Freedom Chair by Humanscale
Leather Seat and Back, no Headrest
designed by Niels Diffrient
The Freedom Chair is a product of Humanscale, a company focused on providing ergonomic and person centered office chairs to a world sorely in need. Briefly this chair was on track for diplomatic missions abroad, but it was considered too valuable here at home to ship off. With advanced ergonomic design, an original style, and the most patriotic name in our catalogue, the Freedom Chair is a winner for any office.
What's to Like:
Who doesn't like freedom? The freedom to move around in your chair that is. At work, lots of people need to shift positions with regularity so they can stay comfortable, and the Freedom Chair makes this easy and comfortable. The seat and seat back conspire to even make slouching positions easy on the back and legs.
What's Not to Like:
Not every one gets excited about the style of the chair. The double bar armrest support and the indentations that run down the middle of the seat and seat back appeal to some (Freedom lovers) but not to others (Freedom haters).
Bottom Line:
You can argue about the style, but you can't argue with the comfort. This is a unique and very comfortable desk chair.
It may surprise you to hear that Humanscale doesn't really consider itself to be a furniture company. They make furniture, of course, but rather than calling themselves a furniture company, they call themselves an ergonomics company. There isn't an organization out there more committed, driven, and knowledgable about the field of ergonomics than Humanscale.
Humanscale stands for ergonomic furniture. The Freedom Chair is what you might call their Magnum Opus (thus far).
Designed by Niels Diffrient- a man responsible for major advances in the field of ergonomics in the last few decades- the Freedom Chair is held together by a single idea: that sitting down should be simple and comfortable at the same time. This guiding principle has served Humanscale well, as its ergonomic chairs have become standouts in the design world and the office chair market.
Goodbye Manual Adjustments
Niels Diffrient errors on the side of simplicity. The Freedom Chair has a self-adjusting Dual Pivot backrest that supports the lumbar area of your back no matter how much you're sitting forward or how much you're reclining. There's no back stop, no tension adjustment. There is a height adjustment on the back of the chair, and once you've set this to fit the lumbar area of your back, you can stop thinking about how to adjust your chair's controls to make it more comfortable.
Revolutionary Counterbalance Mechanism
The Freedom Chair was meant to be reclined in. Niels Diffrient once stated that the most ergonomic seating position is to be laying down. Since that's unfortunately not an option at home or in the office, the next best thing is to lean back in your Freedom Chair. Its groundbreaking counterbalance mechanism automatically supplies the optimal amount of recline tension for your body weight and size.
The leather version of the Freedom Chair comes with a standard foam seat. If you want the gel seat, please visit our fabric version.
Materials & Measurements
The graphite and titanium bases are made of hard plastic to match the plastic frame of the chair. The base is also available in polished aluminum.
A foam seat comes with the leather upholstered version of the Freedom Chair.
Armpads are available with Duron covers over foam (Duron is a soft urethane plastic material)or gel. Both Duron and gel armpads are available with or without upholstery to match your seat.
A seat depth: 16.25" - 18.5"
B seat height: 16" - 21" (standard); 15.25" - 19.5" (low); 17" - 22.25" (tall)
C seat width: 21"
D backrest height: 18" - 21"
E chair width: 27.25"
F armrest height: 5" - 11"
G armrest length: 13" (standard); 14.25" (advanced)
H distance between armrests: 20" (standard); 11.5" - 21.5" (advanced)
I height (no headrest): 33.5" - 41.5"
L base diameter: 25"
O backrest width: 21"
The Freedom Chair is built with dozens of materials, all of which were chosen carefully to keep you comfortable, keep the chair light and easy to move, or to give you options for self-styling. One of the most important materials, which resides in the seat of the chair, is the special gel that makes this particular office chair so comfortable to sit in. This gel allows your body weight to be evenly supported over the whole area of the seat, and that keeps lumps, pressure and undue discomfort out of the equation.
After half an hour of sitting or more, studies have shown the gel seats like the one on the Freedom Chair result in a 60 reduction in max pressure. That's a stunning number in a short period of time (most people sit up to 7 or 8 hours a day at work). Because the gel is more of a liquid than a solid, pressure can be much more evenly and effectively relieved than with a foam or solid seat chair.
Gel is also long lasting, meaning you'll be happy in your chair for a long time. Foam can tear, wear down, and need to be replaced. With our gel seats you won't have that problem.

Designer of the Freedom Chair, the Liberty Chair, and the Diffrient Light, Niels Diffrient is internationally recognized as a premier designer in the field of ergonomics. Diffrient is a world-renowned and world-travelled designer who has worked with some of the greatest aesthetic and ergonomic designers of this or any century. Diffrient was trained at the Cranbrook Academy of Art where he was able to win the First Medal of Design 3 times during his tenure. After graduation he spent time traveling and working in Europe, thanks to a Fulbright Scholarship he had won. Aside from his obvious bonafides in the realm of furniture design, he also has a background in aeronautical engineering.
Diffrient has created many wonderful chairs in his long career. The Freedom Chair is among the most recent, but he was also responsible for the Diffrient Light Chair and the Liberty Chair. Diffrient co-authored the original three part book on modern ergonomic design, title "Humanscale." It was he who helped to lay out clearly and with great aesthetic and scientific insight the way forward for office chairs, and indeed all types of human-centric furniture design.
The Freedom Chair is one of his greatest accomplishments. It combines his love of design with his passion for ergonomics and humanistic art. It's a comfortable, ground-breaking chair built by one of the masters.
With a resume that includes collaboration with icons Eero Saarinen and Marco Zanuso, a background in aeronautical engineering, and numerous design awards, Niels Diffrient is undoubtedly one of the most influential designers of the past 50 years.
Born in 1928 in Star, Mississippi, Diffrient attended Wayne State University and eventually enrolled in the Cranbrook Academy of Art, where he won the First Medal of Design three times during his tenure there. After traveling and working in Europe thanks to a Fulbright Scholarship, Diffrient began work at the design firm Henry Dreyfuss Associates, where he would stay for 25 years. While there, he co-authored the three-volume publication Humanscale. This work summarized his design principles which were rooted in the belief that the human body should drive design for products that humans will interact with. In his own words: "A design should look good and be appealing, but without compromising human factors. Aesthetics should enhance the technical side, not deter from it."Read the story behind Niels Diffrient and the Freedom Chair

