Retailers turn the page with looks built to last
November 26, 2001,
If two words characterize holiday catalog offerings this year, they are "practical" and "flexible." With the economy in a slide and consumer spending uncertain, most catalogs are going for looks that can extend beyond the season. Even where patterns are decidedly winter in theme, often they are shown as coordinates that can layer into standard cold-weather sets. Of course, there's always room for opulence on the upper end, but this year the focus has shifted to quality, color and construction rather than fussy details.
Pottery Barn Bed + Bath
Company Kids
Let's hear it for the boys. Company Kids makes a concerted effort to pull more boys and gender-neutral designs toward the front of its winter/holiday catalog, going for seasonal patterns rather than short-lived holiday designs. Here, Frosty Flannel Friends features a snowman quilt and sham that can be layered into plaid flannel bedding for a holiday look.
Restoration Hardware
Restoration Hardware has said that it would step up its home textiles offerings as it overhauls its assortment, and its holiday catalog nods in that direction. The book's 77 skus of home textiles are predominantly shown in cross-merchandised settings. Here, French Floral & Striped Throws are merchandised with a daybed.
Bloomingdale's By Mail
Bloomingdale's By Mail goes for the opulent in its offerings, such as Class Creations' Baez Bedding, which features rich tapestry stripe components. High-end table linens constitute the bulk of home textiles offerings.
Horchow Collection
Horchow Collection features a variety of textiles for the cold-weather season. Here, a tropical theme coordinates across two pages, with Menagerie Linens from Fieldcrest, an embroidered towel set and an imported Tabriz panel rug.
Domestications' book is unabashedly holiday-oriented, with the Fa La La La La sheet set, Holiday Wishes cotton quilt and other decidedly Christmas-themed offerings. It's also resolutely promotional, with most pages trumpeting percent-off deals and its cover announcing 0 percent interest payments for five months.
Cuddledown of Maine
Warmth and light predominate the holiday book from Cuddledown of Maine. Colors run the gamut from rich to icy pastels, but even saturated hues avoid heaviness. Here, the Tashkan Paisley bed, with 270-count sateen sheets, is made in Israel.
Coldwater Creek Home
Coldwater Creek's home catalog for the holidays focuses on the warm and cozy, such as the Weekend In Vermont ensemble, with woven chenille duvet cover and shams on embroidered, 200-count cotton sheets. In fact, Coldwater manages to show 16 beds, numerous rugs and assorted dec pillows without once resorting to a snowflake.
Neiman Marcus
The Neiman Marcus holiday catalog may be light on home textiles — limiting its offerings to two bedding collections — but the textiles shown are premium: Anichini's TAJ Collection, with Italian-made, 600-count Egyptian cotton sheets; and Sferra's over-the-top Mellissimo 1,020-count Egyptian cotton sheets and pure cashmere blanket.

London guide by Branson
Richard Branson has revealed some of his favourite things about London in a free app released by Virgin Atlantic that provides a guide to the city. Branson says he loves Notting Hill and Westbourne Grove for their "life and vitality" and he names Assaggi and Jamie Oliver's Fifteen as favourite restaurants. He rates the new St Pancras Hotel as one of the city's top drinking establishments and the London Eye as his favourite landmark.
"It has to be the London Eye, because it reminds me of the time we played a brilliant joke on its sponsor BA [British Airways]. They were having trouble erecting it, so we flew an airship over the Eye bearing the slogan 'BA Can't Get It Up'."
The Virgin Atlantic London City Guide is available for free from the iTunes App Store. See virgin.com.
Pilot recalls flight nightmare
Qantas pilot Richard de Crespigny's new book QF32 sold out at some book shops within three days of release and the publisher, Pan Macmillan, says a reprint is likely.
De Crespigny has written an edge-of-the-seat account of the harrowing Qantas flight he captained on November 4, 2010. Shortly after takeoff from Singapore bound for Sydney, an engine exploded and shrapnel ripped through a wing and the fuselage, destroying vital flight systems.
He has told the story of how he and the crew nursed the crippled Airbus A380 back to the ground with 469 people on board. De Crespigny says there were two big bangs before things went crazy in the cockpit with alarms sounding and red lights flashing.
"The first sound was like a backfiring car, and could easily have been a noise resulting from an engine surge. But the second boom was like nothing I had experienced before. There was no time to think," he writes.
De Crespigny told Smart Traveller last week the damage from the explosion was worse than something that could be inflicted by a hand-held ground-to-air missile. Despite the incident, he says he has faith in Qantas, Airbus and Rolls-Royce (the manufacturer of the engines).
"The fact that we came home is a compliment to Airbus for absorbing the damage and remaining in the air, to the Rolls-Royce engines that kept going and to Qantas for its procedures. It's a happy ending for everyone."
De Crespigny is still flying A380s and believes the combination of Qantas, Airbus and Rolls-Royce is one of the safest ways to travel. A badly fitted oil pipe has been blamed for the incident, although the Australian Transport Safety Bureau is due to release its report into the investigation of the flight next month.
QF32, by Richard de Crespigny (Pan Macmillan, $34.99).
Great Keppel's next look
A new $600 million Great Keppel Island eco-resort has been welcomed by Tourism Queensland's chief executive, Anthony Hayes.
"If it goes through, the new Great Keppel Island resort will bring hundreds of jobs and millions of dollars into the region and will be a huge show of confidence in the future of Queensland's tourism industry," he says. The proposal by Tower Holdings comes almost seven years after the group bought the island. Previous plans had been rejected as being too grandiose. The latest plan includes a 250-suite hotel, Greg Norman-designed golf course, 250-berth marina, 750 villas and a private airstrip.
Return of royalty
Cunard has announced its flagship liner, Queen Mary 2, will circumnavigate Australia again in 2014. It will call at eight ports, including Sydney, Melbourne, Fremantle and Brisbane, which will each be visited twice. Pre-registration for the 2014 circumnavigation has opened and sales start on August 20. Among the package options, a 23-day circumnavigation from Sydney or Melbourne costs from $6799 a person, twin share. The ship sailed around Australia for the first time earlier this year.
See cunard.com.
Expect the unexpected
A bag-snatching monkey in Bali, a cobra bite in South Africa and a New York subway robbery by someone dressed as Mickey Mouse are among the more unusual scenarios that have resulted in travel insurance claims in the past year, in a list compiled by Compare Travel Insurance.
Outback Olympics
Running in thongs, camel dressage, waterhole swimming and a soccer tournament on a Darwin Harbour sandbar will be some of the events of the NT Outback Games on September 1. Games ambassador and comedian Mick Molloy says the event is set to be the biggest sporting contest of the year, but he may have forgotten about the London Olympics. Organisers are seeking entrants; those selected from throughout Australia will be flown to Darwin to compete. See NTOutbackgames.com.au; youtube.com.

