It's gonna be a lot faster, especially with some caching to avoid repeating the same unnecessary work. Same reason you don't just send a client app all docs and let it handle the view generation. The point is, you have your database server handling the data and your client side app handling client side stuff, and not mix things up.

Kelly Printing Supplies contacted us today June 12, 2013, trying to sell us printer cartridges. I was interrupted and needed to hang up.
They continued to ask for my printer's model number, so I asked them for their website and said, "I'll look up my printer and model number when I have time.
I went to their site, which is a waste of good cyberspace! There is no contact information, the map page goes to a map of the United States (very general), and their "Resources" page is not a link!
In short their employee was poorly trained and their website was poorly done. I am amazed they are still in business at all.

text: An idea--Consider lines of quilting across the sky to suggest wind. In my mind's eye, they're gentle curves, in varying lengths, with varying spaces between them. Thread would match the sky, maybe silk or rayon--or maybe invisible thread. You would sketch out on paper what looks good to you, then transfer. Hand quilting would be very subtle.

The classic CTR Yellowbird from German Porsche manufacturers RUF recently went under the microscope of esteemed automobile magazine Car and Driver. Improving the performances of much of the already competent Porsche offerings since 1939, the 1987 CTR Yellowbird represented a massive benchmark in the automotive world upon its release. A twin-turbocharged 3.4-liter engine boasting a conservatively reported 469 horsepower and 408 lbs-ft of torque propelled the 2,600 lbs car to 0-60 mph times of 3.7 seconds and a top speed north of 210 mph. Jethro Bovington is featured in this video speaking on the iconic Yellowbird as well as its contemporary update, the CTR 3 which makes an appearance on the German Autobahn.

A new study by Ofcom has found that in the UK, the worst internet pirates on the web are also the biggest spenders when it comes to legitimate content.
For as long as copyright infringement has been a thing, the entertainment industry has been lobbying for strict laws against piracy. On the surface, this makes sense: every time a movie is downloaded, it becomes a lost sale. However, some groups have always maintained that the issue is more complicated than this; that infringers may spend their money in a different way (such as by seeing a concert instead of buying a cd), or that the widespread availability of pirated content actually acts as free advertising, letting the content reach more people who might purchase it legitimately. New research commissioned by UK telecoms regulator Ofcom has added another interesting statistic to the debate: Those who pirate most actually spend more on content than those who don't.
The research, which targeted internet users from 12 years old and up, found that the top 20% worst copyright infringers, responsible for 88% of pirated content on the web (Of which the top half are responsible for a staggering 79% of pirated content), spend in excess of 300% more on legal content than honest consumers who don't infringe at all. The top 20% account for more than a tenth of all legal content consumed and spent an average of £168 over the six month period for which the study was carried out. In comparison, the lower 80% of internet pirates spent £105, but the really interesting statistic is that 'honest' consumers only spent a lowly £54.
…but are you sure you want it to be, Hollywood?
Also in the study was a survey on what factors would make an internet pirate stop downloading illegally. Interestingly, a threatening letter from their ISP threatening to turn off internet access trumped the fear of being sued as a cause for going legal. The top two factors however, were unsurprisingly the need for more availability of their desired content, as well as lower prices.

Report from Houston, Texas
Overflow Crowd Packs Houston's Downing St. Memo Teach-In
By Bill Crosier, Progressive Action Alliance
Saturday evening, July 23, an overflow crowd of approximately 225 people packed the largest room and spilled into the lobby at the 1st Unitarian Universalist Church in Houston Texas, for a teach-in on the third anniversary of the Downing Street Minutes (DSM).
Planning for the event started only 9 days ago, and there was minimal time for publicity, but news of the event spread like wildfire through the progressive community in Houston, the largest city in one of the reddest states in the country, and generated a very enthusiastic response. Event organizers were hoping for and expecting a crowd of about 100 people. However, the crowd quickly filled every chair, and additional chairs had to be brought into the room several times and filled every available place. Other people stood through the event and even in the lobby because there was no room for more chairs.
Attendees told event sponsors repeatedly how glad they were that this event and so many others across the US were held to bring attention to the lies about Iraq and weapons of mass destruction (WMD's), and how encouraged they were to see so many other enthusiastic people who wanted the truth to be told about the US's involvement in Iraq.
Former US diplomat Ann Wright, who resigned because of the US invasion of Iraq, was the keynote speaker. The crowd listened raptly as she discussed the deceit, deceptions, and outright lies that the Bush administration told to justify the invasion. She told how many officers in the military, as well as a huge majority of the State department, were appalled at the US actions as the buildup for war progressed, and even more appalled during and after the invasion. The search for weapons of mass destruction turned up no such weapons but instead demonstrated how the inspections had been working .
Ann Wright also told how the diversion of military resources to Iraq actually hurt the search for Al Queda, as they were in Afghanistan rather than Iraq, and how the US occupation of Iraq is decreasing our security because Iraq has now become such a breeding ground for terrorists. She answered questions for over 30 minutes after her talk.
A portion of the documentary "Uncovered" by filmmaker Robert Greenwald was shown, to illustrate the lies told by Bush and other administration officials in the weeks leading to the invasion. Excerpts from the recent video "Eyewitness in Iraq: an Unembedded Report" by Dahr Jamail were also shown, from this reporter's trip to Fallujah following the US destruction of that city, to illustrate how the lies from the Bush administration are continuing, as they talk of reconstruction while actual photos show how terrible the situation is in places like Fallujah, which was a city of 350,000 before the US destroyed it.
The MC for the event was Pokey Anderson, a long-time Houston activist and co-host and co-producer of Sunday Monitor, a weekly news program on KPFT, Houston's Pacifica radio station.
Progressive Action Alliance (PAA) co-chair Bill Crosier provided stressed the theme for the event, "No More Lies", and the crowd joined in chanting that theme. He stressed that it was lies and deceptions that brought down Nixon, and that was the justification for Bill Clinton's impeachment. He reminded everyone that the US public has little tolerance for being lied to by public officials, especially over important issues. "No More Lies" is a theme that even right-wing Republicans can embrace. He said that if there was one message to take home, it's that "No More Lies" must be something that we are willing to talk to others about, especially those who are not in our comfort zone of fellow progressives.
Crosier stated that "today is just the beginning. This is the start of a movement." The crowd gave a huge applause after Crosier said "this administration is the most corrupt in the history of the United States".
Postcards were distributed to attendees along with a sample letter, and attendees were asked to send the cards to their Congressional representative with a note asking them to co-sponsor Rep. Barbara Lee's Resolution of Inquiry into Iraq War Planning.
Charles Mauch, leader of the Impeach Bush Meetup group and PAA action group, stressed that we need to start using the "I" word (Impeach) more frequently. He collected a number of names of new people interested in joining that group, as they plan to work on publicity of the lies and deceptions that the public must learn more about.
Margaret Davis, chair of the PAA's Truth-in-Recruiting/Counter-Recruiting committee, asked for volunteers for that group and got a good response.
Wally James, host and producer of the radio program "The Progressive Forum" on KPFT, recorded the event and plans to play Ann Wright's speech during his show next Thursday evening, July 28, on KPFT. Pokie Anderson may also have a report on DSM events on her Sunday Monitor program Sunday evening. All of these shows may be heard on KPFT, 90.1 FM in Houston, 89.5 FM in Galveston, or with streaming audio via the world wide web at KPFT's web site. In addition, KPFT shows are archived on KPFT's archive site for approximately 60 days following their broadcast, and may be downloaded for listening on personal computers and/or for podcasting.
There was at least one other smaller DSM anniversary event earlier in the day in Houston, as well as one in The Woodlands, TX, just north of Houston, and in Winnie TX, east of Houston. The main Houston event was organized by the Progressive Action Alliance, and co-sponsored by the Harris Co. Green Party.
These were just a few of over 300 similar events held across the US on July 23, and coordinated by the After Downing Street Coalition, which is a coalition of veterans' groups, peace groups and political activist groups. It is coordinating these events nationwide, and has launched a campaign to urge the U.S. Congress to begin a formal investigation into whether President Bush has committed impeachable offenses in connection with the Iraq war. Reports on DSM anniversary events from many cities are at the After Downing Street Coalition web site.
There is an advance story of the main Houston event here. Look for additional stories and photos later at http://houston.indymedia.org/ .
The speaker at Houston's event, Ann Wright, spent over 29 years in the Army and Army Reserves before she joined the State Department. She also testified to Congress in the Downing Street Minutes hearing organized by Rep. John Conyers. Ms. Wright has been featured in articles in the Washington Post magazine, Government Executive magazine, Foreign Service Journal, Ms. magazine and has been interviewed by radio and TV networks. She participated in the documentary film "Uncovered: The Truth about the Iraq War."
A biography of Ms. Wright, and her Congressional testimony, is on the PAA's web site.
The national campaign for this is organized by:
* After Downing Street Coalition
* Code Pink
* Progressive Democrats of America
* Rep. John Conyers
The mission of the Progressive Action Alliance is to promote progressive candidates, ideas, and issues through action, advocacy, education, and networking. Please see their web site for updates, links to related groups, resources, and a calendar of upcoming events.

Over the rainbow
Over the rainbow
Many years ago a young Judy Garland sang so beautifully. "Somewhere over the rainbow skies are blue. And the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true." The year was 1939 two years before I was born. I grew up hearing that song over and over again and although it's a melody you can never forget it's the lyrics I was drawn too, because somewhere in those words came hope that dreams really can come true. Good dreams to me are simply aspirations of things you really like and want to happen. Reality tells us however we must do more than just wish if we want these dreams to come true. We need to act, and make an effort on our part to make them come true.
This brings me to the crux of my story, about the American dream. What is this American dream we talk about and why is it in peril? The American dream has meant many things to many people but always somewhere in its contents was the freedom to go after the things you have always wanted and wished for. That if you worked hard and stay focused and kept your eye on the goal, most of it would come to you. This was all possible because we lived in a country that encouraged you to do so. The old adage "land of the free" meant simply the opportunity to do this and more if you worked hard. Today the "land of the free" means to many people that you don't have to do much to help yourself because the government will do it for you and for way to many, this has become a way of life.
On the Statue of Liberty there is inscribed. "Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breath free; the wretched refuse of your teeming shores." Were those words to be interrupted to mean come here and we will take care of you? No. They meant come to this land of opportunity and grow with us and they did. Millions of people came, just wanting to have a chance to succeed in a growing country without government intervention. That dreams that they dared to dream really did come true here. All they had to do was work hard and believe in themselves. It was truly the American dream.
Fast forward to today. Our country is for all practical purposes broke. Not just broke but broken too. Those huddled masses that came here to work, now come here to get free health care, food and rent subsidies. There is little incentive to work and even less opportunity for jobs because we now send our work to those teeming shores they came from. Our tax laws are a muddled mess of loopholes that allow those who make millions, pay almost nothing and keep their money overseas. I read the other day that the flood of illegal immigrants, across our southern borders has slowed dramatically and not because of stepped up enforcement. It has slowed because there are few reasons to come here when the jobs are being outsourced to the very country they were leaving. What a way to promote America & The American dream.
How long before people in this country leave our teeming shores for a less oppressive business climate? How long before the American dream becomes the American nightmare or are we already there?
Mike Holst
Stop posturing
Republicans have expressed concerns about the DFL majority moving the Agriculture Finance Committee into a larger Environment, Natural Resources, and Agriculture Finance Committee. Republican Reps. Daudt and Hamilton even sent a letter questioning my support for Greater Minnesota. I believe Minnesotans care much more about results and they will judge the success or failure of the new DFL majority based on results for agriculture and rural Minnesota, not on committee structure.
These attacks are more confusing when you consider that the Republican majority had the same committee structure from 2005-06, when they had an Agriculture, Environment, and Natural Resources Finance Committee. That committee was also chaired by a metro legislator. Rep. Hamilton raised no objections at that time.
That would make one think this is merely political posturing and an attempt to divide this state. I hope not. Helping farmers is among our top priorities, and agriculture has been an area of bipartisan success. Part of being an effective legislator involves building relationships. I've worked to build relationships across both party lines and geographical lines. If we're going to be successful, we need to work together. We'll have disagreements, but partisan attacks won't move our state forward.
Despite the GOP's complaints, rural Minnesota will have a stronger voice in this majority. Eighty-three percent of the state's budget is now under the leadership of chairpersons from greater Minnesota. Greater Minnesota will be heard loud and clear this session.
Instead of arguing about committees or attempting to divide this state, let's get to work on improving all of Minnesota. We need to get to work on boosting agriculture in this state. We need to get to work on improving our schools and lowering property taxes in this state. It's time for solutions, not political posturing.

Saif the Hugh Jackman of India- says John Harris
Justifying the reasons behind choosing Saif, Harris said, "I haven"t yet met Saif Ali Khan. But I loved his acting in a film that I edited. If I get a chance, I would love to work with him."
He added, "Saif has unique features, he can look mature as well as young at the same time. He is like the Hugh Jackman of India. As soon as I am ready with my next project as director, I would look forward to directing him." Saif has this British connection since his academic days as he has studied at Oxford.
John further said, "It would have been great to have him in this horror film. But the male actors in the movie have no major role. Moreover, being a sequel of The Decent, we needed to maintain the continuity. Harris has edited other renowned films like Eden Lake, The Pond, Stardust, Kick-Ass, Snatch and the upcoming movie X-Men: First Class.

Oakley Canopy Tanner Hall Goggles - $114.99
Oakley Canopy Tanner Hall Goggles - Tanner Hall a killer on the cold stuff, but even when he is slaying the comps in a frostbite freeze, his inspiration comes from a tropical zone. Jamaican rhythms move Tanner Hall, and his Signature Series goggle salutes the Lion of Judah. You do not conquer the impossible without lionhearted attitude, so the mane of a lion became the backdrop for a riot of color that carries Rasta red, yellow and green. Do not settle for the tunnel vision of ordinary goggles. When Oakley engineered the Canopy, they expanded the lens volume and created a low-profile frame design. That means you will enjoy a wide-open view with maximized peripheral and downward vision. The razor-sharp optics take advantage of Plutonite lens material that filters out 100% of all UV, and with the combination of dual vented lens architecture and F3 anti-fog coating, you will have superior protection against the threat of fog ups. Our O-Flow Arch technology makes the simple act of breathing a lot easier. For even more comfort, the face foam is a triple layer with moisture-wicking fleece, and the O Matter chassis stays flexible in bone-chilling weather while the strap anchor plates distribute pressure evenly. The wide, adjustable strap has silicone lining to stay securely in place. Canopy is designed for improved compatibility with helmets and most prescription eyewear frames. As far as protection goes, this Oakley goggle meets the impact resistance standards of ANSI Z87.1 and EN 174:2001. Features: UV protection of - $114.99

I still don't feel like 4.1 is "major content patch" even though it has major number.
I'm completely excited about ZA and ZG coming back, especially with new level 85 solo quests for Strangelthorn.For those that seem to be caught on numbering of the patches, Bliz has stated that they want to give us content when it is ready, instead of waiting for a large amount of additions/changes in order to qualify for a major content patch. Comparing Cata patch numbering conventions to past content patches isn't going to work.We're getting content faster now, from what I understand. Enjoy and celebrate it.
Well about time I can finally do something useful with my 525 Archaeology, yet I dont really like the idea of people getting a free boss encounter off me, while I bored myself leveling Archaeology, not to be selfish but what benefit do I get as an Archaeologist from all this!But I'm probably only going to run these places with my guild, since we'll have a higher success rate and we need those crystals lol
Holy @#$%, this looks bloody awesome.
Yeah, this is awesome... Not.Why did I spend so much time gaining rep with the Zandalari Tribe to reach exalted if now I have to stand against them? D8
4.1 patch will be awesome. Why? Two words.Hemet.Nesingwary.:D
I'm just jazzed about being able to work with Vol'jin as an Alliance player. That will be neat to see how it's handled.
Nice lore background to back the patch!
stoked for this patch!
This patch is really "The Crystal Skull" of content patches.
No, that would be the Ruby Sanctum patch.
Imo that was more of an Attack of the Clones.

I am a PC person myself, which do you guys prefer?
Printable View
I am a PC person myself, which do you guys prefer?
PC, I'm not that fond with just about everything with Mac. Especially the "Mac image".
Macs are for stoners, give me the old nerdy guy any day! :lol
I'm a PC person myself, but Dessel has a Mac, so I...I'll shut up now.:facepalm
Keep your big calculators, give me a sexy mac any day. ;)
I hated macs (no reason), until we got one for the family, never had any problems with it. But if I were ever to buy a computer for myself, I would get a PC so I could play all my favorite Novalogic games.
I'm a PC fan, mostly because I've never owned a Mac. I briefly used one when visting the Apple Store in Chicago and thought it was pretty cool. When it comes down to it I would most likely buy a PC because I'm far more familiar with the system.
I started out with PCs myself and then made the switch to Macs a few years back. Never regretted since. The lack of viruses, spyware and all slowing down my comp is a thing of the past.
Dont get me wrong, I still use my Dell for a few things, but my G4 gets the most usage.
Just me.
Stay safe,
They both have their strengths and weaknesses. However, as long as the mac isn't the primary platform for desktop gaming...I won't be buying one.
i've got 4 macs in my house at this very moment.
dual proc g4 tower, 20" g5 imac, 12" g4 powerbook, 13" core2 duo macbook
Been a Mac user for over ten years. But the new Macs are Intel and dual bootable so they can run both the Windows and OS X operating systems.
The only reason I would buy or build a PC is if I needed to have a cheap Windows machine with a parallel/serial port for a homebrew CNC or computerized foam cutter.
I have been a PC/Mac user for about 9 years. And I would just like to say that I use my PC's at work, and my Mac when I get home. They both have their strong and weak points. I think we can all agree that PC's/Mac's suck. I am waiting for someone to come out with a computer that gives us the best of both worlds.
ill design a computer that is pc and mac put together. Ill call it Pac. Also im more of a pc person.
Mac's have handles on them so it is easier to carry them to the dumpster. :lol
If you uninstall all of that useless extra **** that comes with windows, it won't crash....unless you keep going to those porn sites and click everywhere. Who really needs all those crappy fonts anyway.
They both suck. They suck because they try to please every kind of user at the same time instead of offering a basic os and offering software packages for web development, or digital imaging, or whatever. Mac is a bit more stable, but when one crashes, it is more difficult to recover lost documents. When a pc crashes, you just turn it back on (most of the time.)
I hope I have not offended anyone...
well, no one important anyway.:p
Mac for Music programming, Image editing etc, PC for games, net. Best of both worlds!
I use an Imac g5, I've never had any problems with it.:lol
Been a diehard PC fan for years but am slowly being turned... mostly by Microsoft's inability to do anything but come out with more and more bloated software as it goes. With Macs now being Unix based and with the fact that you can dual boot... it is getting harder to justify a PC.
I'm an Apple Certified technician, and have worked in the field of Mac support for over seven years. I've supported Windows for some of my employers, and from a 'PITA' standpoint, working on Wintel PCs really is a PITA.
My argument for Macs has been the same since 1998, and I'm happy to see that Apple has moved in that direction ever since. UBIQUITOUS COMPUTING.
We're in an age where computers are everywhere and they are in everything. Using them has become commonplace, much like every other appliance in our homes such as microwaves or refrigerators. When I buy a refrigerator, I don't care HOW it works, so long as it does what it's supposed to do reliably. Why then, must our personal computers be any different?? We use them FAR more and for increasingly more important things such as our memories in digital pictures, our music and home movies. If your microwave kept throwing up cryptic error messages and being a general pain, would you continue to use it?? If it did these things the first week out of the box, would you not take it back?? Why then, do people continue to put up with that kind of **** using Windows? Why must you spend your valuable time to 'keep up' on all the latest Windows vulnerabilities, be mindful of spyware, malware, trojans and viruses? I don't know about you, but I have better things to do with my time.
Which leads us to the Mac. The closest thing we have today to a ubiquitous computing appliance that simply works. Old and tired arguments like price and compatibility are ancient history. When all new Macs can run Windows or Windows apps exactly like their PC counterparts, there is no reason to buy a cheap PC, that is of course, you like dealing with Windows and frustration.
I honestly can't see any practical reason to buy or use a PC with Windows. There is no software out there that specifically requires generic PC hardware with Windows running on it. Gaming is an old argument... if you're a die-hard gamer, sure, buy a PC, but $3000 vs. $300 for a gaming console? And did I mention you can run Windows on a Mac?
Well, I typed much more than I intended to, but it's a subject I have debated passionately every day for the last ten years or more when I got my first Mac in 1994.
And for you windows lovers, windows can be installed on mac computers!!!
Mac owned!!
Very well said, Mike. Up until about 5 years ago, I would have argue with you pretty heatedly, but the LEAPS I have seen Macs take in the past few years has been nothing short of incredible in my book while the PC/Microsoft world really hasn't done much at all... It is getting harder and harder to support Windows when the only thing they really change is a bit of the look and feel to the frontend...
My computer desk at home has a Mac G4 and my own built PC. I use the PC more for gaming, browsing, ect. Mac is used for music, photo, video, and other media. My wife is into photography so she uses the Mac more for that.
I use Macs at work and at home. If you work in the visual arts, there is no other platform really.

In our opinion: Turkey Carnivals time has come and gone
The time has come for the Newberg Fire Department to stage other events to raise money for Toy and Joy
Citing flagging revenues and interest from the community, the Newberg Volunteer Firefighters Association announced last week the demise of its annual Turkey Carnival.
The fall Newberg tradition, begun 72 years ago, had obviously run its course. Interest had waned in the past five years, proceeds were down and the carnival was no longer fulfilling its role as a viable fundraiser for the departments popular and highly successful Toy and Joy program.
Since the onslaught of World War II, the annual Turkey Carnival has been a fall staple in Newberg, providing games for the kids and turkeys for some lucky adults. Like other NVFA events, it had become an opportunity for the community to get together and catch up.
But things change. With all the whizz-bang electronics available to kids today, parents had an increasingly difficult time convincing their offspring that a quaint, low-tech carnival was cool. And the chance to win a turkey through a raffle is not quite the draw it was in the past. Heck, spend enough money on groceries at some local stores and theyll practically give you a turkey these days.
The Newberg Volunteer Fire Department decided that the lack of attendance was the publics way of telling them it was time to do something new, said the departments website.
The carnival also required a Herculean effort to career firefighters, volunteer firefighters, honorary firefighters and their families. Cooks were needed to stock the popular kitchen, attendants were needed at the carnival games and somebody had to hand out the turkeys. It was a lot of work.
Still, were sad that Newberg is losing yet another piece of its history, an emblem of a simpler time when a small carnival could draw together hundreds of people.
Im a traditionalist, said Steve Warden, NVFA president. I hate to see something like this go.
Were confident, however, that the NVFA will come up with another event to replace the Turkey Carnival, like the summer golf tournament, something that will not only raise money for Toy and Joy, but be something that will give Newberg residents the opportunity to get together, see old friends and build community.
Were thankful for the run of the Turkey Carnival and its place in Newberg history.

Tips on how to dress when you fall either side of average.
Let's get one thing clear from the get-go: I have no qualms about being on the shorter side. Though standing at roughly five-and-a-bit foot, I have the idiot self-assuredness of a Chihuahua placed next to a Rottweiler and often forget that I'm usually one of the shortest guys in the room.
I don't compensate or feel the need to act out in a naked bid for respect. No, the only time I suffer from anything vaguely resembling short man's syndrome is when it comes to clothes.
I first came to the realisation that I was a couple of inches shorter than the average human male when I noticed I'd never purchased a pair of jeans that didn't require some cuffing or the hem to be taken up. This was never much of a problem during the '90s because every man and his dog liked to roll things up and it just gave me more room to move. Thankfully, this has also extended to chinos in recent years so I can stop my half-assed safety-pinning that's a direct result of my being too lazy to visit the tailor. But other times it can be a real pain.
And it's not just us wee nubbins that face a world of woe in the change room, our freakishly tall cousins have it even tougher. All we have to do is take something up or in but it's decidedly harder for a taller gent to add an extra yard of fabric to a dress shirt.
With that in mind, here are some handy tips for guys who defy standard sizing.
Short end of the stick
I don't see it as a big deal one way or the other but it's understandable that some guys wish they had a bit more to work with. The first key to dressing taller is to avoid anything that will clutter or break up your frame. This means no big watches, clunky jewellery or busy patterns. When it comes to both casual clothes and dress shirts, stick with monochromatic colours or vertical prints and avoid horizontal anything or small checks.
Don't be afraid to wear close-fitting clothing. I'm not saying you should shoehorn yourself into a pair of skinny jeans - but swamping yourself only serves to make you look shorter. Especially when it comes to business wear, which will make you look like you're wearing your dad's clothes.
Lastly, steer clear of the boy's section and don't wear a Cuban heel to add height. People will know on both fronts. Buy online and look towards Japanese retailers, who have an eye for adult style but cater mainly for smaller guys.
Long Johns
For friendly giants, the opposite of almost everything you just read rings true. Except for the Cuban heels part.
The object here is to break up your sizeable body with patterns and colour. Feel free to wear the biggest, manliest watches you can find and go nuts when it comes to wearing check shirts – the smaller the better.
When it comes to pants, avoid tapered, boot-cut or high waisted. The last two are sage advice for any man, but especially true for our tall brothers. Straight-leg is best and when it comes to jeans you want to opt for mid-to-low rise.
On the upper half, you must make sure that your shirt can be tucked in even if you don't wear it that way. Cropped jackets are out as they'll make your legs look even taller, and something that reaches to your hip is a safe bet.
Those who have to duck walking through a doorway and don't like what's on offer at the big and tall stores might have to go the way of tailor made. It can be as expensive as hell but worth it if you can scrape together the cash. In this instance, stick with classic cuts and looks that will last you a long time. Maybe even go halves with a shorter friend so we can fashion a full-length muumuu from your off-cuts.
What are your favourite workarounds for a deficiency or an excess of height?

For the 2009-2010 academic year, 19 students graduated with a B.S. in Dental Hygiene. The two-year program enrolled 25 new students in June for a total of 48 current students.
Dental Hygiene students (from left) Grady Watt, Jennifer Covington, Emily Lott, Kassie Hodges, Charlotte Allard and Janie Prude pose with instructor Elizabeth Carr. Students visited Belhaven Senior Care on Oct. 22 to teach the basics of oral care to certified nursing assistants while the program's other junior and senior students visited other nursing homes in the tri-county area. More than 90 CNAs in the area received instructions on how to care for their patients' teeth and dentures during the event.
Dental Hygiene will offer a new degree-completion program beginning in June 2011. Associate professor and chair of Dental Hygiene Beckie Barry says the program will be completely online and geared toward working students who previously earned a certificate or associate degree at a community college in the state.
The U.S. Department of Labor Statistics predicts Dental Hygiene jobs to increase 36 percent by 2018. Barry said it's that kind of demand that led to the development of the online program.
In March, the program received full accreditation from the ADA after its site visit with no recommendations.
In October, instructor Elizabeth Carr led the third annual MDHA Statewide Community Oral Health Project. Every year, students and dental hygiene instructors as well as dental hygienists visit nursing homes statewide and teach basic oral health care.
Last year, about 500 Certified Nursing Assistants were trained in proper oral care techniques. After analysing last year's results, Carr said this year's training focused on teaching CNAs how to deliver oral health care to difficult or combative patients.
Dr. Amy Sullivan, associate professor, was appointed to the ADHA test construction committee for the Dental Hygiene National Board exam. Instructor Elizabeth Carr won an ADA Scholarship, and student Rebekah Wright won the SHRP dean's scholarship
Longtime faculty members Kit Stilley, Dr. Peggy Coleman and Dr. Bob Deville retired this year.

Peter Gammons said Thursday that there is 'an increasing' disconnect between Terry Francona and Theo Epstein. Gammons, a guest on The Dan Patrick Show, was asked if Francona could be managing for his job as the Red Sox struggle to hold on to the wild-card lead.
"I think to some degree, it seems very strange to think that," Gammons said. "I've sensed an increasing disconnect between Theo Epstein and Terry Francona and I think some of the things that have happened ... when Terry came out to mercifully take John Lackey out of the game on Monday night after 14 base runners, four stolen bases, a wild pitch and blowing an 11-5 lead and Lackey -- I don't know if he realized it, he said he didn't -- he stared him down, as if 'How dare you come out and get me.' Lackey said that didn't happen, and that's for the world to see. And Terry was upset about it, but nothing was said, no veteran player got in Lackey's face. ... I think last night, there's that strategic 'Why was Beckett coming out in the eighth inning of a tie game when you've got Bard and Papelbon?' You go back over the other notable recent collapses -- the 2007 Mets, the 1995 Angels, neither would be as great as this collapse if the Red Sox don't make the playoffs -- in each case the manager was gone by the middle of next season and there were major shakeups."

The Waukesha Rotary Noon and Sunrise Clubs are hosting their 60th annual pancake breakfast from 7:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 15, at the Waukesha Expo Center, next to the Waukesha County Airport at 1000 Northview Road.
Rotarian Roger Anderson is among members who have supported the community fundraiser for much of its six decades. He said its success comes from the commitment by members to volunteer and sell tickets, all in the name of supporting the community.
"We've had an infusion of enthusiastic people over the years," he said.
Waukesha Noon Rotary Club President Cathy Waller agreed.
"Our club is a group of community leaders who work together to support the common good, both here locally and internationally. We are honored to raise money to help serve many deserving nonprofit agencies here in Waukesha County as well as support the Rotary International's project of polio eradication," she said.
All proceeds from the event are donated to Waukesha nonprofits through the Rotary Club Charitable Fund. Last year more than 20 nonprofits received support from the Rotary. All proceeds made at the annual festival go back into the community. Rotary distributes more than $20,000 each year in Waukesha County for charitable needs.
It's a bit of Norman Rockwell event, Anderson said of the Saturday pancake festival. The community gathers for a good breakfast for a good cause. Neighbors catch up, and children enjoy stacks of pancakes to their hearts' desire.
Last year, more than 1,600 people turned out to consume more than 5,000 pancakes. The event also features a 50-50 raffle conducted by the Waukesha high school Interact Clubs, a group of students demonstrating Rotary's charitable efforts at a younger level.
Tickets are $5 in advance or $7 at the door for all-you-can-eat pancakes. Children 5 and younger eat free. Coffee and milk and one serving of sausage and juice are included in the price; additional sausages can be purchased. New this year is an option for gluten-free pancakes.
Advance tickets may be purchased at Waukesha State Bank, 100 Bank St., or from any club member.
The club donates each year to charities. including Salvation Army, Habitat for Humanity, The Women's Center, Hope Center, Safe Babies Healthy Families and internationally, including help for Haiti and eradication of polio and clean water worldwide.

CPX-351: Better Outcomes in Older High-Risk AML Patients »
"SAN DIEGO, California â" A novel liposomal formulation of cytarabine and daunorubicin, known as CPX-351 (Vyxeos, Jazz Pharmaceuticals), has again been shown to be superior to a standard version of this combination, the 7+3 regimen of cytara"...
Read the CPX-351: Better Outcomes in Older High-Risk AML Patients article »
Mechanism of Action
Fludarabine phosphate (2F-ara-AMP) is a synthetic purine nucleotide antimetabolite agent. Upon administration, 2F-ara-AMP is rapidly dephosphorylated in the plasma to 2F-ara-A, which then enters into the cell. Intracellularly, 2F-ara-A is converted to the 5'-triphosphate, 2-fluoro-ara-ATP (2F-ara-ATP). 2F-ara-ATP competes with deoxyadenosine triphosphate for incorporation into DNA. Once incorporated into DNA, 2F-ara-ATP functions as a DNA chain terminator, inhibits DNA polymerase alpha, gamma, and delta, and inhibits ribonucleoside diphosphate reductase. 2F-ara-A also inhibits DNA primase and DNA ligase I. The mechanism of action of this antimetabolite is not completely characterized and may be multi-faceted.
Cardiac Electrophysiology
In a randomized, uncontrolled, open-label, parallel study, patients with B-cell CLL were administered a single dose of Oforta™ 40 mg/m2 (n = 42) or intravenous fludarabine phosphate 25 mg/m (n=14). The maximum increase in the baseline-corrected mean change in QTcI (individual-corrected QT interval) following treatment with Oforta™ (fludarabine phosphate tablets) was less than 10 milliseconds.
Studies with the intravenous product have demonstrated that fludarabine phosphate is converted to the active metabolite, 2F-ara-A. Clinical pharmacology studies have focused on 2F-ara-A pharmacokinetics.
Following administration of the intravenous product, systemic plasma clearance of 2F-ara-A is approximately 117 mL/min to 145 mL/min. After five daily 30 minute intravenous infusions of 25 mg 2F-ara- AMP/m2 to cancer patients, trough concentrations of 2F-ara-A increased by a factor of about 2. The terminal half-life of 2F-ara-A was approximately 20 hours. Plasma protein binding of 2F-ara-A was approximately 19% to 29%. A correlation was noted between the degree of absolute granulocyte count nadir and increased area under the concentration x time curve (AUC).
2F-ara-A exhibits dose proportional increases in AUC and Cmax after single oral doses of 50 mg, 70 mg or 90 mg of 2F-ara-AMP. Cmax of 2F-ara-A occurs 1 hour to 2 hours after single or multiple oral doses and is approximately 20 % to 30 % of the maximum plasma concentrations produced at the end of a 30 minute intravenous infusion of the same dose. The absolute oral bioavailability of 2F-ara-A is 50 - 65% following single and repeated doses of Oforta™ (fludarabine phosphate tablets) . Similar systemic exposure (AUC) was observed after a single 40 mg/m Oforta™ and a single 25 mg/m2 fludarabine phosphate intravenous dose. The terminal half-life of 2F-ara-A was similar to that following intravenous administration; approximately 20 hours. The Cmax, AUC and terminal half-life of 2F-ara-A are unaffected when administered with a high fat meal, although Tmax is slightly delayed from 1.3 hours to 2.2 hours.
Following intravenous administration, renal clearance of 2F-ara-A represents approximately 40% of the total body clearance of fludarabine phosphate, and total body clearance is inversely correlated with serum creatinine and creatinine clearance. In two patients with median creatinine clearance of 22 mL/min/1.73 m2, 2F-ara-A clearance was reduced by 56%. Dosage adjustment based on creatinine clearance is recommended as follows:
Reduce dose by 20% in patients with mild to moderate renal impairment (creatinine clearance 30 to 70 mL/min/1.73 m2). [See WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS]
Reduce dose by 50% in patients with severe renal impairment (creatinine clearance < 30 mL/min/1.73 m2). [See WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS]
Clinical Studies
Study 1, a single-arm, open-label study of Oforta™ (fludarabine phosphate tablets) was conducted in 78 adult patients with CLL refractory to at least one prior standard alkylating-agent containing regimen. In this multicenter study patients were treated with Oforta™ (fludarabine phosphate tablets) at a dose of 40 mg/m daily for 5 days every 28 days. The patient population median age was 64.5 years and consisted of 72% males and 28% females. Ninety-nine percent of the patients were Caucasian. The Rai stage for patients entering the study was: Stage 0 (3.9%), Stage I (20.5%), Stage II (32.1%), Stage III (11.5%), and Stage IV (32.1%). The mean number of treatment cycles was 5.1 with a mean daily dose of Oforta™ (fludarabine phosphate tablets) of 38 mg/m2. The overall objective response, according to standardized response criteria developed by the National Cancer Institute CLL Working Group (NCI criteria), was 51%, including 18% complete responses and 33% partial responses. The overall response rate, according to standardized criteria developed by the International Workshop on CLL (IWCLL criteria), was 46%, including 21% complete responses and 26% partial responses. Data on duration of response was not collected.
In Study 2, a supportive single-arm, open-label study, Oforta™ (fludarabine phosphate tablets) was administered to 81 previously untreated patients with B-CLL. In this multicenter study each patient was treated with Oforta™ (fludarabine phosphate tablets) at a dose of 40 mg/m2 daily for 5 days every 28 days. The patient population median age was 64.0 years and consisted of 63% males and 37% females. Ninety-nine percent of the patients were Caucasian. The Rai stage for patients entering the study was: Stage 0 (3.7%), Stage I (37.0%), Stage II (37.0%), Stage III (9.9%), and Stage IV (12.3%). The mean number of treatment cycles was 5.9 with a mean daily dose per patient of 71 mg to 74 mg. The overall responses rate, according to NCI criteria, was 80%, including 12% complete responses and 68% partial responses. The overall response rate, according to IWCLL criteria, was 72%, including 37% complete responses and 35% partial responses. The median duration of response was 22.9 months.
Study 3 was a supportive randomized controlled open label study in patients with previously untreated B-CLL that included fludarabine phosphate monotherapy and fludarabine phosphate combination therapy arms. In this study 107 evaluable patients received Oforta™ (fludarabine phosphate tablets) 40mg/m orally daily for 5 days every 28 days. The overall response rate according to modified NCI criteria was 74% and the CR plus nodular PR rate was 41%.

Can anyone tell me anything about the machine i have?Attachment 389400
It is a Singer model 15 clone. QB has a Thread for them. Nice machine.
Thanks grant15clone! Couls you tell me the name of the thread im new to this site and not sure how to navigate around. Thanks again!
I PM'd you.
This thread has morphed into the Vintage Sewing Machine Shop! Please go and read the first post on the first page again, where the purpose of this thread is outlined. It's for PHOTOS and brief description of the machines we HAVE. It is not for discussion, looking for machines, looking for parts, or any other chit chat. The thread began to deteriorate around page 70... Lets take the other talk back to the Vintage Sewing Machine Shop where it belongs and leave this thread for photos, as was intended.
THIS is where discussion is welcome, for machine problems, parts, and anything else pertaining to vintage machines:
Thank you.
$50, Weird table, It is a W&W12. Think it is worth putting up a thread with a dozen or so photos?
I picked up the second of this pair of 128's from late 1921 and early 1922 this weekend. Both machines are still in progress but getting close to being done.
Attachment 389959
good lord..!! those are amazing...
Sewbizgirl is right. This shop was set up to be for photos only. Let's please take the discussion to the Vintage Shop. Photos only here! We don't want the photo section to turn into 2,000 pages of text!

This book was written by Anna Sewell and published in 1877. The book follows the life of a horse from his birth to his last days. Throughout his life he has several different owners and they all treat him differently. He is put to work in different ways, fed and cared for differently, etc. Some of his owners are kind, some are harsh. So how does Beauty end his days? Does he lead a long and happy life? Is he treated poorly and his end is miserable? Is he shown compassion by his owners?
I just loved horses when I was younger so of course I loved this story. Comparing the different ways that Beauty was treated helps us understand how animals should be treated.
When I initially sat down and started writing down the titles of classic children's books I soon found a very long list. I decided to limit myself to some that are books that I actually read when I was a child, most of which I read several times, and loved. I still had a hard time narrowing down my search. There are so many fabulous books out there and the classics are still read for a reason, they're great literature! So dust off your library card and go check out some of these wonderful books. I am initially hiding 9 caches for the Waukesha Janboree and it was not easy to only choose 9 classic books. Maybe you could include in your log whether or not you've read the book and what you took away from it.
This cache was hidden for the 2014 Waukesha Janboree. Permission has been given by the Waukesha City Parks and Rec for the placement of this geocache.

