Vietnam and America's war of 38 years ago are still very much a part of our country's consciousness today. Now the US is again invading and occupying overseas. Yet Vietnam remains a painful enigma to most Americans, even those touched directly by the conflict. Global Exchange offers a unique look at this remarkably beautiful and dynamic nation. Neither a "tour of the battle fields," nor a "shopping and eating spree in the beauty spots," those who join the tour will see the real Vietnam as it is today.

Little Things Add Up
An article covering this aerospace manufacturer's revamped approach to tool management didn't touch on a number of smaller process improvements that other shops could possibly implement in their own operations.
Every second counts at an operation that depends on seven flexible machining cells that run nearly 140 hours per week. Shown here is the company's latest, consisting of four Makino A51 HMCs serviced by a rail-guided pallet shuttle.
Virtually any shop visit can reveal small insights or tidbits of information that readers might find useful, yet don't make the resulting article. That was the case when I visited Applied Engineering to explore how tight control of cutting tool inventory facilitates tight control of manufacturing processes. Courtesy of project manager Brad Bohnet, here are a few examples of small process changes that have made an outsized impact at this Yankton, South Dakota aerospace manufacturer—and might do the same for your shop, too.
- Don't wait to rapid. For a long time, standard procedure for any of the company's 29 HMCs was to fully stop the spindle, then rapid over to the in-machine probe to check for tool breakage or wear. Now, that move starts immediately, and it is timed so that the spindle stops revolving just prior to reaching the probe. This saves only about 2 seconds, but given that such moves occur approximately 20 times per hour per machine, and each machine runs at least 100 hours per week year-round, the accumulated time savings are substantial.
- Don't stop the drip. Broken tool alarms are sometimes triggered not by an actual breakage, but by an anomaly, such as shaving stuck on the end of a tap. Until recently, such incidents would stop the "drip feed" of programs into the machine. This could result in anywhere between 5 and 15 minutes of downtime as the operator searched for the appropriate tool to restart the program. In response, the company developed a "soft" tool alarm that stops the machine, but allows he operator to check, clean and re-check the tool without ending the drip feed. This has increased machine availability throughout the shop floor by more than 1,500 hours per year.
- Don't overblow it. Each machine is equipped with a fan that blows chips and coolant off of tombstones at the end of a machining cycle. Given that any given tombstone might hold a variety of different parts, each with its own program, this often resulted in running the fan cycle multiple times before the tombstone cycled out of the machine. Now, the company employs a macro that runs the fan cycle only once for every tombstone. The resulting time savings of 1 to 3 minutes per tombstone adds up to approximately 750 machining hours per year.

The Destination
It's hard to get more quintessentially New England than "The Cape." Characterized by rocky shorelines, stalwart lighthouses, and bays bobbing with sailboats, Cape Cod looks like a scene lifted off a postcard. All walks of life converge here: From the wealthy families and US presidents who summer in Hyannisport, to the lobstermen who troll the shores of Falmouth, party-goers seeking the nightlife of Provincetown, Cape Cod is ready to greet any weary traveler with open arms—and perhaps a serving of delicious fried scrod.
The Digs
Bayside Resort in West Yarmouth, a classic New England town on the edge of Lewis Bay, is just 80 minutes from Boston and steeped in history. Named the top Mid Cape Resort/Hotel by Cape Cod Life, Bayside Resort features two floors and 128 rooms, each appointed with one king, two queens, or two doubles; high-speed wireless Internet; cable TV; a refrigerator; and more.
After an included continental breakfast, ease into the day with a quick stint in the sauna, followed by a dip in the indoor pool and a cocktail from Moby Dick Pub. If the kids are along for the ride, gather your quarters and check out the family game room, complete with billiards, a foosball table, and vintage arcade games. And when it's time to explore Cape Cod, you'll find yourself in the perfect place to hop on the ferry to Nantucket or Martha's Vineyard.
The Diversions
• Pop into Yarmouth Port for some shopping
• Nearby Hyannis is home to excellent seafood, particularly at Naked Oyster Bistro & Raw Bar
• Peruse jewelry, furniture, books, and more at the sprawling Antiques Center of Yarmouth
"The Bayside [Resort] overlooks pristine salt marshes and, beyond them, Lewis Bay. Many members of the staff have worked here for years, which helps to explain the resort's family friendly vibe."-- Read Fodor's Review of Bayside Resort

