Cable Knit
The textural criss-crossings of cable knit socks create captivating cables knit into comfy socks, stockings, tights, and warmers for both arms & legs. Whether serpentine, chain, braid, or more, cable knit is simultaneously cozy and chic. The classic sweater sock look of cable knit makes it perfect for evoking delightful wintery styles any time of year, or when you're looking for a more traditional sock, or something to go with your kilt. Probably the most classic cable knit socks are done in wool, but there's a whole world of cabled socks out there!
Kind of Cabled
We know that not all of the styles you find when searching for "cableknit" on our site are truly cable knit socks. True cable knit requires the stitches be re-ordered in the process of knitting and uses some pretty neat and specific needles to create that distinctive look. Finding actual cable knit socks for us to offer can sometimes be difficult, so we include faux cable styles to satisfy your textural needs. The effect of cables can be suggested with raised textures (often in diamond patterns) and they're just as lovely, so don't let technicalities limit you!
Cable Knit Knee Socks
The most traditional height for cable knit socks, knee highs and over the knees and that in-between "knee sock" range look great with skirts (and kilts). Our Diamond Rib Knee Highs may be a faux cable, but they're one of our favourites for their nice stretch, reclaimed cotton and delightful mix of textures.
More Than Cable Knit Socks
Most non-sweater cable knit you find is going to be socks, but there are more ways to rock those classic cables than just from the knees down.
- Cable Knit Tights: Textured tights are a fabulous way to add visual interest without going too flashy, and cable knit tights (or faux cable) are the acme of textured tights. Cascading cables from tops to toes? Sign us up!
- Cable Knit Warmers: Whether it's arm or leg warmers in a cable knit, their texture makes them seem even warmer.
Other Sweater Sock Styles
If all this talk of cable knit socks has you wanting more options for sweater-like styles, then we have some more options for you! The key when searching for cozy textured socks using our Advanced Search is to check off "Warm!" under the Theme heading. That offers up the snuggliest styles. Here are some of our favourites:
- Ribbed + Warm! Thick ribbed socks that are ready for winter, with both both wide and narrow ribs and lots of coverage options.
- Marled + Warm! Even though "marled" is just a pattern of yarn, it gets used in the warmest socks on a regular basis. Even thinking of the kind of socks you picture wearing when you're cuddled up in a cabin are probably marled!
- Fair Isle! As traditional as cable knit, fair isle socks are often knit in nice thick yarns, using the two colour patterning that defines them.
What is it about cable knit socks that makes us think "cozy"?! Is it the thick texture, or how they evoke warm winter sweaters? Well, no matter why, we love them!

I've had a XD40SC for several years now. It's a very good quality piece. I've not had one problem with it. Decent trigger, and it's amazingly accurate when I do my part.
Bonus: It loves my cast bullet handloads. Accurate and reliable with never even a hint of leading.
I have a touch of arthritis in my wrists. Most of the time I never think about it. However, firing any full strength (SD or Speer Lawman) loads through my XD40SC reminds me after about 25 to 30 rounds. It's by no means overwhelming, but it's work to really shoot it well. It's tiresome & I get sick of it fairly quickly. I carried it for a while and I am confident in my ability to defend myself with it. It will do the job. But, it's a gun you need to stay in practice with, whether you enjoy it or not. IMHO, the XD40SC is not what I would recommend for a novice, especially a recoil sensitive novice. Knowing what I know now, I'd probably opt for the 9 mm if I were to do it over again.
Opinions vary of course.

On six way pallets, roughly. What do you think?
On six way pallets, roughly. What do you think?
Singles,double deeps?? What is the gvw of the truck. Most moving trucks are 26k if thats the case it will be too much flatbed for the truck.
On our 26 we can haul 192 2 story deep hives on 4 way pallets.
So for all you non math wizards out there it is 2 rows of 8 pallets 3 high. So 16 on a level total of 48 Pallets with 4 hives on a pallet.
And we have to be careful when it is fully loaded with heavy hives to not go over weight. Down to almonds is fine coming back is tricky some times.
On or in? If it is a rental, enclosed moving truck you are going to have some extra headaches.
Let me never fall into the vulgar mistake of dreaming that I am persecuted whenever I am contradicted. - Emerson
Doubles, on 6 way pallets, . These are live hives, not going into an enclosed moving truck. I actually solved my own problem by just going with a shipping company so the thread is now irrelevant
but still interesting . Thank you for the responses

I currently have a deposit down on a 2010 Chevy Silverado Crewcab LT1 sheer silver metallic with the 6.2L V-8. Waiting on GM to accept the order. It was hard to sell the 00 it was a great truck and had low miles (85K) but I needed something bigger with a child on the way in November. Right now I am wishing I didnt sell because I have been unable to get GM to allocate my dealership an order. Still waiting not so patiently.

Cooperative Stewardship Is Focus of TOWMA Conference Feb. 1-2
KYLE, Texas — Across Texas, a seismic shift in land ownership is transforming the landscape. Bigger ranches are giving way to ranchettes, resulting in loss of open range and fragmentation of wildlife habitat. One solution is landowners banding together for common benefits, which is the focus of the Texas Organization of Wildlife Management Associations (TOWMA) annual conference Feb. 1-2 in Kyle south of Austin.
The theme of the conference is "Cooperative Stewardship: What's in it for YOU, What's in it for Texas?" and organizers have worked to provide something for everyone. That includes entertaining side trips for family members near the conference headquarters at Texas Old Town, a private meeting and special events facility.
The meeting offers an assortment of presentations about land management practices and tools to help attendees become better stewards of natural resources. A common theme is the advantages of managing resources cooperatively and what landowners can accomplish by working together. A diverse group of respected professionals will present information.
Carter Smith, newly appointed executive director of Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, will lead off Saturday's program. Keynote speaker state Sen. Glenn Hegar, a member of the Senate Committee on Natural Resources, will discuss legislation affecting water and wildlife management on private lands. Other speakers include Matt Wagner, Ph.D., TPWD Wildlife Diversity program director; Doug Mason, Oakridge Ranch Wildlife Management Association predator control manager and co-founder of TEAM HOGS hunger relief program; and Jenny Sanders, Texas Wildlife Association conservation programs coordinator.
Linda McMurry of TPWD will moderate a panel of experts discussing cooperative management tools and success stories, including landowners, scientists, and land policy experts such as former state Rep. Bob Turner.
Successful land managers and representatives from other professional organizations and state agencies have also been invited to participate, including: Texas Cooperative Extension, Natural Resource Conservation Service, Hunters Harvest, Texas Farm and Ranch Conservation Council and others.
On Friday evening, Texas Old Town will cook a Texas-style BBQ Cowboy supper with live traditional country and western music from the Texas Old Town Wranglers. Those who come early can browse items to be auctioned off after dinner. Guest speakers begin after breakfast at 8:30 a.m. Saturday morning.
Admission to the TOWMA 2008 Spring Meeting is $60 per adult with one child under age 13 free with each paid admission. This includes the meeting program both days, Friday evening dinner and dance (cash bar), plus Saturday morning pre-meeting refreshments, fajita lunch, and afternoon break refreshments. ADVANCE RESERVATIONS ARE REQUIRED. THE DEADLINE TO REGISTER IS JAN. 28. Anyone can register on the TOWMA Web site. For more information, phone Larry Jones at (361) 362-0430.
TOWMA is a statewide organization that brings together regional wildlife management associations throughout Texas to achieve common goals and objectives. TOWMA facilitates the formation of new wildlife management associations by sharing "Best Practices" and re-usable templates to help organizations avoid "re-inventing the wheel."
TOWMA monitors legislation affecting landowners, communicates issues to members, and provides input to legislators who pass laws affecting wildlife and land use. The group does not lobby, but instead acts as an informational resource. The organization also provides educational opportunities to its members and the public through meetings, newsletters and other means.
The group's Web site offers a clickable map to find wildlife management associations across Texas, a technical library of articles on wildlife conservation topics, and many other resources.

WTO Wages War on Forests The new 'free logging' agreement picks up speed
In June, in the wake of mass public protest, G8 leaders meeting in Cologne were prepared to promise anything. Yes, "we agree that environmental considerations should be taken fully into account in the upcoming round of WTO negotiations", they said, in an official press statement. And yes, we do understand "the importance of taking action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions".
Hollow promises? Apparently so. Just one month later, the Clinton administration's proposal for upcoming Millennium Round agenda has come out in full support of the recently-proposed Global Free Logging Agreement (See The Ecologist Vol. 29, No.3, p.181) .
This far-reaching WTO stipend would eradicate tariffs for forest products between the 135 member nations, as well as allowing investors unfettered access to another countries' woodland.
What's more, foreign logging corporations would have no obligation to observe domestic labour or environmental laws,
or protect endangered forests. Indeed, any country attempting to preserve its trees could be accused of "protectionism"- the eighth deadly sin, in the eyes of trade liberalisation advocates.
Clearly, the bill would have a devastating impact on the world's remaining forests. Even the American Forest & Paper Association is prepared to admit that the legislation would increase global wood consumption by up to 4 per cent. Slash and burn deforestation techniques, and a reduction in the overall quantity of oxygen-producing vegetation would increase levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide, directly contributing to the global warming which our G8 leaders are supposedly so keen to avert.
48 members of the US Congress have written to President Bill Clinton, asking that he reject the WTO's proposal.
Please add your voice to the message. Write to US Trade Representative, Charlene Barshefsky, by contacting Antonia at firstname.lastname@example.com or ring + (202) 547-9230.
Let Them Eat Caviar Eating caviar is no longer just a matter of taste. Nowadays it is also a question of conscience.
In 1998, 23 types of sturgeon, including beluga and sevruga, were placed under international protection, after fisherman reported ever-dwindling catches. Now, a debate is raging in the conservation movement about how best to protect them.
Conservationists are in two minds. Caroline Raymakers, of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora, also known as CITES, thinks we should eat as much caviar as we can, particularly of the very expensive kind. By spending a lot of money on legally caught caviar, the consumer makes sturgeon too valuable for caviar exporting nations to lose.
But Vadim Birstein, a conservation biologist who helped sound the first alarm of the sturgeon's predicament, says we shouldn't be eating caviar at all. At the current rate of consumption, the Beluga species of sturgeon will have disappeared in 5 years time.
The reasons are manifold: sturgeon, which can grow to 9 metres and weigh up to 500 kilograms, take 25 years to reach maturity. Traditionally, fishermen
catch mature females as they swim upstream to spawn. But a spate of greed has prompted catches on the high seas, resulting in the unnecessary deaths of large males and immature females.
Dam-building is also to blame. Massive hydroelectric projects throughout China, Iran and Russia have blocked females from their ancient spawning grounds. And in the Caspian Sea, oil drilling, with its incumbent pollution, has sounded the death knell for many of the water's fish.
Poaching is the worst problem. Even since the break-up of the Soviet Union in
the early 1990s, black market caviar exports have soared. CITES hopes to protect the embattled fish by stamping out the illegal catches. After April next year, the institutes' 145 member nations will only buy caviar bearing the official CITES stamp.
Let's hope the measure hasn't come too late. According to the UN's Food and Agriculture Organisation in Rome, 1997's sturgeon quotas plummeted to a disastrous 4,696 metric tons, down from some 20,416 just a decade earlier.
For the sturgeon, its going to be an upstream battle.
The Ecologist, Vol. 29, No 6, October 1999 Sacred Mountains Are Quarried Deep in the heartland of South Central Timor, the Molo tribe is up in arms. For on July 5th, marble mining company PT Karya Asta Alam (PT KAA) began drilling into their two sacred mountains.
licising the numerous violations carried out by the company. Mining on sacred land is illegal under Indonesian law, and PT KAA don't have permission from the regional government to quarry the mountains. What's more, the Molo's stone-hills fall within a designated National Park, which is protected by law against the ravages of mining.
Fatu Naususu and Fatu Anjaf are where the Molo go to pray. When important community decisions need to be made, the tribespeople meet on their mountains. Ancient folklore has it that the first Molo man and woman appeared on Naususu and Anjaf. So when they die, the Molo are buried in the ancient hills.
A network of local indigenous groups have rallied to the Molo's defence, pub
Ecologically, the mine would be a disaster. The water-intensive industry would pollute and diminish the mountains' river water, drying up the fertile agricultural land below, dubbed 'the rice bowl' of Timor. When another company began mining in the same region last year, poisonous chemical runoff from
the quarrying led to the revocation of the company's license. PT KAA has no environmental strategy and, so far, has failed to undertake an Environmental Impact Assessment.
PT KAA, in cahoots with the local government, have responded aggressively to the Molo's protests. Last week, 200 armed guards were hired to protect the company's site.

Norway to Claim PCB Compensation Norwegian authorities are preparing a collective lawsuit, demanding compensation from the world's former PCB manufacturers.
Norway's fjords and harbours are believed to contain up to 400 tonnes of polychlorinated biphenyls, for which clean-up costs are estimated at £1.1 billion.
PCBs, the bulk of which were sold by a subsidiary of our old friends Monsanto, came onto the market in the 1930s. The greasy fluids were used as insulators
in electrical equipment. But production was short-lived. When PCBs were found to concentrate up the food chain, saturating animal fat with hormone disrupting toxins, the chemicals were banned. However, prevention came too late. Already, one fifth of the 1.5 billion tonnes manufactured is circulating through the oceans, poisoning marine life across the world. In 1997, arctic researchers discovered four hermaphroditic polar bear cubs, whilst dolphin, seal and whale blubber is so contaminated that coastal authorities have to treat beached marine mammals as "toxic
Normally, Norwegian land-owners have to foot the bills for any local pollution problems. But i f the authorities can prove that producers knowingly sold an environmentally hazardous product, then companies like Monsanto will be forced to pay up.
Local authorities from several regions, including Norway's capital, Oslo, are keen to press charges. Such a lawsuit would be the first attempt by a nation state to gain recompense for the disastrous, irreversible consequences of the world's PCB poisoning.
The Renewable Revolution Brazil is investing billions in renewable energy, whilst in Iceland, a hydrogen revolution is taking place. Africa, with its new solar training programme, is also on the make.
Meanwhile, Iceland is aiming to cut its links with fossil fuels altogether and become the world's first "hydrogen economy." Analysts believe that the Earth's most sparsely populated country could become the 21st century's "hydrogen sheikh," i f it pits its abundant water resources into hydrogen fuel cells.
In a new government project, Brazil will invest billions in renewable energy, to bring power to 20 million Brazilians. Through wind turbines, solar cells, biomass and small hydropower developments, the government hopes to promote 10,000 small renewable energy schemes a year. Each project would provide clean, locally-produced energy for up to 200 rural people and would, perhaps, provide an alternative to some of the destructive oil-prospecting schemes currently planned for the Amazon basin, with the government's blessing.
Fuel cell technology has been around since its discovery in 1839 by Welsh physicist William Grove. He showed that reacting hydrogen with oxygen in the presence of platinum electrodes created electricity. Because the only byproduct of a functioning hydrogen fuel cell is water, the technology, widely applied, could provide a renewable alternative to polluting carbon technology.
With its countless fast-flowing rivers and volcanic rock pools, Iceland is an ideal place for the production of renew
able energy. Although much of the country's electricity already comes from hydroelectric and geothermal power, currently, only 10 per cent of the country's hydroelectric potential is being tapped. Icelanders hope to use the excess energy to power first buses, then fishing fleets, then trucks and cars.
In Tanzania, another renewable energy scheme is making waves. The KARADEA Solar Training Facility is training individual Africans to erect solar energy systems, and giving them the skills to pass on their knowledge. Already, people from as far afield as Kenya, Zimbabwe, Ethiopia and Somalia have taken part in the project, and there are currently some 200 UDEFA approved solar technicians at large in sub-Saharan Africa.

Steve McQueen: "I Want to Be Useful"
Rob Nelson
Nov 2013
"I don't think slavery has been taboo at all," Steve McQueen says, having just noted that his film 12 Years a Slave is one of less than two dozen to address this painful part of US history. "[Racism has] actually been very visible and obvious—the elephant in the room." In a Q&A with Rob Nelson, McQueen discusses slavery, art, and how he sees Solomon Northup's 1853 book as "the Anne Frank diary of America."
Steve McQueen's Truth and Beauty
Rob Nelson
Oct 2013
Addressing criticisms that Steve McQueen's 12 Years a Slave prizes beauty over human emotion, Rob Nelson asks: "Doesn't commercial art by its very nature put an ornate frame around whatever it observes? What does it mean to say that the subject of slavery defies the sort of representation that invites a wide audience? Why shouldn't the 'fastidiously composed image' be used to help reveal messy truths?"
Buckminster Fuller: A Design Science Evangelist in Minnesota
Mason Riddle
Oct 2013
Earning a standing ovation from a crowd of 5,000, Buckminster Fuller spoke at the University of Minnesota one Monday in 1973 on the role of design scientists in civic problem solving. But the 90-minute talk wasn't the revolutionary thinker's first trip here. As Mason Riddle learns, his many visits between 1953 and 1981 involved him in projects, exhibitions, and the inaugural Earth Day observation.
Station to Station: Doug Aitken's Polyphonic Culture Train
Paul Schmelzer
Sep 2013
"Human beings need a starting point." The motto for The Source, Doug Aitken's video series on creativity's origins, could easily be the slogan for Station to Station, the art train he's taking across the US this month. While the trip has its concrete elements—a starting point, an ending point, some really heavy train cars—he sees it as entirely open-ended: whatever happens along the way is anybody's guess.
Pathway to the Spectacular Now
Kathie Smith
Jul 2013
When Billy Rosenberg read The Spectacular Now, he knew it should be made into a film: "Tim Tharp's novel reminded me of Ferris Bueller, Say Anything, a little bit of Holden Caulfield from The Catcher in the Rye." But the path of turning the book into a movie was as circuitous as the Minnesota native's own journey from the Twin Cities to LA and back for a visit to the Walker to help introduce the film.
Noah Baumbach: Visibly Human
Scott Foundas
Mar 2013
In his films, Noah Baumbach (The Squid and the Whale, Kicking and Screaming) punctuates "cruelty with tenderness, always taking pains to make sure his characters remain visibly human," writes Village Voice critic Scott Foundas, who interviews Baumbach at the Walker April 5. Here he reflects on Baumbach works that tend to focus on issues of "intellectual one-upmanship and questionable parenting."
Handmade Spirits: Chris Sullivan's Ethereal Animated Worlds
Kathie Smith
Jan 2013
Fifteen years in the making, Chris Sullivan's painstakingly hand-crafted film Consuming Spirits peers into twin ethereal realms, lurking familial ghosts and the inebriating spirits that haunt its characters' lives. But while the themes are otherworldly, Sullivan stays grounded in the concrete as his film's animator, screenwriter, director, editor, composer, and actor, as Kathie Smith discovers.
A Poetic Archaeology of Cinema: The Films of Bill Morrison
Matt Levine
Jan 2013
In Bill Morrison's films, time appears as both a historical process and as an autonomous, existential force to which all matter falls prey. Whether treating the march of time as fodder for a narrative of human events or as an irreversible process of flux and decay, he utilizes traces of found footage from our cinematic past, attempting to grapple with the ambiguous concept of "time" itself.
A Year in Close-Up: Still Dots and the Blue Velvet Project
Matt Levine & Jeremy Meckler
Jan 2013
November 29 was a momentous day: After one year and 102 blog posts, Still Dots was complete. Since December 13, 2011, we'd been pulling one frame for every 62 seconds of screen time in Carol Reed's The Third Man and writing a biweekly analysis of it. With more than 125,000 words behind us, we reflect on what this micro-analysis taught us—and how it might suggest a new kind of film criticism.

Reviews of this property
beautiful apartment with magnificent sea view from the terrace. David is a very friendly and uncomplicated host. I can strongly recommend it!
The apartment was great and well equipped with a nice view. We were six adults plus one child and found it big enough. Bus stop and supermarket approx. 150 metres. Our contact person was very friendly and helpful.
We had a very nice stay in this lovely appartment. The rooms were modern and bright, kitchen and bathrooms well equiped. Everything was exactly as mentioned in the description, the big terrace with direct view to the ocean was very charming, both in the morning for breakfast or in the evening to chill-out. The communication with the host before and after our stay was perfect. Especially our contact on place David was very kind and professional, giving us some very good hints where to do the shopping etc. We can truely recommend this beautiful appartment, the nice host and contact on place.
That was a nice apartment in a very nice location in Nice. Except that it was hardly heated and we always had cold it was Ok. Nevertheless, we would like to make again there holidays.
Das war eine schöne Wohnung an einem sehr schönen Ort in Nizza. Ausser dass es kaum geheizt war und wir immer kalt hatten war es Ok. Trotzdem würden wir wieder gerne dort Ferien machen.
The appartment was a great. Fantastic location, a place to park the car and only 150 meters to the food store and bus stop with busses to Nice every 10 minutes (or to Monaco the other way :-) ). Beautiful bathroom with a large tub.
We where greeted by David, a scottish frenchman with a great personality, who we could ask "tourist" questions throughout our stay. Great!!
A slight deduction on the stars due to noice from the road, but nothing we where bothered by (no noice in the bedroom). Great price for an appartment of this standard.
Thanks Sylvie and David!!
It has been a very good experience! The appartment is so nice, really comfortable and well equipped. We were 5 and we hadn't got any problems of space. Sylvie was very attentive. So recommended!!
We had a very nice three days in this lovely apartment with such a beatiful ocean view. Our host was really helpful and everything worked as promised. One hint if you intend to travel to Monaco by bus: when coming back it would be a good idea to get into the bus at the bus station since all the buses are full already when trying to get in somewhere else..
All 6 of us (2 children, 2 teenagers and 2 grown-ups) enjoyed 2 weeks in Sylvie's fabulous apartment. Everything was very convenient - Wifi, TV, groceries, parking and a wonderful terrace overlooking the sea. The apartment was nicely decorated, and we found everything we needed in the kitchen. There is a wonderful pebble-stone beach in Villefranche just 2 minutes away by car (25 minutes walking distance) with very few tourists and crystal clear waters. Also, our host recommended a restaurant in Villefranche that we enjoyed a lot. We would love to go there again.
The apartment was clean and bright with an excellent view of the sea! The location was also near to Villefranche Sur Mer which we enjoyed exploring.
David (Sylvie's partner) received us and show us around and handed over the place without any issues.
I must have overlooked the part about the mandatory 80 euros required for linen cleaning as that would have me re-consider the booking since we were staying there for only 2 nights. That should have been indicated clearly or it should have been included in the overall cost of the apartment since it was mandatory anyway.
But on the whole, a good experience and anybody wanting an apartment offering the best of both NICE and Villefrance should consider.

Developer: Rockstar Leeds
Ship date: 10/25/05
The story of Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories takes place 3 years before the events of Grand Theft Auto 3 and we find that our main character Toni Cipriani has returned from laying low for the past 4 years after taking out a rival mob boss for the Leone crime family. Having welcomed him back with open arms, the Don Salvatore Leone is putting Toni to back work under the watchful eye of Vincenzo Cilli, one of his most trusted capo's.
Key Points
The Setting
Portland is the first of the three major Liberty City islands. As rich in industry as it is in underworld dealings, Portland is home to Don Salvatore Leone himself and where Toni gets re-acclimated to his previous life of crime. Portland is the seedier downtown area of Liberty City that has everything an aspiring thug could ask for from the temptations of the Red Light district to the dimly lit docks of Trenton , both perfect for taking care of bodies in various fashion. Fans of Grand Theft Auto 3 will instantly be familiar with such neighborhoods as St. Marks, Chinatown , Atlantic Quays and Hepburn Heights but as it's 3 years earlier, some things may not be as you remember. Whether you need a good time or a place to hide out from the feds, Portland has what you are looking for.

Over-Ear item created by jacksonchansf, Jul 24, 2012
Pros - Deep, quality bass
Cons - Clamp force, cheesy looks
I got the Gold Rush ones, was an impulse buy i guess , never thought of wearing them in public so i can care less about the "fancy" look. They come with two types of earpads, if you have large ears or wear glasses i recommend you to switch the stock ones right away. They come with a detached cable and i recommend you to keep it detached because that cable sucks big time, i put one of my broken hd465 and the sound got way better. The short time i had them ,don't know if they need burn in time or not, i can say that the bass is their strongest point and that they're 24ohms. You'll get a deep quality bass for your money without sacrificing the mids and highs, even though they are far from impressive on these cans because the bass kind of overpowers them. I only tested those cans with some Noisia songs, had them only for 2 days, and honestly i'm satisfied with them, probably the strongest bass i heard, but then again i don't have any real basshead cans to compare them with, i'm an akg guy (k240,q701,k81) so yeah mids all the way But compared to k81 the bass has more quality and more impact and the mids and highs aren't muddied like with the k81. If you want cheap bass headphones this is the way to go, thp 10 => 68$ are probably a steal. The build quality is mediocre , not the best and not the worst, they are definitely better built than those superluxes (i own 681evo and 668b)... and yeah they are bassier than those cans also. Also a bad thing is if you crank the volume on your amp to 90-100% they distort but considering those volumes on a 24ohm phone are unbearable even if the cans are not on your head i doubt you'll have trouble with that

Bishop would be a welcomed addition in my eyes. He can actually play some LB and has played some LB for GB. We need some more experience at the position. And, iirc, he's still a younger player and I wouldn't classify him as a bust either. I wonder why GB didn't try to retain him...

No one remembers who came in second.
Could be a big move if he comes here. A bit surprised as early reports were the Vikes were all over him.
I think this would be an excellent pick up, he would easily be one of the better backers on this team.
If we got him cheap it would remind me of the kawika Mitchell signing in certain aspects

Dogged by fraud allegations, Malaysia targets media
Investigative reporting on alleged mismanagement of a Malaysian state investment fund has triggered a backlash against muckraking media. On Friday, the Home Ministry ordered the suspension of two local news publications, The Edge Weekly and The Edge Financial Daily, for three months on the grounds that their reporting on the fund, known as 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB), had prejudiced public order, security, and national interests, according to news reports. The suspension came into effect today.

SHREVEPORT (AP) — Caddo Parish coroner has ruled the death of the 3-year-old girl who was left in the backseat of a car nearly 19 hours was an accident.
The Times reported Dr. Todd Thoma said in a news release the cause of death was a heatstroke, secondary to vehicular hyperthermia.
Shreveport police received a 911 call from the girl's mother about 4:30 p.m. July 5. The woman, who has two other children, told authorities she found Sariah Delafosse in the sweltering vehicle as she was leaving for work.
Krystal Delafosse picked her toddler up from the child's father's house the night prior. Police later learned the woman left the car windows rolled up and the girl may have been in the car since 9 p.m. July 4.

Right in the heart of the West End of London, NEAR MARBLE ARCH Station and minutes from SELFRIDGES and short walk to both Hyde Park and Regents Park.
Kensington is only a short journey away and is the home to several major museums such as Natural History museum and Science museum. The famous department stores Harrods, Peter Jones and Harvey Nichols are also located in Kensington.
Hyde Park is a short walk away, where you will find Kensington Gardens. If you walk through the park you will reach Oxford Street, the most famous shopping street in London with shops such as Selfridges and Debenhams. Most attractions of London are within easy reach, such as Big Ben, Buckingham Palace and Piccadilly Circus.
Notting Hill is one of the most attractive areas of London, with many beautiful buildings. Notting Hill is full of trendy café and bars, small shops and galleries. This is also where the famous Portobello Market is located. Notting Hill is also famous for the annual colourful carnival that takes place every August, and for the film 'Notting Hill' starring Julia Roberts and Hugh Grant!
There are plenty of tube stations in the area that will take you wherever you want to go in London. If you want to enjoy the extensive night life London has to offer, there are also plenty of buses and night buses running 24/7 from all directions in London.

This is an affordable hotel in a really sought after part of London. At walking distance of Baker Street, Marble Arch and Oxford Street. The bus stop is practically across the street, subway stations all around at 10 mins walk.
We loved to fully operational kitchenette with micro wave, water cooker, toaster, pans and cutlery. We could smell that some guests used their room for cooking. We chose to simply re-heat McBreakfast (Mac was at walking distance and open from 5 AM) because we didn't want to cook in our bedroom.
A couple of down sides: shared bathroom, no lift and no insulated glazing (noisy and cold). Also the boiler only provided enough hot water to wash your hands once per time (I had to boil water to do the washing up) and I couldn't get the shower on the higher floor to work.
Staff were nice and guests were nice so thumbs up for Amber Hotel!
Beautiful townhouse, with a nice small room, clean and tidy. Kitchen is sufficient. Shared bathroom is clean as well. Friendly and helpful caretakers, haven't seen Penelope though. The other guest were quiet, but the house itself is noisy. The street in front is quite noisy as well.
That was cheap and i get what i wanted : affordable, central -between Hyde and Regent's-. The studio is also next to Baker st.
You hear very well the street sound but that make the eventual noises from neighbors bearable. Tidy given that the furniture is quite cheap and well used...
Overall good experience. People there are nice.
wonderful location proximity to main attraction - friendly and welcoming
lovely room with all amenities
Penelope always unswered my emails on time. They have a recepcionist called Gabi that was very helpfull. The apartment was ok but very noisy in the main street. I requested other inside but there was no other available so finaly we had to pay more for other apartment in the basement with bath that was less noisy and bigger.
The situation of the apartment is excellent.
Everything was Perfect! The room was very clean, bis enough for two persons and two big suitcases. The kitchen has everything you need for cooking. The shower looks very modern and clean, it was usually free and there were lots of other possibilities to shower if one shower wasn't free.
The staff at the reception was very nice and even allowed us to stay until 1pm for checking out. We could let our suitcases at the reception and picked them up in the very late evening. The only two things to criticize: the beds were a bit old and fragile (but comfy!) and the hostel need maybe a small renovation (bathroom is new!!).
The location is directly in the city center, it's about 15 minutes by bus from Victoria.
All in all we were very happy and would book again this place when we are coming back to London! Thank you for everything :)
The location is great, everything is in walking distance and there are stores, restaurants and supermarkets all around! The room and toilet is all right, it's clean and simple, nothing to criticize. The Kitchen is good and there is a heating thing in the room which works very well! It might just get a little noisy because of the cars but besides that it's the perfect place to stay if you want to make a short trip to London :) thank you for the great time!
Very good location near Covent, British Museum, National Gallery and shops circuite.
Not very good forniture and beds.
Shared bathrooms. Not sure among who, often very badly cleaned. Shower not bad, but with clogged drain, sometime.

I just returned from helping a friend bring back 90 hives from the California Almond Pollination. His hives are overflowing with bees. Kind of looks like a beer mug poured to fast. We have enough brood and bees to make three hives out of each one. My question is what is the best way to isolate the queen to a particular box. It is not reasonable to attempt to find the queen in each box, it would take day days with the amount of bees in each box. When we try to shake to bees down into the first box, it is way to full of bees and the overflow the edges and we are concerned we could lose or crush the queen in doing so.
What suggestions do you all have. I am hopeful some of you with commerical experiance can provide some sound wisdom as to how to best do this.

We took a Raw TE who didn't produce in RD 4, and u were happy, but now we get a Project in RD 6 whos played pretty well in his league, and hes 'so raw"?[/quote]
Jaquian Williams was a "raw" 6th round pick last year.
NYC is right, this is where you get those "raw" upside guys. What this kid lacks are the things someone can potentially learn and develop(technique and bulk), what he has are the things you cant teach(size, athleticism and arm length.)

Choose one of fourteen different fighters and use their animal powers to defeat
all who stand in your way! With the power of the mysterious "Zoanthrope Crests"
the Bloody Roar fighters have the ability to "beastorize" and transform
into certain animal forms, gaining strength and special techniques in the process.
Other than that, this game is pretty much like the average fighting game you've
played a million times before.
Bloody Roar 3 is divided up into four main battle modes. I bet you
can even name them all - Arcade, Versus, Survival, and Practice. Surprised?
I didn't think so. Each mode plays exactly like you expect it to - nothing more,
nothing less. After all, the game is basically a port of the arcade version.
Gameplay follows along the lines of a basic 3D fighter with standard attack
buttons augmented by a "sidestep." There's also the power bar that shows just
when you've built up enough animal hormones to transform. Interestingly enough,
most of the move lists are not littered with quarter and half-circle maneuvers.
Instead, it's all about button mashing combos. While this scheme is easy to
pick up and hard to master, it doesn't feel as strategic as the "Street Fighter-ish"
set of moves that fighting game fans have grown accustomed to. But if there's
one thing at which Bloody Roar 3's combat system excels, it's definitely
the combos.
A master of Bloody Roar can make mincemeat of opponents in no time
with a combination that will drain an entire life bar. Catching enemies in the
corner and advanced juggling will definitely make the battle a lot easier. While
the ability to completely annihilate an opponent is cool, it's very frustrating
when you're almost completely helpless on the receiving end. This is a system
that just ends up being way too lopsided for experienced players.
arenas tend to be on the small side, forcing the fighters to remain in close
quarters at all times. A few of the levels have breakable objects and "dentable"
walls, but this simple design pales in comparison to the "go anywhere" arenas
we've seen in DOA2.
The game's graphics are pretty average and will not impress you one bit. Characters
are pretty smooth, but the backgrounds are as plain and uninspired as they come.
The major improvement over the previous Bloody
Roar titles is the increased number of fighters. You'll still find Yugo,
Alice, and Gado. Only this time, they are joined by the new characters such
as Busuzima the lizardman and Stun the giant bug. It's nice to see a little
more variety in were-people these days.
The animal choices of the new fighters are kind of disappointing, though.
Now there are two tigers and two moles along with a host of characters
from the cat family. Couldn't the developers come up with a few new animals?
How about a kung-fu monkey,
raging bull or drunken
Bloody Roar 3 could have been saved from total mediocrity by adding
a little depth, but alas, it was not to be. Outside of the two unlockable characters,
there isn't much to tempt anyone into playing the game again. I suppose you
could experience every character's drug-induced story line, but is it really
worth it? Nope.
But even with all of its faults, Bloody Roar 3 still has its moments.
There's nothing like chomping on a little bunny or mauling a lizard for the
win. Even getting a 50+ hit combo is usually a good reason to celebrate.
So there you have it: An average fighting game cleverly disguised as an animal
combat game. It's great for those wild full moon parties, but once the sun comes
up, it's back to normal.

Both 2011 Hope College cross country teams and four members of the MIAA champion women's squad have received All-Academic accolades from the United States Track and Field Cross Country Coaches Association of America.
The team recognition is given to schools whose squad maintained a grade point average of 3.10 or better. The women's team maintained 3.56 GPA while the men's squad had a 3.34 GPA. It marked the 22nd consecutive year that the women's team is being honored. No other women's Division III program has achieved that distinction.
The individual USTFCCCA All-Academic award honors those student-athletes who have succeeded both academically and athletically. To be eligible for the award, a student-athlete must carry a minimum 3.3 cumulative grade point average and must finish in the top 35 among the field at their respective NCAA regional meet. Only 183 female runners in all of Division III are receiving the recognition.
Hope honorees are sophomore Camille Borst of Allendale (Allendale HS), senior Kelly Lufkin of Houghton (Houghton HS), sophomore Meredith Busman of Coopersville (Coopersville HS) and senior Kate Nelson of Williamston (Williamston HS).
Borst, Lufkin and Nelson are each being honored for a second time.
The Flying Dutch, coached by Mark Northuis, won the championship of the Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association (MIAA), placed third at the NCAA Great Lakes Regional and compete at the NCAA Division III championships, finishing 21st in a field of 32 teams.

Cheese Webcam Application

3 comments:
I'm not a big fan of cheese to be honest. It makes my webcam seem really dark, like, I can barely see myself. Other applications are more...bright. You know what I mean? In Skype for example, it looks normal, and you can easily see me. But in Cheese, it makes my room look incredibly DARK. They need to fix this. :-)ReplyDelete
Just wanted to drop a comment and say I am new to your blog and really like what I am reading. Thanks for the great content. Look forward to coming back for more.ReplyDelete

Fast Pourer, Tapered Flip Top
- Air vent for fast pouring
- Fits most bottles
- Flip top dust protection
Fast pourer for those looking for the professional appeal when pouring their spirits. Utilizing a fast pourer one can do proper 4-count pours looking like a professional. Durable, fits most typical spirit bottles and can be reused again and again.
These pourers are metal with a flip top cover that opens when tilted so liquid can pour out but dust stays away and fruit flies stay out.

Loved all the quilts. Neanie, who made your pattern? Name. Thanks!
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Loved all the quilts. Neanie, who made your pattern? Name. Thanks!
I just love the colors you chose.What an amazing gift
always learning
This was my 2nd Bargello I made it for my son and new DDIL. Took me longer than it should have as I made a mistake in placement and had to take it apart back to the center and redo it. I had to remake some of the strips. I called it Jets in Flight as they both work for Gulfstream. I quilted it following the lines of the "jets" and the rest with "air currents". I used decorative stitches to quilt the pillows.
Come to Me and I will give you rest--Jesus.
Holly molly, they really are stunning all of them!!!!!!!
Wow! Stunning it IS!! No wonder your son likes it! Love the added animals and the 3-d blocks! Amazing!
I don't know about stunning but this is my favorite quilt. There were some challenges in here for me-not enough focus fabric, scalloped borders. Anyway, I love it and loved every minute I worked on it.
Bailey, your quilt is amazing. The zebras and leopard and lion are so fun. You son must love it.
My most stunning and favorite quilt has to be my Sylvia's Bridal Sampler, called Sylvia & Louise. I made it in the year after my mother, Louise, passed away. It was definitely my therapy and got me through that tough time. It's held together with thread and tears and there is love in every stitch. Miss you, Mom!

