not do justice to the beautiful silver bracelet PEACEsista sent to me -- one of three very lovely gifts:
noway, I just reread your 7:20 a.m. comment, and honestly, that is pretty awesome about the number 60. Thanks.
The word in the Code Thingy for my last comment was: DOCTRINE
Thank you, Matissta, for your 7:23 a.m. comment -- and also, for being around for the next few decades! What would I do without you?

Is the extra 2MB of memory and 32 voices of polyphony worth the extra $100 you'll pay for an X5d over an X5? In my opinion yes. IMO the M1 piano that's included in the extra 2 MB of ROM is a classic (rather than cheesey as some think it's hip to proclaim). I just think the M1 piano works well for rock and pop and it was my favorite piano sound on my Triton LE as well. The extra 2 MB of ROM also have a killer B3 sample, some useful wave-sweep samples and some beefed up synth bass sounds. Of course there's also some useless SFX samples and stupid sampled loops taking up valuable ROM space but in all fairness that's true of any entry level synth that's not only marketed to musicians but also marketed to the truly clueless who just want a toy.
The programming is fairly straightforward for anyone who's worked with multi-layer ROMpler architecture before. I've noted the muli-samples that were used to make many of my favorite factory patches and truthfully, it blows my mind the magic that the programmers were able to get coax out of the multi-samples. In a world where 32MB is standard on ROMplers it truly is amazing how well the X5D's 8 MB of sounds still rate. I think that's partially a credit to the AI2 synth engine as well as the programmers.
If you're into analog, as most synth people are, then of course you'll want a VA to compliment the X5D. I'm not going to claim that it has all the bite and analog goodness of a VA or real analog synth - It doesn't and I wouldn't expect you to take me seriously if i claimed that it did but it does have the standard analog waveforms, analog brass, filter sweeps,PWM, osc. sync., etc. that would marginally get you by for pop songs that demand analog sounds. (I mean, most people at the wedding reception you're gigging aren't going to notice how much bite the filter has or whether the resonance is just so!)
Highly recommended as a first synth, back up synth, travelling companion synth, or auxilliary synth to get that warm Korg sound in your rig.
My rating of 5 is based on the X5D's sound quality/price ratio.

Collection Complete
You'd think that someone who doesn't drink wine would be disappointed when they received a Houdini Vertical Corkscrew & Stopper Set, but that's not the case when that someone was looking for the final piece of his magician-themed kitchen collection.
After years of hard work, I finally had something to go in the drawer next to my David Copperfield pie slicer and my Criss Angel carrot peeler. Everyone always says the best things come in threes, and believe me, that definitely applies to Magician-themed kitchenware.

But all of this kitchenware talk is making me hungry. If you'll excuse me, I'm going to put my Tommy Cooper salt & pepper shakers out and sit down to a nice dinner with wine.

The product liability lawyers at Saiontz & Kirk, P.A. are reviewing potential energy drink lawsuits on behalf of individuals who have suffered a sudden cardiac arrest, heart attack or death after consuming a Monster Energy drink or another high-caffeine beverage.
▸ Request a Free Monster Energy Drink Lawsuit Evaluation
Energy drinks like Monster Energy, Rockstar, Red Bull and others contain potentially dangerous levels of caffeine and other stimulants, such as guarana and taurine.
Side effects of Monster Energy drinks may result in serious and potentially life-threatening health problems, posing a particular risk for teen and young adults who are regularly targeted by the marketing efforts of the drink makers.
In fact, the marketing efforts and packaging actually increase the risk of serious injury by encouraging users to "tear into" and "pound down" the energy drinks, causing many children and young adults to consumer large amounts.
Research has suggested that between 30% and 50% of children and young adults consumer energy drinks, which have increased in popularity over the past ten years. Unfortunately, we have seen a corresponding increase in the number of emergency room visits each year associated caffeine overdose, often involving individuals between 12 and 25 years old.
Financial compensation may be available through a Monster Energy drink lawsuit as a result of the manufacturer's failure to adequately warn about the severe health risks or provide information about the total caffeine content of the products.
The Monster Energy drink lawyers at Saiontz & Kirk, P.A. are providing free consultations and claim evaluations on behalf of individuals throughout the United States who have been hospitalized or suffered any of the following health problems after drinking an energy drink:
- Heart Attack
- Cardiac Arrest
- Cardiac Arrhythmia
- Stroke
- Kidney Failure
- Wrongful Death