Story highlights
- Farnborough airshow is one of the biggest aviation industry gatherings
- International presence is expected to be at an all-time high, says aviation expert Tim Robinson
- The F-35 will make its international debut; civil drones are on the rise
Every other year in July, the small town of Farnborough in South East England hosts the biggest names in the aviation world. Exhibitors and visitors mingle with the latest technology to hit the skies.
Below, UK Editor-in-Chief of Royal Aeronautical Society's Aerospace magazine, Tim Robinson highlights the themes and big players to watch out for at this year's Farnborough International Airshow.
Touch and go as F-35 aims for international début
Costly white elephant, or next-generation, sensor-fused superfighter? Whatever your view of the Lockheed Martin F-35 Joint Strike Fighter, Farnborough could be the first opportunity for the general public to see the West's latest stealth fighter outside of the U.S.
That's, of course, only if the aircraft overcomes a last minute fleet grounding following an engine glitch to fly across the Atlantic.
The UK, as a key industrial and strategic partner for the F-35, is set to acquire the fifth generation fighter, in its 'B' vertical-lift version for the UK's Royal Air Force and Royal Navy's Fleet Air Arm. This UK visit, then, could see an order being placed for the first 14 F-35Bs.
While the fighter will wow the crowds with its vertical hovering in the air display, for the military top brass the most exciting features -- including its advanced sensors, helmet display and stealth -- are under the skin.
Should the F-35 miss the showcase of Farnborough, this will provide extra ammunition for its detractors -- and its absence would be a big talking point.
One positive point however, for the aircraft's recent engine fire, is it happened on the ground where engineers can study and solve the problem.
New contenders
While the home team will be riding high -- thanks to the UK government's support for its R&D and space sector -- Farnborough is truly a global airshow and showcase for the aerospace industry around the world --with over two-thirds of 1,500 exhibitors coming from outside the UK.
New countries represented this year include Malaysia, Tunisia and Thailand. While Airbus and Boeing continue to dominate the commercial aircraft industry, new entrants will be using Farnborough to show off their progress.
Expect updates from Brazil's Embraer -- which will have a mockup cabin for its re-engined E2 airliner, Japan's Mitsubishi Aircraft, whose Mitsubishi Regional Jet is now in final assembly, and Russia's Irkut -- developing the MC-21 -- a rival to the A320 and 737. However, one airliner in development that will be notable by its absence at the show is Canada's Bombardier CSeries.
This suffered a serious engine failure on the ground at the end of May, and although ground-testing has resumed, the aircraft now will miss the show.
Finally, the airshow will also see a new military type from the U.S. making its international debut - the Textron Airland Scorpion. The two-seat, jet 'fighter' is a low-cost attack and reconnaissance platform -- aimed at bridging the gap between supersonic expensive fast jets and slower, cheaper turboprops. Will it find a niche?
Rise of the drones
From book delivery by Amazon drone, to Google and Facebook's acquisition of 'high-altitude, long endurance' (HALE) makers, commercial UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles) are now going mainstream -- and this year's Farnborough will reflect this with a focus on autonomous 'intelligent systems' and indoor and outdoor UAV flying areas.
Civil UAVs are now possibly one of the fastest growing sectors in aerospace, with one estimate that in five years, commercial UAVs just in the U.S. could be a $13bn industry.
However, despite the enthusiasm, challenges remain; in certification, in sharing airspace with manned aircraft and in the business models and structure of this emerging sector.
So far the majority of activity has been in small UAVs like quad- and multi-copters -- but the bigger, established global aerospace players are now looking hungrily in the direction of the commercial UAV market.
Can they break into this? Or will, in this fast-growing sector, the big primes be outmaneuvered by these tiny start-ups?

Reviews of this property
Very friendly, kind and welcoming host.
Very well located bnb, almost all the places/sights we've been to were within ~20 min walking distance, not Too touristy but still central.
The Room was tidy and appealing, the "communal bathroom" was also clean.
We enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend the home Run bnb to friends.
Hello everyone!
Together with my two friends, I had a really nice stay in Amsterdam.
The room was big, enough space for 3 people. Moreover was the room clean, we had a fridge to keep our food and drinks cold.
Veronique was really nice. She introduced us to everything, showed us around in the house. It is really close to the centre. Only 10 minutes to Anne Frank House and 15 minutes to the shopping streets.
Highly recommend this property!
Veronique has paid great attention to us before and during our holiday at Amsterdam. She was responsible and charming. The house is actually as nice and comfortable as showed at the advertisement and in the website (great website for the house!). We can say that the neighborhood is amazingly beautiful and inside the heart of the best of the city. Great place.
Thanks, Veronique!
Excellent! Veronique is a very friendly person. She recommended us good restaurants. The flat is clean and is located near the centrum. Thanks for all.
The apartment is a perfect place to visit Amsterdam. Veronique is a lovely host, and everything was fine. 100% recommendation for all visitors of Amsterdam.
very nice host! clean, pretty and comfortable room in a fabulous area of Amsterdam. We walked to all atractions and enjoyed the local atmosphere.
Véronique is a good host,very friendly, the neighborhood is super, the room is comfortable, it's a pity that we could not put the heating on ourselves and that we had to share our bathroom.
We had a great stay in Veroniques place and she is a lovely host. Veronique helped us find a cosy little restaurant with amazing food. Thanks again! The room is even cosier than as it looks on the pictures and the apartment is very central. Perfect for a trip to Amsterdam!
Thank you for the uncomplicated way, you let us stay in you're apartment. We had a nice time!

talking of selena,that is really the problem with kids and teen choice award.most of the time is all about who is sexier, beauty and hip.quality and achievement is not in their dictionary.that is why i still have respect for oscars and the likes.they do not look at faces most times but ,the quality of your work.i have nothing against selena but,that award is not actually for her..the organiser has to try and do something about that.or soon ,both awards will loose some respect.

Exactly, Selena 1st off isn't even really a band & her music isn't good enough to win that award. 2nd She won cause she's popular & probably cause everyone knew it was her birthday. I'm not a hater cause I do like some of her songs but I'm just stating what looks like, the facts. I don't think the kids choice awards should be pulled, I just think that in terms of voting, us teens should really get a clue & choose whose best, not who you like the most cause who wants to see the same people win EVERY YEAR. 3rd I was shocked when Selena & Justin didn't win choice hotties but I am excited that Miley & Ian won.

THEY CELEBRATE ON A INTIMATE LEVEL. THEY BOTH LOOK AMAZING AS ALWAYS. JUSTIN IS VERY LUCKY TO HAVE SELENA IN HIS LIFE. i HOPE JUSTIN AND SELENA CELEBRATE WITH HER FAMILY AND THEN THEY CELEBRATE TOGETHER AS A COUPLE.