Sending kids back to school can be an expensive business.
From deciding which brand of exercise books to buy from the stationery list, to school uniforms and new iPads - the bill can quickly tally to thousands.
Budget advice website sorted.org.nz says 36,000 Kiwi families needed financial help in 2011 from the Ministry of Social Development to get their kids back to school.
Tips on how to trim this year's costs.
The key to making it through the beginning of term without getting in more debt, or needing financial assistance, is to create a back-to-school money plan, sorted.org.nz says.
"List everything each of your children will need, including uniforms and shoes, new school clothes, school bags, fees, text and exercise books and stationery, bus or train passes and after-school care. Then, write the cost of each item and add them up. If the final sum is enough to make you consider home-schooling, ask where you can cut some of the costs.
"Work out what is essential and must be paid at the beginning of the year and which costs can be delayed another term, or spread out across the year to make your household budget more manageable."
The Australian Scholarships Group's (ASG) Education Programs New Zealand advises prioritising back-to-school purchases with high-expense items at the top of the list - where the biggest savings can be made.
"Use the internet to shop around for prices and compare value."
ASG also recommends adopting the three Rs - reduce, reuse and recycle - by buying less, swapping items between your children and other families, and reusing items from around the house for school.
Website Kiwi Families says before hitting the shops for new back-to-school merchandise, first check in last year's school bag. "Just because it's on their list, doesn't mean they need it. Tip their school bag out and see what items have survived. I know children love to get new stuff every year, but things like ring-binders, dividers and art folders can often be reused."
While stationery packs for new entrants cost only about $16, for older students, who may need a tablet computer such as an iPad (which retail upward of $700), the total back-to-school cost becomes increasingly daunting in the long run."

One possibility opened up by all this processing power we have now is the use of complex multi-effects configurations built by the user. You can build all kinds of crazy sound processing machinery using systems designed for this purpose like Max or Pure Data, or systems designed to be synthesizers with audio input options, such as Reaktor or the Nord Modular.
Something I've enjoyed doing from time to time for experimental purposes is wiring up a crazy, complex signal chain all through my studio, creating feedback loops along the lines of the things I've seen Eno set up. You have to include compressors or limiters in the loop so the setup doesn't just feedback on itself into an ever-increasing racket. Often this just creates a hum, or a throbbing oscillation, but sometimes it can be useful.
I think there's some truth to this -- processing power has increased greatly, but effects processors have not changed conceptually in a long time.
I think this is a very good point and I tend to share your 'negative amazement', Seren !An example of re-inventing the wheel is all those emulations of tube style overdrive / distortion - a technology that is pretty ancient in itself. As regards FX in general, I think thats a more interesting area these days.
I'd like to tease a theme out of the middle of another thread.........after almost 20 years of neither listening to recorded music, nor recording music I was very surprised when I started dipping my toes back in to the river again.In some ways I was positively amazed - the things digital synths and DAWs can now do would have taken a building the size of Rockfield recording studios in the 70's and 80's (when I was recording) to achieve.In other ways I was negatively amazed - despite all the advancements, effects units appeared to be basically the same, more complicated, more powerful, but still focussed around the same set of processes that had been around for years - reverb, phase, flange, echo, filters, ring mod etc.I know I may not have looked hard enough or in the right place, but I am surprised about this - I would be very happy to be corrected and guided to interesting effects or other sound processingPlease discuss:
Hi Immersion - my initial post was considering the lack of any 'new' kind of effect not whether old or new versions are better or not than each other.I think I am surprised that no one has come up with something really new in the 20 years or so I was out of the loop - unless of course, as I said, people can direct me to effects I've not heard of yet. Granular synthesis is one thing I had heard of, but not found anything recommended to start exploring with on a novice basis - any recommendations welcome people....Anyone here building phaser effects units, pm me please.....
I think I am surprised that no one has come up with something really new in the 20 years or so I was out of the loop - unless of course, as I said, people can direct me to effects I've not heard of yet.
That OTO Biscuit device is pretty interesting. My first response was "ehhh, bit rate reduction... seen it before, heard it before," but the way it was set up with tweakable controls changed my mind. This could be a really useful device to add to the arsenal, especially for those of us who do a lot of improvising or live performance.


text: Thank you Sulabug its a cool pattern! I am nervous to get started but worst case it keeps me up at night. I will have the day tomorrow to play sewing so I will post my efforts good or bad just to share what it took and ask questions which will surely come up. I used to mark with an erasing pencil those 1/4 inch dots is that not a good idea? the kind meant for quilting in white..unless I am using white which would be a tad hard even for my non eagle eyes I am thinking of trying all these in "bali"wood colors just to make things pop a bit and well surely show where I went wrong if I do go wrong.

Advice needed for pentest lab setup
As well as my laptop that dual boots Ubuntu and Backtrack, I also have a reasonable spec PC (with 2 network cards) setup with just Backtrack on and sat on my home network/internet connection.
Have just had a thought that I could run a couple of VM's off my backtrack PC (dam vunerable linux and a poorly patched xp), tie them down to the 2nd network card and connect that to my new WAP so I have something to have a go at when I crack into the WAP.
Bearing in mind that my training WAP is going to be potentially vunerable, whats the best way to secure my backtrack system so I don't allow someone an easy way in.
I plan to put the second network card, vm's and the wap on a class B network address and subnet compared with my class c address for my network but want to do everything else I can to keep the two networks separated on the PC???