Design Story
This particular version of the Freedom Chair comes complete with a fine leather seat (instead of cloth) handcrafted and perfectly adapted to the body of the chair. You can choose between three different types of leather (depending on your personal taste) including Vicenza, Acqua, and Cervo. Each brings their own distinctive spin to an already fabulous office chair. Each also comes with a different set of color options. When you go with Vicenza leather you can select either a Black, Dark Brown, Night Blue, or Saddle coloring. If Acqua is more your speed, choose from Aquitania, Black Sea, Cote de Azur, Flying Dutchman, Leviathan, and many more. Cervo offers options in Aveto, Campigna, Metaponto, and more. As with other versions of the chair, you also have lots of options when it comes to the type of armrest you want, the finish on the base of the chair, and the kinds of wheels or casters you like best.
No matter which color or style of leather you choose, the chair you receive will be among the finest examples of contemporary office design in our catalogue. Humanscale has always focused on making their products the most ergonomically sound on the market, and the Freedom Chair is one of their crowning achievements.

Town Square
Peace and Justice Center
Original post made by Stephen Rock, Another Palo Alto neighborhood, on May 16, 2007
several members of the PPJC board of directors are Jewish. The PPJC has never condoned anti-Semitism and has never knowingly had an anti-Semitic speaker at any of its events.. PPJC events are open to the public and there is often a question and answer period. Occasionally people with anti-Semitic views take advantage of our free speech policy to present their abhorrent views. We have tried, within the limits of nonviolent behavior, to isolate those individuals, have asked them to leave, and have refrained from giving them the microphone.
I have never heard anyone from the PPJC support the terrorist murders of Jews in Buenos Aires that Ms. Roth referred to, or any other murders. As for the specific comments that Roth refers to it is important to note that the speakers at PPJC events give their own opinions and are not controlled by the PPJC. Quoting people out of context, as Ms. Roth did, is never a good policy. Here is some background about one of the speakers' remarks.
Stanford history professor Joel Benin is Jewish and grew up in Israel where some of his family still lives. His remark about the US and Israel being responsible for the election of Hamas is probably controversial, but certainly sensible. Clearly the attack on the World Trade Center had a profound effect on US politics. Much has been said about how without the scare associated with terrorism George Bush would not have been re-elected. One of leading presidential candidates entire campaign is based on his being the Mayor of NYC when the attack occurred. So if US politics can be so influenced by a terrorist attack, it is not unreasonable to argue that the Palestinian elections would be influenced by the perception of the US and Israel as enemy terrorists.
Roth is concerned that some PPJC speakers thought that
Nasrallah, the leader of Hamas, is a not a "lunatic", or "not an Osama bin Laden" . Does she construe these words to mean praise for Nasrallah? Obviously one can have a very low opinion of an individual and still not question their sanity or think there are others who are even worse. Perhaps the issue is more about the wisdom of negotiating with people who you disagree with. The PPJC has consistently called for negotiations rather than violence to settle disputes. In the Middle
East, the eye for an eye policy has not led to security for anyone.
In summary, some people may not like the views expressed at Peace and Justice Center events. They do not express the majority viewpoint. You can turn on the TV or radio or read your newspaper for those. However, comparisons with Nazism stretch the bounds of rationality.

As usual when an organization like PPJC is called to task for their clear anti-Israel record, which is not limited to Israel bashing and the palestinians are always right and the evil Israelis are alwyas wrong, they alwyas like to bring out the fact that jews belong to the organization. to which I reply--so what. Jews are entitled to form their own opinions and to support any terrorist organization they want--this appears to be the case given the record of some of the Jews featured as members of PPJC.
the point is that PPJC has always been a virulently anti-Israel orgnization and has made excuses for any actions taken by the palestinian terrorists to destroy Israel. Rather than trying to make a constructive contribution towards peace in the region, they have served as a mouthpiece and apologist for the actions of palestinian murderers, terrorists and homicide bombers(not to mention their support for Hezbollah as well).

The center is opposed to the concept of self defense primarily because they can hide safely behind responsible adults.
a resident of Ventura
on May 16, 2007 at 10:40 pm
Judging by the news links that the PPJC sees fit to link to post in their section on the Mideast, you'd never know that Hamas or Hezbollah ever committed or even endorsed an act of terrorism. You'd never know that Fatah and Hamas are almost at war with each other. The only news that counts at PPJC is news that casts Israel in a bad light. Such a one-sided presentation of information suggests neither peace nor justice. Just call them the Peninsula Center.