I get a lot of questions on how to use pastel powder for weathering props, in this case it started out in helmet painting thread on this board. So here's a small tutorial on how to use the stuff! Thanks goes out to "Ttef abob" for hosting the pics!:)
Pastel weathering is perfect for almost every project where you normaly would use an airbrush, however, it looks much more like real dirt and IMO you have much more control. Pastel comes in chalks in all colors and you should be able to get them in any art or hobby store. The correct name is "Dry pastel" and you want them as soft as possible, but you DO NOT want oil pastels, that's something completely different.
So how do you apply it? Well you have to grind the chalk into fine powder, I just rub them against the sharp edge of an exacto knife but you could probably use a sandpaper too.
Here's what the chalks looks like.
Now here's where the fun starts! First of all make sure the surface you are going to weather is painted with a flat paint, it won't stick to a gloss surface. Take a soft brush and pic up some powder and gently brush it over the paint job. You'll be able to use it just like an air brush, press hard and it will get darker, or reversed if you just want a shaded effect. You can also apply it with a rag, q-tip, sponge well probably anything that comes to your mind, just experiment and I'm sure you'll come up with a lot of different effects!:)
Here's a picture of different weathering effects.
1. Basic air brush effect. Applied with an soft brush.
2. Yellow and red/brown dabed on with a Q-tip.
3. Heavy weathering. Dabed on with a cloth.
4. Blaster burn or something like that:lol All techniques used.
The best thing about it is that it's "alive" untill you seal it so you can always smooth it out, make it darker or whipe it off with water (probably won't get 100% clean again on a light surface though) When your happy with your weathering you have to seal it so it won't smudge when you tuch it. You can use any clear coat you want, flat, gloss or satin. After the clear coat has dried its 100% permanent.
So why use pastel instead of an air brush? It's easier to use, you won't get that cheap airbrushed effect that always screams "airbrush"! Applied right this stuff really looks like real dirt! Perfect for shading the base color on a Fett helmet!:)
Here' a link to a tutorial for my ROTJ helmet. All the shading of the red visor, dome and cheeks was done with this technique. Please not that my words have been edited (by my recuest by the owner of the site). You can clearly see the weathering effect on the dome in picture 10 (it was applied with a soft brush).
I know I'm not a master when it comes to writing tutorials in English but hopfully you got some parts of it!:lol If you have any questions please post here and I'll try to answere them as good as I can.

Shakhtar Donetsk chief executive Sergei Palkin has warned midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan he will be fined after going Awol and missing training.
The squad are currently based in Austria while preparing for the new campaign but the 24-year-old Armenia international has yet to join up with his team-mates, with reported interest from Liverpool and a number of other clubs.
Palkin denied there had been any official approach from the Reds and told the player he must attend the camp or risk punishment.
"Mkhitaryan did not come to the training session yesterday but he had to - we do not know why," Palkin told Russian newspaper Sportsdaily.
"If he does not join the team in the coming days he will be fined.
"Concerning Mkhitaryan's behaviour I know that he does not have any problems with his team-mates and coaches and we have not heard from him about his intention to leave Shakhtar.
"All the questions about Mkhitaryan's behaviour should be addressed to him
"I am certain that the negotiations between them (Mkhitaryan and Liverpool) is just rumour.
"No offer for Mkhitaryan has been made at Shakhtar."

|Level 10 - Mind Boggling
|Meffert's Rotational Puzzles, Tony Fisher
Product Description
The Master Pyramorphinx, is a very Special Unique puzzle designed
by Tony Fisher. It stands 10mm higher than our regular Pyraminx and adds a new
dimension to our Pyraminx which is still our best selling Puzzle until now.
The Master Pyramorphinx was designed and first made by Tony Fisher. He completed his prototype on the 8th April 1991. At the time he didn't really have a name for it and would refer to it as either 3x3x3 Tetrahedron or sometimes Tetrahedron Transformation of a Rubik's Cube. That original puzzle was very large and heavy (unlike this one) though it turned reasonably well.
One of the first things you will notice about this puzzle is when scrambled it usually does not retain it's shape. Most of the time it will be a confusing jumble of parts. But this lets you make beautiful and unique shapes and patterns. This type of puzzle is commonly referred to as a shape shifter or Morphing puzzle.
The Master Pyramorphinx is based on the Rubik's Cube mechanism and is only slightly more difficult to solve. The 6 central edges are equivalent to Rubik's Cube centers though on this puzzle they need to be correctly orientated. The 12 trapezium shaped pieces are equivalent to Rubik's Cube edges. Positioning of these is not as strict though this can course parity errors. Exact orientation is vital. Both for the corners and centers of The Master Pyramorphinx which are equivalent to the 8 Rubik's Cube corners. Exact positioning is vital though the four central triangles do not have a specific correct orientation. Once again this can lead to parity errors which adds an extra challenge.
The Master Pyramorphinx is made from a high quality black plastic body. The object of this puzzle is
to scramble all of the sides and then return it back to its starting position. This puzzle is extra
challenging because as it is scrambled it changes shape, so not only do you have to put all of the
colors on the right face, but you also have to bring it back to the original shape. The Master
Pyramorphinx was designed by Tony Fisher, from the United Kingdom, who has been making
puzzles since 1981. The Master Pyramorphinx is now manufactured by Meffert's Rotational Puzzles.
Uwe Meffert, born in Wernigerode, Germany, not only manufactures the puzzles, but has designed
many of his own puzzles as well.

The first 3 hours that I have had the cube on of the pieces popped out. I would put the pice back in and I would lightly pull on the piece to see if it was in and it would just pop right back out. HORRIBLE CUBE!!!!!
This is a awsome puzzel for people who are not beginers but really fun. very entertaining to see peoples reactions when solved. lol love it.


text: 2008 will be my second year in bee keeping and I like it. I am 64 and about 280lbs. I know, I Know need to go on a diet, LOL. But the suit I have now is too short in the inseam. And during one stupid manipulation last season the girls paid me 15 times, through the suit. This was mostly my fault. So I am looking for a new suit. What is better cotton or nylon? Who makes a tall size? I know most of you experts dont use suits but I am not confident enough to do that.