Line lock Question?
I have a simple question.
Does a line lock use any power when it is engaged? If you were to leave it on would it drain the battery?
Yes, the way it is normally set up, it uses a 12v solenoid to hold pressure at the front brake lines so that the rear tires can be spun in the water box to heat the rubber before a drag strip launch. There are other manual types that you can plumb into the rear or front lines if you're thinking about using it as a park brake.
We used a hydraulic ball valve as a sort of line lock on my son's 455 Olds powered Luv truck. We mounted it in the line to the rear brakes and drilled a hole in the floor of the truck just to the left of the seat. In normal driving, the valve was left in the open position, but when he wanted to heat the tires, he simply turned the valve handle 90 degrees to the off position, thus preventing passing any fluid to operate the rear brakes. Holding the foot brake down only activated the front brakes to hold the truck in the water box. After the burnout, he turned the valve back to open so he had 4-wheel brakes again. Sort of a poor man's line lock. It worked well as a park brake also, just jam the brake pedal, turn the valve to closed and fluid pressure remained in the rear line to lock the rear brakes.

|Marcel Léyat's' Hélica' aerocar of 1921 in full glory - what an object! There's another example in the excellent Musée des Arts et Metiers in central Paris.
|The smoky end of Frank Chatokhine's '38 Triumph Speed Twin
|1921 Hélica, 1925 Excelsior Super X racer, and 1926 Motosacoche 804 Sport, amazingly sharing a single track, but there's plenty of room...
|Cars as full of character as an antique bike, and surely as much trouble to keep in good running order!
|A bored ambulance crew is an excellent sign that riders kept matters under control...
|The Amilcar/Hispano-Suiza aero-engine mashup...
|...and the pilot's view of the beast.
|A Dixieland jazz band kept things light
|No, not a racer, but a rare and wonderful beast, the 1924 BSA 770cc v-twin
|Red, white, and blue...the French flag represented in the engine bay of a Bugatti type 35 straight-8 racer
|One could get lost in the sensuous landscape of a Bugatti Type 59's front suspension - leaf springs, dampers, and axle...
|...with cable-operated brakes of enormous size.
|The crowd mostly kept to the balcony over the starting grid, and avoided the grandstands; the better to smell the Castrol R!
|The 1902 Clément-Gladiator, which was also produced under license in the USA
|No excuses here: I have one too, and this example looks great. Compared to a 1902 Indian, it's a moped, but this is what motorcycling looked like at the turn of the Century. And the Indian would have set me back several zeros more than a Clément!
|A 1928 Norton CS1 racer, with Walter Moore-designed 'cricket bat' engine.
|Lots of vintage bicycles in use, which expedited transversing the grounds. Especially nice in period dress
|The hot rods confer - Dimitri Coste and Frank Chatokhine
|The Hockenheim Museum's immaculate 1928 Douglas SW5 road racer.
|This early Bugatti bears the maker's signature on the cambox! A nice touch; as Ettore was raised in a family of artists, it's understandable he'd sign his creations
|The VRM staff, always helpful, generally smiling. Lots of work to do, but what an office!
|The owner reckoned this might be the first Peugeot v-twin ever sold, the ex-Paris Show 1905 machine
|Well bashed aluminum bodywork on this GN, the twin-carb 'Piglet Special', with plenty of louvres to keep the air-cooled engine cool. A fantastic sight to watch sliding around the corners
|Jean-Luc Gaignard in his 1920 Silver Hawk 1480cc OHC racer; he brought motorcycles too!
|Period correct gents...
|...and ladies!
|A rare Gnome-Rhone with pressed-steel frame and forks.
|I captured this gent in 2013; the car has been in one family since new, and no doubt these youngsters will inherit it
|Big smiles in a big 'teens Mercedes GP racer
|1913 Henderson on the track - the magnificent American 4-cylinder, this is the short-chassis second version.
|Jonathan Rishton, editor of The Automobile (to which I occasionally contribute), peers out the back of the 'works' Ford Vedette van
|'Cally' Callamon looking distinguished in his everyday attire. A well-known exponent of high-wheeler bicycles, who's done the full length of Britain on one
|Even the kids get a race course - with vintage pedal-cars.
|Ultra-rare beast; the OHC Koehler-Escoffier GP 350cc of 1934, a big improvement over their late '20s OHC racers, as it has a proper oil pump and positive oiling for the camshaft, rather than the total-loss feed prior. Cams need lots of oil!
|Laurence Chatokhine with a lovely vintage Peugeot in full Deco decor.
|Rackety old open-wheelers crowding the grid. Just fabulous.
|The technically advanced work of Nougier, here with a gear-driven DOHC head added to a Magnat-Debon
|The 1928 La Mondial with full pressed-steel chassis and JAP engine. A very rare machine, with a cool half-round gas tank - very Deco indeed. Note the doubled-up front brakes.
|Lining up for the Morgan/Salmson 3-wheel races
|Nice ad placement! The command center of the track
|A shot of the 500cc DOHC Magnat-Debon with the full Nougier treatment, originally modified in 1936. Francois-Marie Dumas has recently written a full account of the Nougier enterprise from 1932-72; worth investigating, as their DOHC 4-cylinder racer of the 1950s is serious stuff.
|Oliver Way and his Austin aero-engine racer
|Paterfamilias of the Coste clan
|Sebastien Chirpaz, proprietor of A Piece of Chic silk scarves, some of which adorn my neck!
|I love two wheels, but four wheels like this look like fun too
|A very early Rochet motorcycle, looking very original
|A better view of Jean-Luc Gaignard's Silver Hawk racer, with the banking behind, looking like a wall
|A rare 1932 Styl'son R12 250cc with Blackburne engine
|How the racing across his back must haunt his dreams...
|A gorgeous seafoam green Terrot
|And another Terrot, with an engine of their own make
|Pavel Malanik's 1909 Torpedo recreation, with 1640cc fan-4, which sounded amazing on the track
|Ready for the staging area
|DOHC Amilcar with supercharger replaced by a pair of carbs! Less trouble in actual use?
|Not a men's club; Gillian Carr on an early 60s Velocette Venom
|Thanks for the party Vincent! You're the man!

ED Magedson – Founder
Ripoff Report
Tristar Products, Inc.492 Route 46 E E Fairfield, New Jersey USA
Tristar Products, Inc. Flex-Able Hose aka Not Cap-Able Hose Reported Customer Loss = $75.00 E Fairfield New Jersey
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
I ordered 2 of the Flex-Able Hoses off the As Seen On TV Info Commercial. The first one we used started to leak and than all of a sudden the d**n thing busted. It scared the living crap out of me. Let alone soaked me from top to bottom. So, I guess I didn't learn my lesson the first time! I was watering my flowers with the 2nd hose I purchased and it was like a shotgun went off in my hand. The nozzle of the hose went flying across my garden and once again scared the living crap out of me. These things are pieces of sh** if I am allowed to say this.
I called customer service and I had asked them if they had any complaints of this happening and he said no not at all, this is the first I have heard of this. He was lying right through his teeth. I have read at least 50 complaints thus far about the hose blowing up in peoples faces. I had asked them how I would go about getting a refund. [continued below]....
So, he emailed me a return label. Now mind you, it is a return label with no guarantee of delivery notification. Do they think I am a dumba**? Address is Postage Due Unit, US Postal Service, PO Box 9998, Wallingford, CT 06492-9998.
So, I am going to send mine back UPS and dare them to say they didnt receive the hoses for return. I do not want an exchange, I want my money back. I also think these hoses should be pulled from the shelves of Wal-Mart, Walgreens, Target and anywhere else they sell these hoses. I am not kidding you when it scared the s**t out of me. I just hope that an elderly person is not going to be using one of these and it busts on them, it may cause them to have a heart attack.

The epic gathering of geeks known as CES is upon us. The Wired crew joining the annual onslaught of press conferences and schmoozing required to fondle all those awesome gadgets is doing something a little different this year. Rather than write a zillion posts, we're going to compile most of our coverage in a live blog. It will include everything from breakout products to hidden gems we've found on the show floor.
The goal is to focus on what's important, leaving the minutiae aside. Do you really need an entire article about Company X adding Google+ to an HDTV? No. No, you do not. If it's interesting, we'll add it to the live blog. If it's huge, we'll write a separate story with all the details.
The goal is to curate the signal by removing the noise, because there is a whole lot of noise at CES. We'll pepper the live blog with our own impressions, insights, rants and delirious mumblings from the press conferences, behind-the-scenes confabs and the parties. Especially the parties.
The fun starts Sunday and continues uninterrupted through Friday when we head home with sore feet, aching backs and enough thumb drives to pave a highway from San Francisco to Las Vegas.

McGrath and co respond magnificently
Page Tools
Australia's pace trio can seldom have bowled better than they did yesterday. It was an inspired performance in the toughest of conditions. Nagpur had awoken hot and dry, which is its general mood, and fast bowling was not an activity for the faint-hearted.
Moreover, the pitch had lost its morning sting and had come to resemble a man snoozing under a sombrero.
Nor were the batsmen exactly rabbits. Much could be told from their designation on the scoreboard - not Dravid and Tendulkar but Rahul and Sachin. Upon the confrontation between Australia's pace bowlers and the most accomplished of the Indian batsmen rested the outcome of the series.
If the visitors wilted, their opponents could easily build an imposing total on a fast-scoring ground. If the Australians prevailed, they had one hand upon the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.
Glenn McGrath and co responded magnificently. Apart from a second over from which Virender Sehwag took 16 runs in his enterprising way, barely a loose delivery was sent down. If any of the 36 balls faced by Tendulkar was asking for punishment, then your correspondent missed it.
Dravid needed 56 balls to reach the boundary, and he is far from a stick-in-the-mud.
In short, the Australians were accurate and relentless. Jason Gillespie's opening over allowed the batsmen to cut but the visitors learnt the lesson quickly and thereafter bowled a much tighter line.
Gillespie recovered from his early pounding to end Aakash Chopra's obdurate contribution and returned to beat Tendulkar with a ball that moved back into a batsmen inclined to play across his front pad.
Curiously, Gillespie bowled his second worst over after taking this prized wicket and afterwards slapped himself as 12 runs were taken from it. Apart from these expensive overs, the scoring rate was well under two runs an over.
Very Very Suspect Laxman celebrated its introduction by cutting Shane Warne into Michael Clarke's hands.
McGrath was his economic self. Buoyed by playing the best shot of his career - a hook executed with the roll of the wrists that sent the ball speeding to the boundary - the pig shooter from Narromine celebrated his 100th appearance in Test cricket with a typically niggardly spell.
He put an end to Sehwag's irresolute innings as the cavalier flicked away from his body and was splendidly held by acting captain Adam Gilchrist.
Michael Kasprowicz confirmed his ability to adapt to subcontinental conditions with another probing spell. Varying his pace and movement and bowling with the honesty that has long been his trademark, the Queenslander maintained the pressure even as the ball softened.
Kasprowicz belongs to the same school of thought as S.F. Barnes, a cranky and distinguished Englishman who said there were only three things a fellow needed to know about bowling: "Length, length and length."
Astute tactics also advanced Australia's cause. Sehwag's adventures were cut short by the immediate application of a defensive field featuring a slip, a gully and a man in between and another chap on the boundary at point.
Gilchrist was playing what our American cousins are pleased to call "hard ball".
Australia had a plan for every batsman. No sooner had Tendulkar taken guard than the line of the attack changed and a man was moved across to mid-wicket to intercept his bread-and-butter strokes. When Dravid was facing, mid-on was pushed deeper and straighter while mid-wicket remained in place.
Neither batsmen was able to collect runs in his usual way. Both had to work terribly hard even to reach double figures Tendulkar did not make it.
Of course, it helped that the fielding was as enthusiastic as the bowling was disciplined.
Australia's fast bowlers broke the back of the Indian innings. Not until 35 overs had been bowled in scorching heat was spin tried. Very Very Suspect Laxman celebrated its introduction by cutting Shane Warne into Michael Clarke's hands at cover.
Often, it goes that way as pressure is maintained

Peter Phillip Leaitua has been allowed to go home after an Auckland High Court jury were unable to determine whether he was guilty of a charge of being a party to importing cocaine to New Zealand, following the death of his mother-in-law in 2011.
The 43-year-old has been on trial in Auckland before Justice Edwin Wylie and a High Court jury, who began their deliberations on Friday afternoon.
However the jury came back yesterday saying they were unable to reach a verdict.
Leaitua's lawyer Chris Wilkinson-Smith told Radio New Zealand that his client was relieved to be going home to his family following the hung jury.
"He's got a wife and three young boys so I guess in a very short-term way he's happy to be going home rather than something else.
"We knew the jury had been struggling, they'd been out since Friday, they had the weekend, they came back yesterday and I think it became apparent that the possibility of a hung jury was a real one.
"There will be a retrial -- that could be in a matter of a couple of months, but depending on the court's schedule, that could be into early next year now," Mr Wilkinson-Smith said.
"If one jury can't make a decision we try again, if two juries can't, well then it becomes an issue as to whether there should be a third trial."
In September 2011 Leaitua, his partner, two children and mother-in-law Sorlinda Aristizabal Vega flew from Argentina to Auckland.
Ms Aristizabal, 37, a Colombian national, had 584 grams of cocaine in condoms inside her body, and she died of an overdose of the class A drug the day after landing.
Three of the 27 condoms had broken inside her intestines, causing cocaine to fatally leach into her system.
Leaitua's defence lawyer Chris Wilkinson-Smith argued Ms Vegas was acting alone and Leaitua wasn't involved in his mother-in-law's smuggling.
Leaitua has been remanded on bail.

The bottom line is no matter what you read about CJ Leslie, hes only a kid, and a talented one, and one you don't normally find on the Undrafted market. Obviously worth the gamble. Obviously he has serious red flags(laziness), hence why he went undrafted to begin with.
Did anyone think we were getting Lebron James as a undrafted free agent or something??lol The kids just a talented player that hopefully gets it now, or soon enough.
i hope we can keep kmart... the idea of a bench frontcourt of artest, kmart and stat is very appealing.
ray / shump / melo / bargs / tyson
pablo / jr / artest / kmart / stat
that is a very deep, talented team right there. then you add in the rookies hardaway and leslie... maybe sign tyler as an insurance big... i'd be ready to go to war with this squad against anybody.
highlights from tyler's last game in summer league. i think he's worth signing to a 2 year deal (team option for 2nd year)
not sure if he would accept a deal like that though... we'll see what happens. as of now he has a camp invite, which is just an non guaranteed contract i think.
Tyler got game.. He'll make the team
NYC, you have any opinion on tyler? i think he'd be a solid insurance big. maybe have him down in the d-league to continue developing and call him up if someone gets hurt. i hope we can bring back kmart but if not sign a guy like ivan johnson.
I'm intrigued. I can't wait to see Timmy Hardaway in the blue and orange!
Jeremy Tyler - this was the combine. Tyler's 7'5 wingspan was the longest of anyone in the group. However he weighed the heaviest of anyone in the group at 262.4lbs, and had the second highest body fat at 13.4%. Granted Tyler has been back since the earthquake happened, but apparently he wasn't eating exclusively sushi while in Japan. 9' 2" Standing Reach
Jeremy Tyler, a 6-foot-11 high school junior whom some consider the best American big man since Greg Oden, says he will be taking a new path to the N.B.A. He has left San Diego High School and said this week that he would skip his senior year to play professionally in Japan.
Tyler, 17, would become the first United States-born player to leave high school early to play professionally overseas. He is expected to return in two years, when he is projected to be a top pick, if not the No. 1 pick, in the 2011 N.B.A. draft.

A hearing on a key piece of government transparency legislation was abruptly canceled by the S.C. Senate on Wednesday, leaving supporters of the legislation fearful that the bill will once again die on the vine.
"This reminds me of 2009, when the House Ways and Means Committee had the roll call bill on their schedule," S.C. tea party leader Talbert Black said in an email to his supporters. "We had dozens of people fired up and committed to being at the hearing. But the Ways and Means Committee never met again for the remainder of the session."
A top priority of S.C. Gov. Nikki Haley – who has struggled to live up to her transparency rhetoric – this year's legislation is being sponsored by S.C. Rep. Nathan Ballentine (R-Irmo). If the measure becomes law (and we sincerely hope that it does), anonymous voice votes on tax or spending increases – like last year's anonymous voice vote to raise the cigarette tax – would be outlawed. The bill would also require a recorded vote on the final passage of any piece of legislation – as well as recorded votes on individual sections of the state budget.
(To read Ballentine's bill for yourself, click here).
To its credit, the S.C. House of Representatives has passed this legislation in each of the last two sessions – most recently on January 13. And to its credit, the S.C. Senate has adopted a rules change that accomplishes much of what transparency supporters want.
Still, we believe that this enhanced transparency must be made a part of permanent law – along with a 72-hour rule that is being pushed by S.C. Sen. Tom Davis (R-Beaufort). Davis' bill has been adopted by the S.C. Senate as a rules change, but like the transparency bill is not yet part of permanent law.
Originally scheduled for a hearing on Thursday, the Senate Judiciary subcommittee charged with hearing the legislation was reportedly "too busy" to discuss it. The committee will meet on February 9, although it is unclear yet whether the transparency bill will be discussed.

Proverbs 3
1My son, do not forget my teaching, but keep my commands in your heart, 2for they will prolong your life many years and bring you peace and prosperity.3Let love and faithfulness never leave you;bind them around your neck,write them on the tablet of your heart.4Then you will win favor and a good name in the sight of God and man.5Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; 6in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight. 7Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord and shun evil. 8This will bring health to your body and nourishment to your bones. 9Honor the Lord with your wealth, with the firstfruits of all your crops;10then your barns will be filled to overflowing, and your vats will brim over with new wine. 11My son, do not despise the Lord's discipline, and do not resent his rebuke, 12because the Lord disciplines those he loves, as a father the son he delights in. 13Blessed are those who find wisdom, those who gain understanding, 14for she is more profitable than silver and yields better returns than gold. 15She is more precious than rubies; nothing you desire can compare with her. 16Long life is in her right hand; in her left hand are riches and honor. 17Her ways are pleasant ways, and all her paths are peace. 18She is a tree of life to those who take hold of her; those who hold her fast will be blessed. 19By wisdom the Lord laid the earth's foundations, by understanding he set the heavens in place; 20by his knowledge the watery depths were divided, and the clouds let drop the dew. 21My son, do not let wisdom and understanding out of your sight, preserve sound judgment and discretion; 22they will be life for you, an ornament to grace your neck. 23Then you will go on your way in safety, and your foot will not stumble. 24When you lie down, you will not be afraid; when you lie down, your sleep will be sweet. 25Have no fear of sudden disaster or of the ruin that overtakes the wicked, 26for the Lord will be at your side and will keep your foot from being snared. 27Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due, when it is in your power to act. 28Do not say to your neighbor, "Come back tomorrow and I'll give it to you"—when you already have it with you. 29Do not plot harm against your neighbor, who lives trustfully near you. 30Do not accuse anyone for no reason— when they have done you no harm.31Do not envy the violent or choose any of their ways. 32For the Lord detests the perverse but takes the upright into his confidence. 33The Lord's curse is on the house of the wicked, but he blesses the home of the righteous. 34He mocks proud mockers but shows favor to the humble and oppressed. 35The wise inherit honor, but fools get only shame.

Nice guide. I have it bookmarked and if I decide to build one I'll be sure to refer to this.
If any of you guys can find errors, or perhaps just have a suggestion I'd be very interested in hearing it.

Downtown Bend road project sparks concerns
City looks to improve traffic flow, add crosswalks, bike lanes
BEND, Ore. - Some big delays are coming to one of the busiest intersections in downtown Bend.
"I go across the street several times a day, at least," neighbor Nathan Boddie said Tuesday. "I go back and forth to work, but also foot traffic to the city."
The city of Bend is spending nearly $1 million on improving the intersection between Riverside Boulevard and Tumalo and Galveston Avenues in the area near Drake Park.
The project will add bike paths, add and improve pedestrian crossings and create new traffic flow.
Half of the money is coming from an ODOT grant.
In September and October, Riverside Boulevard will be completely shut down in both lanes for the work.
There's one major portion of the project some neighbors think is a mistake.
When you wrap around Drake Park on Riverside, you won't have to stop to turn onto Galveston -- and vice versa.
"That is inherently involving faster traffic -- people won't be stopping at the intersection," Boddie said.
Another neighbor has similar concerns.
"The biggest issue is people speeding down Riverside, as though it's a drag strip or something," said Majell Beach.
She said the intersection isn't necessarily dangerous, but she'd like to see cars slowing down.
Beach added that if the project makes the roadway slower, she supports the plans.
Project Manager Heidi Lansdowne said the new plans are designed to make crossing the road safer.
"Instead of looking over your shoulder and then that way , and that way, you'll just look right and left.," Lansdowne said.
But improving one area can have consequences for others.
"A lot of traffic cuts through on Tumalo, which was never intended to be that kind of street," Lansdowne said. "This (new) intersection configuration will really reduce that, because it won't be easy to get through there or to get out."
And that worries Riverside Market owner Melanie Gaipo.
"It's frustrating, and you won't be as accessible -- and if you were to leave, turning left will be nearly impossible," Gaipo said of more limited access downtown and from Riverside.
Despite concerns, the city is moving forward , and hopes the project will be complete before November.
The changes also will eliminate on street parking on the south side of Riverside Boulevard.
City officials said drivers can expect congestion and delays through the area.

New England Conservatory is committed to creating a safe environment for all students. Changing attitudes toward sexual conduct starts with education. Therefore, we require all incoming students to complete the Haven course, a web-based informational program that educates students on healthy relationships, the meaning of sexual consent and the role of the bystander in creating a safe and healthy community.
In spite of our best intentions, sexual misconduct may occur on or off campus. We have established a clear set of policies and procedures to address these serious offenses which can be found on our Sexual Misconduct Policy page.
Sexual Assault is a traumatizing experience. NEC encourages victims of sexual assault to seek immediate medical evaluation at a local hospital emergency department where you will likely be examined by a nurse who specializes in sexual assault treatment. The collection of evidence is important, should you decide to press legal charges. Therefore, do not shower, bathe, douche, brush teeth, eat, drink, change clothing or urinate until you have reached the hospital. It is advisable to bring any clothing, bedding or towels that might contain evidence to the hospital in a paper bag. You will not be required to use this as evidence, but it is best to preserve it anyway. Evidence may be collected for up to five days.
NEC encourages students to report acts of sexual assault to the Boston Police. The hospital staff will assist you with the reporting process however, they will not force you to file a police report.
While NEC strongly encourages victims of sexual assault to seek medical attention at a local hospital emergency room, we understand that some students may feel reluctant to take this step. The following resources are also available to NEC students:
- NEC Health and Counseling Services
295 Huntington Avenue Room 309
Phone: 617-585-1284.
Any information shared with NEC Health and Counseling services is strictly confidential. There is a healthcare professional on-call for phone consultations after-hours. Please listen to the Health and Counseling Services outgoing phone message when closed for directions on how to page the doctor on-call.
- The Boston Area Rape Crisis (BARCC) Hotline
Phone: 800-841-8371
- Victims' Rights Law Center
Phone: 617-399-6720 x19

Address: 115 Broad Street, 3rd floor, Boston, MA 02110
- Boston Police Sexual Assault Unit
Phone: 617-343-4400
Reporting Sexual Assault to NEC Administrators
As mentioned above, students who wish to maintain strict confidentiality are encouraged to report acts of sexual assault to NEC Health and Counseling Services. Visits are confidential and medical records will only be released without your consent if subpoenaed by a court of law.
Students are also encouraged to report acts of sexual assault to any of the following NEC administrators who have been educated in the rights of and services available for victims:
- Suzanne Hegland; Dean of Students and Title IX Coordinator for Student against Student Sexual Assault
Office of Student Services (St. Botolph Building, room 224)
- *Rebecca Teeters; Assistant Dean of Students
Office of Student Services (St. Botolph Building, room 224)
- *Allesandra Cionco; Director of Residential Life
Office Adjacent to Student Lounge in Jordan Hall Building
- *Stephanie Barnes; Academic and International Student Advisor
Office of Student Services (St. Botolph building, room 224)
*Please note that these administrators are required to report allegations of sexual assault to the Title IX Coordinator named above.

Titan becomes even more enigmatic
Thick, rigid crust of ice encases Saturn's largest moon, perplexing scientists
By Andrew Grant, 13:39 PM August 28, 2013
Fittingly, a world obscured by haze is very good at hiding secrets.
A new study suggests that Saturn's moon Titan has a thick, rigid crust of ice, a finding that confounds scientists whose explanations for the moon's dynamic surface and atmosphere rely on a flexible crust.
"Already things on Titan were hard to explain. This makes it even worse," says study coauthor Doug Hemingway, a planetary geophysicist at the University of California, Santa Cruz. "It deepens the mystery of a very strange bod...

The sample complexity of pattern classification with neural networks: the size of the weights is more important than the size of the network
Bartlett, P.L. (1998) The sample complexity of pattern classification with neural networks: the size of the weights is more important than the size of the network. IEEE Transactions on Information Theory, 44(2), pp. 525-536.
Published Version
(PDF 591kB)
Sample complexity results from computational learning theory, when applied to neural network learning for pattern classification problems, suggest that for good generalization performance the number of training examples should grow at least linearly with the number of adjustable parameters in the network. Results in this paper show that if a large neural network is used for a pattern classification problem and the learning algorithm finds a network with small weights that has small squared error on the training patterns, then the generalization performance depends on the size of the weights rather than the number of weights. For example, consider a two-layer feedforward network of sigmoid units, in which the sum of the magnitudes of the weights associated with each unit is bounded by A and the input dimension is n. We show that the misclassification probability is no more than a certain error estimate (that is related to squared error on the training set) plus A3 √((log n)/m) (ignoring log A and log m factors), where m is the number of training patterns. This may explain the generalization performance of neural networks, particularly when the number of training examples is considerably smaller than the number of weights. It also supports heuristics (such as weight decay and early stopping) that attempt to keep the weights small during training. The proof techniques appear to be useful for the analysis of other pattern classifiers: when the input domain is a totally bounded metric space, we use the same approach to give upper bounds on misclassification probability for classifiers with decision boundaries that are far from the training examples.

My good friend an eagles fan he can't stand any of the safeties. Especially coleman
Giants are cleaning house but if they released Bradshaw diehl and Webster better be next. Bradshaw was still producing can't say the same for the other two
so the Giants released Bradshaw.... I hope this means they're going after Jackson from St Louis.

Kansas City Chiefs v Oakland Raiders Getty Images
The Raiders are taking a page out of the Jaguars' playbook, not on the field but in the stands.
In what is being termed a "capacity adjustment," the Raiders are planning to block off many upper-deck seats, CSNBayArea.com reports. The move is reminiscent of the tarps the Jaguars have put up in their stadium, blocking off thousands of seats that they're unable to sell.
Although it is not yet known how many seats the Raiders will block off, it will likely give the Raiders the NFL's lowest seating capacity. The Raiders already had the second-lowest capacity at 63,132, higher only than the Bears, who can seat 61,500 at Soldier Field.
The Raiders are expected to close "Mount Davis," the upper deck addition that was part of the deal that got the Raiders to move back to Oakland from Los Angeles in 1996. That addition, which blocked the view of the Oakland hills that was long considered one of the nicest features of the Oakland Coliseum, has long been controversial, and the "Mount Davis" nickname was a shot at the late Raiders owner Al Davis.
The Raiders have frequently struggled to sell tickets in Oakland, and most of their home games have been blacked out. In 2012 they had only one blackout, thanks in part to the new NFL rule that allowed teams to lift blackouts while selling only 85 percent of their tickets.
well damn..... i didn't know it was this bad out their. i agree the raiders got some of the most loyal fan bases out their, but it ain't alot of them....... @_Menace_ what's going on out their fam?

We got Asante(LCB) and McClain(Nickle Corner). Now it's just a waiting game to see wtf we're going to do with Dunta and Grimes. We need another starting corner. Dunta is already under contract but he's a cap casualty. Something needs to be done about that shit. I honestly think him and McClain is about the same talent wise. Just about a 7.5 million dollar difference in pay this season. Whoever is cheaper between Grimes and Dunta. I'd rather have Grimes though.

- - Mainsail Cover Mast Closure (http://www.sailnet.com/forums/gear-maintenance/99319-mainsail-cover-mast-closure.html)
Mainsail Cover Mast Closure
The mainsail cover that came with our boat is pretty shot. Teeth are missing from the zipper, there are tears near some of the closures, and the body had holes in it. I did some temporary repairs a few weeks ago, but the tears near the closures don't give me a lot of confidence in its longevity. I purchased some Sunbrella in the appropriate color (Wheat) and will be making a new cover that is pattererned after the old cover, but I have a question about how to close the part that goes around the mast. On the current cover (I don't know its age) there are twist closures along the bottom, and zippers and snaps along the mast. I assume the snaps are there in case the zipper gives way. On the new cover, I was considering putting velcro along the mast closure instead of a zipper. Is this a bad idea? If so, why?
Re: Mainsail Cover Mast Closure
I don't think velcro will hold up as long as the rest of the cover does. The hooks also have a tendency to grab and tear apart rough synthetic fabrics like Sunbrella (though I haven't tried it with Sunbrella specifically).
I'd use a zipper or just "Lift the Dot" (or twist style) type fasteners. I was once intimidated by zippers, but following the Sailrite instructions made it pretty easy. One boat that I sail on a lot has a zipper, the other has twist style, and I don't notice a big difference in them.
I like sewing, but this guy on eBay practically gives away sail covers:
PACIFIC BLUE JIB BAG, FOREST GREEN JIB BAG items in THE SAIL COVER STORE store on eBay!
We have one on the Catalina 25 and it's pretty nice. Good fabric (it's Sunbrella), but I did have to do a better job attaching some of the twist closures. It has a zipper at the mast and twist closures along the bottom. There is no vinyl liner near the mast as on the best sail covers.
Re: Mainsail Cover Mast Closure
I don't like velcro for closures because it collects spiderwebs, lint, general crap, and because of this starts to fail from the moment it is installed. On our MS cover we have a zipper with a webbing strap sewn into the top cuff of the cover and a nylon snap release buckle, - simple and looks good and works, but I think that this is overkill. If I need to make another sail cover, I would go with simple lanyard closure at the top cuff. zip it up, pull the lanyard tight and tie it up.
Re: Mainsail Cover Mast Closure
Agree that velcro is not the way to go here.
Zippers are nice but I've found that they will fail before the sunbrella will. I prefer the twist fasteners over zippers and or lift-a-dot. The twist fasteners are secure and will last the lifetime of the cover.
Re: Mainsail Cover Mast Closure
Another vote for NO ON VALCRO
Twist fasteners. Maybe valro in between each fastener if you have extra time and want to test which lasts longer to clear your mind.
Re: Mainsail Cover Mast Closure
Mine has zipper on the mast part with a draw string on the top. If you are going to sew a zipper, look for the cushion sewing instructions on sailrite.
Mainsail Cover Mast Closure
I just got one made and they put Velcro on the flaps that cover both the mast zippers and the lazy jack line zippers
Re: Mainsail Cover Mast Closure
If the twist fasteners, aka common sense fasteners, are used occasional Teflon lubrication might keep the fasteners functional longer.
Re: Mainsail Cover Mast Closure
I use plastic snap hooks on the bottom. And I made the sail cover so it wouldn't fit around the front of the mast. Nothing to protect up there, just need it on the sail. Way easier to make. Add a tie on either end and some grommets, done.
Re: Mainsail Cover Mast Closure
Another vote for twist fasteners. Plastic fasteners, zippers, and particularly velcro don't last as long.

When Nigel Nosewhistle was born in April 2011, proud pet parents Michele and Pete Thomas of Skillman, N.J., wanted to pay homage to their previous dog, Sidney, a West Highland white terrier who was known for the noises he would make when he was sleepy.
"Our Westie, Sidney, would make whistling noises when he wanted to go to bed," said Michele. "Nigel was the first name we called him and it became Nigel Nosewhistle."
Although some people view the name Nigel Nosewhistle as a little bit wacky, the Thomas family advises other pet owners to pick a name that will make them feel good. "Don't rush when picking a name," Michele advised. "Pick something that warms your heart when you say it."
Nigel entertains the Thomas family with his behavior on a daily basis, although some of his antics are a bit quirky. "Nigel loves dirty laundry," said Michele. "We have to give him a treat to distract him in order to do our laundry."
The Thomases want to ensure Nigel Nosewhistle and all of their dogs receive the best care, which is the main reason they opted for pet insurance. "Our pets are members of our family," explained Michele. "Fifteen years ago, I researched pet insurance for our dog Sidney and VPI was the company we chose."

text: CUPERTINO, Calif., Jan. 5, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- DURECT Corporation (Nasdaq: DRRX) announced today top-line results from the U.S. pivotal Phase III clinical study for POSIDUR® known as BESST (Bupivacaine Effectiveness and Safety in SABER trial). POSIDUR is a post-operative pain relief depot that utilizes DURECT's patented SABER™ technology to deliver bupivacaine and is designed to provide up to three days of pain relief after surgery. BESST was conducted to measure the safety and efficacy of POSIDUR versus placebo in one abdominal surgical procedure and versus an active comparator (injections of standard bupivacaine) in two other abdominal surgical procedures. The co-primary endpoints were pain intensity as well as the use of opioid analgesics over the first 3 days following surgery. (Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20020717/DRRXLOGO) While the results trended positive for both pain reduction and reduction of supplemental opioid use in the first three days after surgery, they did not reach statistical significance. There were no signs of systemic safety issues, although local site reactions were observed more frequently in the POSIDUR and SABER-Placebo groups than in the active comparator groups. A full safety assessment is not yet available. "POSIDUR continues to appear to be safe based on our preliminary review of the BESST data, which also suggests a reduction in pain associated with surgical incision in all three cohorts," stated James E. Brown, President and CEO. "After a complete analysis of the BESST data and preparation of integrated safety and efficacy reports combining our previous well controlled studies, we intend to hold a pre-NDA meeting with the FDA." "Hospira looks forward to DURECT's conversations with the FDA, and we support their efforts," stated Sumant Ramachandra, M.D., Ph.D., senior vice president, Research & Development and Medical & Regulatory Affairs, and chief scientific officer, Hospira, Inc. (NYSE: HSP) "We continue to believe in the importance of bringing non-opiate pain management solutions to market." POSIDUR is licensed to Hospira for commercialization in the U.S. and Canada. BESST Top-Line Results Primary Endpoints – Cohort 3 (POSIDUR versus SABER-Placebo, laparoscopically-assisted colectomy)With respect to the co-primary efficacy endpoint of pain reduction as measured by mean pain intensity on movement (normalized) Area Under the Curve (AUC) during the period 0-72 hours post-dose, the patient group treated with POSIDUR 5.0 mL (660 mg) reported a mean pain reduction in pain scores of approximately 7% (p=0.1466). The statistical analysis plan included pain on movement as recorded at scheduled times through an electronic diary plus pain scores reported whenever supplemental opioids were administered with such scores attributed as if they were pain on movement. In the prespecified sensitivity analysis (which includes only scheduled pain assessment on movement scores as collected on the electronic diary), the patient group treated with POSIDUR 5.0 mL reported approximately 10% less pain versus placebo (p=0.0410). In relation to the co-primary efficacy endpoint of median total morphine-equivalent opioid dose for supplemental analgesia during the period 0-72 hours post-dose, the patient group treated with POSIDUR reported approximately 16% less opioids consumed versus the placebo group (p=0.5897). The prespecified level for statistical significance is p<0.05, unless one of the co-primary efficacy endpoints is not met in which case the standard for statistical significance for the remaining endpoint is p<0.025. Cohorts 1 and 2 (POSIDUR versus commercially available Bupivacaine HCl solution after laparotomy and after laparoscopic cholecystectomy, respectively)Cohorts 1 and 2 were prespecified to be pooled due to their small sample size. With respect to Cohorts 1 and 2 (pooled), the mean reduction in pain on movement was approximately 20% (p=0.0111) for the POSIDUR group compared to the patient group treated with bupivacaine HCl. In relation to median total morphine-equivalent opioid dose for supplemental analgesia during the period 0-72 hours post-dose for Cohorts 1 and 2 (pooled), the patient group treated with POSIDUR reported approximately 18% less opioids consumed compared to the bupivacaine HCl group (p=0.5455). SafetyOverall, the POSIDUR patient groups showed a similar systemic safety profile as the patient groups treated with SABER-Placebo and active comparator. There were no signs of systemic safety issues. Local site reactions were observed more frequently in the POSIDUR and SABER-Placebo groups than in the active comparator groups; most of these observations were discolorations, the majority of which resolved without treatment during the trial. No negative safety signal has been seen in the initial cardiac and neurologic safety assessment in BESST; however further analysis is underway. About the Design of BESST BESST is an international, multi-center, randomized, double-blind, controlled trial evaluating the safety, efficacy, effectiveness, and pharmacokinetics of POSIDUR in 305 patients undergoing a variety of general abdominal surgical procedures. A total of 48 patients were randomized in Cohort 1, 50 patients were randomized in Cohort 2, and 207 patients were randomized in Cohort 3.

Gainesville Police Officer Accused of Abusing Daughter
The wife of the accused Gainesville police officer who is on trial for abusing his two month old daughter, took the stand Wednesday recalling the day she saw her injured child.
Her husband, Wade Priester, claims to have been sleeping when he awoke to find their daughter on the floor naked with the family dog standing over her. Priester called his wife who was at work -- not 911 to report what had happened. The state says the marking are consistent with child abuse.
"I just kept asking the same questions over and over again trying to put into my head what had happened," says Tabitha Priester.
The state is planning to wrap up their case by Friday. The defense may start calling their witnesses on Friday, but will last through most of next week. The dog has been handed over to a family friend.

Introduction to Infrared Technology
- Details
- Category: About Infrared Heat
Infrared radiation is a form of electromagnetic energy that is generated by the vibration and rotation of atoms and molecules within all objects with temperatures above absolute zero (0º Kelvin; -459º F; or -273º C). Electromagnetic energy, which travels at the speed of light (3.0 x 108 meters per second, or 186,000 miles per second), is comprised of waves that can be measured both electrically and magnetically. The Electromagnetic Spectrum categorizes the wavelengths of these electromagnetic waves.
Along the electromagnetic spectrum, wavelength increases and wave frequency decreases in the following progression: gamma rays (with very short wavelengths in the 10-5 micron range), x-rays, ultraviolet, visible light, infrared, microwaves, radio waves (with long wavelengths in the 1 kilometer range). Infrared (literally meaning "below" or "beyond" the red) is located between the visible and microwave portions of the electromagnetic spectrum and shares many of the same properties of visible light, except it has a longer wavelength.
When infrared waves encounter a solid object they can be reflected (bounce off), diffracted (scattered), refracted (bent), transmitted (pass through), or absorbed by the object - several of these effects can take place at the same time. The visible portion of the spectrum ranges in wavelength from 0.38 microns to 0.76 microns. The infrared portion, which is not visible to the human eye, begins at 0.76 microns and extends to 10.0 microns (micron = one thousandth of a millimeter, one millionth of a kilometer). All objects emit infrared as a function of their temperature.