Get Obama Toilet Paper For That Special Someone On Your Christmas Giving List!
I bring up this 'I told you so' certainly up not to gloat, but as a reminder to all of the liberals out there that elections can and do have consequences!
This article is meant primarily for all those liberals at the restaurant, the bar, the beach, the gym and any of the other places where I've had verbal fights about the political realities in the US and Barack Obama in particular.
Pre-2008 and even in 2012 they would all say that Obama was going to be the man to transform America and that McCain and Romney were jokes.
Not that they could tell you why this was the case but after all liberals will be liberals no matter what.
And unfortunately they were right about one thing: This President has been doing his level best to change this country!
The no matter what mentioned above has been 6-years with 2 more to go of a presidency that has done nothing but lead our country down a wrong and very dangerous path.
That Obama would change the world and the United States into a kinder and gentler place has turned out to be the joke that those with open eyes knew that it would be.
That he had all of our best interests at heart is certainly a questionable idea as well.
Now, because of your blind ideology and an unwillingness to actually vet this President before voting for him, I would appreciate it if even one of the issues below that keep rolling around in my mind about the man I have affectionately called The Manchurian President could be explained.
But first I'd like to offer this political statement that was approved (and written) by me:
Remember the quote that has been ascribed to Joseph Goebbels and decide if to some extent it describes the political situation that our country faces today.
"If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State."
Knowing this, in the 2014 mid-term and 2016 presidential elections, get off of your ass and do something about voting into Congress and the White House representatives of the people who actually love the country and who will do what it takes to put us back onto the right course!
Liberal Challenge
Can one of the Obama sycophants out there who may actually still support this President and his agenda explain away even one of these items from a sampling of Obama administration examples of incompetence or issues that may actually be even worse than incompetence?
I continue to wonder at what point do the blinders come off and these people actually recognize what's going on out there?
With these issues on his resume, what is this President's actual agenda and endgame?
- The IRS scandal
- The Fast and Furious Scandal
- The Benghazi Scandal
- The Arab Spring debacle
- The Russia-Ukraine debacle
- The Syria redline debacle
- ***Strong potential that this administration will cut some type of deal with Iran that in exchange for that rogue nations help in the war against ISIS that the US will relax some of the restrictions on Iran concerning the enrichment of uranium
- The elimination of our missile defense in Eastern Europe debacle
- Cutting our military to the bone
- Ceding US leadership on global issues to the United Nations and to coalitions that never really seem to be formed
- Taking the side of the Palestinians over our ally Israel
- Missing no opportunity to attempt to stir up racial tension
- Record level of government debt with nothing to show for it beyond a disappearing middle class
- Dithering and playing politics with every foreign policy and national security issue he has faced
- Refusing to go forward with the Keystone Pipeline
- Allowing ISIS, ISIL or whatever the hell this President wants to call it, to run roughshod over Iraq and Syria without lifting a finger to stop it
- Ignoring every piece of advice put forth by his military experts
- The Obamacare debacle from its inception to its rollout to its impact
- Explosion of dependency programs such as Food Stamps in an economy that the administration keeps telling us is doing so much better
- Dithering on a solution to stopping Ebola from coming to our shores and now it is here!

Fund managers and analysts are keen to get a better handle today on Mr Coleman's revised growth strategy, which includes a renewed dip into overseas exploration as evidenced by a move to bid for a licence off Cyprus.
The strategy of broadening Woodside's LNG-focused asset base and ramping up exploration overseas was "logical" but there had been "no real visibility" on where Woodside would look and when investments may come, said Morgan Stanley energy analyst Stuart Baker.
"Investors are pretty keen to see where the money from Pluto will go," said another analyst.
He was referring to the huge surge in cash flows that will fill Woodside's coffers from the recent start-up of the $14.9 billion Pluto LNG project in Karratha. Woodside's cash flow from operations is estimated by Merrill Lynch to jump by 86.5 per cent to $US3.59 billion next year, the first full year of Pluto production.
Mr Coleman earlier this month pointed to the proposed Cyprus exploration venture, where Woodside has joined Edison International, Enel and Israel's Delek, as showing a new keenness to work with partners to expand opportunities.
He said Cyprus was the first part of a move into the eastern Mediterranean, where significant gas finds suitable for LNG have thrown up good opportunities for Woodside.
"That's the first indication as to the types of opportunities we will be pursuing," he told The Australian Financial Review. "Have we finished? No we haven't," he said, referring to potential new moves with Delek, opportunities from Woodside's tightened links with Mitsubishi and Mitsui, and interest in other emerging basins.
Mr Coleman's comments on prospects for expanding Pluto LNG, either using Woodside's own discoveries or resources held by third parties would also be of keen interest, said Credit Suisse's Nik Burns.
Woodside may also shed some light on the pricing for LNG from Pluto, perhaps not as robust as some in the market had assumed given the contract was negotiated in the weaker market of 2006-07, he said.
Citigroup is estimating an LNG price for the Pluto deliveries to Tokyo Gas and Kansai Electric of $US10.08 per million British thermal units at an oil price of $US100 a barrel. That represents a discount of about 41 per cent to equivalent oil prices.
Woodside's recent $US2 billion deal to bring Mitsubishi and Mitsui into Browse LNG has meanwhile heightened speculation on whether the costly venture will use the controversial James Price Point site.
But Woodside has already said it will not have access to critical information on onshore construction costs until the September quarter.

Rashida Jones Blames "Totally Rampant" Porn For Teen Pressure To Be Sexy
Rashida Jones talks about the pressure to be sexy, her own not sexy past, and porn in a new interview in Time. The actress, who has caught flack for her opinions about sexuality, feels society today has "this kind of blanket pressure to be a certain way, to be sexy in a certain way, to get the attention of men and also other women."
Jones is particularly upset about how this pressure affects teenagers, and credits her own success to not succumbing to the same pressures as young people today. She says, "I think about my teenage self and I was pretty awkward and a little overweight and definitely not sexy, and definitely never even attempted to be sexy. Thank God! Because, first of all, it wouldn't have worked, but second of all, if I had had that pressure I'm not sure I would have been as proficient with computers or read as much or gotten to know myself or developed a sense of humor." When it comes to today's teenagers, says Jones, "I just think about it through my own personal experience and want better for younger girls."
Jones mostly blames the accessibility of "totally rampant" porn for this change in values. While she feels "porn is fine for adults as entertainment," Jones has a problem with its availability to younger people because "your brain is still forming until you're 26. Your ideas of love and romance and sex are being formed by the things that you watch at a super young age." Still, Jones is "cautiously optimistic" about the future, and even started the idea of an "Elegant Selfie," where it's "not sexual as a top-note, where it's got other flavors to it."