The veteran striker turned back the clock with a hat trick in Chelsea's 3-1 triumph against Manchester United.
World Player of the Week |
Chelsea | 3-1 | Manchester United |
He's failed to set the Premier League on fire since joining Chelsea from Anzhi Makhachkala over the summer, but Samuel Eto'o turned back the clock with a hat trick in Sunday's 3-1 win over Manchester United.
The striker scored his fourth, fifth and sixth league goals of the season to steal the headlines at Stamford Bridge, with that victory moving the Blues to within two points of Arsenal at the top of the Premier League.
Goal's Alec Fenn said: "It wasn't the prettiest hat trick the 32-year-old has scored in his career, but neither Eto'o nor Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho will care one bit. The former Inter man opened the scoring with a deflected, curling strike from the edge of the box in the first half before two predatory finishes put the Blues out of sight inside 50 minutes.
"Mourinho had bemoaned the lack of goals from his strikers in previous weeks, but Eto'o's revival will provide a reassuring boost, particularly in light of Fernando Torres' four-week absence through injury."
Congratulations to Samuel Eto'o, Goal's 244th World Player of the Week winner! |
The Shortlist
Zlatan Ibrahimovic - PSG @SiamTrading: "Scored his 299th and 300th goals of his career in the 5-0 win over Nantes." Goal's Hocine Harzoune: "He now has 17 goals and eight assists after his two goals against Nantes." |
Arturo Vidal - Juventus @Kjones1892: "If I had the choice of any midfielder in Europe it would be Vidal or Pogba."Goal's Joe Wright: "Scored another two goals to help Juve battle to a 4-2 win over Sampdoria." |
Adem Ljajic - Roma @AdamgrASR: "You can see on Ljajic's face after the goal how much he wanted it." Goal's Chris Myson: "With Francesco Totti on the bench, Ljajic stepped up to the plate with a brilliant display." |
Cristiano Ronaldo - Real Madrid @MattyHunter: "Take a bow Ronnie, keeper didn't even move. #Ronaldo #screamer." Goal's Miles Chambers: "Scored a 30-yard screamer that left the goalkeeper rooted to the spot." |