Press Report: The Led Zeppelin concert at the showgrounds last Sunday must rate as one of the best ever held in Sydney - but, if the crowd had not stormed the fences, it could have been the worst.
The official attendence figure was 27,000 but senior police officers at the concert estimated the crowd at "at least 30,000". According to showground officials the three stands used last Sunday have a maximum capacity of 25,000 - so whatever way you look at it the ground was dangerously overcrowded.
Despite the fact that there were no seats left at mid-day and no standing room by 1.30pm., people were still coming through the gates at 2.30pm. The overcrowding that existed before the fences were stormed must never be allowed to occur again because next time someone could be killed in the crush. Once capacity is reached the gates should be closed. David D. Bryant The Sun-Herald, 5 March 1972, p. 109.

Sydney live concert 1972
Hi there,
Saw the Four Corners program with you and your photos In It of the Led Zeppelin concert in Sydney 1972.
I also unfortunately missed the exhibition you had showing in sydney a couple of months ago which I would have loved to attend as It would have brought back lots of good memories.
The program triggered in my mind that my father was also at the 1972 concert, and we have photos that he took himself that day.
It's awesome because some of the photographs are so very similar. You must have been standing pretty close.
I'm thinking of dusting them all off and re-framing, framing them all.
If I manage to get It all sorted would you be interested In having a look?

The Destination
Whereas most pretty places have their share of spotty seasons, Northern Minnesota showcases seamlessly gorgeous natural scenery all the darn time—and the Cascade Lodge in Lutsen gives you a front-row seat to witness it—and all the biking, canoeing, snowshoeing, or skiing that comes with it—on the glistening shores of Lake Superior.
The Digs
There's no end in sight to the cross-country trails and cobblestone beaches that surround this property flanked by Cascade River State Park. Rustic yet comfortable, the well-appointed rooms in this pet-friendly lodge (yes, you can bring your pooch for certain accommodations) don't skimp on atmospheric touches—most notably window views of Lake Superior. Breakfasts in the on-site restaurant feature hearty Midwestern fare: think, eggs Benedict, Swedish pancakes, and breakfast burritos. Dinner at the nearby Cascade Restaurant and Pub features bacon-wrapped-blue cheese steak and in-season catches from the lake that pair great with an impressive wine and craft-beer list.
The Diversions
• Hike or bike through surrounding Cascade River State Park
• Head to Arrowhead Center for the Arts to sample live theater and music

Traditional measures of a nation's strength, such as GDP and GNP, are inadequate in the Cyber Age. Dr. Howard Rubin and Carol Dekkers talk about cybergeography, the global economy, the digital divide, and the rise of developing nations on the Cyber landscape.
TEXT TRANSCRIPT: 12 September 2000
Announcer: Welcome to Quality Plus e-Talk! with Carol Dekkers. This program will focus on the latest in the field of technology. All comments, views, and opinions are those of the host, guests, and callers. Now let's join Carol Dekkers.
Carol: Good afternoon, I'm Carol Dekkers live. Actually, pre-taped. This is our first show, and we're going to be focusing on technology topics. I run a company called Quality Plus Technologies that's based in Tampa, Florida. And we have a number of people who work with us that focus on process improvement in the software development arena, who work in software measurement, and do a lot of work in ISO standards.
My guest today, I'm very fortunate to have Dr. Howard A. Rubin with me. And Dr. Rubin is a full tenured professor and the chair of the department of computer science at Hunter College at the City University of New York. He's also the CEO of Rubin Systems, Inc., a META Group research fellow, and a former Nolan Norton research fellow. I've known Howard for a number of years, and he always brings with him an absolute plethora of information. He's been in the software metrics, or software measurement, arena and an editor for IEEE Computer, the editor of IT Metrics Strategies, a member of the editorial board of the IT Journal, and on the board of advisors for Blueprint. In 1997, he was named one of the top research and development stars to watch, an individual whose achievements are shaping the future of our industrial culture and America's technology policy. He is currently serving on the private sector e-commerce digital task force, organized by the White House. He has met President Clinton in person and has advised him on technology issues. He possesses a PhD from the City University of New York, and was awarded in the areas of biology, ecology, oceanography, and computer science. He's internationally recognized for his work academically and commercially as an author, researcher, speaker and consultant in the areas of performance management, metrics, global software economics, and most recently, he's been involved in something called digital divide. He's been appointed to the Vice President's private sector task force for the G-8 meeting in the digital divide initiative. He's been involved in something called cybergeography, digital planet. And we're going to have a very exciting show discussing these types of things with Howard Rubin.
So I'd like to welcome Dr. Howard Rubin to the show and ask if he wanted to maybe start off by saying a little bit about what is cybergeography?
Howard: Okay, Carol. First, I'd like to congratulate you on your first show and for making me part of it. And in terms of the world if cybergeography, I would say that interestingly enough, if you look at the world today, people have a pretty decent knowledge of the physical geography of the earth, and you learn about this in school, and people understand, you know, where various states are, and all sorts of things about the oceans and things about the continents. People also seems to have somewhat of an understanding, although less deeply, in terms of weather systems and sort of the atmospheric geography of the earth. But more interestingly right now, one of the big issues has to do with what I

James Earl Jones, (born January 17, 1931, Arkabutla, Mississippi, U.S.), American actor who made his name in leading stage roles in Shakespeare's Othello and in The Great White Hope, a play about the tragic career of the first black heavyweight boxing champion, loosely based on the life of Jack Johnson. Beginning in the 1970s, he appeared frequently on television and in film.
His father, the actor Robert Earl Jones, left his family before James Earl Jones was born, and the youth was raised largely by his grandparents in Michigan. He attended the University of Michigan (B.A., 1953), majoring in drama, and, after a brief stint in the U.S. Army, went to New York City, studying at the American Theatre Wing with Lee Strasberg. He acted in his first Off-Broadway production in 1957 and subsequently with the New York Shakespeare Festival in 1961–73. He won a Tony Award for his boxer role in Howard Sackler's The Great White Hope (1968) and later starred in the film version (1970). He received critical acclaim for the two-character stage play Paul Robeson (1978) and in the title role of Othello (1981), opposite Christopher Plummer's Iago. In 1987 Jones starred in the Broadway premiere of August Wilson's Fences. His later Broadway credits include a 2008 production of Tennessee Williams's Cat on a Hot Tin Roof that featured an all-black cast, as well as productions of Driving Miss Daisy (2010), Gore Vidal's The Best Man (2012), and George S. Kaufman and Moss Hart's You Can't Take It with You (2014).
A part in the film Dr. Strangelove (1964) began a prolific career in pictures for Jones, whose roles included an evil ruler in the fantasy film Conan the Barbarian (1982), a coal miner fighting for the right to form a union in John Sayles's Matewan (1987), and an African king who lets his son (played by Eddie Murphy) travel to the United States in the comedy Coming to America (1988). He appeared as Adm. James Greer in the film adaptations of Tom Clancy's novels about CIA agent Jack Ryan: The Hunt for Red October (1990), Patriot Games (1992), and Clear and Present Danger (1994). In 1995 he portrayed the Rev. Stephen Kumalo in the film version of Alan Paton's classic novel Cry, the Beloved Country. Jones next starred opposite Robert Duvall in A Family Thing (1996). His big-screen appearances diminished in the 21st century, though he did take occasional supporting roles. He received an honorary Academy Award in 2011.
Known for his deep, resonant voice, Jones was cast in many voice-over roles in television advertising and in films, both as a narrator and for animated characters. He is perhaps best known for giving voice to the villain Darth Vader in the Star Wars series of movies, which began in 1977. In 1994 he provided the voice of the wise Mufasa in Disney's The Lion King. Jones's television work also includes a role as a private detective in Gabriel's Fire (1990–91; retitled Pros and Cons, 1991–92), for which he won an Emmy Award for outstanding lead actor in a drama series. He continued to make guest appearances on television into the 21st century.

Carlo (1916-1974), Italy
Carlo Zinelli was born near Verona, Italy. He was only two years old when his mother died. Seven years later his father, a carpenter by trade, sent him to work on a farm. Carlo later became a butcher's apprentice at the municipal abattoirs in Verona. During the Second World War he enlisted in an alpine chasseurs platoon. It was then that the first signs of psychological trouble became evident. At the age of 31, he was admitted to the San Giacomo hospital in Verona. Ten years later he started to scratch graffiti on the walls of the establishment. Faced with a need for self-expression on Carlo's part, the hospital board permitted him to attend the painting and sculpture workshop created in 1957.
Carlo went on to produce almost 3,000 works. His graphic language is characterised by an accumulation of certain motifs and by changes of angle and scale. He painted animals and people in profile using gouache on both sides of sheets of paper and embellished his compositions with inscriptions.

Introducing: The JJ's
Last year, I was blindsided by the innocent-glittery pop of the Melbourne-duo, Kids At Midnight. So to get a message from the vocalist, Jane, last week with a bit of new music and information was a super-rad treat.
Jane's got a slick new side-project, and I've got all the details you need to now. Read on!
The JJ's are Dim Mak and Cheap Thrills' DJ, Jaimie Fanatic, along with Kids At Midnight's Jane Elizabeth Hanley. Taking a step back from the lush dreamscapes that we've come to expect from the tones of Hanley, the pair are now pumping out harder-hitting hand-raisers.

Steve Hansen's off-the-cuff reply to a question about Kiwi Mike Harris playing for Australia has turned the spotlight back on to the supposed pillaging of the Pacific Islands by New Zealand rugby.
Harris, the former North Harbour back who moved to the Reds in Brisbane after failing to break into the Blues' first team, kicked five of Australia's six penalties in the drawn test at Suncorp Stadium and is flourishing in his new environment. The 24-year-old, who qualifies for Australia due to a grandmother who was born there, was playing his first test against his country of birth.
Hansen, asked in the aftermath of the All Blacks' disappointing performance in the city on Saturday whether New Zealand's talent identification protocols were up to scratch given Harris' departure, bristled.
"I am pleased he [Harris] has achieved his dream ... what I find frustrating is that Australia is trying to build their game and put more franchises in place but all they're doing is putting franchises in place and stealing our players," he replied.
Harris and Australia Rugby Union John O'Neill hit back, comparing Australia's "thefts" to those by the New Zealand Rugby Union in the Pacific. Reds coach Ewen McKenzie has also chipped in.
O'Neill, not one to shy away from an argument, told the Sydney Morning Herald: "The comments from the All Blacks' coach are insulting, ill-informed, and clearly made without reviewing New Zealand's history for fielding players born outside their borders.
"I would not even want to guess how many players born in the South Pacific islands have worn the All Blacks' jersey - the reality is there are players who will look for opportunities to play test rugby."
Not surprisingly, perhaps, given his no-nonsense attitude to most things, Hansen is standing firm, and he is right, given the evidence.
Of the more than 1100 players to turn out in the black jersey, 78 were born overseas, according to the respected New Zealand Rugby Museum website. Of those, 13 were born in Samoa, eight in Fiji and seven in Tonga. Two, including Jerome Kaino, were born in American Samoa. The majority of the 30 born in the islands came to New Zealand as children.
Asked on Radio Sport his morning whether the Pacific Islands' argument was a fair one, Hansen replied: "You can't [compare], considering there are more New Zealanders playing for Pacific Islands [teams] than there are players that we're taking out of there.
"At the last World Cup I think the majority of the Samoan team, for example, was born in New Zealand."
Of the 30 players in the Samoa squad for last year's World Cup, 17 were born in New Zealand. The numbers argument, however, is usually lost on people who prefer to view things differently, particularly some from the Northern Hemisphere and now men such as O'Neill.
Hansen added: "The problem I've got at the moment with Australian Rugby is that they are trying to spread their game throughout Australia, which is great because it's the third best sport in the country from their point of view, and in trying to grow their game there they are taking our players from our country to do it.
"I made the comment after being told that 'did we not have our talent identification programme right?'. No, our talent identification programme is good, we know that Mike Harris is a good player but if you guys come over and pinch them then we can't play them.
"What I'm saying is that maybe Ewen McKenzie and his mates should develop their own. That would be good."

Teens & Safe Driving
Teenage driving and specifically driving safety is getting more and more traction in the news. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has just launched the 5 To Drive campaign. All of these campaigns are encouraging parents to initiate discussions with their teen drivers about safety.
I have long been a proponent of driving contracts and luckily my three sons abided by the contract and never had a "significant" accident. There were a few of the "I backed into the fence", or "I just didn't see the car when I backed out of the parking space", but beyond that we were blessed with accident free teen years. I also believe that they were maybe a bit more cautious because they had to pay for 1/2 of their insurance premium each year, as well as having other perks (like gas) tied to their grades. Having some of their own hard earned money in the game made them realize consequences for accidents would also mean higher insurance premiums and more money out of their wallets.
The NHTSA safety topics for parents to discuss with their teens are:
No cell phone use or texting while driving - no exceptions
No extra passengers - parents also need to follow their own state laws on this topic as graduated drivers licenses enforce different lengths of time before allowing teens any extra passengers (which are definitely distracting)
No alcohol
No driving or riding without a seat belt
No speeding
There were 2,105 teen drivers involved in fatal crashes in 2011 and 45% of the teens involved died in those wrecks as well. The topics for parents to discuss with their teens are on the list as all of these behaviors seen in adolescent drivers are known to contribute to the high death rate among teens.
Another recent study from Children's Hospital of Philadelphia in collaboration with State Farm Insurance found that "teenagers were 50% less likely to crash when parents set clear rules, kept track of their teens activities and did so in a supportive manner".
Take the time to discuss the safe driver rules and model behavior while you are at the wheel as well. Distracted driving affects everyone.....as I continue to remind myself to stay off the phone in the car, even though I finally did get hands free for the phone.

PAUSD blacked out original of Barb Mitchell 'strong-arming' memo
Original post made by Curious, Fairmeadow, on Jul 13, 2013
The original version retains only the sender, the recipients (board president Dana Tom, Supt. Kevin Skelly, Assoc. Supt. Charles Young, and attorneys Chad Graff and Lenore Silverman), the date, and the subject line "Privileged and Confidential Attorney Client Correspondence".
See Web Link for a comparison of the redacted and unredacted versions. The redacted version is still available in a Dropbox account set up by the district for public records act requests (see Web Link, at page 84).
The blacked-out document is one of dozens of documents involving attorneys Chad Graff and Lenore Silverman that have been fully redacted by the school district prior to being produced in response to public records requests. Many of those documents were sent or received by Dana Tom, Barb Mitchell, and trustee Camille Townsend.
Graff and Silverman are lawyers from the law firm of Fagen Friedman and Fulfrost. Fagen Friedman and Fulfrost is also the law firm of Laurie Reynolds. Reynolds' presentation on the OCR matter in February was described by the Weekly at that time as "incorrect, misled the board and the public and engaged in pure obfuscation" (see Web Link). Reynolds does not appear in any of the recent correspondence released by the district.
The school board recently approved a $140,000 extension of PAUSD's contract for legal services with Fagen Friedman and Fulfrost. During the board's discussion, trustee Melissa Caswell asked why Mr. Graff was now working on the district's matters and Ms. Reynolds was no longer in evidence. Camille Townsend assured her that the switch was routine.

That is really really interesting. Who does the redacting? Why would the school district think Barb Mitchell's ideas about the politics of OCR and the Senate and federal authority can be hidden from the public? Obviously Barb Mitchell thought it had been hidden away. Is it because she included some lawyers in the email? Does just copying a lawyer make it secret?
Wow, that is some really fishy stuff.

Everyday and every revelation makes the board, Skelly, Young, and the rest of the regime look worse and worse. Time for the blind-faith supporters to attack Curious, WCDBPA, the Daubers, the Weekly, and anything and anyone else to present the truth. You folks at 25 Churchill need to resign and demonstrate honor. You were publicly elected or publicly paid to serve the public in an open, transparent, and honest way.

If this is true, does it raise any question or doubt about past documents which were provided as a response to Public documents requests? Any question or doubt about the considerations that had the documents blacked or even, maybe, presented/omitted?

"You were publicly elected or publicly paid to serve the public in an open, transparent, and honest way."
Nothing could be further from the truth. The only person that I can think of that has been advocating for serving the public in an "open, transparent, and honest way" is Ken Dauber and the voters of Palo Alto chose to go with Camille and Heidi who don't appear to be the least bit bothered by Skelly's lies.
Skelly should have been fired immediately when the revelations came out about his concealment of the fact that the OCR had been called to review the case of the young girl at Terman who was bullied to the point of being punched in the face with seemingly no action from Skelly or anyone else to take care of her.
We really need to have a whole regime change as the current Board seems to have no ability to do what needs to be done....namely replace the administrators who are hurting our children. Don't the top administrators agree that one of their jobs is to make sure that all of our children get their best chance to have a successful outcome in our district?

@Enemy action,
There is nothing in Barb Mitchell's email that justifies attorney client privilege. Let's see:
- Details of pending litigation? No, only if you count plotting to violate US law and potentially getting the district sued by the Justice Department as a result.
- Student confidentiality? No, no students are mentioned.
- Personnel matter? No, no staff members are mentioned.
So why is it "privileged"? Open up the image in Curious' story and take a look. It's so it can be redacted. Why would Mitchell want this memo redacted? Because she is talking about:
- Abrogating the district's existing agreement with OCR
- Challenging OCR authority based on a truly wacky, Tea Party-inspired understanding of our system of laws
- Preventing the federal government from addressing violations of the law in Palo Alto that it sees in the course of it's work (she wants to know if PAUSD has some kind of right to keep violating the law!!).
I wouldn't want my constituents to know that I was doing that, either. As a post on another thread noted, Mitchell has been careful not to say this stuff in public. She knows that her views are way to the right of opinion in Palo Alto. That's why she demanded that the Weekly give this back, and why she's not talking now.
The public has a right to know what its public officials are doing, and what policies they are pushing. Barb Mitchell obviously disagrees. The really interesting question is, what's in all those other redacted documents?

Since people keep pushing back with sound and substantive arguments to these posts, the thought process must be that marring reputations is the only tool left to fill all of the board seats that will be "emptied" because of the doubt cast by these relentless attacks. When that happens, the hope is that those who cast the stones will finally be able to step in and run the district in their image, without any of those pesky people who have different points of view to contend with.
Two problems with this approach.
One, it's been tried and hasn't worked. If anything, the people who have been bullied are standing taller, holding firm, and gaining more respect for the work that they do as a result. This response is just human nature for both victims and by-standers when there is an attack. So while a gentler conciliatory approach might have made room for some collaboration, a take no prisoners approach has precluded that and marginalized those who cast the stones and their followers.
Two, posts like these are illegal. They defame by promulgating known falsehoods and they hurt peoples' job prospects. No matter, some may think, because they are anonymous. A lawyer will advise that when a law has been broken get a court order to obtain information that will reveal an "anonymous" poster's identity. Google it and you will also learn that if that person is taken to court, the poster will typically have to pay the accused economic losses that resulted from the ruined reputation (think of it as the poster paying Dr. Skelly and the others private unemployment benefits for life) as well as punitive damages and compensation for mental distress. It has been the extreme patience and good nature of Dr. Skelly, his hires, and each school board member that has allowed these posts to continue without legal challenge. That patience could end in an instant.

Nothing in that post is defamatory. Truth is a complete defense to defamation. Further, Dr. Skelly and the board members are public figures, which means that a broad range of harsh critique is permitted. Finally, most of what is contained in the above post is opinion.
Stop trying to intimidate people from using their First Amendment right to seek redress from the government.
Finally, all your stuff about "walking tall" or whatever is just blowing smoke. They aren't standing tall, they are hunkered down in the dark hiding out and doing the public's business in secret.

I've been searching the web for pictures of the T420/T520 with a Battery 27++ (9 cell slice) installed but curiously I haven't found any. I presume that the laptop becomes somewhat raised in the back, right?
Also, is it possible to use this battery with a regular 9 cell battery or just with the 6 cell one?
Solved! Go to Solution.
I have the upgrade 9 cell battery. This model unlike other OEM's sticks out the back one row of cells which is about an inch. I would have though it would be raised as well but it isn't. Now if there is another battery pack I don't know for certain.
I hope that helps.

Press Release
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE -- April 24, 2014
Kevin Kelly (573) 751-9300
PSC Approves Agreement In Missouri Gas Energy Rate Case
The Missouri Public Service Commission has unanimously approved an agreement among parties in a natural gas rate case filed last September by Missouri Gas Energy (MGE), a division of Laclede Gas Company. The agreement will take effect for service rendered on and after May 1, 2014.
The agreement, submitted by the Office of the Public Counsel, the PSC Staff, MGE, the Missouri Department of Economic Development-Division of Energy and Midwest Gas Users' Association and USG Corporation, resolves all issues in a natural gas rate case filed by MGE on September 16, 2013. Although not signatories to the agreement, the remaining parties indicated they did not oppose the agreement.
The agreement provides for a decrease in residential customer fixed rates from $28.10 to $27.87 a month until October 1, 2014. At that time, the monthly customer charge for a residential customer will go to $23.00 a month plus a volumetric delivery charge of $0.0738 per Ccf (per 100 cubic feet of natural gas).
When MGE filed its rate request in September, it sought an increase in annual natural gas revenues of approximately $23.4 million, which included amounts already being collected by MGE through its Infrastructure System Replacement Surcharge (ISRS). Under the agreement, annual natural gas revenues will increase by approximately $7.8 million with the ISRS being re-set to zero effective May 1, 2014.
This rate case involved MGE's non-gas costs which are operating and maintenance expenses and a return on investment in plant (such as natural gas mains and service lines that carry natural gas to the customer's home or business). The rates that wholesale suppliers charge MGE for natural gas are not regulated by the Missouri Public Service Commission and are not a part of this rate case. The actual cost of natural gas makes up approximately 55 to 60 percent of a typical residential customer's monthly bill.
Under the terms of the agreement, MGE will continue to provide various conservation and energy efficiency programs designed to enable customers to have more control over their energy costs. In addition, to help low-income customers with natural gas bills because of the unusually cold 2013-14 winter, a one-time temporary low-income energy affordability program has been established.
The agreement also establishes a new experimental "Red Tag" program for low income customers. Under the program, financial assistance is provided so that customers can make needed repairs to their equipment or piping where necessary to restore or avoid an interruption of service and, in the process, enhance safety. The agreement also establishes a new experimental "Red Tag" program for all customers. Under this experimental program, MGE may make minimal repairs to customer piping or equipment while already at the customer's premises for another reason in order to avoid service interruptions and enhance customer safety.
MGE serves approximately 500,000 natural gas customers in Missouri.

[quote user="heavyhitter"]Florida State is really not playing well at all. They're still on top and haven't allowed a TD, but something is wrong w/ Ponder. Not sure if it's his shoulder or what, but he is playing like garbage. I'm surprised the score is only 7-6. Boston College should be up by at least a TD or two.
Ponder played awful. I know you like FSU but I have never been on the bandwagon that he is a first round pick
[/quote]Awful isn't even the word. Ponder should have been pulled after he threw the first 2 picks. And who ever said Christian Ponder was a 1st round pick?
[/quote]Ive seen it on here , draft sites I just figured since U likedhim u were on that bandwagon[/quote]Well that's just foolish then. That would be like me saying I know you like Jacory Harris(Miami) but I have never been on the bandwagon that he is a first round pick. I don't think any poster much less myself has said Christian Ponder is a 1st round pick.
Ive never mentioned Jacory as an NFL prospect U have mentioned Ponder on this very thread. I listed Luck,Locker, and Mallet and U added Ponder. Then on that FSU Miami thread .U had Ponder as the top prospect on the FSU side. Its not like I pulled it out of my ***
[/quote]lol- You're talking about the Florida State/Miami thread and I listed 5 players from each team to watch out for. There was nothing said that CP would ever be a 1st round draft pick. I think you're just pissed you made a prediction and statement on that thread that Miami was the better team and Miami would win. Well, we saw how that turned out.
Actually I could really care less that Miami lost. I like Miami. There one of the few teams I like watchingbut if I dont watch them or they dont win whatever its not a big deal.I dont own Miami gear or anything.Your the only one that seems to actually care about the outcome of that game.

Wonderful apartment in the arty part of Paris. Great experience couldn't fault a thing, would love to stay again
The flat was as we expected, very nice and charming.
Close to shopping and restaurants around the corner. The Metro
Just a couple of minutes away.
Elke was very kind and helpful to us and we have already been talking
To come back next spring :)

It's a very sweet apartment right in the middle of Paris. There was a little problem at the beginning but it was very quick solved. It's cosy and bigger than a normal hotel room in Paris. It has everything you need und there's a bakery, grocery, metro just 2 minutes away.
Amazing apartment set within a quiet courtyard and extremely close to the Pompidou centre. It is within easy walking distance of both the Louvre and Notre Dame but if you don't fancy walking then there are many Metro stations to choose from. Les Halles is on a direct line (4) to Gare du Nord if like us you are coming in on the Eurostar. It has everything we as a couple needed for our 4 night stay including a very comfortable bed (I slept very well during my stay) as well as a number of beautiful bakeries/cake shops in very close vicinity. It was lovely to meet Nicholas who was friendly and welcoming. We enjoyed our stay
thoroughly and found Elke easy to deal with. We will be back!
Die Unterkunft hat uns sehr gut gefallen. Die Lage der Wohnung ist phantastisch und sehr ruhig.
Wir haben das Appartment für 5 Tage Mitte Oktober gemietet. Die Lage ist perkfekt. Sehr zentral, in unmittelbarer Nähe befinden sich Supermärkte, Bäckereien und Restaurants. Die Metro ist ebenfalls in der Nähe, aber auch zu Fuß lassen sich zahlreiche Sehenswürdigkeiten gut erreichen. Der Empfang von Nicolas war sehr nett und professionell. Die Schlüsselübergabe etc. hat super geklappt. Unser Gepäck konnten wir gleich abstellen. Das Appartment selbst ist sehr schön und sauber und mit allem ausgestattet, was man so braucht. Wir würden auf jeden Fall wiederkommen!

Google today underlined just how serious it is about competing in the PC market, unveiling its sleek-looking new touchscreen laptop based on the Chrome operating system, in what looks to be a direct bid to take on Apple's Macs with its premium-priced, cloud based machine.
The high-end Chromebook, known as the Chromebook Pixel, went on sale this Thursday tagged at a cool $1,299 for the Wi-Fi-only version, and $1,449 for a machine featuring built-in LTE technology that allows users to connect on the go. Google designed and built the machine independently of major manufacturers, relying on the help of a Taiwan-based hardware partner.
Chromebooks are light, web-based machines that run on Google's own operating system the Chrome OS. Virtually everything about the machine is web-based, with almost all the computing being done using Google's online services like Gmail, Google Docs and Google Music. For those who want to learn more about Chromebooks, HackAngle editor Kyt Dotson has been carrying out an in-depth review of the Chromebook this week in a series of articles that demonstrate the full capabilities of Google's OS. Click here to read parts one, two and three.
Google said that the new machine will come with 1TB of cloud-based storage (note that Chromebooks do not come with hard drives).
The biggest difference between Google's latest Chromebook and previous models is that this is the first device to feature a touchscreen – but the new feature comes at an enormous cost, especially when one considers that earlier models start at just $199. On the plus side though, the Chromebook Pixel does pack some decent hardware, powered by an Intel Core i5 Processor and built with solid-state flash memory architecture, making this one of the zippiest Chromebooks ever built.
However, there are sure to be questions about just who in their right mind would want to buy this machine. For sure Chromebooks have their fans, but with the inability to run programs like Photoshop and Office, and the lack of any Skype client, many would argue that the Pixel isn't even a real computer – yet at $1,299 the machine costs $100 more than a 13" MacBook Air, and only $200 less than a full-size MacBook Pro with Retina Display.
Those who are feeling flush and want to be a part of the next chapter in Google's Chromebook journey can get their hands on the Wi-Fi-only version of the machine today by visiting the Google Play store in the US and UK. Google said that the Wi-Fi version will start shipping from next week, while those who pre-order an LTE version will have to wait until April before they get their hands on their newest, seriously expensive 'toy'.
