Chapter1 (v.1) - The Academy: The Rockefeller Story
Chapter 1
The girl was scared. She was absolutely terrified. They were coming. She had barely escaped with her life and she had no intention of being caught and dragged back, kicking and screaming. She didn't even know why they wanted her anyway. She was nobody. She had no friends and her family hadn't even noticed she was gone. She was a loner, destined to die that way. She was what people called weird. Her eyes were not standard for a normal white girl. They were coal-black and people around her usually compared them to bottomless pits. They were soulless, no emotion able to be reflected. Everybody thought she was evil but everything she did, she did for a reason. She had killed before and she was proud to say it wasn't an accident. The people she had killed deserved it. They were what other people thought her to be. They were the monsters, the ones without souls, not her. She had a soul, probably brighter than any one of these invalids that had the gall to call her out. You see, this had all started about three and a half months ago. Her first day at the illusive place called The Academy. Wow, it seemed so much longer ago than that.
The Academy by its name you would think it to be a big prison type building surrounded by thorn bushes and barbed wire trimmed around gray stone walls at least 15 feet tall. But, no it looked more like a spa. Seriously, it was short and made completely out of glass, with a huge fountain on the pedigreed lawn. It was all cheery, a birds chirping kind of place. She knew when she saw it; her time spent here would be pure hell. She had been sent here when her parents had found her with a knife to her brother's throat. She still didn't know why she did it. All she knew what that she was upstairs listening to Metallica and then she blacked out and she heard her parents screaming. Her brother was only 5 and he had never been the same since. They had had to send him away to live with their grandparents because he never was comfortable around her again. That was not her first offense. They tried to keep her at home after they sent Tyler away but her last straw was holding an ax over her parents while they slept 4 weeks later and then she was off to this wretched place.
She looked at the top floor for it was only two stories high and almost went blind from the glare coming off the glass. For it to be so small, it sure looked imposing. She stepped out of her family-owned limousine and smiled at Luca, their chauffer for the past 12 years. He was her only friend that understood how she felt about her society-given status. She hated it but most importantly she hated the fact that some people, people she might consider being friends with, resented her for it. That was the thing she loved most about her black-outs, was that they kept her out of the status quo of the New York elite. True, those very same black-outs had got her sent to this place, but at least it was better than their condo on the top floor at Trump Towers. "Eliza, Eliza" Luca called out gently. He didn't want to scare her. "Sweetie, do you need me to go in with you?" He asked.
"No, I'm fine. I can do this myself." she answered, flashing him one of her brilliantly faked smiles. She knew he could see right through it, but he wouldn't call her out on it.
"Okay, honey." Luca said, running his hand through his thickly gelled hair. Did she happen to mention he was gay, because he totally was? She blew a kiss at him as the limo drove away. She stood watching it go until it turned a corner and all she could see was a small black dot fading in the distance. She grabbed her bags that she had previously laid on the sidewalk and trudged up to the door. She rapped lightly on it but her knock ended up resoundly sounding like a boom boom, for the front door was one of those heavy industrial metal doors. That was really weird, for it looked totally out of place. The door opened with a scary sounding creak. A man in scrubs and a doctor's mask stood holding the door. He had small beady eyes and a shiny bald head but the thing that was weirdest about him was he was holding something that looked like a scalpel that was covered in what suspiciously looked like blood. He waved her in with the "blood-covered" scalpel. She slid into the little bit of space that the man's body provided and ran into a bright light. She was instantly blinded and reached out to find her barrens. Her hands found something rock hard and she grabbed out instinctively to catch herself. After her eyes adjusted she found it was the man at the door she had grabbed onto.
"Muh, muh. Muuuuh!!!!!" the man grumbled, as he began to wave his scalpel around. She looked at him in a mix of horror and amazement as he continued his mumblings. A woman who she assumed to be a nurse came over in a rush. The woman grabbed her hand off the man and then began to calm him down. When he was calm, he just shuffled away like nothing had just happened.
"Hi, my name is Nurse Candy and you are" the woman turned and asked her.
"Hey, my name is Eliza Rockefeller and what just happened?" she inquired.
"Oh, that's just Larry. He's one of our special cases and he doesn't like to be touched." Candy said cheerfully as she shook Eliza's hand. "So, you're the new girl, the rich one, right." She asked innocently.
"Yes, the very same." Eliza answered sarcastically. She was already ready for this day to be over.
"Okay, we're going to need you to sign in over there and then we'll get you settled." Candy said, pointing to a large reception area and desk that Eliza now noticed to be in the center of the room.
There were about three people already standing in a line, waiting to get checked in. She wondered how many people checked into this place every day. Because judging by this, if four people checked in everyday there were a lot of crazy people in here. She waited patiently and as she was waiting she noticed this place could use a little better help. The nurse at the desk barely even looked up as she checked people in. It was a totally no-care attitude and that could not be good for the patients' wellbeing. It was her turn now and she stood at the desk waiting for some type of direction for she had totally not been listening to what was being said as the three people in front of her had checked in. "Name." the desk nurse said replied in monotone voice.
"Eliza Rockefeller" she replied back in the very same monotone voice. As she said her name, the nurse looked up in surprise.
"Eliza Rockefeller of the Standard Oil New York Rockefellers?" she practically yelled at her.
Here we go again, she thought to herself. Another person treating her better because of her name. She was in a crazy house, just because she was rich didn't make her any less crazy than the others, well except for that Larry guy. She rolled her eyes and took a deep breath, preparing for the insanity that was about to happen.
The receptionist flung herself from behind the desk so fast she had to stop herself from crashing on the floor with a jerking motion. She took Eliza's hand and pumped it eagerly, smiling so hard, Eliza thought her teeth would crack.
She placed her hand on the back of her shoulder and beamed even harder if that was possible. \"Here, I'm going to show you to your room, Mrs. Rockefeller.\" she said while using the hand placed on her back to guide her down the hallway. \"It is so nice to have you here.\" she said still guiding her down the hall.
Eliza tuned her out and glanced at the rooms that they passed by. They were pretty standard inmate-looking rooms. They were completely abysmal, lacking color. There was one bed sitting up against the wall covered in gray scratchy looking sheets. With one lamp on a end table beside the bed and a dresser against the opposite wall. In length it looked about 12 feet across and 6 feet wide. It was a very small room.
She found herself beaming on the inside to find the rooms so lacking in originality and color. She was finally out of the New York lifestyle. They passed a communal bathroom where a lot of the patrons where located, seeming to be splashing water upon themselves. She laughed a little on the inside to discover the other patrons considered this the meeting place rather than the large lobby they had just passed.
They were still walking further down the hall and when she looked to her right, she found the receptionist still blabbing her ear off. She began to worry when they reached the end of the hall when the receptionist guided her up some stairs located on their right.
Her heart sunk when they reached the top of the stairs, for they did not open upon another hallway of abysmal rooms, but rather a posh looking living room. The receptionist beamed, \"This is where you will be staying.\"
She pointed where they were standing, \"This is the living room.\" Pointing to her left and then her right, \" That is the bedroom and the bathroom respectfully\". She pointed down the other hall and said, \"And there is the kitchen, fully-stocked of course. Now that you know where everything is I will leave you to get settled. She walked back down the stairs, leaving her in this extravagant place of misery.