Building Strong Parent-Child Communication
Meaningful parent-child communication provides a basis for a child's successful emotional development. We will discuss Lucy Daniels Center's view about how best to build parent-child communication.
Communicating respectfully with children is an art. We recommend that parents interact with their children with the same tact that they would use with another adult.
People communicate tactfully when they understand how their verbal and non-verbal communications will be experienced and understood by a recipient. Parents are safest if they assume that children and adults will respond to communications with mostly similar (although not identical) emotional responses. However, similarities in emotional responses may be obscured by the fact that children and adults may not show or respond to their emotions in the same ways.
Parents must coordinate the respectful tone and tact that they would use with another adult with the special requirements of the parental role, including the provision of explanations, limits and consequences. Achieving this coordination is the art of parental communication with children. We would like to illustrate this art with some examples.
Four-year-old Karen dawdled in her classroom at pick-up time when her mother arrived. She did not respond when her mother said, "Come on, Karen, let's go home."
Let's compare the following four possible subsequent communications from Karen's mother:
"Karen, we need to go home and make lunch."
We can easily imagine a similar, and respectful, comment from one adult to another. Perhaps one adult says to the other who is finishing a task, "Honey, we need to get going or we'll be late for the movie." Such a comment would be respectful if said with a tone devoid of any derision, mocking or undeserved anger.
However, there is another aspect of this example to consider. Karen's mother asked her to leave because leaving is the appropriate end-of-school day behavior. That is the core issue. Was she manipulating Karen by accentuating the lunch issue to leverage the transition? Manipulations are never respectful. A more honest, straightforward and thereby respectful communication may have been, "We need to go home because your school day is over and its time to go. I also would like to get home and start lunch."
"Karen, I know that you want to stay, but I want to go. I am sorry you can't stay. Also, Mrs. Smith (the teacher) expects children to quickly finish up and leave when their mothers come. So, please, let's go."
In this instance, Karen's mother chose to clarify the difference between her and Karen's feelings. She honestly presents her and Mrs. Smith's wishes as two separate reasons for leaving. Although regretful that the situation is not working out according to her daughter's preferences, she is neither apologetic nor defensive about her own wishes and authority. With a combination of limit setting and empathy, Karen's mother expressed her parental authority in a way that acknowledges the plight of the less powerful. Non-apologetic recognition of the power differential distinguishes parental respectful authority, which is growth promoting for a child, from authoritarian "because I'm the boss" authority, which interferes with a child's healthy growth. Parents should model and teach mutually dignifying authority rather than a dominating authority that denigrates both parties.
"Karen, let's go. Right now."
This communication highlights the fact that the respectfulness of a communication depends upon its overall context. From the perspective of adult-adult conversation, one spouse might say to the other with an ordering tone, "We need to go." The ordering tone would, in certain contexts, still be respectful. For example, perhaps the speaking spouse suddenly realized that they were about to be late, or had made previous attempts to mobilize the other spouse. However, even if Karen understood why her mother might reasonably resort to ordering her, one can also imagine contexts in which the communication would be unnecessarily controlling, demeaning or frightening. For example, perhaps blank faces have been associated in the past for Karen with frightening emotion or behavior.
"Karen, I am tired of asking you to come. Put down what you are doing and let's go."
This communication clearly implies that Karen has not responded to other requests. Therefore, Karen should understand that the anger in the communication is well earned. For that reason, Karen is more likely to experience this communication, as compared with the previous example, as respectful. The respectfulness of the communication would be enhanced if it was offered privately so Karen did not have to endure a public humiliation, and if the statement did not convey an attitude of disgust, which is also humiliating. If Karen did not respond, clear limit setting (that re-expressed the expectation along with a modest consequence if Karen did not comply) would be appropriate and fully respectful.
Strong parent-child communication rests upon respect. There is no rule for how to do it – it all depends upon the attitude with which communications are offered, and the context within which they occur. Children will confide in their parents when they have experienced their parents having coordinated parental responsibility with an empathic and dignifying attitude. Parental instructions, encouragement, rewards and consequences have less impact on children than do parental attitudes and actions. Parents should maintain their parental obligations to be guiding, encouraging and limiting, assume that their child has the similar reactions that their parent, a friend, or significant other would have in analogous situations, be as straightforward and mindful of their child's feelings as they would be with any adult, and parents will be leading their child toward rich and respectful communication and relationships.

LONDON - BP PLC may face charges from the U.K.'s main anti-bribery agency due to a new, stricter U.K. corruption law that could make the oil giant liable for alleged wrongdoing by one of its contractors, the Daily Telegraph reports Monday.
Investigators from the Serious Fraud Office have contacted BP over bribery allegations relating to engineering projects one of its contractors is undertaking in Azerbaijan, the Telegraph reports, without citing sources. The paper doesn't identify the contractor.
BP and the SFO both declined to comment on the investigation.
According to the Telegraph, the contractor self-reported the allegation to the SFO after it was discovered. Although no BP employees are believed to have paid bribes, the oil company could face prosecution if the alleged wrongdoing took place after July 1 when the new Bribery Act came into force. The revised law makes a firm criminally liable for acts undertaken by its employees, its agents and contractors.
BP is a major investor in the giant $25 billion Shah Deniz project to develop and pipe natural gas from the Caspian Sea to western Europe. However, the SFO investigation pertains to previous work oil and gas pipeline engineering work BP has undertaken in the west Asian state, the Telegraph reports.

