There sure are a bunch of great videos that come out of the show MythBusters. In a previous episode, they wanted to simulate a highway speed car crash (to test if an explosive in the trunk would detonate). Clearly, you wouldn't want to do this with actual people in the car. The MythBuster solution is to half-bury one car and drop another car on top of it. Here is the set up they have:
This kind of video just begs for me to analyze it. How can I turn it down? How? I can't. So, here I go.
First, some info. The episode states that the car was dropped from 46 meters. So, how fast was it going when it crashed? Before I start, there are two issues to deal with. The video is probably not in real-time (meaning the frame rate of the video is slowed down for effect). Also, the height is listed as 46 meters – but is that the height from the bottom of the car to the ground or to the other car? Maybe it is the height of the crane. I really just don't know.
Oh, before I forget, this site (http://mythbustersresults.com/) has a whole bunch of useful notes from the various MythBusters episodes.
What is the time frame?
Now, back to the video. There actually might be one more problem. It seems they used a wide angle lens in order to fit the whole motion into view. What would this mean? This would mean that the scale of motion would be different near the edges of the video compared to the center. There really is nothing I can do about this – so I will just proceed.
Here is the position-time data for the falling car. I chose to set the distance from the front bumper of the falling car to the ground as a distance of 46 meters. Of course, to get this data I used Tracker Video.
But what does this mean? The highlighted part of the data shows the time the car was falling. If it is indeed in free fall, it should have an acceleration of -9.8 m/s2. But what is the acceleration here? First, you have to realize that for an object moving with a constant acceleration, the position can be described by the following kinematic equation:
So when I fit a quadratic equation to this data, the "a" parameter would be (1/2)(acceleration). The acceleration of this falling car is then twice the "a" term. Really, it is unfortunate that this term is called "a". It looks like it would be the acceleration, but it isn't. In this case the acceleration is:
Here, the unit of time is Ms and not seconds. The video lists the frame rate at 30 frames/second. However, in real life it could be different and probably is. But I can find this conversion from Ms (MythBuster seconds) to real seconds if I assume the acceleration is -9.8 m/s2.
This says that for every 1 second of played video, 2 seconds went by in real life. This doesn't make sense. This says that the video play back was played faster than real life. Then what happened? I suspect that this video is actually in real time (1 Ms = 1 second) but that the perspective errors cause the seemingly incorrect acceleration.
While I am talking about video speeds, let me go ahead and make a request (that I have made before). Dear MythBusters, please always include the frame rate as a little note in the bottom corner of your videos. Wouldn't that be nice? It would. Oh, two more requests. Also include a length scale as well as making these videos easier to download. Right now, they are streamable (and that is super nice), but not downlaodable.
Back to the physics.
How fast was the car at impact?
The whole point of dropping the car was to get it up to highway speeds. So, how fast then? There are two ways. First, I could assume a drop height of 46 meters and just calculate how fast it would be going on impact. Let me do that. Whenever there is a problem dealing with changes in position, it is usually best to use the work-energy principle. This says that the work done on an object is equal to its change in energy. For a falling car, only the gravitational force does work. I can write this as:
Using a height of 46 m, this gives a final velocity of 30 m/s (about 67 mph). So, that would indeed be about highway speeds.
How about another way to get the final speed? If I assume the video is in real time, then the car fell for 1 second. If the car started from rest, I can use the definition of acceleration to find the final speed. (this is just for the acceleration in the y-direction so I will write it as a scalar)
This clearly does not agree with the calculation using the 46 meters. So, either it didn't actually fall from 46 meters, or the time in the video is not real time. If the car did indeed fall from 46 meters, it should take about 3 seconds to fall. If it only took 1 second to fall, this would have started from a height of just 4.9 meters instead of 46 meters. So, what is the problem? I am going to guess that it is a frame rate problem with the video. The dropping car video that I used was from the end of the show where Grant was summarizing what they did. It doesn't seem completely unreasonable that the editing crew would have compressed this falling car video down from 3 seconds to 1 second to make it fit better.
Is there a perspective problem?
If the time scale is wrong AND the length scale is wrong, that can cause some problems. How can I see if there are indeed perspective problems? Here is a plot of the length of the falling car (as measured from the front to back of the car) as the car falls (as measured by the center of the car).
This seems to indicate a wide-angle lens. When the car is higher up, it is shorter (as measured in the video). At the lower height, it is longer. You can see another problem here. Even at 20 meters (if it really is meters), the length of the car is almost 15 "meters" long. That would be a pretty long car. If this is something like a Ford Crown Victoria, it should have a length around 5.4 meters, not 15 meters.
Ok, I think there is clear evidence that there are some problems with this video. Could I fix it? Maybe. I guess I could use the scale of the car to set up the video analysis and change this in each frame. Originally, I had planned to also look at the acceleration during the collision. Now it doesn't seem worth while. Actually, I tried it but it didn't work.
Just to be clear, here is the quick summary:
- The falling car video looked like a textbook type example of free fall motion.
- If it was dropped from 46 meters, it would indeed reach highway speeds (67 mph).
- The frame rate of the video is likely not in real time. In the video, the motion takes just 1 second, but it should take over 2 seconds.
- The video has a perspective problem. The camera was likely too close to the falling car and using a wide angle lens. This means normal video analysis techniques won't work too well.
So, in the end it wasn't the best video to analyze. There may have been a better shot of this falling car in the full episode of MythBusters, but I I was just going by the videos available online.
Here is the clip that I used for this analysis.Go Back to Top. Skip To: Start of Article.

st: Re: when fuzzy (QCA) does not converge
Wed, 12 May 2010 15:52:20 +0200 (CEST)
I wish to test the sensitivity of Fuzzy (QCA) (Longest and Vaisey, Stata Journal 2009) to specific cases in a sample, i.e., what happens to the reduced sets when one or more cases are randomly taken out from the sample (i.e., something similar to Jacknife or Leave-one-out).
I wrote a command loop but each time Fuzzy is not capable to reduce the solution, it provides an error message and the program stops.I tried to use the capture/drop command, in order to tell the program to ignore error messages, but they seem not to apply when a program fails.
Anyone can help? Thanks and sorry if it is not clear.

Brandon Klein has done what few Floridians can: go weeks without driving. The 26-year-old tax accountant walks three blocks from his condominium across the street from Biscayne Bay in Miami to his office at Deloitte. On weekends, he and his friends hang out on the pool deck or share a cab to a local Irish pub.
He lives in Downtown, a neighborhood north of the Miami River where young people are renting condos built during the 2004 to 2008 boom to attract affluent second-home buyers. The newcomers enjoy a lifestyle made possible in part by developers and banks seeking to recoup some of their losses. Klein and two roommates pay less than $2,800 a month for a three-bedroom unit that has a view of Biscayne Bay, a wraparound balcony, and access to a gym, spa, and steam room. "Five years ago you wouldn't have kids fresh out of college living in luxury like this," says Klein, sitting in the three-story lobby of his building, 50 Biscayne, while coordinating happy-hour plans by text message. Similar apartments sold for as much as $809,000 during the boom, according to Peter Zalewski, a principal with consulting firm Condo Vultures in Bal Harbour.
Many of Klein's friends live nearby in the Met I, which has 447 luxury units and a steakhouse on the first floor. They refer to their building as "Deloitte Dorm" because it's home to so many employees of the accounting and consulting firm.
The 7,000 unsold condos in Miami's core are filling up and giving life to Downtown, an area known for its courthouses, warehouses, homeless shelters, and the American Airlines Arena, where LeBron James will play next season with the Miami Heat. The renewal is even more pronounced in the adjacent neighborhood, Brickell, just south of the Miami River. "I'm a big city person, and I always thought Miami didn't have a real city," said Dejan Krsmanovic, a 39-year-old biomedical engineer who was on a first date at Segafredo, a busy Italian restaurant and bar that opened in 2008 in the Brickell area. "This is beginning to resemble a city."
The new vitality can be seen at Juan Chipoco's sleek Peruvian restaurant, CVI.CHE 105, on Northeast Third Avenue off East Flagler Street, in the heart of Downtown. Chipoco, who recently expanded the restaurant to 220 seats from 65, says lines sometimes form on weekends despite a $10 valet fee and limited parking.
Diners can choose from more than a dozen restaurants north of the Miami River that stay open after 7 p.m., compared with two or three a few years ago, says Jose Goyanes, 42, a longtime Downtown business owner who, with his partners, converted a luggage store into Tre Italian Bistro a year ago. The flood of college students, young professionals, and empty nesters has softened the impact of the recession. "It's like a bungee cord pulling Downtown businesses up," he says.
Alfred Spellman, 31, a documentary filmmaker and lifelong Miami resident, says the new residents and businesses are good for Downtown. He doubts the area will ever be a destination for affluent buyers, though: "In three or four years, when a wealthy couple walks into the lobby of one of these buildings and sees a bunch of college kids, will the owner of the unit get the price hoped for during the boom? Don't think so."
The influx of renters intensified about 18 months ago when banks that financed the condo projects agreed to let developers slash sales prices by as much as 40 percent, says Zalewski. That spurred demand from foreign buyers and all-cash investors, many of whom are renting out their units until prices rebound, he says.
The Miami Downtown Development Authority estimates that the population of the city's core jumped to about 70,000 from 40,000 since the 2000 Census, with much of the increase coming in the past few years. The Miami rental market is one of the strongest in the country, according to Ronald G. Johnsey, president of Axiometrics, a research firm in Dallas. That's true even though unemployment is more than 11 percent, compared with 9.5 percent nationally, and developers are adding to supply by leasing units built for purchase.
Builders haven't given up on finding buyers. At the Axis on Brickell, developed by Brack Capital Group, about 85 percent of the 718 units are rented, says Albert Piazza, the project manager. One-bedrooms go for about $1,400 to $1,600 a month; two-bedrooms cost $1,800 to $2,200. The firm has sold about 239 condos and lets tenants put half their rent toward purchase. "The goal is still to sell out," Piazza says.
"We were trying to build a city in perhaps what was too fast a time period," says Jorge M. Pérez, chairman and chief executive officer of the Related Group. The company has built more than 6,500 units in Downtown and Brickell. Pérez says the Related Group lost $50 million to $100 million on the $1.25 billion Icon Brickell, completed in late 2008. The 1,800-unit project has a boutique hotel and a two-acre sundeck 140 feet above Biscayne Bay, featuring three pools, an outdoor fireplace, and an oversize floor chess board. "What we did in building those buildings, was it wrong?" Pérez says. "I wish there wasn't the suffering on a personal basis, on a banking basis, and individual basis. But have we made Miami a much better city? Absolutely, yes."
The bottom line: By lowering prices, Miami developers have found a way to fill up empty condo towers while waiting for the economy to rebound.

From The Artists Studio Rockaway Artists Alliance
Have your children attended the Rockaway Artists Alliance's kidsmART afterschool program - in T-149 in Fort Tilden, at St. Rose of Lima, PS 104 in Bayswater, former MS 180 — during the last 11 years?
Has a member of your family ever worked as an intern, Teen Assistant or Artistic Instructor for kidsmART?
Has a member of your family ever received quality art therapy at kidsmART?
Have you ever attended a kidsmART children's art show, dance recital or drumming session and viewed firsthand the confidence and sheer delight kidsmART kids proudly display?
Are you a community resident interested in the services available to your neighbors?
Are you an artist or musician who understands the value of art education?
Are you planning a family or perhaps have young children and have heard that when your child turns 6 years old there is a nurturing, friendly, inspirational place where children can learn various mediums of art and performance, receive academic assistance, play chess, participate in science experiments, go on nature walks, play kickball, learn digital photography and make lifelong friendships and that place is called kidsmART and it is FREE?
Are you a working parent who needs a safe space for your children to go to receive quality services, from a nurturing and watchful staff?
If any of these things matter to you, please read on. We desperately need your help.
The Rockaway Artists Alliance kidsmART afterschool program, which has provided free afterschool opportunities to the children of the entire Rockaway peninsula and Broad Channel for more than 11 years and meaningful employment to many local residents, is facing the very real prospect of having to close its doors as of June 30, 2009.
As a result of City budget cuts kidsmART's main funding source, the Department of Youth and Community Development has made the difficult decision to totally eliminate all Out-of- School Time, Option II programs. This is the category of funding that kidsmART and the Madison Boys and Girls Club on Beach 40 Street both receive. We are calling on all RAA members and enthusiasts, artists, musicians, residents, parents, educators, teens, children who have participated in our programs and current or former staff members to please write or call the people listed below and tell them not to eliminate Option II funding which provides services to the children of Rockaway via the kidsmART programs sponsored by the Rockaway Artists Alliance.
Commissioner Jeanne Mullgrav 156 Williams St., 6th Floor, N.Y., N.Y., 10038 or send an email to http://www. nyc.gov/html/mail/html/maildycd.html
City Council Speaker Christine Quinn, 224 W 30th St., Suite 1206, N.Y., N.Y. 10001 or send an email to council.nyc.gov scroll to bottom of page, click on contact speaker and fill out form. Call 212 564-7757.
District 31 Councilman James Sanders, 226-18 Merrick Blvd., Laurelton, N.Y., 11413 or send an email to sand email@example.com. Call 718 527- 4356. District 32 Councilman Eric Ulrich Information Pending.

Mayor Michael Bloomberg, City Hall, N.Y., N.Y., 10007 or send an email to http://www.nyc.gov/html/ mail/html/ mayor.html.
Call the Mayor at 311 and register a complaint about these proposed budget cuts.
The threat to the Rockaway Artists Alliance kidsmART programs is very real.
We are facing the complete elimination of our Option II funding, which not only provides services to the hundreds of children and families we serve at our two afterschool sites in T-149, Fort Tilden and also in PS 104 in Bayswater, but it also pays the rent for our office on Beach 116 Street and all administrative salaries and costs. We need everyone's support.
We have been told by DYCD Program Directors that the squeaky wheels will get the oil.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.

The warm weather and Spring-like atmosphere has made me antsy to get gardening, but since it's only March, I'll have to settle with starting some seeds indoors. It might be too early to start seeds, but I think that it might be warm enough to set out some of these transplants when they're ready in a month or so. It might be pushing the envelope, but I like living on the edge.
I started four large trays with about two dozen six packs of pots I've saved from former nursery purchases. It's super easy to just fill them with fresh potting soil and pop in the seeds.
This is only a fraction of the veggies and flowers that we plant. We will still make our annual May pilgrimage to a nursery in Fertile, Minnesota, the fantastic Bergeson Nursery and buy other plants from local nurseries and hardware stores.

Starting Seeds Indoors

I do the same thing every year with my flowers and tomatoes. We put the greenhouse up two weekends ago already and I should have stuff planted but got sidetracked hauling rocks.
We use bottom heat here with an ingenious system Carl came up with involving a hot water heater element and a fountain pump (high tech, ha) which works great. That way I don't have to heat the greenhouse structure itself. I often start stuff under lights in the basement, too. The heat generated from the light fixtures is a great help in germination.

Championship: UNC vs. Maryland preview
Nov. 20, 2010
By Jeff Seidel
Special to NCAA.com
COLLEGE PARK, Md. - Getting a chance to win a national championship is special, but the opportunity to do that on your home field means even more.
Thats why No. 1 Maryland is so fired up heading into Sundays Division I womens field hockey national title game against No. 2 North Carolina.
The game, scheduled for noon, will be played at Marylands Field Hockey and Lacrosse Complex and is a rematch of last years championship game where the Tar Heels pulled out a 3-2 victory.
Katie ODonnell is going to be one of the key players for Maryland, as shes been throughout her career. She needs one goal to break the 100-goal barrier and three to set the ACC record for career goals—the senior already has the conference mark for points and assists and is looking forward to her final home game being for the national crown.
This is one of the best facilities you can find in NCAA hockey and just to end up here, hopefully holding up that big trophy at the end with all of your fans behind you, I dont think there is anything better than that," ODonnell said.
The Terrapins have been tough to beat at home, posting a 94-9 career record at the complex.
In addition, theyre 17-1 in NCAA Tournament games played at Maryland.
During Fridays 3-1 semifinal victory over Ohio State, the complex was decidedly pro Maryland. And there is no question that the Terrapins are looking forward to more of the same on Sunday.
Being here is special," said Marylands Alicia Morawski. Having everyone around us, our family and friends, giving them a chance to be out there is going to be a phenomenal feeling."
If the crowd duplicates the aura that was prevalent on Friday, it could give the Terps some help. Maryland (22-1) comes into the championship game with two victories over North Carolina (22-2) already this season.
Those were the only two losses North Carolina suffered all year - and it was North Carolina that scored with 11 seconds to play to pull out the championship in 2009.
The teams have met four times in the national title game, with each team winning twice.
The Tar Heels rallied for a 2-0 deficit to beat Virginia, 3-2, in overtime in the semifinals and get to the championship.
We are very, very excited to get to advance to the final game," said North Carolina coach Karen Shelton. I have always felt like once you get to the Final Four, its a time to celebrate and celebrate the season and play a little freer because everyone who gets here has had a great season."

St. Paul, MN (June 1, 1999) -- For the first time in history, scientists now have the complete blueprint of the genetic information that makes an animal. British and American scientists, headed by Dr. John Sulston and Dr. Bob Waterston respectively, announced in the 1998 December 11th issue of Science that they completed the sequencing of the whole genome of the tiny soil-dwelling, free-living nematode Caenorhabditis elegans. This landmark biological accomplishment is described on the American Phytopathological Society's feature home page this month at http://www.scisoc.org, which highlights the implications for plant nematology in sequencing C. elegans and contains links to related sites.
"For plant nematologists, this accomplishment represents the beginning of an exciting new chapter in efforts to understand plant-associated nematodes," says Joseph Esnard, a nematologist at Cornell University and member of the American Phytopathological Society and Society of Nematologists. "The sequence provides plant nematologists with a supermarket of nematode genes to shop from."
The completion of sequencing the C. elegans genome is also significant from the point of view that it is the first complete sequence of a multicellular organism. Yeast was the first organism with an organized nucleus to have its genome completely sequenced, but it is single-celled.
Caenorhabditis elegans is a hermaphroditic, non-segmented roundworm-like animal with skin, muscles, and alimentary, nervous, excretory, and reproductive systems. It contains 959 cells, of which neurons make up a third. The C. elegans sequencing consortium estimated the genome size to be approximately 97 million DNA base pairs (on six chromosome pairs) that encode more than 19,000 genes.
Plant nematologists have concentrated their research efforts on plant parasitic nematodes, which are obligate parasites, requiring a host to complete their life cycles. Though C. elegans is not a plant parasite, it is thought to have many of the "same" genes as plant parasitic nematodes. Scientists who worked on the C. elegans genome project claim that 40% of the nematode genes are essentially the same as in humans.
"This revelation bodes well for plant nematologists studying 'parasitism-related' genes in much closer relatives," says Esnard. "The availability of the genome sequence will facilitate molecular cloning of plant parasitic nematode genes by using primers that match nematode sequences of interest. These are exciting times for plant molecular nematologists because, if gene order is highly conserved, simply sequencing regions adjacent to conserved genes will open up treasures. . . and that's just the beginning."
Fabio Piano, a developmental biologist at Cornell University, agrees and adds that new techniques such as RNA interference, which is the inhibition of gene function through RNA injections, could pave the way to functional analyses in many other nematode species. "In turn, these analyses can be geared toward the discovery of essential nematode genes which can be used as targets for nematode control," Piano says.

Lambda Settles Case Against Broker That Turned Away Gay Renters
Find Your State
Legal Help Desk
Our Sponsors
(NEW YORK, April 14, 2000) -- Lambda Legal Defense and Education Fund announced Friday that it has reached a settlement with the Brooklyn broker charged with unlawful discrimination for refusing to rent a one- bedroom apartment in Park Slope to two gay men.
"The word is out that housing discrimination based on sexual orientation cannot be ignored in New York City," said Lambda Staff Attorney Marvin Peguese, who represented the couple, 21-year-old Gabriel Beaton and 24-year-old Philip Alberti.
"This settlement should be a lasting reminder to brokers, landlords and property owners that rejecting renters solely on the basis of their sexual orientation has been illegal in New York for over sixteen years," he said.
Added Lambda Legal Director Beatrice Dohrn, "In settling the case, this broker has demonstrated a commitment to upholding New York City law against discrimination in housing. All realtors now should take note of this important lesson."
Although exact terms of the settlement are confidential, the broker, F.J. Kazeroid Realty, has agreed to a monetary settlement to compensate the two men for their ordeal. Additionally, all employees of the brokerage will also sign a statement attesting to their understanding and compliance with fair housing laws, and the realtor has agreed to institute anti-discrimination trainings to ensure that future mistakes are avoided.
"Hopefully, as a result of this settlement, other renters will not have to go through this kind of hardship," said Beaton, who along with Alberti was forced to scramble for another apartment after the landlord instructed the broker not to rent his property to gay men. "We put down a deposit and were assured the place was ours, but the landlord's biases threatened to put us out on the street since we had to be out of our old apartment," he said.
On February 16, Lambda filed suit on Beaton and Alberti's behalf in Kings County Supreme Court, charging both the landlord, Harold Vinje of Vinje Realty Corp., and the broker with violating the New York City Human Rights Law. The law prohibits, among others, housing discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation.
After the couple was denied the apartment, a New York City fair housing organization that investigates incidents of discrimination used volunteers posing as gay and non-gay couples, and determined there was a pattern of discrimination against gay renters.
"The case against this discriminatory landlord will go forward. Now, in open court, the landlord will face the weight of compelling evidence of discrimination as well as one of the toughest laws against housing discrimination in the country," Peguese said.
The landlord continues to deny the charges alleged in the complaint. Lambda is the nation's oldest and largest legal organization dedicated to the civil rights of lesbians, gay men and people with HIV/AIDS. Headquartered in New York, Lambda has regional offices in Los Angeles, Atlanta and Chicago.

I purchased a 2010 Porsche from the dealer in mint condition on March 3rd 2013. I did not finance the vehicle and owned it flat out. On april 12th of this year it was stolen from the front of my home. It has been 6 months and Geico still has not paid my claim. I afforded them plenty of time to sort this issue out and even had to go give a statement under oath. Still nothing is done.
I am a business owner and I am losing my store which is closing monday because I can not care for my children and handle this situation that is stressing me out. I had to use my hard earned business funds that are reserved to continue operation of my store to purchase another vehicle. I have children and can not be without a vehicle.
I am in the process of starting a civil suit because my losses are getting out of hand because the lack of service that Geico was supposed to provide. I am going to continue to post my experiance so I can try to help others from going through this. Another thing I am working on is getting on the news which is currently in progress. Luckily my fiance is financially sound and is helping me through these tuff times. He also obtained funding to move forward with the civil suit.
Geico has not paid out my rental reimbursement or my claim. My lawyer is just waiting to see what their next move is and if it is not favorable then the ball will be in motion. To be honest I am getting to the point that I am willing to invest my time and effort to exposing Geico for what they really are.
So as of now:
I do not have my Porsche
I was not reimbursed for my 30 days of rental
My business has failed
and now I own a car that I have to make payments on

While doing sit ups, started experiencing pain and swelling in abdomen and the area between stomach muscles would raise like a hernia. 1 mth later, still have pain / swelling when using stomach muscles. General surgeon said - no hernia, raised area was weakness in tissue between muscle. Could there be more to this, it feels like I ripped something in stomach?

Fallout Shelter
In Stores
This is idea to create a Lego fallout shelter complete with a zombie. This idea started from my original concept for creating zombie sets and booster packs from Lego. I thought a fallout shelter would make a great set that could be built upon or expanded to suit individual fans of Lego.
The set consists of two main sections top and bottom that can be separated for more playability. The top section is the entrance to the shelter while the bottom section is a living or work environment. The bottom section incudes two bricks that would allow for the builder to attach additional structures. I plan to create a secret underground laboratory to attach to my build via a walkway.
This is the lower section complete with computers, shelves containing food and drinks, a toilet and shower, testing and analysis areas and a furnace. I have chosen two scientist figures to occupy the fallout shelter while conducting research in various fields.
Meet Bob the Zombie that I have included in the top section of this project. Did you say hi Bob? He is in a hazmat suit which I think is awesome.
The shelter is situated in a garden growing out of control while the owners are working underground. The blast door has one basic hinge and opens easily while being very durable.
Inside the blast door is a table, a chair, a flask of formula and cup.
The entire back panel for the top section can be removed for better lighting and playability. The two sections can also be separated for easier play while remaining very durable.
I hope this project gains a lot of support especially from fans of the zombie/alien genre. The set could be used in a number of scenarios and would be great for brick films other ideas could be used with aliens, a secret lab, 1950/60's style architecture as these shelters were popular in that era.
This is the top view of the fallout shelter with some overgrowth that could act as camouflage or show signs of a long stay underground.
Inside the work area of the lower level includes a ladder to reach and exit to the top level, supply cupboard, computers, monitors decontamination shower that can pivot left or right, a toilet in the corner and a furnace. located on the walls there are also medical kits.

Thanks all for the great information on the geese rulers and bobbin winder. Lazy Girl Designs has a ruler to help with making the geese that turns out 4 at a time that I may look into...but it won't help on the jelly roll quilt I'm working on. I purchased the sidewinder at Hancock's and I like it so far since the bobbin rewinder on my machine is the only thing that doesn't work good. My machine is 17 years old but a great Bernina that keeps on going....Thanks again for the great feedback.....i love this board!

Corruption is commonly defined as the abuse of public office for private gains. It is a silent crime that is sustained by weak systems and lack of accountability. Corruption is both a cause and a symptom of poor governance. It contributes to poverty by making the poor people pay for services as resources and public money intended for development are siphoned off, undermining government's ability to provide basic services, feeding inequality and injustice and discouraging development assistance.
The consequences of pervasive corruption and the process of democratization will increasingly put pressure on the Government to be accountable and transparent in the performance of its duties.
In 1999, when the country commemorated the Silver Jubilee of His Majesty's progressive and peaceful reign, it was His Majesty's desire that the occasion be an opportunity to take initiatives to enhance the ability of the Government to be sensitive and responsive to the needs of the people and to raise public awareness and determination to prevent the evil of corruption from taking root in our society.
HRH Chhoetse Penlop, addressing the closing session of the 2005 Graduate Orientation said, "The biggest challenges facing Bhutan at the moment are complacency and corruption. I have no doubt that that we can make an impact and a difference in our nation's future and this can be achieved if we are hard working and honest."
Political will is of paramount importance for the Royal Government's drive against corruption. Integrity and incorruptibility of leaders at all levels will be critical in making or breaking the state. In Bhutan, the strong political leadership committed to fighting corruption and promoting an anti-corruption culture at the highest level offers a firm foundation to sincerely address the social sickness. With the strong political will, demonstrated by clear personal examples of senior leaders and sustained enforcement action, Bhutan will be recognized as a country that is serous about countering corruption.
On the 30th Day of the 10th Month of the Wood Bird Year corresponding to 31st December 2005, His Majesty decreed that an Anti-Corruption Commission be established.
The Royal Decree states, "With the rapid pace of economic development in our country, there have been changes in the thinking of the people with the influence of self-interest leading to corrupt practices taking place in both the government and the private sector. If appropriate steps are not taken now to stop this trend, it will lead very serious problems in the future, for both the government and the people, in our country with a very small population. In this regard, it is the responsibility of every Bhutanese to act against corruption in our country.
At a time when we are establishing parliamentary democracy in the country, it is very important to curb and root out corruption from the every beginning. Therefore, it is imperative to establish the Office of the Anti-Corruption Commission before the adoption of the Constitution and build a strong foundation for the Commission to effectively carry out its functions and responsibilities".
As a process towards building the strong foundation, the Anti-Corruption Commission has developed a preliminary paper that defines its mission, values that it will uphold, standards that will be the yardstick of its performance and strategies to achieve its mission.
Vision: To strive towards building a happy, harmonious and corruption free society.
Mission: To eliminate corruption through leading by example, achieving excellence in partnerships, and mainstreaming anti corruption strategies/measures in public/private organizations.
Values:Leadership, teamwork, credibility, integrity, humility, transparency, fearlessness, impartiality, accountability, professionalism, expediency, creativity, tenacity of purpose and result-driven, empathy.

Corporate Advocacy Program™
I designed a website for my Dominatrix Services over a year ago at escortsite.com. In addition for paying for a premium account, I also paid for a custom domain name. Everything was fine for the first year until my domain name came up for renewal.
A week before my domain was set to expire, I paid $20 to CCBill to convert into 20 tokens at escortsite.com. I was going to use the 20 tokens to renew my domain name. Each time I tried to renew the domain, the renewal would "time out" and give me an error stating "domain could not be renewed error xsml 345".
I began to contact escortsite.com when this came to my attention. [continued below]....
I waited and waited and nothing was investigated or corrected. Eventually my domain name expired and my website went down and offline. This was a very bad experience for me as I have worked hard to establish a professional and trustworthy reputation online and in my local community. Customers could no longer find my website online and for all I know, some may have suspected I was flake or wondered why suddenly the website was gone.
When escortsite.com refused to correct the domain renewal issues on their end, I contacted ccbill.com a week later and within 2 days they reversed the $20 charge and refunded it my account. Thank you ccbill!
In the end I gathered any information I could from my escortsite.com user account and left their website completely. I am now using a service called escortbook.com and am extremely happy with the features and the customer services is outstanding.
If you are thinking about building an adult site online to advertise your services, do not waste your time with escortsite.com. They are incompetent and do not care about their registered paying users. You will work hard to build a trustworthy reputation online and it will be tarnished and perhaps even ruined by escortsite.com.
Instead sign up for a service like escortbook.com, a company who actually cares and offers amazing customer support!

Past Event
Steamboat Winter Sports Club Ski & Sport Swap

- Steamboat Springs Middle School, 5100 Amethyst Drive, Steamboat Springs
- Not available / Free - $5
Past Event
Steamboat Winter Sports Club Ski & Sport Swap
- Saturday, November 10, 2012, 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.
- Steamboat Springs Middle School, 5100 Amethyst Drive, Steamboat Springs
- Not available / Free - $5
Steamboat Springs Rick DeVos said the excitement nearly is palpable every autumn when the doors are opened to the Steamboat Springs Winter Sports Club's annual Ski and Sport Swap.
The event is a consignment sale of sorts, with all of Steamboat Springs digging through their winter gear, deciding what they don't need and turning it over for what amounts to a community garage sale.
"Everyone is picking through everything. You can just see the gleam in their eyes," said DeVos, the club's director. "It's a fun, high-energy event."
And it's a great place for anyone looking to make a bit of cash by unloading that old equipment or someone looking to score a sweet deal on last year's technology.
The sale at Steamboat Springs Middle School begins Friday with a special early-bird option starting at 7 p.m. and costing $5 for all shoppers older than 18. It kicks into high gear from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Nov. 10 and is free for everyone.
People hoping to sell their goods can pick up tags from the Winter Sports Club office at Olympian Hall at Howelsen Hill until 5 p.m. Thursday, and they can drop off goods to be sold on consignment — the club will keep 35 percent — from noon to 6:30 p.m. Friday at the middle school.
DeVos said shoppers should stay open minded when considering what they might find.
"There's everything in the winter sports category, and it's not just ski gear," he said. "There is clothing, duffel bags, ice skates, Rollerblades, camping gear and pretty much a little bit of everything."
There will be all that used gear, plus vendors offering new equipment.
DeVos said that after the expenses, the event serves as only a small fundraiser for the club. Far more than that, it's one of the most popular fall events in Steamboat Springs.

Dog adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog and you'll have a friend for life! Contact us, or contact another local humane society, animal shelter or SPCA.
Springfield, VA (Lorton)
Pikesville, MD
Binghamton, NY
Syracuse, NY
We save companion animals from high kill animal control facilities, most are located in poor, rural areas of South Carolina and Georgia. We also take in abandoned, abused, neglected, and stray/homeless animals.
Our goal in rescuing and re-homing animals is to provide them with a safe, loving home for the rest of their life.
Adoption fees vary depending on the animal and are listed in the pet's bio. They help cover medical care received, spay/neuter surgery, vaccinations, microchip, transport costs, and care received during their stay at their rescue group.
Once an application is received, we let you know when it goes to processing. The approval process can take up to 24 hours.
We look forward to hearing from you!!
Why should you adopt?
Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life! What is the difference between adopting a dog or puppy versus getting dogs for sale or puppies for sale from a dog breeder? When someone is breeding puppies, they are creating new dogs who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog or puppy and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale from a puppy breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs who must find homes. So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog or adopt a puppy at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.

I would have to have one or a few of those! Like Glockman, it would make me happy to move away from the AR platform.
I since took off the scope mount and aim point. I like to shoot it iron sites best. You can load with stripper clips from the top if you need to.
Just got a New Krieger barrel for it. Stainless steel 1-12 twist med weight. I have to find some time to put it on.
One thing you may want to look into is a recoil buffer. Keep the gas piston clean, they make tools to get the carbon out. and enjoy. I shot mine so much I am on my second barrel!.. Just love it.
Fast is fine, but accuracy is everything.

I'd own one yesterday if they didn't cost so darn much!
The number of people killed because they didn't have "enough gun" is dwarfed by those who had none at all.
Congrats on the new addition! Let us know how the shooting session turns out. ;-)

Due to a national disaster and concerns over sales of the 3DS, Nintendo has seen a 15 percent drop in its stock price since the handheld system's February 26 release.
According to andriasang, the 3DS has been impeded in its sales numbers due to the amount of games that have been delayed, mostly due to the March 11 earthquake that rocked the northern portion of Japan. A report from investment bank Barclays Capital cited in the article states that entertainment spending for the island nation is down across the board since the earthquake struck last month.
The delay of some 3DS titles could partially be to blame for the handheld's lower than expected sales, which was eclipsed in Japan this week by the Sony PSP.

Into the Walled Garden HTML version
is that I come to work for the salary cheque…"
Under great duress, in times of e xt re me stress,
the human mind processes data like a supercomputer,
flashing scenes and images of life passed our eyes
as the brain tries to find the best way to avoid
losing its connections with our so, so frail bodies.
The silence that follo wed my blaspheming,
maybe ten or fifteen seconds of true quiet,
lasted for what seemed like a sma ll geological
age. I could hear the tectonic plates of our
inspirational speaker?s mind grinding.
Latterly, having more t ime to think, afforded
to me by being between jobs, has made the art
of wa king up much more rewa rding. I have
adopted the creed of doing what I rea lly want to do,
of reading and writ ing, of walking with the dog,
and fully intend to make it my purpose in life
to rise up to the challenge of join ing the board
on the wings of Hermes when ne xt I sign
a contract. I will perfect corporate speak,
and the fla mes of my success will be fanned
by my e xqu isite doing of absolutely nothing
and by my assumption of no responsibility,
oh no, not for me results. I will e mbrace
the project culture, will evangelise and strategise,
evaluating performance, pro moting, assessing
and ema iling everyone in my address book.
I will leave my brain in a bo x under my desk,
joining the ranks of advisers, consultants
and facilitators, e mpowering others to achieve,
just like the mult i-coloured life coaches, who,
in ancient Egypt, must have motivated
the slaves to build the bloody pyramids.
I will look decisive, will speak in acronyms,
adopting jargon as my mother tongue.
I will lunch and will always leave work
a few minutes after time, wa lking the corridors
of power with unread files under my a rm.
I will look busy, committed and on message,
with a square of the finest linen in my top pocket
ready to wipe dribbles fro m my red, red lips
after the lapping of warm milk fro m porcela in
bowls on the fat cat me rry-go-round.

Don't make this mistake!
It is a huge mistake to think that you can pass the all of the CHP exams that will be thrown at you without professional help and thorough preparation. The CHP Exams are not easy—they are not meant to be. Only 3 out of 10 candidates taking the POST pass it. And that's just the first step. That's right! 70% of applicants will fail. Let me show you why...
Here are some questions that are typical of what you will be asked during the CHP selection process.
See how many you can answer correctly, and with absolute confidence...
Judgement and Reasoning: Four witnesses describe a suspect, but there are differences in their descriptions. Can you figure out the most likely description?
A. The suspect wore a red shirt and blue sweat pants.
B. The suspect wore an orange sweatshirt and tan levis.
C. The suspect wore an orange shirt with black pants.
D. The suspect wore and orange shirt with blue pants.
Spelling: What is the correct word for this sentence? "The deputy gave his ____ that the report would be submitted on time."
A. asurance
B. assurence
C. assurance
D. assureance
Vocabulary: Which word means the opposite of INDIGENT?
A. cautious
B. forthright
C. wealthy
D. provocative
Judgement and Reasoning: Witnessing a Drug Deal: You are a CHP officer assigned to a large public event and observe what appears to be a drug deal in progress. You see two teenagers exchange money. Both suspects suddenly see you and start running in opposite directions. What should you immediately do?
Judgement and Reasoning: Problem with another Officer: You and your partner arrest a suspect for a traffic warrant. You feel your partner failed to assist you in this arrest adequately. You felt his lack of action placed you in unnecessary danger. What should you do next?
CLOZE: The CLOZE is a method for measuring Reading Comprehension ability. Are you prepared to pass a 40 question CLOZE within a 40 minute time limit?
Psych Exam: You will be asked hundreds of questions like the following. Strongly Agree, Agree, Neutral, Disagree, Strongly Disagree. Do you know what answers will get you eliminated?
- I believe criminals are sometimes not punished severely enough.
- I often meet people that irritate me.
- I do not always tell the truth
CVSA (Computer Voice Stress Analysis): The CVSA is similar to a polygraph test. Many honest people fail the CVSA because they don't know how to handle it. Are you prepared to pass the CVSA?
I know what you're thinking, "How am I supposed to know the answers to questions like these—I'm not a trained CHP officer!"
You're right, you are not a trained CHP officer, but I will show you how to answer these types of questions and much more to prove you have 'The Right Stuff' to become a California Highway Patrol Officer.

The parents of American Kirsten Steinke, who suffered severe head injuries in a car crash near Waitomo Caves, have not broken the news to her that husband Kallan Stithem was killed in the accident.
Jim Steinke said his only child was improving faster than predicted from the September 20 crash at the intersection of State Highway 3 and Waitomo Caves Rd.
But the 28-year-old, who is in Waikato Hospital, was not yet aware of everything that had happened.
"She's aware she's been in an accident. We're just not sure of any of those things just yet."
Ms Steinke and Mr Stithem, 31, had been married less than a week and were on their honeymoon when they were hit by a cement truck at the intersection.
The pair had been emailing home every day about their "fabulous" trip.
"The heart-rending part is Kallan was happy and joyous, up to that moment," Mr Steinke said.
Police said Mr Stithem failed to give way at the intersection, where a Canadian tourist was also killed this year.
Waikato Hospital trauma specialist Dr Grant Christey said Ms Steinke was in a "pretty terrible state" when she arrived at the emergency department.
"It was a massive high-speed crash, she had multiple injuries. It was a very distressing situation for all. However ... all of the services that needed to be involved in her care were there and got to her straight away to try to get the best outcome."
Ms Steinke spent two weeks in a coma in intensive care before being moved to the hospital's high dependency unit and later a ward.
Mr Steinke said the tragedy had been hard on him and wife Gerri.
"We get the phone call no parent ever wants to get, hearing about my son-in-law and my daughter. It's just as awful as can possibly be imagined."
Together with Mr Stithem's parents, Gary and Jean, the couple flew to New Zealand to be at their daughter's bedside.
Two weeks ago, "it was a very dark view", he said, but since then Kirsten's recovery had progressed more quickly than expected and the family were preparing to fly home this week. There, a lengthy rehabilitation would continue.
"Every day her life comes back to her and she's more and more capable of looking at a full life again."

Great electrolyte product. Much preferred to my usual Emergen-C, due to packaging (much less waste) and versatility in how much to make at once. great item. Note that it's not sugar but stevia sweetened. I bought it for that reason as I'm glycemic sensitive. It is quite sweet...takes a little getting used to.

Well - it's twice the volume of most containers of the Ultima Replenisher in Orange flavor. It's not easy to find this larger size in stores, and I've even had trouble finding it online. Thanks, iHerb, for stocking this product! I like that it's got the most health-conscious ingredients (compared to other electrolytes on the market). I work and hike in the desert on Southern CA mountains, and these electrolytes help me feel much better throughout the day. I can really feel the boost after drinking them (mixed with Emergen-C) after lunch. Keeps me strong through the afternoon. I love 'em!

You won't find a better, more natural electrolyte supplement on the market. I had heard that some Elder Care Org's had added this to the daily supplements for their elderly folks. I do Bikram yoga and if I cycle through 24oz's each day, and my hydration level is very well balanced. Love this product.

Product Description
Did you know that Hippopotamus is a combination of two Greek words meaning water and horse? We're not sure how they got that idea. Did they ride them through rivers back then? Were they maybe a little bit thinner during the Ancient Greek times? We're not sure but we are more certain that they look like water elephants. Either way they are a sweet animal and sometimes we wish that we could be like them and hang out in the water all day, don't you?
If you've always dreamed of being a hippopotamus for Halloween, this Hippo Latex Mask gives you your chance. Find a nice stretch of river and establish your territory. Wear this mask with gray pants and shirt. Did you know that the nearest relative to a hippo is actually a whale? (Maybe the horse comes from the Hippo after that then!)

Fever 57 Magic 51
Irene van Dyk has unleashed a stinging attack on the aggressive defensive tactics employed by the West Coast Fever after her side's 14-game winning streak came to an end in Perth.
After copping a battering under the goal by Fever defenders Eboni Beckford-Chambers and Josie Janz, van Dyk came out swinging herself in the post-match interview, claiming the pair "got away with murder".
It has become a rather tiresome scenario: the Kiwi teams complaining about the physicality of the Australian sides after a loss. But this is the first time the usually unflappable van Dyk, who is always the target of opposition defences, has spoken out about rough treatment.
"I've been playing netball for a very long time, and I can honestly say I have never come across a defensive pair that are as physical and get away with murder," the 40-year-old super shooter said after the match.
"There's a fine line between playing with skill and coming out and being dirty, and I think they crossed the line."
Van Dyk's comments are certain to kick off round two of the debate over physicality in the transtasman league following Pulse shooter Donna Wilkins' angry outburst last week after she was felled by cynical elbow in the back from Firebirds' defender Laura Geitz.
Copping close attention from the defence, van Dyk was unable to find any room to move in the shooting circle, and was restricted to just 15 goals in 60 minutes of netball.
With their key scoring weapon looking hassled and harried and making unusual mistakes, the Magic attack became hesitant and were unable to get any flow through the court. Losing goal attack Jess Waitapu to a rib injury late in the first quarter didn't help the Magic's cause, with her replacement Ellen Halpenny struggling to settle into her rhythm.
While the Magic's movement on attack looked slow and laboured, the Fever looked effortless moving the ball through the court.
Eager to prove their 80-53 demolition of the Mystics last weekend was no fluke, the clinical and composed Fever attack line made the most of every turnover, easily finding their 1.93m shooting machine Caitlin Bassett under the goal.
Trailing by 14 goals heading into the final period, a 20-12 final quarter from the Magic brought the scoreline back to a more respectable deficit, but in reality the Fever looked in control for all but the opening six minutes of the match.
It was the Magic's first loss to the Fever in six seasons, having recorded two of their rare victories on Australian soil in Perth. The Waikato-Bay of Plenty side now have a week off to mull over the defeat - their first since round four in 2012 - as the head into a bye week.
