And why is it raining so?
It's so cold
Winter is still with us after sunny April! Freezing yesterday when helping at track and field. Guess the weather is similar in NZ!
What: something later
Why: having to take each day as it comes as calf is very unpredicatable. Last few days have been 20 to 30 mins slooow on the whole
Last hard: Can't remember
Last rest: some time ago now
Enjoy the day
Wet and windy up here
Rest day, but been out in garden a few times !
Weather doesn't lookk great today and tomorrow peps.
have a good one.
Yesterday's ;lyrics - Why Do I Keep Counting? by The Killers
Blowing a right hooley here too - managed an hour out on the bike by getting out early before it really picked up but was holding on for grim death and riding at a bout a 45 degree angle to stay upright by the end - glad to get back. Will hopefully get out for a little run later too.
Race well Paddy.
birkmyre - did Geordie get you up in the night?
250 miles is a long way to drive for a TT Gobi.
Lyrics - yup - one of my favourite bands.
Went out to do 16 miles at 7:30 this morning - my left calf got sorer and sorer as the run went on - never having problems with it before, I just kept running even though something in the back of mind was reminding me that other runners I know have calf problems and they sometimes just go "pop".
At 9.74 miles, that's kind of what happened. I certainly couldnt run at that point as the whole muscle just seemed to seize up. But I think I got lucky cause I stopped, stretched and walked for a good half mile before resuming very slow jogging and I managed to run the last mile relatively pain free. Completed 13.1 miles in about 1:52 with the last 3 taking well over half an hour!
Is this a common problem with anyone on here? Any advice?
Donj: seems exactly the sort of thing I have been experiencing...and some days its there and some its not...or I run OK but seize up soon after. If I remember you have had an achilles problem before: not unrelated, perhaps. Have you been maintaining the stretches that cured that problem? (And can you remind me what stretch it was?!)
Was due to watch some cricket this afternoon, but it is pouring and blowing a gale. Will run when it stops!
Paddy: that result is fine!
Donj: didn't go to cricket...too cold, wet and windy for spectators (although they are playing). We need to remind one another, and Paddy, to do those calf stretches at least twice a day!
Ran 25 mins with a few quicker parts in the second half: cold and wet and wore gloves. Summer is definitely here.
7/8 seems a good result Paddy
What - 11.25m
Why - Mid distance run
Last hard - yesterday
Last rest - Fri
Off to Nottingham again for the week..... so more running along the Beeston Canal and Trent.
Paddy - if it was anything like here that wind was fierce ands would have cost you a lot of time.
Donj - hope you can sort the calf asap.
Waited for the wind to drop a little and made it out for an hours run, daren't risk the cliff path though - stuck to an out and back along the old railway line. Uphill and tailwind on the way out so downhill and headwind for the way back - best way it could be I guess.
Great stuuf - congrats on the prize!
What: Just under 14 miles, Exmouth along the estuary, through Exeter & back home
Why: Long run
Last hard: 4 days
Last rest: 1 day
Lyrics: No
Rained hard briefly on the journey to Exmouth, bur otherwise just imto a stiff breeze most of the time. Nice & sunny, with some great views. Hill up to home a bit tough at the end though. A run to do again, or possibly along the West side next time? Bit of research required methinks...
NZC: great! What wind and rain, indeed?!
Tom: few calf problems at the moment, but have backed off rather in the past week, not least because I have felt under the weather...I blame last Sunday's 6 hour marshalling stint. I am also snowed under with work: I am marking national tests as well as working most days. Will only be working 3 half days this week though, but have a marking deadline of next Saturday for the first batch of scripts. It may, indeed, be the last: I am not in the least motivated by these, not even by the pittance I get paid. In running terms I am not particularly motivated either at the moment, but I am on autopilot in terms of running everyday. There is no question whether I will run, it is just a case of when. Unfortunately it is not so much a cse of "what" at the moment: oh to be niggle free.
Apparently I missed a cracking cricket match today: my choice because of the weather, and an even better one yesterday: my choice to earn money marking. Two wrongs don't make a right!
Lyrics today were: "Why does it always rain on me?", Travis.

West Ham fans will be closer to the pitch than first feared if, as is expected, the east London club are confirmed as the anchor tenants for the Olympic Stadium.
London Mayor Boris Johnson's priority when he returns from India this week is to chair the London Legacy Development Corporation board's meeting next Wednesday, which is likely to decide that West Ham will move to their new Stratford base, probably at the start of the 2016-17 season.
West Ham supporters' big concern about moving from their compact Upton Park ground to Stratford was that they would be too far away from the action.
Johnson's plan, though, would see fully retractable seats, similar to those at the Stade de France in Paris, installed over the running track at the stadium which would bring the fans closer to the pitch. A final decision, expected to be announced early in the new year, involves spending an extra £160million to convert the stadium (above), taking the overall cost to £650m.
West Ham have offered £15m towards the conversion costs, the LLDC are prepared to put in £40m while Newham Council would contribute £60m.
West Ham would also pay an annual rent of £2.5m plus a share of catering and commercial income, estimated at £6.5m per year.
There is also pressure on the government to allocate some of the original Olympic under-spend on construction costs.
Refurbishment would also include a new roof, which would necessitate the installation of new floodlights.