how do we separate the blog and portfolio? looks like the link to the video is broken.
It's a gorgeous theme and I was all ready to switch over to it, but it does not play well with pretty permalinks – if you have changed your permalink structure from the default you will not be able to get the comments working. Sad but true… I'd be using it myself right now if it weren't for this :(
It can be theme for portfolio or photoblog. thank u admin :)
looks good, I think it'll be better if the background is white.
Hi Jaypee
I had luck I found your page in extremis befor the Graph Paper Press site made the whole set of "Work-a-holic" disappear (between the 25th nov and now). Seems only accessible for paying members. For chance I took a look on your site and its links. Thnaks a lot!
very nice theme, uhm, Kuya Jaypee, is there any wordpress theme that is very flexible for designs that you can recommend to me? Thank you! :D
it looks good, but I think it'll look better if the background color is black.
Clean and elegant.
Fabulous review, Jaypee! You always go well beyond the other reviewers in your scope and detail. This theme is beautiful by the way.
I am thinking to change my blog's layout. Unfortunately, it is not a wordpress blog. I want it to be simple yet elegant.
Interesting.. though I'm not a WordPress blogger it shows that WP plugins and widget grows the very edge than the other..
Looks like a good theme for a portfolio site :D
Yet another great review Jaypee. I have seen this theme before and I think it is really a good choice if you want to showcase a portfolio, this is definitely one that fits the bill. Kudos
BTW, Happy Thanksgiving.
Not bad, it has a nice and clean look.

ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Bruce Chen retired his first 18 batters in a riveting duel with Ervin Santana and Jose Guillen snapped a scoreless tie with a two-run single in the eighth, leading the Kansas City Royals to a 4-2 victory over the Los Angeles Angels on Saturday night.
Chen (5-2), a journeyman left-hander, allowed a run and two hits in 7 1-3 innings, struck out three and was aided by a pair of sensational defensive plays by centerfielder David DeJesus.
The 13-year veteran, pitching for his 10th major league club less than three weeks before his 33rd birthday, was making his seventh start since being inserted into the rotation when Gil Meche went on the disabled list.
Switch-hitter Erick Aybar ended Chen's bid for the majors' fifth no-hitter of the season — and third perfect game — leading off the seventh, when he lined his 76th pitch to left field on a 1-2 count for a clean single.
Howie Kendrick bunted him to second, but Chen struck out Bobby Abreu and retired Mike Napoli on a popout after an intentional walk to Torii Hunter.
Chen's bid for his first shutout in 128 major league starts also ended on his 94th and final pitch: Jeff Mathis hit his second homer of the season to left-center with one out in the eighth. But the Royals tacked on two runs in the ninth, one on a fielder's choice by Jason Kendall, the other on a wild pitch by Francisco Rodriguez.
Kyle Farnsworth retired both batters he faced in the eighth and Joakim Soria got three outs for his 22nd save in 24 attempts, striking out Hideki Matsui with runners at second and third to end it after Napoli's bases-loaded sacrifice fly.
Chen's effort overshadowed an equally brilliant outing by Santana (8-6), who had allowed only two hits through the first seven innings — both singles by leadoff hitter Scott Podsednik. But in the eighth, Santana gave up two-out singles to Kendall and DeJesus before hitting Billy Butler with a pitch for the second time to load the bases.
Butler glared at Santana several times, then ripped the batting glove off his right hand and threw it away on the way to first base. Mathis, the catcher, walked to the mound to settle down the obviously rattled Santana, who then gave up Guillen's hit to left-center.
Santana was charged with four runs and seven hits over 8 1-3 innings and struck out four and walked Butler twice.
Hunter, a nine-time Gold Glove centerfielder, got a taste of what it's like to be on the other end of a spectacular play when DeJesus raced back toward the warning track and stretched as far as he could to snare Hunter's drive on the dead run and rob him of extra bases in the second.
Two innings later, DeJesus took an extra-base hit away from Abreu with a diving backhanded grab on the warning track in right-center after another long run.
Royals switch-hitting third baseman Alberto Callaspo was scratched because of a sore left wrist. Wilson Betemit started at third for the third time this season and made a pair of slick barehanded plays in the first inning, one on a bunt by Aybar and the other on a dribbler by Abreu.
NOTES: Former Angels pitcher Clyde Wright threw a ceremonial first pitch on the 40th anniversary of his no-hitter against Oakland. On the receiving end was his son, former big league pitcher Jaret Wright. ... DeJesus played his 227th consecutive errorless game, extending the franchise record for outfielders that he set in April, and has committed just one error over his last 356 games in the outfield.