I think the reason why Koreans love Yuna Kim is because she sort of reflects the history of the country. After the WW2 + the Korean War, South Korea was just a poor country totally destroyed, but they succeeded in rebuilding the country with impressive economic development. Kim was talented, but had to consider quitting the sport several times because of her family's financial situation. However, she managed to overcome all the obstacles (financial problems, injuries, conflicts with the skating union and management agency) and became the world champion in figure skating where the country never imagined having a world-level skater. So, how can't Koreans love this young lady?
I'm interested in K-pop and get amazed whenever I see korean fans buy everything their stars advertise even if they don't need them. They even buy same CDs and mp3 files so that their beloved singers can be ranked high in music charts. They are very loyal that they protect and defend their stars' wrongdoing. And Yuna is the star of the nation, no wonder she has a super influence on the whole country.
Furthermore, the visual characteristics of the sport, her nice look, mercy and clean private life should boost her popularity. Just my two cents

Figure88, I don't understand what's there to be so defensive about? Isn't it good that Yuna is so loved? She certainly deserves every bit of it for the inspiration she brings to her country. You brought up Yoon-A, but I think while they are both popular, Yuna is also kinda worshipped in addition to being adored.
I guess to give people some comparisons to what I personally think Yuna's popularity is like in her country, I'd probably cite Michael Jordan in the States and Canadian Men's Hockey team after their victory today as examples.
As an American who follows K-POP, it's clear Kim Yuna is a big deal. All the K-pop blogs I read have had several posts about Kim Yuna winning the OGM. And Kim Yuna has done CFs with pop groups, such as the Wonder Girls. (see: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YbfSUtwL-Fo) And Kim Yuna had her own New Year's special last year on KBS2 that included a duet with Taeyeon of Girls' Generation, a very popular Korean girl group. (Figure 88 mentioned Yoona, who is a member of the same group.) see: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EIz4Tn5gfl0
hmmm...i don't think that lindsey vonn is a very good example of american sports celebrity. she is being pushed by NBC as one of the biggest stars of the olympics, but that's mostly NBC trying to get the US behind her and by extension, boost their own ratings. most americans couldn't give two cents about vonn and how she does. if she does well, then cool. if she doesn't, then whatever. lol.
cross-posting this link. someone posted this in the yu na kim forum. featured yuna's parents during the ladies' free skate. it was very interesting to see how her parents were unable to watch from their seats. and they also shed some tears after her performance.

ETA: OK I reread some of your posts and I guess you're feeling that South Korea appears as a fanatic whose worth is dependent on whether Yuna Kim gets the gold. I don't really sense that all. But I still wonder you're downplaying her fame in Korea in order to make that point.

Please excuse me if I am totally off the topic of this thread, but I am wondering why there is no you tube being uploaded on any tv coverage of Yuna Kim from the Olympics. I understand the US and Canada networks have banned uploading but usually there are tons of SBS Korea stuff on Yuna right after any events. I don't see any from the olympics. Have they banned uploading too?
Let's go back to the topic.
We all agree that Yuna is very big in Korea and with the OGM, she's even become bigger.
But how about in other countries? How much is she known to non figure fans? I think her popularity will grow in time.
And one of the reasons that (almost) everyone in Korea and Japan gets so excited this rivalry turns out, we could somewhat agree with.
Thank you correcting me about the fact. You are probably right but some Japanese must have been discouraged by the result. That's only natural.
I think some postes and bloggers as well as some reporters only see what they want to see and write based on prejudice.
By the way, Ito Midori's triple axel was awesome, really impressive. That is THE 3A. Asada may want to learn from her.

Dave hackenburg has a recipe on his site designed for his needs.
Scientific beekeeper has lots of good information.
Bee-L has some information if you dig around.
I don't have a great deal of experience but wanted something that fit my needs better than the commercial stuff. I think I may have a good base and I'm continuing to read, learn and try different things.
Here is a link to a thread I started that gives a general idea. The pattie I want should deal with problems specific to my area and situation so you may not feel the sugar needs to be as high etc. The recipe amounts are ballpark amounts you will need to do the math to get % where you want them.
As I try to develop a product that gives me the best value, it's becoming more apparent that how I use it is very important to the outcome.
Working within the boundry of % of ingredients and understanding what vitamins and minerals and how to provide them in balance is where I need to focus next.
I think the pattie I have easily offers 2x the value of the commercial stuff I've tried.
Disclaimer I don't have much experience, haven't tried every product and may not of mixed or applied them correctly.

Ford Offers $10k Discount on Leases for Slow Selling Focus EV

$10,750 discount includes $7,500 federal tax credit
Electric vehicles aren't exactly selling in droves for automakers around the world. Many of today's highly efficient gasoline-engine vehicles are offering such high fuel efficiency ratings that it makes little sense to pay the extra money for hybrids or EV for many consumers (that is unless you
live in California
Ford is trying to get customers to lease its Focus EV electric vehicle and is offering significant discounts to land buyers. Ford has announced that it has dropped the base price of the Focus EV by $2,000 on cash purchases. Ford is also offering as much is $10,750 off the cost of a three-year lease.
Ford also plans to offer 1.9% financing on the Focus EV if purchased through Ford Motor Credit. The Focus EV didn't have a good 2012 with Ford selling only 685 of 1,627 vehicles it built. That sales rate made the Focus EV one of the
worst performers
in the industry.
Ford isn't alone in having to discount its electric vehicles to get consumers more interested; Nissan also recently dropped the price of its 2013 Leaf by 18%. The Leaf now
starts at $28,800
and Nissan is offering new incentives to help boost sales.
"We certainly are not in a situation where we have to completely discount but we do have to respond to competitive pressures," Ford spokesman Wes Sherwood said. "We're not anywhere close where Nissan has gone with the Leaf."
The Ford lease offer is on Red Carpet leases if buyers take retail delivery by April 1. If the buyer meets those conditions, they will receive $10,750 off (a figure which includes the $7,500 federal tax credit).
The MSRP for the Focus EV base model is $39,995, while the new price for cash purchases is $37,995.

The Web would make a dandy blackboard if only we could scribble an equation
Brian Hayes
How will it all turn out? Will Web sites of the future be chock full of MathML, or will TeX and HTML continue to prevail? Or will something else altogether come along?
I have no answers for these questions, but I want to suggest an adjustment in the way the Web works—a small change that could improve any strategy for displaying mathematical notation. It has to do with where fonts come from.
Under the present rules, a Web author can request a particular font, and the reader's browser will honor the request if the font is available on the client machine. If not, some default font is substituted. Wouldn't it be more helpful if the author could supply the missing font, either by embedding it directly in the page or by referring the browser to a site where the font is available? Given such a mechanism, any font-based system for presenting mathematics could ensure that all the needed symbols are ready at hand.
This is not a new idea. A proposal for "Webfonts" was included in a draft CSS standard in 1998, and the idea was even implemented in a few browsers, including Microsoft's Internet Explorer. But the proposal never caught on, and it was removed from later versions of the standard. Recently, Håkon Wium Lie of Opera Software has called for renewed consideration of the idea.
Much of the discussion centers on legal questions of interest to the owners of typeface copyrights. This doesn't seem like an insuperable problem. It was solved in the case of PDF files, which do embed fonts. Even if proprietary typefaces were off limits, there are enough freely available fonts—including all those commonly used with TeX—to make the prospect attractive.
For a change of this kind to have any impact, all the browser makers would have to adopt it. Those are the same people who have so far resisted implementing MathML. Why would they treat the font proposal any differently? I think there is reason for optimism on this score, not because the mathematical community has much clout but because embedded fonts would be of value to other constituencies. Advertisers, in particular, would be pleased to gain greater control over Web typography.
Meanwhile, as I finish preparing this column for the press, I also face the task of helping to get my own penalty copy ready for publication on the American Scientist Web site. Those irksome equations and curious characters I've been writing about will somehow have to be made Web-friendly. I don't know exactly how we're going to do that, but I suspect some bicycles are going to be outfitted with spinnakers and jibs.

From Parameters, Summer 2001, pp. 125-26.
The Brookings Institution Press continues its reputation for excellence with the publication of a number of recent works examining US defense strategy and the American security agenda. John D. Steinbruner's Principles of Global Security, an analysis of the effects of globalization on national and international security policies, includes insights into the management of military forces, control of civilian conflict, and weapons of mass destruction, and issues a call for the revamping of security relationships. One of the nation's leading specialists on defense issues, Steinbruner finds that the current US strategy of deterrence will not be sustainable in the new strategic environment. He advocates a policy of "reassurance" to replace dominance and deterrence. The author argues that America's security cannot be achieved unilaterally, and that only through acts of international cooperation--addressing such factors as the globalization of economic activity, advances in information technology, population growth, and the uneven distribution of wealth--will America ever be truly secure. This is a must read for scholars and policymakers involved in the study and development of a strategy for international security in the information age.
Also from the Brookings Institution Press are two new works by Michael E. O'Hanlon. O'Hanlon, a senior fellow in foreign policy studies at Brookings, follows his series of recent publications--Winning Ugly (with Ivo H. Daalder); Technological Change and the Future of Warfare; and How to Be a Cheap Hawk--with the release of Defense Policy Choices for the Bush Administration, 2001-2005. This latest book examines our defense strategy, provides a budget review, looks at current defense capabilities, and provides suggestions for the new Administration. In easily understandable prose the author presents a balanced strategy for dealing with the defense budget. While advocating a reduction in weapon modernization and manpower, O'Hanlon supports a real-dollar increase in the overall defense budget, largely to replace weaponry. The author also provides an illuminating examination of the impacts on US forces and our national defense strategy of the proposed missile defense system, the revolution in military affairs, homeland defense, and a possible China-Taiwan conflict.
In the second work by O'Hanlon, he joins James M. Lindsay (another senior fellow in foreign policy studies at Brookings) in a lucid and comprehensive analysis of the current Administration's announced intention to build a national missile defense system. Their book, Defending America: The Case for Limited National Missile Defense, examines the battle lines between arms control and missile defense advocates. With arms control and missile defense again being at the forefront of America's national security agenda, the authors warn against embarking on a "fool's errand" and building a missile defense fraught with technical flaws. In a detailed, nonpartisan analysis, they review the relevant technologies, assess the current threat, and outline the reactions of America's friends and foes to any decision to build such a system. Lindsay and O'Hanlon conclude that the proposed large-scale system is ill-advised and argue for a much more limited national missile defense.
Ashton B. Carter and John P. White have edited Keeping the Edge: Managing Defense for the Future, a collection of essays that goes to the very heart of many of the problems associated with the means by which America's defense policies are implemented. In an attempt to go beyond simplistic anecdotal analysis of current policies, the editors have collected insights from some of America's most respected and proven defense intellectuals. Resulting from the Preventive Defense Project cosponsored by the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard and Stanford University, the manuscripts contained in this book outline a strategy for preventing future Cold War-scale threats. The underlying thesis of this strategy is "preventive defense," the development of productive security relationships with those nations and leaders around the world who have the ability to influence opportunities for international agreement and cooperation. Although associated with key figures during the Clinton Administration, this examination of a defense strategy based on preventive defense provides insights that many may wish to consider in formulating the tenets of a new national security policy and defense strategy.
When America Fights: The Use of U.S. Military Force by Donald M. Snow examines when, where, why, how, and to what end America employs the use of military force. This is a scathing review of the US involvement in a growing number of peacekeeping operations. Snow addresses the hard questions regarding national interests and the seemingly limitless opportunities for military deployments. However, the real value of this work lies in the author's analysis of likely future patterns of violence and the direction our security policies will take to address them. Snow does not let theory get in the way of practicality in recommending how America should exercise her military power. Rich with bibliographical data and informative indices, this work is a must for students of American foreign policy.
Parameters receives many more books for review than we could ever possibly accommodate. Occasionally during the triage process to decide which books go to the library and which are reviewed, the editor may overlook a deserving work. Often it only takes a colleague's casual remark about the value of a particular book to alert the professional senses; such was the case with Michael D. Pearlman's Warmaking and American Democracy: The Struggle Over Military Strategy, 1700 to the Present. Pearlman, an associate professor of history at the US Army Command and General Staff College, presents what many have termed the first comprehensive study of American war strategy from a domestic perspective. He examines the relationships and divisions among various segments of American society--including political parties, the Congress, the President, branches of the armed services, and soldiers and civilians--to illustrate just how complex, and at times impossible, it is to craft a national strategy. The author uses historical examples to demonstrate how military thinking from different eras created or exacerbated difficulties for national leaders in their attempts to formulate a national security strategy. From the beginnings of America's Army to the present, Pearlman draws on a wide array of political, military, and diplomatic sources, as well as numerous personal interviews, to explain many of America's wartime successes and failures. This is a book that anyone in a position to influence national security thought should read--and inculcate and exercise its dicta. -- RHT

The world may not have come to an end in 2012, but between the flood of phone calls at work and the fires you're putting out at home, it can certainly feel like doomsday.
Avoid an epic meltdown with an Escape to the Riviera Maya, where you'll get a four-night all-inclusive stay at Hacienda Tres Ríos Resort for two adults and up to two children under age six—including a one-day car rental, a photo session, late 2 p.m. checkout, and taxes and service charges—for $1,185.

And leave plenty of time to treat your body and soul with discounted spa treatments at the resort's Ya'ax Che Spa.
The end is near, so don't let this otherworldly Escape slip through your fingers.

This may be a silly question, but I am still a bee-ginner. We had an unfortunate hive die already this winter (NH) and wish to purchase new package and local Queen this spring, but are thinking of transitioning the two deeps to three mediums. My question would be, would it be a mistake to use the drawn comb from this hive's honey super, which is a medium box, in the new medium hive body we are thinking of hiving the new package in? I imagine comb from a honey super has different comb than a brood box frame, for example, no drone cells. If it would be a mistake to use ALL comb from the super, would it be alright to alternate fresh foundation with this drawn comb in the new medium brood box?
Thank you so much for any advice.

2011 MotionScan in Grand Theft Auto?
GTAGaming.com - General News | @ 12:48 PM MDT | By victim
Brendan McNamara, co-founder and president of Team Bondi was asked about MotionScan and how Rockstar were considering using it in some of their upcoming franchises; including Grand Theft Auto and Max Payne.
Brendan had this to say:
"Yeah, I think they're looking at it for every game. As much as LA Noire is a huge game, Grand Theft Auto is incredibly huge, so you've got all the problems of how big the cast would be and how many lines would you have to record and all that kind of stuff. Obviously we'd like them to, and they're more than welcome to use MotionScan, but if they decide it's not right for that and want to use it for another game, then that's fine too. Rockstar will make those decisions. They generally make the right decisions in terms of what they do for their games." L.A. Noire was indeed a huge game, filling three DVD discs to capacity. Would more discs be welcomed for the chance to use MotionScan in a Grand Theft Auto game? Would lifelike performances subtract from GTA's satirical pull? If you're bursting with questions like we are, feel free to post some comments of your own.
Brendan McNamara will go into more detail in the latest issue of PSM3, which is coming out this week.

The dancing feet and booming left-foot punt marked Charles Piutau as a rugby excitement machine.
He had potential with a capital P, but as with many young provincial rugby players, it was a case of seeing whether that sporting package suited the professional stage.
We got a glimpse last year when Piutau was grabbed late from the sevens circuit and pitched into several games for the Blues. His skills were lively and the spark he delivered was infectious.
When Auckland coach Wayne Pivac was working at the Pakuranga club he was sure Piutau would make a much wider impact from fullback than he had done as a wing at Wesley College and for the NZ Schools side.
"He just looked so similar to Mils Muliaina as someone who could play fullback or centre," Pivac recalled.
"He had great balance and so much skill. There were work-ons like making better decisions in his game and his punting but he looked such a huge talent.
"He is a sponge when it comes to rugby coaching, he is a delight to work with. He is intelligent, a workaholic, very strong defensively and in time I think will become a very good leader in teams."
The 21-year-old lit up the landscape in his brief excursions for the Blues last year and had many wondering where this talented young man had been hiding. He had been a work in progress in his new fullback role and was being nurtured towards higher honours.
Once seen on the bigger stage there was little doubt Piutau would survive the drastic cull when John Kirwan and his crew began sifting the players they wanted to retain for the Blues.
"I really enjoyed that first taste of the action," Piutau said.
"I had been playing a lot of sevens and felt really fit so I just went out there to try and enjoy what was happening.
"Being asked to play was just awesome and my headspace was all about attacking and having a go like we did at sevens."
That done, Piutau was in for the regular matchplay in the ITM Cup, a competition where he felt he could really express himself.
"It was a smooth transition and I felt pretty comfortable about coping with the standards," he said. "Everything kind of fell into place and it was very exciting.
"My aim was working on cementing a starting position at fullback and to bring much better consistency to my play.
"Then after that I was trying to balance my game with running, kicking and decision-making."
Piutau left a strong impression with his powerful sidestep, booming left foot punt and strong defence. The off-season and Blues skills sessions have been about adding trimmings to his strong foundation.
There is the decision-making, reading play and scanning the field and beefing up a right foot kicking game in his repertoire.
Blues forwards coach Mick Byrne entered the frame, showing Piutau a range of exercises and drills to boost his expertise while Graham Henry chipped him about his positional play on defence and John Kirwan took him through video clips of his attack plays.
It is not overload for Piutau, he revels in the inquisition but has been frustrated at recent trial games because of a damaged foot.
He returns tonight in the final hit out against the Highlanders before the selectors settle on the side to take on the Hurricanes in the opening match.
As an aspiring coach, Tim Nanai-Williams knows better than anyone he can't take his eye off the ball this year but another solid season at the Chiefs will open up real opportunities at the next level.
With wing Cory Jane's ruptured knee ligament ruling him out until the end of the year at best, Tamati Ellison's shoulder injury needing another six months to come right, talk of an impending sabbatical for Conrad Smith, and Richard Kahui's exit for Toshiba in Japan, an All Blacks call-up is a distinct possibility for the 24-year-old Nanai-Williams.
A specialist wing or fullback, Nanai-Williams has been told by the Chiefs coaches they would like him to play centre at times this season - a position covered by Ellison, Smith and Kahui.
No wonder Nanai-Williams has been hitting the gym with renewed ferocity.
"There are heaps of opportunities for players and hopefully I can put my hand up as well," he said. "That's always the main goal but first of all I really want to impress my coaches here and do the job here before I start looking at the ABs. Yeah, it is in my mind that there's an opportunity but to be really honest I have to get on the grind here with the Chiefs first and make an impact here with the boys."
At 1.82m and 90kg, Nanai-Williams is not a big man, which he freely admits. However, while he is best known for his pace and elusiveness, Nanai-Williams doesn't lack for strength. As he said, his lower centre of gravity can be quite useful.
"I'm not the biggest person as most people know, so I like to use my pace and my evasiveness but also I like to use my strength as well. I can get lower than other players and I do have some power when I get on a weak shoulder as well. I guess speed and agility are my main things... It's being aggressive as well, especially if I am going to play centre.
"I've been working hard in the gym, especially when the coaches told me they were looking at playing me at centre." It's about power and explosiveness to get me through those bigger boys."
Nanai-Williams will be an extremely important member of the Chiefs back line this year, especially in the absence of his cousin Sonny Bill Williams.
With Kahui on the way out - and with a question mark still over his shoulder - the Chiefs will be looking for a long-term replacement in the midfield and Nanai-Williams appears to be it. Without the offloading genius and power of his relative, Nanai-Williams' enthusiasm and X-factor could be crucial in getting the Chiefs over the gain-line.
Having developed his game at Counties, it's no surprise to hear that Tana Umaga, the former All Blacks captain who has helped take the Pukekohe-based team to the ITM Cup Premiership, is a big role model.
"He's played a big part and not just in my game, but for Counties in general and the region. He goes out of his way to know all the players personally and I reckon that's really good as a coach. He's done a lot for Counties. He's got this aura about him. When he's around the boys and he opens his mouth everyone shuts up because they don't want to miss out on anything."
And that's something Nanai-Williams would love to emulate. He has switched his long-term focus from being a PE teacher to a coach, and in particular helping out children in south Auckland suburbs such as Manurewa.
"I didn't know I was so passionate about it until I started going to schools and helping kids out with their skills."
- Patrick McKendry

text: Many will disagree, but I would suggest getting a 9mm over the .40. I've seen many a new shooter get a .40 (and no instruction) end up developing horrible flinching issues. Get the 9mm, get some training, doesn't have to be ninja academy stuff, but a local class at the range etc. is a good start. All your major service calibers (9mm, .40, .45 etc.) perform pretty darn close to one another when using modern jacked hollow points of reputable manufacture.

i've only got as far as buying the templates. i love that pattern and can't wait to see the postings.
I have the templates but am nervous about sewing the curves so I have not tried it yet.
No, have not made one yet. A like uncomfortable with curves right now.
I posted mine about a month ago. Here is a link... http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-121953-1.htm
I used an Easy Circle Cut Ruler to cut squares (green, blue, gold, brown) into two pieces, one being the pie the other being the crust. Then I cut red squares. I then machine appliqued the crust and pie pieces onto the red squares. I trimmed the red that was not needed then went about putting it together like a regular quilt! 16 squares = a block, 5 blocks wide x 5 blocks long, quilt is 100x100
LOL, I replied to the old post------------it's a beauty. I'm sorry I missed it the first time around.

I don't make large quilts but here are a few of the hotpads I have made in the past with the Drunkard's Path blocks.

After Saturday's 45-22 win against Indiana, someone flat out asked the 43-year-old: Are you going to be Penn State's coach next year?
Surely that was an opportunity for O'Brien to pledge his commitment to Nittnay nation. Surely that was the time for him to say despite the national accolades he's receiving, despite the rumors that are floating around, he wants to be at Penn State for the long haul.
Instead? O'Brien was coy, vague and perhaps a bit defensive.
"There's no story there," the coach said, adding he thought the media planted the story last week by mentioning NFL openings. "I'm focused on one game at a time. I'm focused on this football team."
- We continue to hear that the two most likely coaches to land at Arkansas are Mike Gundy and Gary Patterson. We don't believe the Gruden chatter. While we believe he may have expressed interest, we don't believe he'd take the job.
our coach. Who still lives in Fayetteville, AR. which we should rehire.
we should rehire.
dude we had 17 returning starters from a team that beat Kansas State in the Cotton Bowl the previous year. We returned more starters than Kansas State and they were the number 1 team in the nation for a week. If we had not lost Petrino then we would have 8 or 9 wins this season and would have gone to a bowl. Do not tell me we were not talented we were, do not tell me that they tried but it did not work. The discipline and work ethic went off the road and into the ditch with our coach. Who still lives in Fayetteville, AR. which we should rehire.

C Code Explanation
Also, I'm going through the shell coders handbook and have a question..
So we are overflowing the following program:
I compiled it with the mpreferred-stack-boundary=2 option.
Ran it in the same operating system and CPU type as the examples.. this applies to other examples from other sources as well.. so why is it that the amount of memory the cpu allocates on the stack always different.
In the book when this program is run through gdb and return_input is disassembled.. it shows sub $0x20, %esp a.k.a 32.. but on my computer it shows 0x24 or 36...
shouldn't the buffer be the same?
also, this was the same case when I was following along with the BoF series at securitytube.net ... the funny thing though.. was that the code he provided worked for me.. even though gdb showed that we had different memory sizes allocated...

Excerpt: "The quarterbacks room at the Quest Diagnostics Training Center may need a few extra chairs this season. They'll at least need them for the upcoming Organized Team Activities (OTAs) and minicamp.
The Giants have spent most of coach Tom Coughlin's tenure with just two quarterbacks on his roster. Right now, after signing former Titans QB Rusty Smith, the Giants have five, two fresh off surgery.
Smith joins the recently signed Josh Freeman, the recently re-signed Curtis Painter and last year's fourth-round pick Ryan Nassib in the competition for the backup job. And then, of course, there is starter Eli Manning, who underwent an ankle procedure earlier this month and isn't expected to be a full-go until training camp.
No matter how much he gets on the field this spring, Manning's going to be the Giants' starting quarterback. He's still the franchise QB making $17.5 million this season. You don't pocket that type of cash to sit on the bench.
As long as he's healthy -- and everything seems to indicate he will be fine come camp -- Manning won't face any serious challenge for his job. The real competition will be for the backup job.
Now at this point, we can only assume what the offense will look like under new coordinator Ben McAdoo. The Giants haven't taken it on a field yet. They're still in the learning mode.
But based on Manning's comments last week that it's McAdoo's offense and it resembles the Packers' scheme, it's probably safe to assume the Giants will be running a West Coast-heavy system this season. That needs to be taken into consideration when trying to handicap the backup competition. Short, quick passes will be the norm. Accuracy will be the key.
As it stands right now, here's my take on the chances for each quarterback to be Eli Manning's primary backup when the season begins in September.
QB: Ryan Nassib
Status: The Favorite
Why: The Giants selected him in the fourth round last year. It's uncommon to give up on a fourth-round pick after one year, especially after the new offensive coordinator only had a few months to work with him. Nassib will be given every opportunity to win and earn the backup spot behind Manning ... if he doesn't get traded. Fortunately, the new offense should work in his favor.

Ford boss Alan Mulally likes three-cylinder engines. He's even been photographed kissing one.
That's understandable, because the three-pot, 1-litre version of Ford's Ecoboost engine family has been critically acclaimed from the moment it went into production about this time last year.
It's the smallest engine Ford has ever produced: quite literally, as one of its claims to fame is that it can fit on an A4 sheet of paper.
It's already used in a number of Ford models and will even be launched in New Zealand later this year, in the facelifted Fiesta range. This turbo engine is no mere curiosity, producing 74kW - as much as a standard engine with 25 per cent more capacity, yet with combined economy of 4.3 litres per 100km.
It points towards the positive future of Ford engines: low-capacity, high-output, deeply impressive economy. In top trim the Ecoboost triple is capable of 92kW ... hence the kiss.
For us enthusiasts, the Ecoboost triple-treat also emphasises that green engines need not be dull. Because there's something about a three-cylinder engine, don't you think?
Fewer cylinders are employed in the pursuit of ultimate economy, but a three-cylinder engine operating on a four-stroke cycle is subject to all kinds of imbalances and subtle vibrations that produce a unique, rather charming feel.
No coincidence, surely, that the companies embracing this new trend of three-cylinder engines are also those intent upon making the most interesting cars? Volkswagen has a history of three-cylinder cars in Europe and has most recently produced the Up! city car - again, highly acclaimed, although it's on the back-burner for New Zealand as the likely price is deemed too high for now. However, Skoda is having a serious think about its version of the car, called Citigo: two evaluation vehicles are in Auckland as we speak.
If you didn't think the thrum of three pots would sit well with the ultimate driving machine, think again. BMW has produced a 1.5-litre three-cylinder engine that will be used in future versions of the 1Series, and in its new front-drive small car (known now as Compact Active Tourer, but possibly to be called the 1 Series GT) and, of course, the futuristic i8 pseudo-supercar, in hybrid form. Not to mention the next-generation Mini, which we should see in production later this year - thus ending BMW's 1.6-litre four-cylinder engine partnership with Peugeot.
Ford, VW and BMW all claim to have toned down the more overt aural idiosyncrasies of their new engines. But not by too much, we hope. They are all interesting cars.
Perhaps the greatest compliment that can be paid to the three-cylinder engine is that it can turn a potentially dull conveyance into an enjoyable machine. Take the latest Mitsubishi Mirage: like the Daihatsu Charade before it, an honest, unpretentious small car built down to a price, but also one imbued with character by the power of three.

Where To Bring Your Bunny: London Olympic Edition
We dish out the hottest places to eat, stay, and indulge with your Bunny this Summer Olympiad.
Bunnies and gentlemen, we're only a week or so away from the kickoff of the 2012 Summer Olympic Games where the world's most talented, determined and fierce athletes will join together for two weeks of nonstop adrenaline-pumping competition that will keep viewers on the edge of their seats. As we're all about experiencing the action firsthand, we present to you our guide to where to stay, eat and play this Olympiad.

The Wolseley
160 Piccadilly, London www.thewolseley.com
A grand café in the European tradition, the Wolseley is a class act when it comes to experiencing an authentic British sit-down at one of the most swanky locales to see and be seen. Start with a rock oyster platter from Jersey, then continue your culinary experience with the succulent confit of duck or Loch Duart salmon with mint peas, finishing with the glorious Kaiserschmarren with plum compote for dessert. Tea and scones are optional.
Whisky Mist
35 Hertford Street, London www.whiskymist.com
If you haven't heard the royal news, Playboy's September cover model will be burlesque dancer and, more importantly, Kate Middleton's second cousin Katrina Darling, a purported Barclay's analyst who decided to throw in the towel for something a little more revealing, such as a "God Save the Queen" routine. We understand that you might prefer not to wait until the mag's August 17th drop date; grab your favorite Bunny and head over to catch a (private) preview alongside Princes William and Harry as they take in the charms of our new favorite member of the British Royal Family.
The Penthouse
1 Leicester Square, London www.thepenthouselondon.com
A notorious establishment in every sense, the Penthouse in Leicester is a roaring carnival of glamcore debauchery set to the hottest British R&B, Top 40 and club bangers the nation's top DJs can dish out. Located in the nightlife core, the Penthouse lives up to its name in its prime spot on the 6th, 7th and 8th floors, giving the partygoers a chance to rock out level with the brilliant skyline while getting down with the likes of Kate Moss and Kelly Brook.
The Playboy Club London
14 Old Park Lane, London www.playboyclublondon.com
While of course our London Playboy Club offers its members access 24/7, Olympic partygoers can indulge in this world-class Mayfair nightlife destination if you play your cards right. We'd suggest starting at the Dining Room, where Iron Chef Judy Joo presides, followed by a jaunt to the Cottontail Lounge to catch yourself a Bunny or two. If you're lucky, maybe they'll agree to compete in your own private bedroom Olympics.
While London has plenty of museums, attractions, and delights to behold, while the Olympics are on, the only thing you should be paying attention to in your free time is bodies of the gorgeous female athletes who come to make their mark. Check out these events and our full guide here:
41 Hotel
41 Buckingham Palace Road, London www.41hotel.com

A constant awardee in the travel circuit, you and your Bunny can look forward to staff outnumbering the guests two-to-one, the daily "Plunder the Pantry" in the executive lounge, and some exhibitionism in your glass-canopied Conservatory Master Suite (make sure to smile for the military drones hovering over the city!)
Royal Park
3 Westbourne Terrace, London www.theroyalpark.com
Situated in the upscale Hyde Park area of London, the Royal Park is a luxury boutique hotel in a restored 19th century townhouse complex close to Kensington Palace, the Royal Albert and Harrods; an ideal spot to escape the massive crowds that characteristically follow these sporting events. We'd suggest grabbing a Hendrick's gin and tonic on the backyard terrace or treating your Bunny to some bubbly on your private balcony before heading out for a night on the town.
Still not luxury enough for you? Check out our 1% Travel Guide: Olympic Edition!

I sure hope not, nor do I think that's even a remote possibility. Way, way too much talent should be on the board when we pick. I don't personally don't think Elam is a first round talent, mid to late 2nd at most. I can't even picking a safety until many other needs are addressed.
With all that said I don't like Elam at all and unless he slips so far it's worth a gamble I think he has bust written all over him.