Several Ridiculous Statements
Dear Editor;
I would like to address Richard Venezio's accusations regarding Belle Harbor residents' resistance to a memorial on the crash site in his letter to Mayor Bloomberg published in last week's Wave.
Venezio makes several ridiculous statements accusing "lilywhite" residents of Belle Harbor of "pure, unadulterated racism against the Latino & Dominican communities". What Venezio conveniently forgets is that Belle Harbor residents lost family, friends, neighbors and loved ones in that horrific crash as well. The crash site is not an appropriate place for the memorial several reasons, none of which have to do with racism or community ignorance.
In addition to losing loved ones, families lost their homes and everything they own to the crash. All who were witnesses to the crash, from young children to senior citizens who still live near the site, were traumatized by those events. While no person who died that day should be forgotten, it is not appropriate to place the memorial on a site where it will be a constant reminder of that horrible day for people who still live there. The decision on what to do with the land rests, as it should, with the people who own the land. These people also lost family members and their input is no less important than anybody else's. Why is that fact either ignored or deemed irrelevant whenever this debate arises?
I happen to agree that Beach 116 Street is not the most practical place in Rockaway to put the memorial in terms of crowding and congestion. However, Mr. Venezio neglects to mention in his letter to Mayor Bloomberg that he is a resident of Beach 116 Street, just steps away from the memorial site. It's very easy to accuse others of the N.I.M.B.Y. (Not In My Back Yard) attitude when you are the one who is being inconvenienced. Perhaps Venezio is the one who doesn't want "those people" on his "pristine streets". The fact that he did not mention his close proximity to the memorial in his letter takes all credibility from his argument.
Donates To Katrina Victims
Dear Editor;
On September 10, we had a garage sale and we donated all proceeds to Hurricane Katrina.
Many neighbors on our block donated items to be sold. Our son setup a cookie and drink stand, he made over $90. We made close to $400. The people of Rockaway were so generous. A woman named Michelle donated $100, knowing that whatever we raised, would be matched by my employer.
We donated $500 to Mercy Corp, which was matched by Con Edison to make a total donation of $1000. We also collected and donated six large bags of clothing. Thank you to all, especially the Rudden's, the DiCiervo's, the Watton boys and Michelle.
Needs Should Be Met For Katrina Evacuees
Dear Editor,
The information in the local free press in Queens brought to my attention that Senator Malcolm Smith is in charge of the Louisiana evacuees at the Radisson Hotel. There are only 250 people placed. The food is horrid, with meat patties, mushy rice and salad dinner.
Thank God some churches in Brooklyn and Jamaica are taking them to church services and dinners. The clothes for colder weather are needed. Some people are still wearing flip-flops and soggy wet shoes on their feet. Big sizes for men and women, coats, jackets, etc. are needed. Some people have colds and other problems that need medical attention. School supplies are needed, and better attention for needs for all ages.
Thanks to all of you who are conscious of others' needs at this time. God bless.
Move The Beach
The following letter was recently sent to The Wave by Bernard Blum, the president of the Friends of Rockaway, a local environmental group. Blum has also attached an October, 1990 letter that he received from the Parks Department the last time he made such a request.
Dear Editor,
Enclosed with this letter is a 1990 Parks Department reply to my request to consider destroying the boardwalk and constructing a concrete promenade that would be placed 200 to 400 feet inland of the present Edgemere boardwalk.
This "visionary approach" would ensure new Coastal Erosion Hazard Lines (CEHLs), which would probably prohibit construction within those zones.
Experts indicate that we are in a new hurricane cycle since the 1960s (e.g. Hurricane Donna, 1960, that flooded Rockaway).
With a 20-foot high dune construction in front of the new concrete promenade there would be better storm surge protection.
Note the Edgemere beach tends to be narrow anyway because the boardwalk was built too close to the ocean. So a plus would be a more permanent beach.
The following is a letter received by Bernard Blum in October of 1990 from Stephen Whitehouse, Director of Planning for Parks and Recreation of New York:
Dear Mr. Blum,
In response to your question of why the Coastal Erosion Hazard line and the Rockaway Beach boardwalk were not relocated further inland:
1. Parks & Recreation did not set the location of the Coastal Erosion Hazard Line. The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation sets this line.
2. Sections of the Rockaway boardwalk were rebuilt and are not currently being rebuilt in their original locations. We did not, nor do we have plans to move the boardwalk inland. DPR does not own land north of the Boardwalk that would facilitate moving it to such a position. In some places, DPR does own a 50-foot strip of parkland north of the boardwalk, but we must retain this strip for maintenance purposes. Furthermore, moving the boardwalk would be a large additional expense. The current plans for rebuilding the boardwalk are primarily for redecking the existing structure, with provisions, of course, for installing firestops and replacing any substandard structural supports where necessary.
I hope this answers your questions about Rockaway Beach.
Clean It Up
Dear Editor;
I am appalled at the condition of the Hockey Rink on Beach 108 Street.
Some how it has become a place for people to walk their dogs AND NOT CLEAN UP.
I have recently gone there with my child and there are dog droppings everywhere. How do people let their dogs urinate and defecate in a place for children?
I hope something can be done and the rink cleaned up and used by people with respect for their community.
Parents Need To Take Responsibility
Dear Editor,
This letter is in response to the letter last week from Cynthia Smalls-Williams, who believes there is a topic that the schools do not teach nowadays and that children learn in the street.
The topics she mentions are: What is a husband, what is a wife, what about sex and love and what is the importance of a family? Mrs. Smalls-Williams answers her own questions when she asked, "What is the importance of a family." Exactly, these are subjects that should be taught by your family, your mother and father, and not by the teachers in school.
Many parents feel it is the responsibility of the school system to cover every situation, but I would like to ask a question; where is parental responsibility? It seems more and more today that parents feel someone else should be doing their work and when things go wrong, it's someone else's fault, not theirs.
Teachers teach English, Math, History, Current Events, and maybe art and music, and they may guide children into their future life's work. It is not their responsibility to bring up the children and speak to them about things that should be discussed at home.
The teachers have a hard enough job as it is. Parents have to take some responsibility or else, don't have children.
The Good Old Days
Dear Editor:
The continued boondoggle of Beach 116 Street brings back a lot of memories. It's like someone, or some evil spirit, has its claws around it in a stranglehold no one can pry loose. It reminds me of the Joel Gerstel days and the stranglehold he had on Rockaway with his band of connivers.
That's when Rockaway really got the shaft, not that Rockaway hadn't been shafted before that, or since. That was around 1983 when the Queens Borough President Donald Manes was seen more on Beach 116 Street in Westrich's restaurant (owned by Gerstel) than he was seen at Queens Borough Hall. In those days, the Wave asked, "How many hats can one man wear?"
Joel was head of the Community Board, head of the Chamber of Commerce, head of the Rockaway Revitalization Corporation, head of the Merchants Association, just to name a few. Not bad for a man who lived in Nassau County. But the heavy hand of the law caught up with Joel for failing to pay sales taxes, and shortly after he was caught, he disappeared and was never seen again, at least not by me.
Before Joel left, he put his finishing touches on the new design for the center street parking and watched and supervised (in a paid position) the completion of the job. The only job ever, in the history of New York, that was paid double. The contractor bargained with the Department of Transportation (DOT) to allow the double rate because he promised he would do the job without disturbing the businesses. The contractor closed down the entire block till the job was complete. When Joel wasn't wearing a white apron and frying hamburgers and hot dogs with a phone on each ear, he was out on the street with a hard hat looking into the hole at workers hooking up the sewers.
The company that supplied electricity to Rockaway (Long Island Lighting Company, LILCO) had just spent one and a half million dollars to put the electricity underground, down the middle of the street. The DOT said that if you insist on parking in the center there is a crown in the center that must be cut down. LILCO said if you do that our underground wiring will be destroyed. With the help of Queens Borough President Donald (I never did anything wrong) Manes, Assemblywoman Gerdi (I always told my staff everything) Lipschutz, DOT Commissioner Anthony (I never told a lie) Ameruso, and Mayor Ed (How am I doin'?) Koch, Joel prevailed. LILCO took the underground lighting out and placed it on "temporary" wooden poles on both sides of the street. That was 23 years ago.
I can still see Gerdi, Joel, Anthony, and Donald, surrounded by local politicians and wanna-bees, patting each other on the backs for the great accomplishment of completing the 116 Street project. Shortly after that, Joel disappeared. Gerdi Lipschutz was chased out of the Assembly for having someone on the payroll that she never knew. Gerdi was also collecting one hundred thousand dollars a year for a Casino Gambling Committee—ten years after the State of New York had rejected the push for Casino Gambling and never informed her staff. Anthony Ameruso was convicted of perjury during a city investigation into the awarding of contracts and spent sixteen weeks on Rikers Island. Donald Manes allegedly murdered himself in his own house. He stabbed himself in the chest, pulled the knife out, and threw it twenty-five feet into the kitchen. The knife landed on the handle on the kitchen floor, leaning against the cabinet with the blade pointing upwards. I didn't make this up. No one could make this up. That is what the report said.
The job that is now underway is even a bigger boondoggle. The only reason the center divider is kept is to eliminate the removal of all the inhabitants who reside there, such as the trees, the parking ticket boxes, the lighting poles, things like that. There is no way there will be parking by the curb and alongside the divider. All you have to do is pull out a ruler and measure. There will seldom be space by the curb for delivery trucks to park, and when they double park, no one will be able to move until the truck is unloaded. Down the line the parking by the curb will have to be eliminated, along with many promised parking spaces. The new turnaround on the south side is much smaller than the old turnaround and trucks and busses will have to straddle the sidewalk to get where they will be going. The new (now old) temporary wooden poles will remain in place for who knows how long? Another "quick fix" gone awry on Beach 116 Street. Joel, Gerdi, Anthony, and Donald would be proud.
Lives Are In Danger
Dear Editor,
We would like to call your attention to the fact that lives can be in great danger due to the lack of care by this present city administration. The meeting, which we had a few weeks ago, which was attended by the Red Cross, the city OEM, the police and fire departments, did not hit out at the major problems that could take place here in the Rockaways.
What we failed to take in to account is the major fact that there are only one or two route evacuation signs in the Rockaways, and there are not enough warnings in all the Rockaways. The city has known about this problem for many years.
If the Rockaways get a very bad hurricane, or a tsunami to hit our water areas in Queens, Brooklyn, and Staten Island, it can cause not thousands but millions of lives to be lost. There is no way that the city is set for this action.
In speaking with the chief of OEM, he agrees that there is no set service for the Rockaways. Each volunteer fire department here has its own way of doing things here. This is very wrong, because the Rockaway area should have a central command for all volunteer emergency services and organizations in our area to respond to any incident that could come up.
It would take OEM and other city emergency services (with the exception of fire and police) 30 minutes to get here from Manhattan, and in this time people could die. We need a district OEM chief for the Rockaways, who has the authority to take charge of the area. This could also be done in Brooklyn and Staten Island.
The city has a big deal about terrorists, and all the emergency services are set up for this, but not for bad weather conditions. They are 20 years behind the times. This problem has to be addressed, and someone needs to be put in charge that knows what they are doing. Put people with weather disaster training to run Rockaway, so people will not die.
We need someone to take charge, and not use politics with people's lives. Our organization, the Association of Auxiliary and Volunteer Firefighters (International-GNY) has over 16 years in this field, and we would like to be of help, if only the city would do something to protect our area.
We need protection by way of proper route signs, by training of certain civilians on traffic control and proper shelters off and on the Rockaways. Meetings with nursing homes, hospitals, senior citizen housing, and other shops and businesses need to take place.
The hotels near Kennedy Airport should be made available as shelters, and bridges from Rockaway to the mainland should have all routes open northbound. We should work with Nassau county emergency operations for the routes in Nassau going north.
Since we live and work between two water areas, we live in present danger at all times. We have to take steps to prevent any loss of life in the event that anything hits us. We have to work together and not just have each emergency organization do its things its community. We have to work together as one body for all the Rockaways.

The dream of Baron Davis hitting the hardwood for the New York Knicks will soon become a reality.
According to many reports, his long-awaited debut could come as early as Friday as the Knicks take on the star-studded Miami Heat.
Though Coach Mike D'Antoni's plan is to ease Davis into the rotation slowly, monitoring his minutes on the court, there is no denying how badly the Knicks are struggling right now. As it just so happens, Davis has many of the talents his team is currently craving, so in fact, his vital return to play may be needed sooner than later.
It has come as a surprise to many this season, but the Knicks' offense has been more of a problem than their defense. Though the team is still lacking in the win column, the addition of Tyson Chandler has elevated the defense without question, seemingly beginning to instill a new team culture, resulting in the best defensive roll out New York City has seen in years.
The offense, however, something D'Antoni's teams have been known to excel at, has appeared more stagnant than ever before. No efficient point guard not only means Amar'e Stoudemire is no longer being set up for opportune shots, but also that Carmelo Anthony dominates the ball that much more often, resulting in forced up shots from him as well.
Aside from STAT and Melo, New York's dynamic duo, the offense is weak, with no reliable third scorer stepping up thus far. In addition to creating a better offensive flow for the likes of Stoudemire and Anthony, Davis will also be looked upon to score, whether it be as a complementary player, or as a much needed boot off the bench.
Regardless of how things begin in Davis' Knicks tenure, the conclusion that he will find his way into the starting lineup at some point has to be drawn.
Besides the fact Davis represents the team's strongest point guard threat on paper, Knicks also need to look at inserting Davis into the starting five as a means of shaking things up. If everything was just fine and dandy, the team could have looked to bring Davis in off the bench, only adding to any success. Instead, the boat needs to be rocked.
The two-time all-star in fact found himself practicing with his new team's first unit on Monday, alongside Landry Fields in the backcourt.
Though Fields has been the Knicks' incumbent starting two guard since his rookie year, starting both he and B-Diddy would mean pushing rookie Iman Shumpert to the bench. The Georgia Tech product has excelled since being welcomed into the starting lineup, so far posting up impressive numbers for the season. Not only has he been able to score (with a 12.3 points per game average), but Shumpert is smart on defense (2.6 steals), and has proven he can effectively pass the ball as well (his 3.6 assists per game are second the team behind Anthony).
There's no denying the rookie loves to shoot, which very well may point out his scoring prowess could be used off the bench. That said, the Knicks are still lacking scoring all around, and his strong play overall makes him a solid candidates to stay in the starting lineup.
Though Fields has put together a string of impressive offensive outings as of late, he has been a liability so far this season, shooting poorly from long range. From day one, Fields was inserted into the starting five because he provided a nice balance and played fundamentally well. The Knicks seem to need more than what he brings to the table right now.
Shumpert does make rookie mistakes here and there, but he appears to be the whole package. Fields is known for his defensive intelligence, but Shumpert has proven to be a strong defender as well. In the interest of rocking the boat, a staring backcourt of Davis and Shumpert may be the shock to the system the Knicks are in dire need of.
Neither are liabilities on defense, and both can effectively find teammates in the open floor. More importantly, the 10-15 points (at the very least) each one is capable of would indeed serve well in lieu of a steady third scorer.
Fields could still serve as a spot starter for various matchups, but the fact is both Davis and Shumpert appear to be better players all around. Fields' strengths remain the same; he is able to mesh well with big existing talent. All that recognized, the Knicks need to shake things up in an attempt to find a winning recipe. Davis and Shumpert simply represent new ingredients.

You should not take this medication if you are allergic to rizatriptan, if you have any history of heart disease, or if you have coronary heart disease, angina, blood circulation problems, lack of blood supply to the heart, uncontrolled high blood pressure, ischemic bowel disease, a history of a heart attack or stroke, or if your headache seems to be different from your usual migraine headaches.
Do not take rizatriptan within 24 hours before or after using another migraine headache medicine, including almotriptan (Axert), eletriptan (Relpax), frovatriptan (Frova), naratriptan (Amerge), sumatriptan (Imitrex, Treximet), zolmitriptan (Zomig), or ergot medicine such as ergotamine (Ergomar, Cafergot, Migergot), dihydroergotamine (D.H.E. 45, Migranal), or methylergonovine (Methergine).
Do not use rizatriptan if you have taken a monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI) such as furazolidone (Furoxone), isocarboxazid (Marplan), phenelzine (Nardil), rasagiline (Azilect), selegiline (Eldepryl, Emsam, Zelapar), or tranylcypromine (Parnate) in the past 14 days.
Before taking rizatriptan, tell your doctor if you have liver or kidney disease, high blood pressure, a heart rhythm disorder, or coronary heart disease (or risk factors such as diabetes, menopause, smoking, being overweight, having high cholesterol, having a family history of coronary artery disease, being older than 40 and a man, or being a woman who has had a hysterectomy).
Also tell your doctor if you are also taking an antidepressant such as citalopram (Celexa), duloxetine (Cymbalta), escitalopram (Lexapro), fluoxetine (Prozac, Sarafem, Symbyax), fluvoxamine (Luvox), paroxetine (Paxil, Pexeva), sertraline (Zoloft), trazodone (Desyrel, Oleptro), venlafaxine (Effexor), or vilazodone (Viibryd).
Rizatriptan will only treat a headache that has already begun. It will not prevent headaches or reduce the number of attacks.
After taking a rizatriptan tablet, you must wait two (2) hours before taking a second tablet. Do not take more than 30 mg of rizatriptan in 24 hours.

I am that-exposer. I kill bitches.

My Reasoning for Making that-exposer
There is a Nicki Minaj hate blog on Tumblr(which is deleted, but I will go in depth about that later on), and he was saying horrible things to people. He was asking for minor's phone numbers, etc. He called a 12 year old a slut. So, I, of course, wanted to help my fellow Barbz and Kenbarbz, so I made the blog. I have close to 50 followers, but on Twitter I have around 280. It would really mean...

PerkinElmer Inc. has announced its Optima 8x00 series of Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectrometers (ICP-OES).
According to the company, the Optima 8x00 ICP-OES platform offers improved performance and reduced operating costs for analysis of environmental, food, pharmaceutical, product safety, and geochemical samples.
The spectrometers feature eNeb sample introduction which, by generating a constant flow of small uniform droplets, enables the spectrometer to deliver high sensitivity and instrument stability. The spectrometers also feature a new radio frequency (RF) generator technology—the Flat Plate Plasma Technology. This RF generator features maintenance-free plasma induction plates in place of the traditional helical load coil. The generator reduces argon consumption since no cooling is required. The spectrometers also include a PlasmaCam Viewing Camera, which offers continuous viewing of the plasma.

Interview with Paul Gillies
04/16/02 12:00AM By Steve Delaney
| Download MP3
(Delaney) For months the Legislature has been struggling over reapportionment, the redrawing of new district lines to make House and Senate districts conform to changes in population, as the constitution requires.
The Legislature does this every ten years after the U.S. census provides the numbers to work from. This year, though, the task is made more difficult because the House and Senate are under rival leaderships. There are now indications that the two chambers might even fail to come up with a mutually acceptable plan.
(Delaney) "Former Deputy Secretary of State Paul Gillies is an expert on the kind of challenge the Legislature faces. Mr. Gillies, what happens if the Legislature doesn't get reapportionment done this year?"

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
Suggestions please.
Can you get decent and walking distance to race start/expo (priority in that order!) without breaking the bank.
e.g. in Vichy, the IBIS was 3km from race start and cost about £60quid a night. They did a decent breakfast and the rooms were big enough to put your bike in.
Expo is next door to the start/finish. There's the youth hostel within a five minute walk where a bunch of us stayed in 2009. Early morning breakfast (nothing too flash as I remember) and the bar stays open all night if your sherpas/spectators fancy a night on the lash before the event.
We did the Crowne Plaza which wasn't too bad once you've split it between two. It's a good tram ride away though and we took a taxi race morning. The big bonus was they had a huge garage specifically for the bikes, locked away secure. You could build the bikes in there and even ride them round (it was a decent sized car park!) and then security would lock up when you were done. Excellent service
Thanks everyone. good info
We stayed at the Hotel Ascot which is more expensive but opposite the train station (yet quiet) and about 10 minute walk from race start/finish. It's also close to the centre so various restaurants to choose from plus a MacDonalds opposite!
We booked this via trivago.com as it was much cheaper than going through the hotel directly. It came in around £100.00 per night.
This year I stayed at Fischer Fritz campsite, which was great, I think it may have been same one as WildWill mentions above.
My parents stayed at Hotel Ascot, a bit pricey, but Zurich is very expensive , so not too bad for there and nice and central.
The buses and trams are great for getting around

It's a fun game. The only problem I had is that only 2 of the credit cards work. The calculator has an add and a substract side for depositing and taking out money. You start wth 15,000,000. However, I don't know if other people have had this problem, or I'm just missing something, but most of the credit cards have different balances on each side. For example, if you add money, it'll go up when you have the card on the adding side of the calculator. But if you take money out, it deducts it from… Read Full Review

Welcome to the Quilting Board!
It's not if but when that an accident will happen with a rotary cutter. Always use a safety tool when cutting.
Got fabric?
Yikes!!! My fingers are hurting in sympathy for all of you!!! (Knocking on wood!!) I have been extremely lucky and not sewn my finger (yet!). I have cut myself several times with my rotary cutter, though. I seem to always cut the back or side of my hand somehow. The last time if felt like it just barely touched my hand, but it bled quite a bit and became quite sore.
not only have I done the sewing my finger thing. I was about 14 when I did that. Last fall I knocked the rotary cutter off the table and it landed straight down in the top of my foot and wouldn't you know, I hadn't closed the blade. I had 3 butterfly bandaids so we stuck them on and I didn't go to the doctor but man do those hurt a few days.
Seven stitches to the inch on the index finger. Oh well!
Quilter 68 who is now 69/and now 70
I can so relate - I've tried sewing a finger or two and even my thumb - try that one, so you are not alone, could we call ourselves the "pricked finger club"? LOL It happens to all of us at one time or another.
DH insisted that my boys learn to sew before they operated a power saw - a needle prick is nothing...
NEVER let a sewing machine know you are in a hurry.
good mothers let you lick the beaters - great mothers turn it off first
Ouch! Pain comes with quilting. On the cathedral window I am working on have rammed my needle through the material into the quick of the fingernail as well as under the nail! Live and learn.
Wayne & Gabriele, the married quilters.
I must be depraved. I read every post in this thread, in increasing pain as I did it. Never done the needle thing so far, but pretty much everything else including a V shaped cut on a finger with scissors - I was in a hurry. I think we all need a glass of wine at this point.

Confusing To Existing Fans,
They Say…
With the recent (again!) changes to the Facebook Page Name Change options, I submitted two of my pages for consideration.
The page most likely to have been approved was: "Ask Kimberly & Community: Social Media Technical Support" an old page that was one of the first I ever made…. and where I started.
My request was to change the page name to simply "Kimberly Castleberry" so that I might then merge it into my main page.
The reply reads:
"Hi Kimberly,
Unfortunately, we cannot approve this Page name change. We have determined the name change you requested may be misleading for the people who like the Page. We apologize for any inconvenience, but this decision is final.
For help using Pages, please visit the Pages section of our Help Center: www.facebook.com/help/pages

They did not indicate that my documentation (an image of my drivers license with certain data blacked out) was insufficient, only that the conversion would be confusing.
Whether I would have had better luck requestion the conversion be to "Just Ask Kim" is unknown and not indicated in any manner that I can draw conclusions from.

Simple Tech Tips for Marketing
PS: I did make a "sweet as can be" reply to Betsy asking for a little additional clarification and providing a little of my own. I did not try to aggressively make my case. Generally they will not reply to an email like this, but I'm crossing my fingers that I can garner a little additional insights for you. I do not expect a "change of heart" but any info helps us all.

I've downloaded a few templates from here and other places and have found most documentation to be a bit sparse at best and simply incorrect at worst.
I used to write technical user documentation for a Fortune 100 company, so perhaps I have unreasonably high expectations, but I imagine that as developers/designers you may be having to answer many questions personally through email or the forum because novice users aren't able to jump from point A to C without point B being spelled out in the directions.
So, I'm wondering if there is a market for developers who would want to purchase custom documentation for you templates.
This is a really interesting idea, and I think it'd be incredibly useful for most buyers out there. The question is what the cost of said documentation services might be – considering that a good portion of templates on here only sell between 10 and 50 pieces over the initial period of release (let's say 2 months), at a rate of 40% per product that's just $300 per author – I could see paying $15 for extensive, quality documentation, but anything over that might just pinch authors too tightly.
I should not that that's certainly not what I think the actual value of that documentation is – high quality documentation probably ranges into the thousands of dollars – it's just what I can see the market bearing.
Anyone have any other thoughts on this?
Try downloading mine
One reason some of the template documentation files are a bit sparse is because authors don't want to spend the extra time basically teaching someone how to edit HTML and/or CSS . The documentation files cover what is necessary for the template but beyond that it isn't really the author's responsibility.
Of course, the better the documentation, the higher value an item has. Plus, you'll have fewer support requests and happier customers.
Personally I wouldn't buy documentation since I would rather do it myself. Then again though, I don't want to spend the time making it so if it was a really good template then I might be tempted into it, lol.
Thank you all for your feedback. I appreciate it.

MIHARAYASUHIRO has really been amping up their offerings as of late. The Japanese brand has never been shy of doling out high-design, slightly gothic apparel and accessories, but it seems that versatility and wearability have been slowly creeping up onto their list of priorities as well this past season. Case and point – their 2011 fall/winter "Half Longwing" Boot, which is comprised of the toe of a sophisticated, black and white leather wing-tipped brogue snapped onto the uppers of black suede chukka boot. Complete with white cotton laces, the kicks are bound to draw attention, yet their dual-toned color theme prevents them from being too outlandish.

Why in the world build a repro car when there is stuff like this out there!
I know, we have beat this to death, but I honestly believe most people don't know how easy it is to find this stuff.
This 1915 Dodge in parked on a street in a city of 215K in the San Francisco bay area. It isn't usually on the street, it's in a driveway. I have posted pictures before of the cars there. They are kinda out of my view but when I saw this out at the street for everyone to see I had to post it.
You will see by the photos (sorry they are so large, I wanted you to get a good look at it) this thing would be a VERY easy build. I honestly don't believe that people know how rebuilding a "rust bucket" like this car is no harder than a brand new repro body! I don't care if it's glass or steel (there are some VERY good glass bodies where this doesn't apply) it takes JUST AS MUCH work to get them paint ready as this car, or MORE!
The center floor under the front seat is rusted thru, but it is a simple piece to replace. It is the ONLY rust thru on the car!
Ok, here is the kicker, the whole thing, with ALL parts to restore it (not new parts, all the original motor, that sort of thing) is $3000! A lousy three grand gets you this complete car! If you wanted to build a rod, he has early twenties cars for $2000 and just the sheetmetal and frame for a rod is $1200! TWELVE HUNDRED BUCKS! That is less than you would spend for four repro fenders that need 200 hours work to make them paint ready!
I am NOT advertising for him, I hardly know him and in fact only see him every number of months and had to give him a call to ask these prices as I have never discussed it with him before (price that is). So please don't get the wrong idea.
This is only to point out what you can find out there with a little search.
thats cool it the bevery hillbilies car
couldn't find that where I live.. you might find the car, but it's probably going to be rusted beyond usability...
I would have a very hard time justafying $3k for that unless I really wanted it.. I looked at an old Total performance T that at 1 time had been completed, but was sold with engine removed and in need of gauges ( removed ), floor ( cut out ) and no engine/ trans.. but all tires/ brakes were good and the guy was asking $2k..
First off, this is just an example, there are a dozen others in his yard from this to C cabs to coupes to roadsters up into the 30's.
As far as "where you live", you could ship this car to you, you pay to ship the repro one.
It never got the transplant, someone came along and offered me a ridiculous 3-3/4 times my total cost and off it went, he wanted to restore back to stock.
Point being it is a lot smarter to start with a car that is more complete and rust free when you live in the Rust States, that Dodge shown above could have the body shortened and be quite a rod for not a lot of $$$ invested, and when it got to you you could sell off the driveline, rear axle, wheels, front axle, etc to a resto nut and keep the body, frame and some other bits - the parts sold of might pay for the whole initial cost!!
Try to resurrect a $200 Rust Belt Bomb and you will have a ton of cash into just body work and metal, and a ton of time! Doesn't seem like such a great starting price on the Rust Bomb now, does it?!! The higher initial buy in for the clean piece is the smarter move, even if you can do all the body stuff yourself on the Bomb, you will still have a large materials cost.
Think it thru
That's the thing, with what these repro bodies cost you could fly out here and look at it so you don't buy it sight unseen. Have a little vacation and buy a classic car, how can you go wrong?
I sold my super solid, ZERO rust (EVER) 65 Skylark to a guy in NY, it cost him a grand to ship it. For $3700 he got himself a SUPER nice car.
DUCK GRANNY, DUCK !!!!!! I guess some people just dont like old stuff,if it aint new its junk .....Finding these gems is half the fun.
WHY.....Because building a REAL car aint easy...Most people dont have the nads for it or the respect...even a les paul copy is pretty but its still a copy and no self respecting artist would ever get caught playing with one or even smashing and setting one on fire ,it has to be real...
Well that's one of my questions DBM, what is so hard about building this car compared to a repro? There are some super high quality fiberglass bodies out there that need next to no work to put a first class paint job on them. But MOST, a HUGE majority need HUNDREDS of hours to get them in shape for paint. They take HUNDREDS of hours to modify them for your needs when it comes to floors and dashes and all that stuff. It takes HUNDREDS of hours to fit fenders and the like.
Building this car wouldn't be "more" work, only "different" work!
And a metal repro? Give me a break, they are wavy junk, I have felt many of them and never have I felt one that would take less than a few hundred hours to make them show worthy. Some would take MANY hundreds of hours.
Without out a doubt this car would take less time any steel repro body and fenders I have ever seen.
It's like doing a frame swap, newbes have the poor misguided thought that it saves time or money or skills when in fact it is only DIFFERNT time money and skills. I saves you NOTHING swapping a frame, the repro bodies are no differnet.
For instance, this car body and fenders can be had for $1200. A repro steel 34 body and fenders is what, $15K? You could get an aweful lot of body work done at a shop for $13,800, even in the SF bay area!
We're On the same page there Brian. If I'm going to spend a ton of hours on something I want something real not a copy...
I would build something like a Cobra from glass though ,that way I could drive the wheels off it and never have to worry about scratching or wreaking a real one.
Brian - I'll stick with my Brookville even tho it took many many hours of work to make it straight - but a whole lot less then that Dodge would take - plus the steel in the B-ville is virgin and clean. I started with a car even better then this - then started adding my time to do and redo some patches, add a floor rebuild or replace the frame and so on and on and on ad nauseum. Yes it would have been nice to say that it's an OEM, but I really had to replace everything but the body shell. So now, what do I have left of that original '31 Ford - a bill of sale from when I bought it, a serial number plate and a LOT more dollars from the guy that bought it so I could build what I really wanted to build....and enough information to register mine.
Now, you cite dollar numbers to buy and ship - not a chance would I buy a car like you show without a visit. For me to travel to your fair state, leaving tomorrow, an overnight stay would add ~$800 including a cheap hotel and a rental car. Then car price and shipping - suddenly you are where the Brookville cost or even more.
Old cars from my area from that vintage - usually a pile of unidentifiable pieces of the heavier parts in the woods.
I have seen complete and running cars like the '31 Slant Windshield Ford that I started with - the cheapest was $9000 and the best was in the $12,000 range. Other hulks are in the $4-$5000 range. Dollar and time wise for ME, a repro was the way to go and others, probably the same reason. I have a busy life beyond my favorite hobby - and sometimes the time factor has to be the first consideration. Even then, this car I've built has taken over 8 years to finish - and it will be licensed within a month or so as I'm "tied up" otherwise
Dave W
Irelands child
it all depends to me.. starting with 'real' steel is good, but from a cost perspective, that '15 Dodge is not a good example.. if it were getting hotrodded, the only thing useable would be the tub, and the grillshell. fenders if the owner wanted them. but the frame and rear suspension is all not good for hotrod material. sure, $1,000 or so could be recovered selling the chassis, but it would still be $2,000.. still need a frame ( $2-500 ), front suspension, rear suspension and lots of other parts.. sure the original suspension could be used, but dodge parts arn't that available and it would be cheaper/ safer to buy some new early Ford suspension parts... so when all is said and done. it would cost more than a more popular T bucket, which can be had for about a grand for a tub and chassis..
that said. as of right now, I'm having a lot of fun building my own creation, and cost right now is around $650 for the frame, body and rear end
I'm with ya Matt,the point is to have fun...personally I enjoy welding and metal working ,building something out of nothing...
Restoring an old car back to original is too expensive for me....Plus I like a hot rod.some cars are in too good a shape to cut up and should go back original,I guess thats why I like worthless rusty cars to cut up and customize.I'm saving them insted of ruining them.I guess the same could be said about building a repo car (your saving the good ones.
one thing I would hate is someone asking me ,after doing all that work is: is it real? or what kind of car is that? I'm sure I'd get mad...I can understand WHY someone would build a repo (it takes years of skill to rebuild one) but I rebuild real ones because I can....and its a whole lot cheaper when your just buying sheet steel and and suppling a ton of hours worth of labor...(labors free) what is really cool is home made rods like Cboys and a few others.
they can take pride in what they've done and they arnt trying to pass it off as something its not...THATs the real problem with repos

I wasn't going to do this Marry Fuck Kill, but I've been astounded by the amount of people tweeting at me during the Pizza challenge that Ellio's is their go to choice for frozen pizza. WRONG. Listen everybody knows it's Stouferrs Frech Bread pizza all day everyday off camera every way. Sure I like a stale cardboard pizza every now and again, but everyday? No chance. If you're marrying a frozen pizza it's definitely Stouffers. Or maybe Celeste. And the only reason I even throw Celeste in the mix is because if you eat Stouffers everyday you're guaranteed to burn your tongue off at least 3 times a week. Other than that I'd say it's the perfect frozen pizza.
Marry – Stouffers

This 3-year program provides a sustained approach to Spanish and English development that cultivates and builds on primary language skills and personal and cultural experiences. The program is a combination of:
Four theoretical premises undergird the program:
The Three-Year Transition Program was developed and evaluated by educators and researchers in the Los Angeles area over a 5-year period (1991 to 1995). The impetus for the project was a growing concern among administrators, teachers, and parents in a particular group of schools about the transitional phase of the bilingual program (when students actually begin English reading and writing). Students seemed to be doing well in Spanish at the lower and middle grades but very poorly in English at the upper grades.
|Units of Study -- Literature Units (Experience-Text-Relationship), Literature Logs,
Instructional Conversation, and Culminating Writing Projects;
|Skill Building -- Assigned Independent Reading, Reading Comprehension Strategies
(strategic reading), Writing Conventions Lessons, Dictation, and English Language
Development through Literature (specifically for Pre-Transition); and
|Other Support Components -- Teacher Read-Alouds, Pleasure Reading, and Interactive Journals.
Model components were selected and refined to establish a high degree of academic challenge and to address comprehensively the full array of literacy skills and competencies (e.g., from spelling to revision, from literal comprehension to literary analysis, and from recitation to high-level discussions).
During the first 3 years of implementation, a full-time facilitator or trainer is required. This position can be established through either Title VII funding, reallocation of Title I funds, or with district resources. Technical assistance and materials for year 1 typically average about $20,000. Continued assistance during years 2 and 3 cost approximately $5,000 per year.
A system and structure to assist with implementation is under development. The model is phased in over a 3-year period that involves both organizational changes and sustained professional development for grades three through five teachers, and for the Title VII, Title I, and district- provided facilitator. Establishing the 3-year design of the program involves improving assessment and placement procedures, organizing Pre-Transition classes by oral English language proficiency levels, and constituting and staffing Transition I and Transition II classes.
Professional development addresses implementation of the language arts model for each phase of the transition program and involves three stages: classroom organization; literature units; and skill- building components. School-site training and coordination is carried out by program facilitators. Facilitators and a small number of teachers are trained by project staff during an initial 2-week Summer Institute, and 6 full-day follow-up meetings conducted across the first year of implementation. During years 2 and 3, ongoing professional development is carried out by school personnel. The facilitator and two or three lead teachers continue to attend regular support and guidance workshops led by project staff.

The four theoretical premises (Challenge, Continuity, Connections, and Comprehensiveness) are grounded in studies that have tried to identify the characteristics of successful programs for English- language learners. The program is designed around the study of literature because research has found that students benefit from extensive and intensive opportunities to work with text, to study interesting stories. Based upon research conducted as part of the Kamehameha Elementary Education Program in Hawaii and Spanish-speaking Latino communities in southern California, the Experience-Text-Relationship approach was selected as the framework for studying literature. Through discussion, writing activities, and reading, the teacher helps students study the story in relationship to their own experiences. Students learn to comprehend text, to make connections between the text and their own lives, and to develop more fully formed concepts through this recurrent process of individual and social discourse.
Grounded in second language acquisition theory, the literature units help provide substantial
comprehensible input language that includes slightly more sophisticated structures or vocabulary
than the learner can produce on his or her own, but language that is understandable within the
context in which it is used. The literature unit becomes a meaningful social context in which words,
phrases, language structures, and concepts are used, acquired, and learned.

For example, what does 620 stand for?
What is the meaning of None, 0 and 2?
Are there any other options?

Where I stayed
Along the way I stopped at St. Nicholas Church and some of the other sights. I spent a couple of hours checking out the Palace, Basilica and Golden Lane along with just wandering around within the castle. I can't imagine what it is like here in the summer, it is only May and already it was absolutely crowded.
After the castle I walked down to Charles Bridge and took my time strolling across it and checking out all the stalls. Well, I took my time until the thunder and rain started and then I picked up the pace a bit until I hit some stores to duck into.
I stayed close to the shops to borrow their roofs until the rain let up and then I set out to the Jewish area
Back at the hostel I met everyone (a group of about 8 of us) for dinner. We ended up at the same place me and Andy (the American) had gone to a couple nights ago. Had a few drinks and the standard pork and gravy type of food before heading to somewhere cheaper for a few more pints. Our cheap pick closed early, around 10ish, so we found another place (that had hot wings!!) before heading back to the hostel.
A lot of noise was coming from Laurens (another Canadian) room so we went to check it out. A Spanish group were having some beers so we joined them for a bit and had a good laugh at the movie/celebrity impressions that one of the guys was doing. Headed back to my room and chatted to some German guys in there before deciding it was time for some sleep.

I ran into an odd issue the other day when I was working on a Linux box. I noticed a number of processes in the ps output were listed with the user's UID instead of his username. It took a little poking around before I realized that it was usernames with more than eight characters that were replaced by the numeric IDs. While this wasn't a big problem, it makes it a lot more trouble to figure out who is running what processes if I have to look them up in the /etc/passwd file.
I could truncate usernames to eight characters and be done with it. Then again, I'd have to inform all the users with nine or more characters that I had shortened their usernames and they would probably stress out at having to remember another variation of their login name. Besides, it seems this old limitation of Unix systems could be handled more smoothly. Even if there would be some workaround to make ps output look the way I expected, would I want to teach it to everyone or force their accounts to alias the command to ps?
The simplest way around the issue seemed to be to create a second entry in the /etc/passwd file. Where I once had:
slrauenzahn:x:111:111:Sara L. Rauenzahn:/home/slrauenzahn:/bin/bash
I now have this:
slrauenz:x:111:111:Sara L. Rauenzahn:/home/slrauenzahn:/bin/bash slrauenzahn:x:111:111:Sara L. Rauenzahn:/home/slrauenzahn:/bin/bash
Sara can still log in with her usual "slrauenzahn" username, but when I and others examine processes with "ps -ef", we will see "slrauenz" alongside each of her processes and will recognize the processes as hers. I could have as easily called the added username "sara" or "sarar" if I thought it would make her easier to recognize. The processes that fetch the username from the /etc/passwd file will simply grab the first entry that matches the UID. In this case, that's 111.
Unix and eight character usernames go back a long way, even further back than eight character filenames in DOS. What surprises me is that longer usernames can still present problems. With 2 TB files and pathnames that exceed 4000 characters, why are Unix systems today still plagued by problems when usernames exceed eight little characters?
The other "eight character" problem I run into from time to time involves a user trying to change his password. I'll get a call from one of my users telling me that he can't change his password. He tells me the system comes back with "Permission denied". Almost every time, the user has a username that exceeds eight characters and I have to suggest that they enter their username after passwd command so that Unix will not be confused.
boson> passwd passwd: Changing password for slrauenz passwd: User unknown: slrauenz Permission denied boson> passwd slrauenzahn Enter existing login password:
Unix systems have developed in magnificent ways. With outstanding file systems (like zfs!), impressive degrees of virtualization, zones and much improved systems administration tools, Unix has grown into an ever increasingly impressive operating system. There are just these odd little problems that still seem to plague even the best implementations of my very favorite OS. Sigh!

Conifer defence against insects: microarray gene expression profiling of Sitka spruce (Picea sitchensis) induced by mechanical wounding or feeding by spruce budworms (Choristoneura occidentalis) or white pine weevils (Pissodes strobi) reveals large
Ralph, Steven, Yueh, Hesther, Friedmann, Michael, Aeschliman, Dana, Zeznik, Jeffrey, Nelson, Colleen, Butterfield, Yaron, Kirkpatrick, Robert, Liu, Jerry, Jones, Steven, Marra, Marco, Douglas, Carl, Ritland, Kermit, & Bohlmann, Jorg (2006) Conifer defence against insects: microarray gene expression profiling of Sitka spruce (Picea sitchensis) induced by mechanical wounding or feeding by spruce budworms (Choristoneura occidentalis) or white pine weevils (Pissodes strobi) reveals large. Plant, Cell and Environment, 29(8), pp. 1545-1570.
Conifers are resistant to attack from a large number of potential herbivores or pathogens. Previous molecular and biochemical characterization of selected conifer defence systems support a model of multigenic, constitutive and induced defences that act on invading insects via physical, chemical, biochemical or ecological (multitrophic) mechanisms. However, the genomic foundation of the complex defence and resistance mechanisms of conifers is largely unknown. As part of a genomics strategy to characterize inducible defences and possible resistance mechanisms of conifers against insect herbivory, we developed a cDNA microarray building upon a new spruce (Picea spp.) expressed sequence tag resource. This first-generation spruce cDNA microarray contains 9720 cDNA elements representing c. 5500 unique genes. We used this array to monitor gene expression in Sitka spruce (Picea sitchensis) bark in response to herbivory by white pine weevils (Pissodes strobi, Curculionidae) or wounding, and in young shoot tips in response to western spruce budworm (Choristoneura occidentalis, Lepidopterae) feeding. Weevils are stem-boring insects that feed on phloem, while budworms are foliage feeding larvae that consume needles and young shoot tips. Both insect species and wounding treatment caused substantial changes of the host plant transcriptome detected in each case by differential gene expression of several thousand array elements at 1 or 2 d after the onset of treatment. Overall, there was considerable overlap among differentially expressed gene sets from these three stress treatments. Functional classification of the induced transcripts revealed genes with roles in general plant defence, octadecanoid and ethylene signalling, transport, secondary metabolism, and transcriptional regulation. Several genes involved in primary metabolic processes such as photosynthesis were down-regulated upon insect feeding or wounding, fitting with the concept of dynamic resource allocation in plant defence. Refined expression analysis using gene-specific primers and real-time PCR for selected transcripts was in agreement with microarray results for most genes tested. This study provides the first large-scale survey of insect-induced defence transcripts in a gymnosperm and provides a platform for functional investigation of plant-insect interactions in spruce. Induction of spruce genes of octadecanoid and ethylene signalling, terpenoid biosynthesis, and phenolic secondary metabolism are discussed in more detail.

A man smashes his hip in a horrific car crash and is taken to hospital where his body is scanned. By the time his condition has stabilised, a 3D printer has created a new hip joint precisely customised for him as an individual and ready to implant.
This is not science fiction but technology that is being used right now. In all fields, from healthcare to architecture, food production to clothing manufacturing, 3D printing is further advanced than many realise.
Meanwhile, the cost of 3D printers has plummeted, making the technology within reach for most businesses. There is a huge opportunity right now for entrepreneurs and nimble businesses to innovate with 3D printing and disrupt the status quo.
"Cost is coming down a hell of a lot," Stott says. "When we started in the business 12 years ago your basic machine would cost $110,000. That would now be $40,000 or $50,000 for the same sort of machine but there are also now desktop machines for a few thousand dollars for the home market."
The consumer-level machines have been around for about two years and while they are not quite as accurate as the industrial-grade machines of today, they are on par with the 3D printers of a decade ago at a fraction of the cost.
Stott says that even the $50,000 machines can be used for a home-based business because they are small enough to be wheeled into the house. The smallest ones are about the size of a washing machine.
Australian National University professor in applied mathematics,
"Once you give home inventors the chance to innovate at home, it's like we saw with the internet – it's an explosion of capability that goes exponentially faster than anyone could have anticipated," Senden says. "People can find little niches and clever little ways of solving problems that just standard industry couldn't have done alone so having crowd-sourced innovation is a very important part of 3D printing technology."
Stott says one of the biggest areas of growth for his company is the architecture market.
Previously architecture 3D modelling software was not compatible with 3D printing, but this has changed. The other shift that Stott has noticed is a rise in younger architects with influence over the IT purchasing decisions of their firms.
Architecture is a "classic example" of a field that is benefiting from 3D printing, says Senden. "You do most of your modelling on the screen and then you might print the final concept model just to see how it works aesthetically.
"We're basically three-dimensional beings and when you project something on the screen you're relying on your perception of 3D but actually touching it, seeing it, standing around it makes a really big difference."
Similarly in pure research, physical 3D models can make a big difference.
He says medical students often refer to anatomical models created by 3D printing, and palaentologists to replicas of old bones or fossils.
The biggest shift that is happening with the commercial use of 3D printing is in manufacturing, where it is typically called additive manufacturing.
The research has moved rapidly with the US focusing on polymer or plastic-based printing and Europe on additive manufacturing using metal.
The managing director for the
"It's starting to be seen in mainstream manufacturing particularly in the northern hemisphere," Grey says.
His CRC is working with companies such as Micro Turbo, which makes parts for the aerospace industry using 3D printing techniques. In commercial aircraft it is typically non-critical elements like plastic trim, but Grey says some of the military aircraft designers are more adventurous.
ANU's Senden says bespoke or boutique manufacturing is another area of growth, with companies like I Materialise leading the way. Consumers or home-based industries can upload designs for anything from jewellery to home furnishings and I Materialise will print it out with a choice of materials.
Senden also predicts printing food as a mass-production technique is only a couple of years away. "In the immediate future I think we'll see printed food. We already have printed chocolate but once textured vegetable protein is available to work with, I think we'll see production line stuff."
But the biggest opportunity for manufacturers, Senden says, is the fusion between 3D printing and robotics. Manufacturing clothing usually requires different materials and colours for different parts of the garment and trim. Similarly you would not be likely to print a house in its entirety, but rather to print components into a scaffold or for robots to assemble.
Grey says printing orthopaedic implants such as hip replacements is already happening, while in the longer term it could be possible to print tissue and organs.
"It's had early take-up in orthopaedic implants mainly because of the advantages it offers in that field," he says. "One desire with orthopaedic implants is what's referred to as patient-specific implants so a patient will have a scan and the implant will be made according to that scan, so it's an exact replica of the bone that's been replaced."
Two main materials are used – titanium metal and cobalt chrome – but either way Grey says that using it in powder form as a printing material is just as strong and effective as traditional precision grinding.
The other advantage is that 3D printers can create a scaffold-type structure to reduce weight and researchers are conducting pre-clinical research encouraging bone or tissue growth into the scaffold.
Gartner predicts the commercial market for 3D print applications will continue expanding into architectural, engineering, geospatial and medical uses, as well as short-run manufacturing. It says 3D printers are now priced so any size business can invest in them and start experimenting.
Businesses that wait until 2016 will be able to buy an enterprise-class machine for under $2000, but early adopters could experiment with minimal risk and possibly gain an advantage in product design and time to market or simply develop better understanding of the costs and time involved.
Gartner argues they are set to lower the cost of entry into manufacturing in the same way that e-commerce did for the sale of goods and services.
Gartner research director
"From descriptions of exciting current uses in medical, manufacturing and other industries to futuristic ideas – such as using 3D printers on asteroids and the moon to create parts for spacecraft and lunar bases – the hype leads many people to think the technology is some years away when it is available now and is affordable to most enterprises," he says.

Fig Leaves and Other Christian Coverings HTML version
He's anointed Me to preach the gospel to the poor - that's to bring people into an encounter with the living God,
become saved - but God's got much more for us than that.
He's anointed Me to heal the broken hearted. That means God wants to heal brokenness in our lives so we can enter
into meaningful relationships, because without relationships you don't have a life. It's true isn't it? Without
relationships you don't have a life. People who've got no relationships, you know you kind of - he hasn't got a life has
he really? Got no friends, got no - you're just buried in something and many times we substitute - I know people that
substitute model trains for relationships. Watching it go round - wonderful hobby I suppose but not my thing. But
usually it's a substitute for having genuine relationships. Some have a pet instead of a relationship, have a
relationship with a pet. Well that's a strange thing really. Nice to have pets, they're wonderful, part of God's creation -
but we're made to relate to people, made to relate to God so we've got to learn to have a relationship with God.
So the anointing on Jesus is to heal those who are broken hearted and many times we saw people cover over what
they're really like, so in this story here we saw genuine love, the love of God. What God is wanting to do with us is to
put into us a love and to grow us so mature that we can actually enter into the world of others and help them. Now the
trouble is how can you enter the world of other people very successfully if you won't even enter your own world? How
can you be authentic to other people if you're covering up who you really are and what's really going on? The biggest
complaint against church, although it's often unfounded but there's some truth in it, is they're hypocrites. They play.
They're nice on Sunday but the rest of the week you want to see what they're like pastor. I don't know whether I do -
rather be in denial and look at all these happy faces and say aren't they all wonderful. The reality's a li ttle bit different
though isn't it?
The reality is that many people, their walk daily is actually inconsistent with what we believe and so God wants us to
grow and mature, to grow up. Growing up isn't easy. It's got some challenges with it and I want to sh are with you
today some keys to help you grow. In Genesis 3:7 we saw that Adam and Eve sewed fig leaves together, made
themselves coverings. In Verse 10 he said I was afraid because I was naked and I hid myself, so Adam and Eve as a
consequence of the fall hid themselves from painful reality. To actually come into the presence of God meant to face
what was really happening in their life and Adam said I was afraid. That means he had deep feelings, bad feelings,
bad vibes and he said because I was naked and so I ran away and hid.
We saw how Adam and Eve as a consequence of the fall concealed their identity, covered themselves up and then
hid and we see here a pattern; their behaviour of hiding came about as a result of them feeling fear and believing
God was going to punish them. So when we look at people's lives you see the outward part which is like the tip of an
iceberg on the surface, but below that outward part is where people really live. So if I'm going to grow as a believer
and grow in my relationship with God and ability to represent Him, I've got to change on the inside. I've got to explore
my inner world and discover what is in there. Now you don't have to become introspective, looking into yourself all the
time, but the Holy Spirit is given and He dwells inside you and His job is to bring to your awareness where you need
to grow up.
[The Bible said Jesus said 00.06.01] in John 14, I won't leave you orphans. I won't leave you without a Father, so if
you've been without a father in your life or been und er poor - perhaps your parents weren't able to function, your
father wasn't able to function as God intended to, nevertheless the spirit that God puts into you, the Holy Spirit of God
is a fathering spirit. It is to speak into your heart direction, correction and to bring about maturity so you discover who
you are and how to relate and live your life and how to fulfil a purpose. That's the role of a father, one of the major
roles of a father - so Jesus said I will pour My spirit into you and the Holy Spirit I put inside you will be a witness you
belong - that God is your Father, but also that spirit, the Holy Spirit in you is to bring you to face realities, to face truth.
If we keep covered up and hiding our life and don't want to go there or pretend we've m oved on when we haven't
moved on, or minimise what's happening in our life, we miss out on the opportunity to grow and fulfil what God called
us to do.
It's very difficult to enter into anyone else's life very deeply if you're very shallow yourself. Can Go d use you? Of
course He can. You can encourage someone, you can show an act of kindness to someone, you could visit them,
you could ring them, you can connect with them, give to them. You can do all sorts of things, but there's a dimension
of reaching into lives to really authentically help people which won't be yours unless you're willing to grow. So God
wants us on a journey. Now how does God get us to grow when many times we don't want to face the areas which
are damaged, nor address them? We want to jus t to push them under and get going. Well God's got a great strategy
and that strategy's called pain. Pain - you notice if you hit your thumb and you're in pain the one thing you notice is
your thumb. You notice nothing else. Your whole world is filled with THUMB! Isn't that right?