Author Claims His Dad Was The Zodiac Killer
The author of a new book says his dad is the infamous Zodiac killer.
An excerpt of the book in New York Magazine says Louisiana resident Gary Stewart discovered his father was the Zodiac after 12 years of research.
The revelation is laid out in "The Most Dangerous Animal of All," in which Stewart is searching for his biological father.
The Zodiac killer murdered at least five people in the Bay Area in the late '60s and despite more than 25-hundred tips was never captured.

Sep 13, 2013 at 9:44 am #1307603

@bolsterLocale: Between Jacinto & Gorgonio
On the trail/in camp, I prefer to wear a short sleeve tee shirt as a "base base" layer, pretty much at all times, regardless of whatever else I'm wearing on top. I tend to hike warm areas (so calif, arizona). I've been wearing these thin polyester shirts found at walmart (Starter Dri-Star), and I like them (very thin, which I like) except they really retain odor. I even carry and use deodorant, but these shirts just plain stink after a day's activity. I have to carry two, and wash one out each night. "Camp-washing" the underarms with limited water and soap helps a little, but cuts into my water stash, and gets the shirt far from clean.
Keeping in mind that I want this base layer to be thin and light, dries fast and doesn't retain water, what are my options for this foundational undergarment, that reduce odor? Or is my system "as good as it gets"? Are there some synthetic fabrics that are lower odor retention? What is "microbial treatment," and anyone had good experiences with? Wool seems too hot for my use but…maybe?Sep 13, 2013 at 10:22 am #2024541

Lightweight wool is actually pretty cool. I really like my Patagonia wool t-shirt, and it does well in the heat.
I practically lived in my Capilene 2 long sleeve shirt for two weeks (was able to rinse it in streams a few times) this summer, and it really didn't smell that bad.Sep 13, 2013 at 11:25 am #2024558

I hike in much the same conditions as do you. I use a light weight merino wool T-shirt. I am currently using a light Icebreaker shirt although I have also had good luck with Smartwool products. Non-stinky and relatively cool.Sep 13, 2013 at 11:39 am #2024564

Have you tried hiking in a cotton t-shirt?
In the dry california heat I don't find them getting uncomfortably sweaty.
They retain your body moisture and you dehydrate less.
There are lots of synthetic shirts out there with anti-microbial treatments that are supposed to work well.Sep 13, 2013 at 2:54 pm #2024611
As far as pure stink control and over the overall life of a garment, wool and linen are going to be your best options. Wool is somewhat warm though, even when thin. Linen is much cooler (and dries fairly quickly, especially in lower humidity-high heat conditions), but i don't think i've ever seen a t-shirt made out of it. However, there are plenty of 55% hemp and 45% cotton t-shirts out there, and this would work fairly well too, since hemp and linen are very similar in a lot of ways.
Less ideal, but still pretty good are highish nylon- to lowish cotton blends (if you can find it, also somewhat rare). Even a pure nylon t-shirt will stink less than a pure polyester one (if both are untreated). Plus it will be cooler if all other things are equal since nylon and polyester have significantly different thermal conductivity levels. The reason why nylon is less stinky than polyester is because it's less extremely hydrophobic. Extremely hydrophobic fabrics get stinky fast because the oils, skin cells, salts, etc get stuck inbetween the fibers of the garment and hard to wash out because the fibers and fabric literally repel water more than those that are hydrophillic or like nylon sort of inbetween.
As Justin hinted at, in hot, dry heat, you actually want a fabric that can hold moisture some. It prolongs the cooling effect. So if you're talking really hot and really dry, cotton actually works pretty well because of that prolonged cooling effect and because it's very thermally conductive–heat passes easily through the actual fibers. But for less extreme conditions of hot and somewhat dry, nylon-cotton blends work very well.
Also, this will lighten up a garment potentially since nylon is significantly lighter than most other fabrics (except polypro).
Re: treatments, some seem a lot better than others ime and research. The ones that involve chemical finishes are somewhat known for being able to be washed out of the garment, but other treatments last much longer. I have good experience so far with Dri-Release stuff.
Hope this helpsSep 13, 2013 at 3:28 pm #2024619

Icebreaker makes a pretty thin merino wool that dries pretty quick and stays cool enough for me even in severe heat. I've worn one of these for many days in a row in 90+ without much more than a dunk in a lake now and then to wash dust off it, and didn't hold any kind of stink.
Just if you're trying wool, buy from a place with a great return policy, as you might find out on day two or three that it causes you to itch.Sep 13, 2013 at 4:28 pm #2024634

I've never met a wool that didn't. That's why I'm so wary of buying an expensive wool tee shirt.
I should try dri-release first.Sep 13, 2013 at 5:07 pm #2024645

Smartwool isn't itchy in their microweights and lightweights.
Ibex, however is.
I will say, though, I wear wool religiously. I literally wore the same long sleeve wool shirt about 75% of the summer, including 90-100+ heat days. It was a Smartwool Lightweight shirt. I also cycle in an Ibex Woollies (the sleeves aren't loose). I never feel an itch anymore, and I never reach for anything else for extended trips.
I've recently started cycling in a wool/synthetic blend from TNF I got from someone in Gear Swap and so far, I love it. It's very soft. However, it's definitely a sweater and not a warm-weather garment, so this doesn't help you much, but it might be worth looking at blends. I personally doubt blends for odor; (if there's synthetic thread in there, won't it stink?)
In other words…
Try wool. If you commit a bit, you may never go back. The "itch" is hype.
I'm wearing, right now, my Smartwool long underwear. Earlier today, I was wearing my Ibex baselayer top with Icebreaker cycling shorts and wool toe socks, with a wool headband. I slept last night in Smartwool briefs. I am a poor college student, but I rotate through 2 pairs of underwear, 10 socks, 2 light shirts, 1 sweater, and 2 sets of long underwear, all wool, 365 days a year. Only time I'm not in wool is when I'm changing wool pieces.
I actually told a girl once that a significant part of foreplay for me was removing wool. She didn't really think it was as funny as I did…Sep 13, 2013 at 5:12 pm #2024648

Icebreaker lightweight merino wool is the way to go. I live in the hot and humid mid atlantic. I have no problem wearing wool in the summer. It does not itch and although counterintuitive actually keeps me cool. Absolutely no odor and dries very quickly. Won't ever use synthetic again.Sep 13, 2013 at 5:44 pm #2024656

Others have mentioned wool, and I find it the best for stink–even after many days. Takes a while to dry, can be fragile, and is always expensive.
I found ibex to be the itchiest, smartwool almost as itchy, but patagonia to be almost itch-free. Seems to vary person to person, so ymmv.
To treat and maybe prevent stink on synths, I sometimes carry 2 oz. spray bottle of drugstore hydrogen peroxide. Sprayed in critical areas, it works very well–for me. I never had any problem with burning or bleaching.Sep 13, 2013 at 7:15 pm #2024667

In yet another case of "your mileage may vary," I've never found Ibex to be particularly itchy, certainly no more so than Icebreaker and Smartwool.Sep 13, 2013 at 8:12 pm #2024678
Max DiltheySpectator
@mdiltheyLocale: MaxTheCyclist.com
The thinnest Ibex is thicker than the thinnest Smartwool and Icebreaker. When I reach for a thin item, I usually choose Smartwool first. That being said, I think Ibex has the finest stitch quality and overall fabric quality, the pieces feel a lot more durable and they don't stretch like smartwool does.
Now, Patagonia's merino is actually, to my knowledge, a merino/synthetic blend unless they've changed things.
Arcteryx's wool is fine, but no better than anything else and about 20% more expensive.
YMMV!Sep 14, 2013 at 12:33 am #2024708

Same as others said: I have converted to Icebreaker t-shirts and underwear. Practically no smell in worst conditions. Outer layers do start to stink in prolonged wet conditions, but wool stays practically odorless.
The wool (150 weight by Icebreaker) is still quite a bit warmer than standard synthetic t-shirts. I wish there were available even thinner merino t-shirts for desert conditions.
On a related note, what are the odor control solutions for socks and shoes? Out of the last 3 trips twice I had gotten into the situation when my feet were wet for over a day and after that stink got out of control.Sep 14, 2013 at 3:07 am #2024712

I own a few icebreaker tech-t lite shirts and wear them year round.
The Rab MeCo is a wool-cocona blend that is even lighter and still does a good job at keeping the stink away.Sep 14, 2013 at 7:39 am #2024722

+1 on the Icebreaker T shirt. One of the best pieces of outdoor clothing I have. I always wear mine as the first layer, and I've worn it for 6-7 days straight. No stink, and It's held up great.Sep 14, 2013 at 7:53 am #2024724

I use capilene 2 tops now, and they do not stink nearly as bad after a couple sweaty days as other polyester shirts I've worn. They are treated with Patagonia's "polygiene" permanent odor control. No clue what that actually is, but it appears to be working. :) Also I find they cool you off well when wet, and FWIW cap 2 is marginally lighter than cap 1. But cap1 has a higher UPF (50 vs 20).
I've found that wool makes me itchy. :(Sep 14, 2013 at 1:22 pm #2024758

Wool, even in its lightest forms, is much too hot for me. I have tried 150g and 120g wool and they smoke me out. They do work extremely well at odor control however. I've learned to live with the smell of synthetics for hiking purposes, but will try some of the blends eventually. I think there is the perfect shirt out there somewhere.
RyanSep 14, 2013 at 6:55 pm #2024806
Yah, Rab MeCo is pretty good stuff too, but also still too hot for me where i live.
Earlier i said that i don't think i've seen any Linen t-shirts before..well turns out i wasn't looking hard enough. I just did a search on ebay and found a number of pure and blended Linen t-shirts. (i'm tempted to get one myself, but having so many linen button up shirts, i feel like it might be excessive).
There are actually some great deals going on there now. I really recommend trying a cheap shirt, you may be surprised how cooling/cool and stink resistant the stuff is. If the stuff is a bit rough feeling at first, you can speed up the softening washing and then by drying in a dryer on medium heat (a few times). Normally i wouldn't recommend drying Linen shirts in a dryer because it makes it look extremely wrinkly and it does shrink a bit (a little more than a non-preshrunk cotton tee), but i've noticed it does soften up the material faster.
However, good quality linen stuff usually starts off soft enough to begin with. Anyways, it's much better for hot weather backpacking than merino (ime), and much longer lasting (it's tensile strength is at least 3x higher than wools) with quite good stink control (rivals wool). If you ever happen to see any linen-nylon blends, please let me know. Pure linen can be a bit heavy, but i imagine the t-shirt versions will be lighter than my button up shirts.Sep 14, 2013 at 6:57 pm #2024807

related to what i wrote at the end of my last post. Regarding weights, here is a list of the specific gravity of different fibers.
Acetate= 1.33
Camel hair=1.31
Silk Weighted= >1.60
Silk – B. Mori (raw)= 1.33
Silk Tussah=1.32
Wool= 1.31
Note that Linen's specific gravity measurement is 1.5 and cotton's is 1.54, so all other things being equal, a linen t-shirt will be very slightly lighter than a cotton one, but a bit heavier than a polyester or wool t-shirt.
Polypro is not on that list for some reason, but from memory, it's measurement is something crazy like .90. However, definitely don't want to use that for hot weather stuff!Sep 14, 2013 at 10:41 pm #2024845

Our summers and then typhoon season are also very (very) warm. Combined with the high humidity it can be quite challenging to do more high output trekking.
I can't stand wool. I've tried a lot of Merino wool garments but I guess my skin and wool are just not good friends.
My thinnest/coolest shirt up till recently has always been Capilene 1, but I do think it starts to stink pretty quickly. After one/two seasons I have to throw it out (bear in mind this is with weekly hikes resulting in drenched shirts after one hour into a 6~10 hour hike).
I bought a long sleeve Montura Run Zip Maglia shirt before this summer and I'm very impressed. It is thinner than Capilene 1, more breathable, cooler, and has a 1/2 zip to ventilate more. It has UPF50 and doesn't stink as much either. It was expensive but I'm going to buy another one very soon because it is all I ever hike in from May to October.
Might be interesting to check out.Sep 15, 2013 at 9:06 am #2024870

Simply doesnt bother me.
You dont tend to smell yourself really.
I prefer the lightest weight synthetic I can find. Fastest drying and least moisture absorption is more important to me, than least smelly. Especially in humid SE where things dont dry very fast, if at all.
In NM or CO, anything is totally dry in 30 min, and the more water it holds, the cooler it feels while drying. Out there you dont even need short sleeves, can wear long sleeves for sun protection and be comfortable even on hottest days due to low humidity.Sep 15, 2013 at 9:21 am #2024872

My two go to shirts for hot weather are a patagonia silckweight merino and a patagonia air flow t-shirt. The air flow might be more in line with what you are looking for … super breathable and dries quick. It is pretty good for stink for a poly shirt.
THe merino is a wool poly blend which allows for a thiner cooler fabric then pure wool. I haven't had an issue with itch.
I also have a mountain hardware poly t shirts I got off steep and cheap that has a bike jersey style chest vent which works pretty well.Sep 15, 2013 at 12:45 pm #2024914

IMO, there's a time and a place for each of the options. I like my OR Echo T shirts and my Icebreaker 150s enough that I wear 'em sometimes even when I'm not on the trail (as cycling base layers or even just around the house or around town), but for the hot,dry conditions you describe, my number one would be light, tightly woven cotton.
It won't insulate when wet, but that's not what I brought it to do (it can even be considered a virtue, in hot, dry conditions). Here's what it is:
Cheaper than wool or the really good poly.
Lighter, cooler, faster-drying and easier to launder than 150 wool.
Much less stinky than any synthetic.
More durable than wool or the really light poly that I might choose for its other virtues.

For the more experienced weavers we can explore blending colours and using different types of yarn.
I can provide workshops for individuals or for small groups – 5 max
I am tapestry weaver who focuses on using natural fibres and I take my inspiration
from the landscape around me, architecture and history. My loom is an upright
scaffold loom which gives a lot of freedom when weaving. Photography is a key element to my research for projects.
Last year I was awarded the Theo Moorman Trust for Weavers Award, SW Craft Makers Award and an Arts Trust Scotland Award. I have had my weavings exhibited in a range of galleries and shops.
I am a member of the British Tapestry Group, Creative Scotland and the Spinners, Weavers, Dyers Guild.

By Chris Harris
Why are Manchester United storming towards another Premier League title? Because while their rivals get stuck in a rut, the champions only suffer blips.
Sir Alex Ferguson's men have lost four times this season but, on each occasion, they have bounced back immediately. Since their last defeat - in the Manchester derby - United have reeled off six wins and a draw. Compare that to Arsenal, who were five points clear when they arrived at Birmingham in late February. Their response to the body-blow of a last-gasp equaliser? One win in six League games.
That's why United will have a six-point cushion on Arsenal when the teams meet at Old Trafford on Sunday and why anything but an away win will almost certainly extinguish the Gunners' title challenge.
We spoke to Stuart Mathieson of the Manchester Evening News to see how United are shaping up ahead of the big game. Read on for his views on United's unsung heroes, the surprising impact of Ferguson's new signings, the injury situation ahead of the Arsenal clash and why he thinks Arsène Wenger's side will be there or thereabouts next season.
"There's no reason to believe that they won't go on and win it. I did say before the Middlesborough game that United didn't look like they had a hiccup in them, something that would trip them up like when they lost against Manchester City, West Ham and Bolton this season. I was proved wrong against Boro, that's always a tough game, but I just think they are in the zone now. OK, they might drop a point here and there, but I don't think it will be enough for anyone to catch up now.
"What makes them so hard to catch is that they never follow up a defeat with a defeat, certainly not this season. They might have a blip but they come back very, very strongly and always manage to put together something. The wounds are repaired very quickly unlike Arsenal this season. Their wound has stayed open for too long and teams can inflict further damage. United don't seem to have that in their make-up, they recover so quickly from set-backs."
"The unsung heroes are the defence, although people are singing about them more now. The players who have attracted the plaudits are Ronaldo and Rooney but that's on the back of a defence which gives them the confidence to attack the way they do. Van der Sar, Brown, Ferdinand, Vidic and Evra have been the mainstays of that rearguard this season and they are heading for club records of fewest goals conceded in a season. When Peter Schmeichel inspired United in 1994 they only conceded 26, the record for clean sheets is up for grabs too. It's no coincidence that the forwards have that licence when the rearguard is pretty much in command all the time."
"Anderson and Nani only arrived last summer but they have contributed. When he bought them Ferguson said they were for the future, he probably expected to use them a little this season but perhaps not as much as he has done. Nani has scored some great goals but Anderson has been the one. He had a broken leg for Porto last season and I'm sure the manager thought there was a bit of a risk there. But Anderson has been the biggest plus in terms of the summer buys."
"Vidic is expected back for Blackburn, Ferdinand picked up an injury at Boro and I was surprised to see him play against Roma. He had three stitches in his foot against Roma on Wednesday night so he must be a little bit doubtful. Evra got a buffeting at Middlesbrough and missed the Champions League game, presumably with a few bruises. He might be a doubt but everybody else - apart from Louis Saha - is OK. United even got 10 minutes out of Gary Neville last night and, incredibly, a full game out of Mikel Silvestre, who has been out since September."
"You would think that Arsenal's 4-0 defeat in the FA Cup at Old Trafford could have some sort of bearing on Sunday's game. Everything has conspired against Arsenal since then, that game was a real season-turner in many ways. It clearly had an impact on their League form and now they are coming into this game on the back of a fantastic game at Anfield, but they were the losers and you don't know how that will affect them. It's make-or-break for them, if they lose this one they can say goodbye to everything. They have to be up for it and, although footballers are reluctant to talk of revenge, there has to be a feeling of that from the Cup game. It really is a big one for Arsenal.
"As far as title contenders for next season, you can't look beyond the same four. Liverpool have had another disappointing season in the League, you wonder whether they are just going to be European candidates. Chelsea I can't see changing and Arsenal, apart from United, are the one team who have been very pleasing on the eye this season. They are a young side, sadly for them they have run out of steam. But with the experience of this season and perhaps a few signings in the summer, I am convinced they will be there again and perhaps will take it even closer next season in every competition.Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

I have to admit I wasn't expecting much, the whole site looks... low quality, especially the product editor which is insanely blurry. But found the pdf button and it looked good, so went ahead and ordered a low amount. I designed a lot of it on adobe illustrator so thought those files may be too large, but site imported those nicely. Have order another huge amount of flyers since!

Box Score (PDF)
HONOLULU, Hawaii – The University of Hawaii baseball team scored three runs in the bottom of the ninth inning to hand UAB a 5-4 loss on Thursday night.
"It was a great game, a great college game," head coach Brian Shoop said. "It was fun to watch. It was tightly contested. It came down to the last hitter. You have to give credit to the Hawaii kids for hanging in there until the end."
Senior right-handed pitcher Chase Mallard kept his solid start to the 2014 alive, recording his sixth quality start in his sixth start of the year. Mallard went 7.0 innings; allowed two runs; one earned, scattered four hits; and struck out four. The Cullman, Ala. native did not factor into the decision.
"It was amazing," commented Shoop. "He pitched good enough to win again."
UAB (16-6, 4-2) got on the board early, tallying a run in the top of the second inning. Junior first baseman led off the frame with a single through the right side of the infield, then advanced to second after sophomore infielder Evan Peterson hit a sacrifice bunt. Sophomore catcher Mitch Williams crushed a double to deep right center field, scoring Schalk.
Hawaii (10-11, 0-0) knotted things up in the sixth inning. Rainbow Warriors senior outfielder Adam Hurley reached on a fielding error by UAB infielder Matt Morse, to start things off for the host team. After advancing to second after a Hawaii groundout, UH senior infielder Austin Wobrock hit a single up the middle to plate Hurley.
The host-Rainbow Warriors pulled ahead in the seventh inning. With two outs and no men on, senior first baseman Marc Flores hit a fly ball to right field off Mallard. The ball just cleared the right field fence, giving Hawaii its first lead of the contest, 2-1.
UAB immediately responded in the top of the eighth inning. Schalk started things off with a double over the centerfielder's head. Peterson then grounded out to the catcher, but advanced Schalk to third. Williams walked to put runners on first and third. Junior infielder Nathan Vincent came in as pinch hitter, popping out. Sophomore outfielder Adam Lau filled in as a pinch hitter, as well, and blasted a three-run blast to left field, giving UAB a 4-2 advantage.
"At this place, it is almost impossible to hit a home run to left field," added Shoop. "It was a great moment for him and I was very excited for him. I hoped that would be enough to stand up and get the win, but not quite."
Freshman left-handed pitcher Thomas Lowery filled in for Mallard in the eighth inning. Lowery hit the first batter he saw, then struck out two and forced a ground out to end the eighth. In the ninth inning, Lowery allowed one run on two hits and a walk, before being replaced by sophomore right-handed pitcher Cory Eller.
Eller inherited runners on first and second with one out. The first batter he faced, sophomore outfielder Juliene Jones, hit a ground ball to Vincent at third. Vincent looked to turn the double play, but the Blazers could only get one out. Hawaii's Hurley then hit an RBI single to tie the game. Two batters later, Wobrock hit an infield single, allowing the Rainbow Warriors to walk off with the 5-4 win.
The four-game series at Hawaii continues on Friday night. First pitch is slated for 11:35 p.m. CT in Honolulu.
Notes: Sophomore outfielder Adam Lau hit a pinch-hit home run in the seventh inning, his first home run of his collegiate career … Senior right-handed pitcher Chase Mallard recorded his sixth quality start in his sixth start of 2014 … Mallard is one strikeout shy of ninth place on the UAB career strikeouts list … Junior first baseman Jeff Schalk extended his hitting streak to five games.

st: dropped observations in bootstrap
Sat, 6 Oct 2007 23:07:41 -0700
Hello, I'd appreciate some guidance on this problem.
I'm running a weighted Cox regression within a bootstrap program.
If I conduct the analysis program, step by step outside the bootstrap it runs just fine.
However, when I conduct the exact same analysis within the bootstrap program, I get the error message:
"Bootstrap replications (50)
----+--- 1 ---+--- 2 ---+--- 3 ---+--- 4 ---+--- 5
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 50
insufficient observations to compute bootstrap standard errors
no results will be saved
What I'd like to learn is: how can I discover what happened to those observations during the bootstrap program? Note that these observations are not dropped during the manual analysis outside the bootstrap program.
I've illustrated my code below, using an adapted version of Stata's system data file cancer.dta.
Note: PART 1 I'm simply setting up cancer.dta for my analysis. My code in question is PART 2 below.

This review is from: eForCity Black Skin/Red Hard Hybrid Case with Stand + Black Car Charger (Micro USB) + Black USB Data/Charging Cable (Micro USB) Bundle Compatible With Samsung© Galaxy Note LTE SGH-i717
Pretty good quality and very durable, will protect this phone quite well. Excellent value.
Picture is misleading, looks as though there are 2 cell phone holders when in fact there is only one. Also the kick stand on the back of the hard case does not seat back into the slot very well. Has to be bent into place.

A Real Talk College Guide for Women
In preparing to interview Julie Zeilinger about her new book, "College 101: A Girl's Guide to Freshman Year", I asked some female friends of mine, all in our twenties and thirties, what, if any, books they'd been given in preparation to go to college. The answers included "What Color is Your Parachute?", "Chicken Soup for the College Soul", and "Oh, The Places You'll Go"
In this small sample, none of the women I knew had read anything about the specific experience of being a woman in college before they went. Zeilinger's book takes the opposite tack. You won't find another book about going to college that also contains a smack down on slut shaming, bro culture and the specter of the "freshman 15."
Zeilinger is a member of the Barnard College Class of 2015. She is the founder and editor of The FBomb a feminist blog and community for teens and young adults. She is also the author of 2012's "A Little F'd Up: Why Feminism Is Not A Dirty Word." (Julie has been named one of Newsweek's "150 Women Who Shake The World", one of the "Eight most influential bloggers under 21" by Women's Day Magazine, one of More Magazine's "New Feminists You Need To Know," and one of the London Times' "40 Bloggers Who Really Count." Follow her on twitter @juliezeilinger and for more information visit www.juliezeilinger.com.
Chanel Dubofsky: What made you want to write this book?
Julie Zeilinger: This is the book I wish I'd had. When I left for college, I thought I was headed to the center of enlightened thought, where everyone would understand me. I feel privileged and lucky to be where I am, but there was a lot of difficulty in adjusting. All of a sudden, you're on your own, and there are a lot of responsibilities, pervasive realities that I personally felt completely unprepared for or aware of. For example, in regard to student debt, young women are signing into these contracts and it's assumed that they'll do research, that everyone does this, so it will work. I wanted to arm women with practical information, not platitudes and vagueness. What can they actually do?
When my parents read this book, they said, "Wow, college has changed a lot since we were there!" I would encourage parents, especially mothers, to read this, to know what your kid is going to face.
In the book, you address issues of sexual assault on campus. While this has been in the news a lot lately, we know that it's not a new thing. What are you seeing on campus?
At Columbia, there's been activism around sexual assault. We've begun to put pressure on the administration about reporting rape and sexual assault — they claim it's not happening, that no one has reported it and we know that's not possible. Knowyournine.org is an organization I'm involved in that educates college students about their rights under Title IX. It's part of a growing movement for transparency, to pressure college administrations to live up to the legalities in Title IX.
Your first book, "A Little F'ed Up", is about debunking the myths around feminism and making it accessible. Do you see this book as having a relationship to the first one?
This book is feminist, of course, because I'm a feminist. Everything is approached from an analytical perspective and with an awareness of gender. Similar topics are covered in both books, themes are carried over — hooking up, body image. In all the college guides I read, there was always a section on the freshman 15 and it was always body-shaming centric. They're alike just in terms of the work that I do, consciousness raising among young women, saying, "Here is this thing called feminism, it can make our lives better." We'd be better off if we could share our struggles, we need to be more open and honest about all aspects of our lives and fight this perfectionist standard that tells us our lives have to look easy all the time.
Where are you in this whole "women having it all" business, and does that figure into this book?
If we want to enter that debate, the prep for it needs to start in college — student debt, time management. We need to demand more from our partners, men need to be more vocal. This can't be all on women. We shouldn't be trying to have it all, we should be trying to have what we want and need. That's also part of college — exploring who you are, what drives you. Make that the center.

Season Extension of Vegetable and Small Fruit Crops in West Virginia
By Lewis W. Jett, WVU Extension Service commercial horticulture specialist
Extending the traditional growing season has many advantages for produce growers and market gardeners in West Virginia. Earlier harvesting often secures a higher market price for produce and overall higher net farm income. Oversupply of produce typically drives prices downward, but off-season production enables growers to enter the market well before the market becomes glutted or after most supply has been sold.
By establishing the planting earlier, there is a potential for reduced insect and disease pressure for many crops. Many pests often become a problem as the season progresses and temperatures get warmer. Establishing a crop in the off-season makes it possible to avoid many pest outbreaks.
Methods of Season Extension
There are several ways to extend the traditional growing season in West Virginia. Using transplants instead of direct seeding will often result in an earlier harvest for most vegetable crops. Most vegetables can be transplanted. Even vegetables that are never traditionally established by transplants (including beets, peas, and sweet corn) can be transplanted if the right type of container is used. Transplant age can have a significant effect on date of first harvest. If grown in a large transplant container (> 4" diameter), tomatoes and peppers can be established as 8- to 10-week-old transplants, which will reduce the time to first harvest (Figure 1).
When using transplants, it is important to start with quality seed. Small, irregular seed, such as carrots, lettuce, and tomatoes, can be purchased as pellet seed, which has a clay coating that makes the seed round and easier to seed by hand in the transplant container. Usually one or two seeds are planted in each container or cell. The most vigorous seedling is kept by thinning when the first true leaves appear on the seeding.
Many transplants can be conditioned for transplanting in the open environment by "hardening" them off, which usually means placing them outside for a couple hours each day about two weeks before transplanting to get some wind and slightly lower temperatures on the plant.
|Figure 1. Healthy transplants result in earlier, uniform harvest.
Raised Bed Culture
Raised beds, in which the soil is ridged or listed to form an elevated growing area, can significantly improve crop growth. Raised beds are typically 8 to 16 inches in height and may be framed with boards or posts to a width of 36 to 48 inches (Figure 2). The framed, raised bed can be filled with topsoil or other organic material (compost) to create an ideal growing medium for many vegetable and small fruit crops.
Raised beds are an excellent way to create a new soil that may be loose and friable for root crops such as potatoes, carrots, and beets. Soil in raised beds will be warmer than flat soil since more of the soil surface is exposed to sunlight. Because the loose soil increases drainage, the crop will have to be irrigated more frequently. With raised beds, a drip irrigation tube or soaker hose will be needed to water the crops.
|Figure 2. Raised beds accelerate plant growth.
Drip Irrigation
Irrigation is the most important investment for growing vegetables and fruits in West Virginia. Unpredictable rainfall often creates periods of too much or too little water. Each scenario can be devastating for vegetable and fruit crops, depending on the season. Yield and quality of most vegetable and small fruit crops are determined by even application of water through the growing season.
Drip irrigation is a system in which water is slowly applied to the root zone of the crop through small dripper hoses (Figure 3). With water applied directly to the root zone, the foliage does not become wet. Using drip irrigation results in less water being lost from evaporation, and diseases (many of which require free water on the leaf surface) will be less of a problem. Drip irrigation reduces overall water use compared with most other ways of watering crops. Small drip irrigation kits can be purchased for irrigating areas as small as a garden.
Figure 3. Drip irrigation conserves water and results in even growth of crops.
Fertigation is the technique in which fertilizer is applied through the irrigation system. Many fertilizer sources can be dissolved in water and injected directly into the water lines during irrigation. Fertigation applies nutrients to the plants evenly throughout the growing season and results in a significant reduction in fertilizer usage compared with applying most of the nutrients before planting.
Row Covers
Row covers are an indispensable tool for season extension. Row covers are lightweight, fabric materials that can be placed over the crop (floating) or suspended above the crop on wire hoops or frames. The row covers trap solar heat that builds up during the day and keeps the temperature from becoming too low around the crop.
Row covers come in a variety of types. Lightweight fabric (<0. 5 oz/yd2), which is an insect barrier or screen, can be used to prevent harmful insects from feeding on vegetable and fruit crops. Medium weight (0. 5-1. 0 oz/yard2) fabric will provide about 4�F frost protection with 85% light transmission. Heavy weight row covers (> 1 oz/yd2) will provide winter freeze protection for many crops that are over-wintered in cold frames, low tunnels, and high tunnels in West Virginia. When used within a high tunnel, row covers can be twice as effective as when they are used in the open field. Row covers can be recycled, and after use, they can be simply folded and placed in a storage shed until next year.
Low Tunnels
Low tunnels are actually "mini-greenhouses." They are usually 18 to 48 inches in height, 2 to 6 feet in width, and of varying lengths (Figure 4). The hoops or bows can be plastic pipe (PVC), wire (9 ga.), or aluminum conduit (EMT). Row cover or clear plastic can be placed over the hoops to protect the growing crops from rain, wind, and wildlife as well as to increase the temperature of the air and soil surrounding the crop. Low tunnels are very useful when used for relatively low-growing crops such as salad greens and other cool-season crops that can be overwintered. Low tunnels can be used for early season protection of tender crops, such as peppers, melons, squash, tomatoes, and beans.
Low tunnels are relatively inexpensive to construct and, if used properly, can accomplish almost as much season extension as a high tunnel. When used in combination with a high tunnel, low tunnels are extremely effective in extending the season.
|Figure 4. Low tunnels can significantly accelerate harvest of many crops.
High Tunnels
One of the most effective tools for extending the traditional growing season is called a high tunnel or hoop house. A high tunnel is a plastic-covered structure that traps solar energy to increase air and soil temperature, giving the grower the opportunity to plant and harvest earlier or later in the year (Figure 5). Crops are grown directly in the soil under the high tunnel and are irrigated as needed through drip tubing or soaker hoses. The high tunnel protects the plants from intense rain, snow, wind, and hail as well as harmful insects, wildlife, and diseases that can reduce yields over the course of the growing season.
High tunnels can be constructed from a variety of materials such as steel pipes or plastic tubing. The size depends on the amount and type of vegetables or fruits grown. A high tunnel can be used to grow just one vegetable (tomatoes) or a combination of fruits and vegetables as a mixed cropping system. High tunnels can be stationary or moved to different sections of the field or garden to give a crop an early start. Many vegetables and fruits can be intercropped within the high tunnel, and approximately three crops per calendar yield can be harvested. Most crops grown using high tunnels are ready to be harvested four to five weeks earlier (or later) than crops grown in an open field or garden, which can significantly lengthen the farmers market season in West Virginia.
Figure 5. High tunnels are low-cost greenhouse structures that accelerate crop growth.

New York Timesbestselling author-illustrator Kevin Henkes delivers this lovable modern classic about a kitten who mistakes the full moon for milk.
Illustrated black-and-white (and in a remarkably different style from previous Henkes favorites like Wemberly Worried and Lilly's Purple Plastic Purse), this picture book follows Kitten as she attempts to get a sweet drink of that "little bowl of milk in the sky." As the moon glows overhead, Kitten first sticks out her tongue for a lick but gets a mouth full of firefly; tries leaping at the moon, only to take a tumble down the porch stairs; and then chases it, of course to no avail. But after climbing a tree gets her soaking wet, Kitten trots back home and finds a lucky surprise "just waiting for her."
Brilliant in its simplicity, Kitten's quiet little adventure is a perfect picture book that kids will eagerly lap up. The author's breathtaking gouache and shaded pencil artwork (with its thick black lines and masterful use of grays and white space) casts a nighttime coolness on the illustrations -- which, paired with easy text, results in a real warmhearted winner with a retro feel. Without a doubt, Kitten's debut is a must-have for every bookshelf. Matt Warner

Is There Any Non-surgical Method for Lip Reduction Correction? If Not, What Are My Options?
Doctor Answers 2
Surgery Is Needed For Lip Reduction
There are no non-surgical lip reduction methods. A properly done lip reduction with the excision placed at the wet-dry vermilion junction can be both effective and look natural.

Nuts and bolts: Cappy, left, and Rodney, voiced by Halle Berry and Ewan McGregor in Robots.
This rollicking family movie is a lot of fun, but Paul Byrnes can't help feeling he's met some of those tin men before.
Directed by Chris Wedge and Carlos Saldanha
Written by Lowell Ganz and Babaloo Mandel; story by Jim McClain and Ron Mita
Rated G
Cinemas everywhere
Movies have always stolen from each other, but Robots is like a bolted-together
museum of all the metal men and women in movies. It's a computer-generated animation for kids from the team behind Ice Age, and it's fun if you don't mind frequent earthy jokes and a deeply derivative heart.
Rodney Copperbottom, a young and idealistic robot from Rivet Town, voiced by Ewan McGregor, looks like Astro Boy, but he's made of metal, with the rounded edges of a 1950s American home appliance. He goes to Robot City, a gleaming future city of steel and glass, seeking an audience with the boss, a roly-poly inventor called Bigweld (voiced by Mel Brooks). Bigweld is like the Wizard of Oz, wildly eccentric
and less powerful than he seems (and the Tin Man from Oz makes an appearance, in case we miss the connection).
Rodney gets help from Cappy, a beautiful robot (voiced by Halle Berry) who looks like she's modelled on the famous female robot in Metropolis. He falls in with a scrap-iron misfit called Fender (Robin Williams) - who seems to have multiple personalities and a bipolar disorder - and his friends the Rusties, a collection of rag-tag "Outmodes", or superseded models. They are like the gang from Toy Story, but with less screen time and less attention to characterisation. The villains of the story are a shiny metal man called Ratchet (Greg Kinnear), who now controls the Bigweld empire, and his fire-breathing mother, Madame Gasket (voiced by Jim Broadbent, so she sounds like a man). She controls the underworld, where old robots are fed into the fiery maw of the blast furnace from hell - more echoes of Metropolis.
The film was made by Blue Sky Studios for 20th Century Fox, owners of (some of) the rights to Star Wars, and that's the film series it plunders (with permission). Many of the other borrowings are in the nature of "homage". These are the ones the filmmakers want you to get; there are others they hope you won't. The former are guided by affection for what's gone before; the latter by more ruthless commercial considerations of what has sold before. These are buried deep in the film's assumptions about story, setting and character.
The emulation of the look of Star Wars, combined with the Toy Story-like characters, is an example of the latter.
One of the tragedies of current films for children is that we have become used to this packaged unoriginality. Indeed, we now accept it as a form of postmodernity: a text is made up of other texts, and it will do for kids, because they won't know the difference. The fact that they're seeing it with new eyes has become the excuse for filmmakers not to have to. Of course, it's not so different in films for adults, but adults are better able to distinguish between originals and fakes.
This cloning is what Pixar, makers of A Bug's Life, Toy Story, Monsters Inc, Finding Nemo and The Incredibles, has generally refused to do. It has not given up on originality, which is why everyone's trying to copy it (and why most have failed). Robots makes no such claims - it turns its lack of originality into a guiding aesthetic.
In a world of robots, the idea of originality is a non sequitur, anyway. They're all made up of standard parts, after all. Ratchet's plan to make even more money for the Bigweld corporation is to outlaw spare parts. That way, robots will have to buy shiny new upgrades at vast cost. (The dig at Bill Gates and Microsoft is funny, but ironic, given that Rupert Murdoch owns Fox).
Derivative as it may be, Robots is nevertheless richly designed and beautifully executed. The computer-generated work is wonderfully detailed and the script has an inventive sense of humour.
At one point Rodney is scooped up by an evil street-sweeping machine: you barely have time to notice that the inside of the door is covered in scratch marks, from previous robots trying to get out. The humour does get a bit knowing though, which dents the sense of innocence.
Early in the film, Rodney's parents receive a special delivery - a box of parts that will become their new baby. They have to put it together. "Making the baby is the fun part," says Mrs Copperbottom (Dianne Wiest), as sweet as can be. The line sails over the heads of the little ones in the audience. There are lots more like that, a few of which are just plain smutty.
The main problem of the film is its uneven pace. It veers abruptly from manic to slow. Lots of scenes work perfectly in themselves, in the moment, but they don't fit together. It's like watching a set of trailers, laid end to end. You may enjoy each piece as it passes, but feel disengaged from any sense of overall drama. Think of how Toy Story was propelled by a sense of jeopardy and wonder. That's what's missing from Robots. It settles for antics.

China's revised consumer rights protection law 'raises the bar' for both 'bricks and mortar' retailers and online retailers - .PDF file.
By Richard W Wigley
China is now believed to be the world's largest online marketplace, as well as quickly gaining on the US as the country with the largest overall retail marketplace. This growing retail marketplace, both for traditional 'bricks and mortar' retailers as well as online retailers, presents both great opportunities and challenges. Chinese consumers are becoming increasingly demanding in terms of product quality, as well as increasingly transitioning from being traditional 'bricks and mortar' retail consumers to online shoppers. These consumers have demanded certain protections when making purchases and, as expected, have often resorted to administrative authorities or the Chinese judicial system to seek protections of their rights, as well as compensation where appropriate.
In response to this changing consumer retail landscape, the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress recently promulgated a revision to the Consumer Rights Protection Law of the People's Republic of China, where the revision is to become effective on 15 March 2014. While the revision affords additional protections to Chinese consumers, the focus of this analysis is upon how the revision, in effect, 'raises the bar' on retailers in China, in terms of their new or revised statutory obligations under the revision, as well as potential increased liabilities should they be found to be offering products or services of inferior quality. Specific provisions of interest shall be examined, as follows…

Burbank Wedding In January
"Beautiful location for a ceremony as it looks over the mountains."
1250 East Harvard Road Burbank Ca Wedding In November
"The Castaway was very accommodating, gorgeous, and the food was great! Our guest are still raving about our venue till this day. When they hear how much we spent their jaws drop to the floor! We only had one complaint, their was an event before ours and that gave my planner very little time to set up...we had to delay the wedding because of it, and I had a day of wedding coordinator, her assistant, and two others helping to set up, so you know that the time was rushed here! Other than that it was a spectacular place to get married and the views are amazing!"
Claudia and Tim's Wedding
"Staff at the Castaway were TREMENDOUS!! They do so many weddings there that they have it down. The food was VERY DELICIOUS and plenty of it! They provided us the best bang for our buck price wise, and everyone was so helpful. We could not have asked for a better "Partner" in planning our day with us."
Los Angeles Wedding In May
Allyson and Emmery's Wedding
"I had heard negative comments about the food at Castaway, but it was amazing and all the guests agreed! The Gardens were so beautiful and the staff went above and beyond! The price was also very affordable compared to other outdoor venues in Burbank. They also were willing to negotiate, which saved me a ton of money."
Jenna and Jeff's Wedding
"Rehearsal Dinner"
Our Wedding
"Go at night for spectacular views of the entire LA valley from the outdoor terrace of this hilltop restaurant. You can order cocktails and appetizers, or just have coffee."

"The Castaway was the perfect location for our Burbank/North Hollywood wedding. The reception site was put together with such elegance and the staff was completely attentive and responsive to our needs. Our package was a bit pricey but it was all worth the delicious buffet we offered our guests.

Data privacy day 2009
Yesterday was Data privacy day 2009. Well apparently not in South Africa it wasn't but it was in the United States, Canada and 27 European countries. The purpose of the day is to educate and make users aware of the best way to protect their information online.
With 55 percent of online American teens between 12 and 17 using social networks (this figure sounds low to me), the day is aimed at getting teens talking and thinking critically about privacy. The hope is that as the innovators and creative users of technology, teens can be the first and best protectors of their privacy online.
Have a look a look here and here for some top data privacy tips and read more about Data privacy day 2009 here.


text: Today while I was driving a heard an onstar commercial about how they alert police and fire services in the event of an accident. It got me thinking. My 2003 Yukon XL had 10 month of onstar service left when I bought it. When I was in the accident that totaled that truck onstar did not do anything. (yes, there was airbag deployment) No call, nothing. Then I realized that my battery had been split in two and the positive cable blew right off the battery. No Power=No onstar. I find it sort of dumb that something that is meant to get help to you in the case of an emergency does not work if the battery is damaged. Especially when many if not most GM vehicles have the battery located in one of the front corners. Why do they not have some sort of battery backup? Not a huge 12v car battery, just a cell phone size battery? I understand cost of putting them in during the manufacture process and the added cost of the owner having to replace them every few years. But, come on! Who the heck designed something that is dependent on one of the first things damaged in a substantial frontal collision? An even better question is who approved said design for production? I'm done with my rant now. Thanks for reading