First locate a wool sweater, second hand stores probably have some in stock. I have heard that you can use wool blends, but don't get a blend with less than 80% wool for the best absorption. And make sure that the blend doesn't contain cotton or rayon, polyester is fine. All this will be located on the tag of the sweater, if it isn't located at the neckline look at the side seam at about waist height. If there is no information on the sweater and you are uncertain about the material, then do not use it for this purpose. HOWEVER, you can make the pants if you want to just don't count on them wicking away pee like 100% wool would. One tip is that wool sweaters should be labeled dry clean only.
It has often been recommended that you "felt" the wool to bind the fibers together more. You do not have to do this, but it will make the spaces in the knit smaller and the knit tighter. If the sweater is a very bulky one I don't think you have to do this at all. And on the ones that I have that are fine morino wool, I don't even think that they felted when I processed them.
In order to felt your sweaters you wash them with hot water and detergent, then throw them in the dryer on high. Ta-da, hands free felting! Both of these things would normally "ruin" your sweater, because it felts the wool, hence the dry clean only label.
This is the sweater I found, 100% fine morino and didn't seem to felt too much. When sewing this project you should sew with a zig zag stitch to keep every thing nice and stretchy and to help keep those knitted fibers all encased.
First step is to cut off the sleeves to the length you need. You can find out how long you need by measuring a pair of your baby's current pants and adding a bit for growing into. The green pins that you see a bit more than half way up are marking where the legs end and the crotch seam will begin. Again you can use a current pair of pants to find the this spot and mark it a bit higher than that for growth.
Next you cut from the top down to the spot you marked. I cut very close to the seam on both the front and the back of each sleeve in order to remove the seam completely because it was bulky.
There is a trick you can use when sewing the two legs together and this pic doesn't show it too well sorry. You flip ONE leg inside out and leave the other right side out. Slip the right side out sleeve INTO the inside out sleeve and pin them together from the top edge to the crotch and back up to the other top side. This pic shows me having pinned from the top edge to the crotch seam so that you could see how I slipped one inside the other. When you sew it like this it keeps the raw edges of the seam on the inside of the pants where it belongs and keeps all the material safely tucked away so that you don't accidentally sew something into the seam that doesn't belong there. I have done it!
When you get it all pinned sew together in one long seam. I like to back stitch over the dead center of the crotch where the legs seams are just to strengthen the seams.
Starting to look like pants?
To add a waist band cut off more material. Measure the length of the pants you just made across the front from hip to hip and double it, this will give you the length you need. My elastic was 1 inch so I made the strip for the waistband about 4 inches wide. I wasn't specific because I used a scrap from the sweater and it just happened to be about 4 inches.
What I did was fold the material over the elastic with the right side of the material facing out, zig zag stitch near the elastic without catching any elastic with the needle, then trim off the excess material near the stitching.
In this photo you can see where I put a yellow pin (at the top of the pic) and green pin (at the bottom of the pic) in order to mark the exact opposite ends of the band.
Then I brought the yellow and green pins together and marked the "new" opposite edges again with pins in this photo green at the top and blue at the bottom. This marked the waist band at 4 spots equal distance from each other. I then put 4 more pins exactly half way between each of the original ones for a total of 8 pins. I did the same thing with the pants. I do it this way because I hate measuring!
Then with the pants turned inside out and the waistband on the inside of that I matched up the pins and attached the pieces together. When I sewed it I simply stretched the waistband as I went to match the length of the pants.
This is what they look like finished. There are a few other ways to make pants like this, but for me this worked out just fine. I was also able to use the same sweater to make 2 other items, a larger pair of pants and a hat.

Best of Total Beauty: All Our Best Beauty Product Stories in One Place

I think you should try the one that Ginnefer Goodwin is sporting. It's super cute.
Don't go platinum! Get some nice red and auburn shades added to your hair. And your hair looks heavy.
You would look lovely with a red hue, platinum would wash out your skin tone.
A shorter cut with reddish brown hair sounds PERFECT. I agree with naejivel all the way, and you would look perfect with such a happening hairstyle. Good luck(:
