Chinese Bows Were Superior, Too
From Ideas Market:
Western European armies gave up bows and arrows hundreds of years ago, but they remained in use in China into the 1800s—even though the Chinese had beaten the West to the development of guns. Why?
A physicist at Australia's University of Queensland offers a partial answer: Asian craftsmen created a bow whose physical properties were so impressive that they continued to offer advantages over slow-loading guns, despite guns' greater power.
The key to the Central Asian bow, writes Timo Nieminen—reader-friendly summary here—was its composite structure. The side facing the archer was crafted of horn (which can endure tremendous compression), while the side facing the target was a glue-and-sinew composite (which can endure the tension caused by flex). A central portion of wood joined the two sides.
The bows were costly to produce—it might take a year for the glue-sinew composite to dry, by some reports—and they didn't travel well: They couldn't endure Western European humidity, for example.
The brilliant construction allowed the creation of bows that were simultaneously more powerful and less unwieldy than Western bows. Chinese craftsmen (and Mongol weapon-fashioners, too) could vary the length of the bows depending on whether the goal was distance, accuracy, or armor-piercing potency. In the arms race against gunmakers, they held their own for an astonishingly long time.

"Chicago can be stiflingly hot during the summer and rain-chilled in the spring, and its wind-whipped winters are the stuff of legend. So when the subject is "bicycle commuting," Chicago is not the first city that springs to mind. But it's becoming a hot bike-to-work town. In the next decade, it plans to expand its network of bike trails to 500 miles, and has set a goal of putting a bike path of some sort within half a mile of every city resident."

Wedding Style: How To Avoid Upstaging The Bride
This weekend, Hubs and I had the privilege of attending the nuptials of our dear friends Steve and Brie English. Since the "aftermath" of my miscarriage has left me feeling less than attractive and since I did, after all, deserve a present for my surgical procedure, I decided to buy a new dress for the wedding. Weddings always present an interesting fashion dilemmna for me: While I want to look cute, it's not MY day to shine.
The dress I chose for Steve and Brie's wedding is one of the more "edgy" ensembles I've worn to someone else's big day, but ultimately, I felt confident in my choice. Here's a few tips for choosing a wedding style that makes you feel pretty without raising eyebrows:
- Consider the time of the wedding- Evening weddings (those that start after 4 p.m.) tend to be more dressy than daytime ceremonies. If the reception is going to have you partying well into the night, it's fine to pull out that new Herve Leger bandage dress you've been dying to wear; but if the sun is up for the entire event, you might want to consider something a bit more casual.
- Know the color scheme- If the bride chose royal blue and black for her decorations and/or bridesmaids dresses, don't even think about wearing the same color. Dresses with patterns are usually a safe choice for any wedding, unless the linens have a paisley print or something. Then again, unless you're under 10 or over 65, you probably shouldn't be wearing paisley print dresses in the first place…
- Evaluate the bride- Like I said, my dress was a bit more risque than most of the ones I wear to weddings, but I am fairly good friends with Brie and know that she appreciates fun, fashionable attire herself. I figured she wouldn't mind me wearing a more adventurous look. If you don't know the bride very well or if she's got some self-confidence issues, you might want to tone down your look.
- Avoid wardrobe malfunctions- Weddings mean dancing and if the outfit you want to wear will likely result in flashing someone while on the dance floor, you can leave it hanging in your closet. In my opinion, dresses that are too short (e.g.- show your panties when you bend over) or too low cut should never have been purchased in the first place, but if you do own them, save them for the club, not the nuptials.

This exhibition of prints was the result of an exciting collaboration with the vibrant printmaking workshop Graphic Studio Dublin, based on the northside of Dublin. The show featured contemporary prints and works from the Gallery's world renowned collection of paintings and drawings. The artists had the freedom to explore the idea of revelation in whatever way they choose. The prints created referred to religious faith, intellectual discovery and science and nature. The catalogue featured images of all the works in the show with texts by the artists, an introductory essay by the curator Anne Hodge and a wide ranging exploration of the idea of revelation by Mark Patrick Hederman OSB, philosopher and writer.

Oh those funny guys over at Motorola really crack us up! Today they invited eager Apple punters to leave the iPad 2 queues to someone else and order a Motorola Xoom online instead. Yeah, right!
With media and fanboy hype at an all-time high just 24 hours before the iPad 2 goes on sale in the UK, Motorola suggests buyers would be better off going for a swift pint and ordering their shiny new tablet online instead – so long as it's a Xoom of course.
Not keen to waste the finest weather we've had in ages waiting in a queue? Idea of surviving overnight on mundane take-away with some frankly questionable queue buddies leave you cold? Fear not friends, ditch the winter coat, head out for a pint and pre-order your Motorola Xoom online instead!
Good look guys, I'm not convinced many of the Apple faithful will be taking you up on that offer I'm afraid.
Now that Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1, that's a different story….

Xbox Live Indie Game Does Better in a Week on Steam than a Year on Live
Posted on Thursday, July 21 @ 11:50:59 PST by Daniel Bischoff
If you're like me, you probably visit the Indie Games section of the Xbox Live Marketplace once a week. You probably look around, see what's good, and buy a game or two for $2. You probably play those games for an hour a piece and then move on to the next thing. Unfortunately, not enough of you are like me.
That's why Zeboyd Games is happy to announce that their formerly Xbox Live Indie games Cthulhu Saves the World and Breath of Death VII have been doing very well with PC gamers, particularly those on Steam:
The developer also mentions that they recently released their wares on Gamesgate as well. I wonder how well either of these games would have done if it weren't for all the positive word of mouth they'd received prior to their Steam release. As a proud owner of both titles, I'd say that a year of good sales on Xbox Live probably helped their profile in moving to another platform.
If you need more happy-story-time, know that Zeboyd fans actually donated the money to fund the porting process for Cthulhu Saves the World, including new content that's available with both Steam and Xbox Live Indie Games releases of the title.
I can't wait to see what project Zeboyd turns around next with their new monetary security.

Black and white documents with gray tones, or black and white photos:
Black and white documents with pure text:
Spine: If the spine is particularly decorative (e.g., containing illustrations, calligraphy, embossed
lettering, etc.) or the book is particularly rare or valuable, you will want to include the spine. Otherwise, it is not
necessary to scan the spine.
Cover: Does the cover include at a minimum the title of the work or the author? A cover should generally be scanned.
Cover verso: Does the cover verso include textual information or decorative end papers that add value to
the content? If not, omit scanning. Always scan a map or chart illustrating the front or back cover verso.
Back cover: Is the back cover in a decorative binding that adds value and interest to the digital
facsimile? If not, omit scanning.
Back cover verso: Does the back cover verso include textual information or decorative end papers that
add value to the content? If not, omit scanning. Always scan a map or chart illustrating the front or back cover verso.
Jacket: If the jacket contains any information that is not duplicated by the cover or cover verso, you
will probably want to scan the jacket. If you choose to scan the jacket, scan all sides that contain useful information or
illustration. Be aware that jacket illustrations are generally separately covered by copyright, so if the book is still in
copyright, you will need appropriate permission from the rights holder for the jacket illustration.
Front matter: Front matter includes any pages that precede the primary content or text. It can include
decorative front pages that may provide maps or illustrations, the dedication, autograph of the author, half title page,
initial illustration, title page, preface or forward and table of contents. Each is discussed in turn:
Decorative front pages: Decorative front pages that add artistic value or content, through maps and
illustrations, should generally be scanned. If the decorative front pages are repeated on the decorative end pages, you
will generally scan only front or end pages, not both, unless the resource is valuable or rare.
Dedication: A dedication should generally be digitized.
Autograph of the author: An autograph of the author can appear anywhere in the front matter, but
commonly appears on the title page or half title page. Any page with the author's autograph should be digitized, even
if the page is otherwise blank.
Half title page: Many books include a half title page that includes only the title of the book, sometimes
abbreviated to omit the subtitle. Author information may or may not be included. If the information on the half title page
is duplicated on the title page, use your judgment about digitizing. Generally, if the resource is considered valuable or rare,
you will want to digitize the half title page. Otherwise, you will probably omit scanning. If in doubt, digitize the half title page.
Half title page verso: Generally, this page will be blank and should not be digitized. However, if text
appears on the half title page verso, and you have digitized the half title page, then digitize the verso.
Title page: The title page will always be digitized.
Title page verso: The title page verso will usually include copyright, printing and publication
information. If any text appears on this page, it should be digitized.
Preface or forward: If the preface or forward is separately numbered from the main text or unnumbered,
it is considered front matter. Any useful text such as a preface or forward should be digitized.
Initial illustration: All illustrations should be digitized.
Table of Contents: The table of contents will always be digitized.
Back matter: Back matter includes any index, bibliography/footnotes, afterword or postscript, ending
illustration or decorative end pages. Each is discussed in turn.
Index and bibliography: If the index, bibliography/footnotes are separately numbered from the main
text or are unnumbered, they are considered back matter. They should always be digitized.
Afterword or Postscript: If the afterword or postscript is separately numbered from the main text
or are unnumbered, it should be considered back matter. It should always be digitized.
Ending illustration: All illustrations should be digitized.
Decorative end pages: Decorative end pages that add artistic value or content, through maps and
illustrations, should generally be scanned. If the decorative front pages are repeated on the decorative end pages, you
will generally scan only front or end pages unless the resource is valuable or rare.
Pages of Plates: Books often include unnumbered or separately numbered pages of plates. These should always be digitized.
Ideas, concepts and descriptions flow forward in consecutive order in a book or document. If pages appear out of order
in the concatenated text, the book becomes meaningless to the reader.
Each page in a book or document needs to be scanned as an archival-quality TIFF for long-term preservation of the
information contained on each page. However, since each TIFF is a discrete and independent digital file, it is possible for
those pages to be stored and reassembled in a way that does not provide the consecutive, forward flow of information.
A structure map serves as an "inventory" of the complex object's contents, much as a "table of contents" in the printed book,
so that computer programs can reassemble the individual pages in the correct order. Many organizations use "page turner"
applications to page through TIFF images (or low-resolution JPEGs of the TIFF images).
NJDH is currently creating a structure map based on consecutive page numbering for all master TIFF images, as part of a
METS metadata document for the multi-page resource. Ultimately, this structure map will be expanded to include an indication
of the information contained on each page (e.g., illustration, title page, table of contents, etc.)
In the interests of ease of use for display and navigation, NJDH is currently creating PDF and DJVu web display formats
for multi-page resources. PDF and DJVu are both widely used digital text web viewing formats that create structured multi-page
documents with page turning capabilities.
When digitizing multi-page resources for NJDH, you will only need to digitize each page as a high resolution TIFF according
to the digitizing requirements provided above. The NJDH pipeline will create the structure map and the PDF and DJVu web access
copies of the document.
File naming should be simple enough to reflect the consecutive structure of the book.
NJDH recommends naming the document mnemonically or to reflect its location on shelves, to link the analog source
document to the digital surrogate:
A simple method is to combine author last name and first meaningful word of title,
Another method is to use the LC or Dewey Classification number or collection locator, to link the analog source and digital surrogate.
Volume numbering
Add volume numbering using simple abbreviations, e.g.,
NJDH recommends simple consecutive numbering for all files, beginning with the spine (if digitized) and front cover, through the back cover.
Use three leading zeroes before the first number (0001). As you move into two digit numbers, this will become 2 leading zeroes, etc. (0010).
Separate numbering from the textual identifier with an underscore, e.g,:

Once again, BlogHer 2011 swag comes through — this time with logo items from the online coupon site Retail Me Not. Some other odds and ends, too.
My great-nephew is 10 years old. I expect this is his last year of believing in Father Christmas. No doubt he'll return to school on Jan. 3 saying, "Santa Claus brought me a Kinect and two of the 'Heroes of Olympus" books!' and some cynical fifth-grader will reply, "Dude, your mom bought those gifts."
This year, though, he still believes. Witness the note he left on the kitchen table.
"War Horse"? "Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol"? "We Bought a Zoo"? "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo"? "The Adentures of Tintin"?
Let me buy the first two tickets.
No, I am not kidding. Picture a 43-foot-tall artificial tree draped with more than $11 million worth of jewelry and precious stones.
If you want to get a closer look, you'll have to travel to the Emirates Palace Hotel in Abu Dhabi. But not too close a look — the tree has four guards.
The winner of the two subscriptions to All You magazine has been chosen, so if you didn't hear from me it wasn't you.
The response to the giveaway was so enthusiastic that I plan to do it again at some point — and in the meantime, the magazine is providing a little holiday consolation prize.

Central Bank to cut interest rate on home loans
The Central Bank chief, however, made it clear that the reduction of interest rates by 0.25 to 0.5 pc would only be on selected products.
New Delhi: State-owned Central Bank of India on Friday said it will cut interest rates on housing and other loans by up to 0.5 per cent from September 1. "We have decided to reduce the rate of interest on the car loans. We have decided (to cut)... housing loan rate by 25 to 50 basis on houses between Rs 30-35 lakh. These will be effective from September 1," Central Bank of India Chairman and Managing Director MV Tanksale saids.
The decision to lower rate comes within a week of Finance Minister P Chidambaram asking the PSU banks to cut interest rates with a view to boosting sales of consumer goods and promoting growth. The Minister had cited the example of SBI on how EMI reduction boosted sales of cars.
"We all appreciate and agree that there is a necessity for fuelling the growth engine...the best way to fuel the growth engine is to offer some consumer durable loans at a lesser rate," Tanksale said.
The Central Bank chief, however, made it clear that the reduction of interest rates by 0.25 to 0.5 per cent would only be on selected products.
The Central Bank, he added, was not contemplating reduction in base rate -- the minimum interest rate below which bank does not provide credit.
Commenting on SBI Chairman Pratip Chaudhuri's suggestion of doing away with the Cash Reserve Ratio (CRR), Tanksale said, "the only thing I would like to say (is) that 3 per cent CRR should be there".
Moreover, he added, "these are the monetary tools in the hands of the regulator (RBI). CRR cut will help me in more liquidity at a lesser cost".
Tanksale also pitched for increasing lending to the Small and Medium Enterprises (SME) and other priority sector like agriculture.

Athol Fugard's early novel gets a new life on the back of a film
Athol Fugard's early novel gets a new life on the back of a film version.
Athol Fugard novel is clearly written by a playwright.
Photo: Ann Johansson/New York Times
This is a playwright's only novel, and it shows. So many scenes in Athol Fugard's allegorical treatment are two-handers set against some spare backdrop - two gangsters fighting in a grog shop; a hoodlum in conversation with a cripple by the side of a road; a bossy white housekeeper nagging an elderly gardener in a church yard.
Fugard's novel displays a playwright's enthusiasm for freighted dialogue and carefully choreographed actions, and lacks the imagery that provides the soft furnishing in many books - in this one, landscapes are sketched quickly with the help of cheap props, such as a pair of trousers in an alleyway or bags in a grocery shop.
Fugard wrote and then abandoned this novel in 1961. It was unearthed by research students rifling through the South African playwright's papers in the late 1970s and then polished for publication. But it still reads like the framework for something that needs to be developed on stage - or, indeed, on film. The movie adaptation of Tsotsi is shortlisted for an Oscar for Best Foreign Film.
The eponymous lead, Tsotsi, is a character stripped down to elementals - no morality, no memory, no history. If he had any conversation, he could be a role in something from Beckett. As it is, this silent, terrifying creature brings a pause well beyond the Pinteresque to every scene.
"He allowed himself no thought of himself. He remembered no yesterdays, and tomorrow existed only when it was the present, living moment. He was as old as that moment, and his name was the name, in a way, of all men."
He is called Tsotsi, the generic word for thug in South African townships. He remembers no other name, and the three other hoods who form his gang have learned the hard way not to ask him questions: "No one knew anything about him except that he was the hardest, quickest, the cleverest there had ever been and that once somebody had tried to find out something and he was dead."
When we meet him, he tells his gang it's time to "take one on the trains", meaning to murder someone for their pay packet. Fugard takes us briefly into the back story of the victim, Gumboot Dhlamini, returning to his young wife after a year in the mines. But we leave him on the train, a sharpened bicycle spoke through his heart and his pocket empty.
The real crux of the story is not murder but mercy.
When Tsotsi assaults a woman on the street one bleak night, she shoves a shoebox in his hands and runs off. Opening the lid, he sees a small wizened face, crying. Tsotsi is left holding the baby. Literally. But the man who kills just to feel alive does not do away with the infant. Moved by impulses he cannot understand, he keeps it and, in his fumbling way, tries to keep it alive. He can no longer be a killer. When Tsotsi enters a grocer's, the shopkeeper prepares to scream, the wife flees to the back of the house. But Tsotsi comes to buy baby milk.
Later, he will spare the life of an amputee beggar, and his victim is amazed by his own desire to live. Turning on his attacker, the cripple proclaims his joy in being alive: "I say it after many years of thinking I was dead and tomorrow was nothing except maybe the day when the rest of me would be buried with the other pieces."
Tsotsi proves so desperate to keep these new feelings alive that he forces a young mother at knifepoint to breastfeed "his" baby. Later she will do it voluntarily.
Fugard uses the moments of inchoate emotions to rewind through Tsotsi's mysterious past. It is no great stretch to see the malnourished baby as Tsotsi's own alter ego, another child crying out for the milk of human kindness. It's that literal.
What is most striking about Tsotsi is that it is not a pointed political work. Although it is set in a shantytown at the height of apartheid, the story wrestles with questions that have endured well beyond the white regime. The film adaptation is set in present day Johannesburg. The baby abduction story is changed for the screen, but the poverty and violence did not require much of an update.
And, although Tsotsi could represent those terrifying teenage boys who roam urban no-go zones waving scavenged Russian guns, the questions Fugard explores are not especially African. These dead-eyed boys walk all sorts of streets. When someone is brutalised from childhood, how can the gentler emotions regenerate?
Fugard is not suggesting any scheme to give young sociopaths some orphan babies to cuddle, but he has written an intriguing parable about our worst and best impulses.

Michael was praying for God to help him find the woman who would be the love of his life, and in his prayers, the 52-year-old from New York was making himself available to go anywhere on earth. God took him up on it, and sent him to Australia.
It was Michael's birthday and the greetings were coming in. One emotigram came from Rosemary, a 49-year-old from Tasmania. Her charming emote wished him birthday greetings "from a lassie in Tassie."
There was no thought of an international romance—just the thought that no harm ever came from saying hello—that led Mike to respond, and for the next five months he and Rosemary got to know each other online through messages and chats.
"We realized we were finding each other more and more interesting," Rosemary recalled. "Finally we shared an e-mail where questions were asked and answered and we decided we needed to meet."
Any long-distance relationship brings its own set of challenges, and those are multiplied when one goes global, so perhaps it was ironic that Rosemary's visit Stateside began with her stepping off the plane and into a snowstorm. But the snowstorm and the ensuing trip were symbolic in another way—it established that if the couple made it past the difficulties, something special was on the other side.
"We met, held hands…looked at each other's faces for the first time," Rosemary told CatholicMatch. "I stayed a short 14 days but it was long enough to confirm that we loved each other and wanted to be together for the rest of our lives."
Mike came to Australia, to spend time meeting Rosemary's family and friends, and also flew her and her daughter out to New York again so the teenage girl could see where her new home would be.
The process that Rosemary called "The Immigration Journey" last 14 months, and struggle was part of the package. From Skype not always being consistent, to pricey phone calls and exorbitant airline costs—they continued to travel back and forth—Mike and Rosemary paid the price for happiness. "We both know that it strengthened us, Rosemary says. "We've conquered this, we can conquer anything."
Today they are married and settled into their new lives. A lot of prayer, including a yearlong novena, went into finding the right person and a lot of work went into making it possible. "But we have made it," Rosemary concluded, "and we still thank God and all the saints for the joy of being together daily for the rest of our lives."

@bfornshellLocale: Southern Texas
This Thread has 'timed-out".
I too made a homebrew cozy (for the 600), but out of the reflectix (sp?) material, not neoprene. Weight 0.8oz. It's a very similar design to the AntiGravityGear cozies. Works great, and was easy to make.
This looks like a good idea. Has anyone figured out how long you have to wait to place the pot into the cozy after removing from the flame?
Will placing directly into the cozy from the stove melt the neoprene?
@jdmitchLocale: Kansas
As soon as you take your pot off of the flame the outer layer of the pot (assuming you're not using some behemothly thick cast iron monstrousity) will immediately cool to 212 deg F, tops… from what I've read, neoprene should have no problems with that…
want proof? If a jet-boil is boiling, the inner surface of the neoprene cozy they use will be exactly 212 deg F (assuming conditions near sea level, higher altitudes will result in lower temps)… I've never heard of anyone complaining that their jetboil cozy metled.
@jdmitchLocale: Kansas
Is that lid the standard lid that it come with, or did you make your own?
@eredluinLocale: Northeast
Bill , What about a Cozy for a Fosters can? What do you think?

text: This is one of those on again off again projects that I've been working on for some time. It's loosely based on the Gnome type N nine cylinder. I originally intended to actually use it on a radio controlled quarter scale Nieuport 28, so I thought it would be wise to actually build two engines at the same time, just in case. Besides, most of the work in parts like this is in set-up so an extra set is actually very little extra work. So far I've completed the crankshaft, front and rear crankcase covers, cams, most of the parts associated with spark timing and the cylinder liners. I also got a good start on the finned part of the cylinders and I made a somewhat lame first attempt at casting the crankcase. I still need to make the master and slave connecting rods, pistons, re-design and build the valve train assembly (I don't care for the original design), and recast the crankcase. I also need to make some spark plugs at some point. Tom


text: Volkswagen Genuine Accessories Extends Its Touareg Program Share Comments Experience pure freedom: Whether driving through a river, climbing spectacular gradients up to 45° or crossing ditches, the Volkswagen Touareg can handle almost any challenge. It combines off-road power with the highest level of on-road comfort. Numerous awards confirm its excellent attributes: Readers of the magazine "Auto Bild alles allrad" recently voted the Touareg the "four-wheel-drive vehicle of the year 2004" in the luxury segment. The extended Volkswagen Genuine Accessories programme emphasises the Touareg's distinctive and unique off-road appearance even further. One prominent highlight for example is the new under run guard that shields the vehicle's sensitive front and rear chassis elements from dirt, stones, and the effects of ground contact. The Volkswagen Touareg is a comfortable luxury vehicle that offers the handling and precision of a saloon car. However, its true potential comes to light when it leaves the road. It overcomes any obstacle with ease: No pothole is too deep, no incline too steep and no ridge too slanted. When navigating tough routes and slopes, the new under run guard from the Volkswagen Genuine Accessories range is exactly the right choice: Made of four-millimetre-thick, high-quality ABS plastic, it doesn't give dirt or stones the chance to mess up or damage the front and rear under body. The under run guard is available in the colours anthracite or silver. If required, it can be painted in the color of the car. The trims for the twin tailpipe silencer for the left and right side of the Touareg serve as an attractive com-plement. With a diameter of 76 millimetres each, the four pipes complete the optically strong overall impression made by the off-road specialist. The tailgate spoiler adds to the reserved yet effective styling. Another visual high-light is the mirror trim set, which comes in the colours anthracite, silver or, alternatively, fully chromed. Made of strong plastic, these trims can be fitted to wing mirrors with a minimum of effort. The scuff plates with Touareg lettering are both eye-catching and useful, especially the illuminated version with glass inserts for the rear-door sills. Sporty rims and complete wheels for the winter . . . Volkswagen Genuine Accessories has considerably widened its offer for the Touareg once again, particularly with regard to wheels and tyres. Three new complete winter wheels will be launched in time for the cold season, providing the Touareg with increased driving safety even on snow-covered slopes. These include the Tangis complete winter wheel set for the V6 or V8 petrol-version of the Touareg, comprising 6-spoke light alloy wheels (7.5J x 17″) and high-grip Dunlop Grand Trek WT M2 XL tyres (235/65 R17). Drivers of the Touareg R5 TDI should choose the Suez (7.5J x 17″) 6-spoke light alloy wheels and Dunlop Grand Trek M2 XL tyres (235/65 R17). Complete winter power for the V6, V8, V10 TDI and fans of larger wheels is provided by 18-inch Karthoum wheels that offer perfect optical characteristics – the 5-spoke light alloys (8J x 18″) not only look superb but, in combination with Dunlop Grand Trek M2 XL tyres (235/60 R18), also offer fantastic traction on any condition of road. . . . and for the summer The complete summer wheel Namib unifies optical finesse and driving comfort: For the first time ever, a genuine 19-inch wheel is now available for the Touareg R5 TDI – the most widely purchased vehicle in the range. The 7-spoke light alloy wheel is fitted with Pirelli Zero Rosso (275/45 R19) tyres. One main advantage: All complete winter wheels from the Volkswagen Genuine Accessories range can be used with the standard wheel nuts and also come with a hub-cap featuring the VW logo. Votex GmbH, a fully owned subsidiary of Volkswagen AG, is specialised in developing and distributing genuine accessories for the Volkswagen brand. All genuine accessories are created in close collaboration with de-signers to ensure that they suit the respective vehicle perfectly in both form and function. Genuine accessories stand out due to their optimum fit, maximum safety and reliability as well as their individual form. Volkswagen Genuine Accessories' are available exclusively from all Volkswagen partners. For more discussion on this story, click on the link to our discussion forums at the left.

I'm 24 yrs old. Will getting my forehead lowered is a better option than hair transplant to achieve smaller forehead? (photos)
I asked about a hair transplant already and the replies said because of my age I should start with medication. I heard that propecia can stop a receding hairline but can't grow hair where it's already fallen out. I really hate how big my forehead looks because of my hair line and it's all crooked now and just makes my whole face look out of proportion. I've tried the bald look and just didn't suit me at all. I'm tired of wearing hats and want to nip this in the bud before it's to late! Thanks!

Desperate for hair? Surgery? Propecia?
You obviously have a signficant balding pattern that is better addressed a bit later in life. However, many young men have hair transplants, frontal flaps and hairline lowering/forehead reduction operations after being fully informed of the future permanence of the result. These hair restoration surgeries can often give you the the full looking head of hair results you are looking for lasting about 10 years and often many more. These years can be very important for career, social life and self confidence and hair can be very important . Future work may need to be done and this must be understood. See a hair restoration specialist and (more than one) and understand the options.
I agree that Propecia will not give you the full looking front hair coverage you are after. It certainly may help maintain a good surgical result for a longer time.

Hair transplant
Your best option is to consult with a hair transplant specialist. You are only 24 and unfortunately your hair is more than likely to continue to recede. You will not want a forehead lowering procedure as the scar will be noticeable once the hair recedes past the current hairline. It is a good procedure for women and men without receding hairline.
Hair loss is not treated in males by lowering the hairline since baldness always progresses.
Hair loss is not treated in males by lowering the hairline since baldness always progresses. The hair loss can be treated with transplants or with The Fleming Mayer Flap. Each has advantages and disadvantages so see a surgeon who does both before proceeding.

i kinda think that its stupid that the digi games are just as expensive as physical discs , sure it could money to maintain the servers and what not but it still does if no one buys it and it has to be cheaper then giving a profit to the stores and production of covers and discs.
but i rarely buy digi games at full price due to ps+ and mostly due to the fact that if i import a game with day 1 delivery its still at least 30% cheaper then going to the store or full price on psn. and sometimes i get it before release day in Europe.
the only game i can remember doing it with was ni no kuni since i wanted that game right now and there were non in the store

Yeah, sometimes. If I can't make it to a gamestop. I'll go buy a psn card from a local store, and download the game from home.
Most the digital games (at least in the Uk i don't know about other regions) are usually £10 or sometimes more expensive than buying a retail copy of the game some games selling at £50-£60 when the usual price at a retail is usually about £30-£40 tops depending on the game for what you would call a new full priced game. I would love to buy digitally if the prices weren't so stupidly priced.

Yes, when Injustice came out I was not in a position to pick up a retail copy for a few days so I bought it digitally.
I think I bought and downloaded Infamous 2 around the time it came out.
Sometimes you don't want to wait for Amazon to ship you one and it's evening and you don't want to go to a store because you are already in your underwear...

Vita games, i buy them all the time but that is down to the fact that there ain't any store that stock them here.
The only one I ever bought at full price ($59.99) was Saints Row IV off PSN. I couldn't wait for a price drop, and the PSN does not charge tax.. here in Canada (Ontario) tax is 13%, so I saved $7.80. That's fairly substantial, so I think I will be buying mostly digitally in the future.. I never trade in my old games anyway.. sure the box is nice to have, but not worth the extra $7.80 to me.
That depends on a lot of factors - mostly on whether or not I'm certain I'll want to keep the game forever - or at least for the life of my console. I'm giving up my rights when I buy it digitally, so the game needs to be worth that sacrifice.
Everyone talks about how digital should be cheaper than physical because of shipping costs, production costs, how much of a cut the retailer gets, but I feel like those costs are fairly insignificant in the grand scheme of things. The reason I think digital games should be cheaper than physical games is because when I have a physical game, I can do whatever I want with it. I can keep it forever, I can give it as a gift, I can trade it or sell it to a store, sell it to a friend, or light it on fire. I feel like the right to do what I want with the item I own is what I'm paying the extra money for , and when I buy a digital game, I'm giving up all of those rights and all of those options.

*raises hand* Another UK user here, and like all the others, I don't bother with digital games over physical.
I can either buy the physical version for £35-£40 or I can get the digital PSN/XBL version for £40-£60 depending on the game. If that's how they price games now I shudder to think what would happen if consoles did go down the road of being digital only. If we went a full console generation without being fucked like that maybe I might be able to get on board with digital games. Until that time though? Fuck digital.
Last game I bought full price was Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch
rest of them on ebay or digital sales via PSN. and of course PSPlus ;)

Only game I bought at full price on PSN was Injustice although I didn't pay sales tax so it wasn't really full price.
Out of convenience, though I am a PS+ member and a lot of the games in my library are part of IGC.
But I have bought NCAA 13, Madden 13, NCAA 14, The Last of Us and Bioshock Infinite digitally at full price (I think I had a PSN Card for NCAA/Madden 13). There's a good chance I'll get GTAV digitally as well.

If I am paying full price for a game where I can choose between a disc and a download I will always opt for the disc. I have never paid full price for a game that is also on a disc, but I have for many XBLA and PSN smaller releases.

Yup. My stance of "fuck stuff" carries strong. If I can get a game digitally that's the way I'm going. My once full of games bookcase is now down to maybe a shelf.

I'll pay full price if it's an older game I can't find locally or rarely as an impulse buy. I still enjoy getting a physical box and looking at artwork and a manual if there is one. Having done most of my gaming on PC the past year though I imagine I'll start buying more games digitally at full price on PS4 as I've gotten used to the convenience.

Council Rejects Water Rate Hikes
(Cincinnati) -- Greater Cincinnati Water Works wanted to raise water rates by 7.5%, but Vice Mayor David Mann suggested a 4% hike.
The water company's proposal would only affect customers in Cincinnati and Hamilton County. The increase is a result of customers using less water because of conservation efforts. Water Works leaders said that operational and infrastructure expenses are staying the same, while bills are decreasing.
But, there were not enough votes for either the 7.5% or for the 4% proposal.
Councilmember Yvette Simpson warned fellow members not to be "short sighted". She said they could approve the lower hike now, and be forced to raise rates by 11% next year, to meet demand for infrastructure improvements.
But, Mann suggested Water Works needed to be more creative in finding efficiencies, citing nearly ten years of increased rates.
While City Council did not approve a hike, they could still revisit the issue before the end of the month.

MIAMI GARDENS, FL - OCTOBER 03: Head coach Bob Stoops of the Oklahoma Sooners looks up to the scoreboard with less than a minute to go in the game against the Miami Hurricanes at Land Shark Stadium on October 3, 2009 in Miami Gardens, Florida. Miami defeated Oklahoma 21-20. (Photo by Doug Benc/Getty Images)
Twitter When you're on top, everyone comes for you. The Southeastern Conference, which has won the last seven BCS national championships, is undeniably the cream of the crop in college football. Yet despite its amazing run, there are still some coaches out there who think the league is overrated. Enter Bob Stoops, Oklahoma's head coach. This week, when speaking about the "gap" in college football between the SEC and its brethren, Stoops told Tulsa World: "Well, it depends on what gap you're talking about," Stoops said. "What are the bottom six doing?" "So they've had the best team in college football," Stoops said. "They haven't had the whole conference. Because, again, half of 'em haven't done much at all. I'm just asking you. You tell me." "So you're listening to a lot of propaganda that gets fed out to you," he said. "You're more than smart enough to figure it out. Again, you can look at the top two, three, four, five, six teams, and you can look at the bottom six, seven, eight, whatever they are. How well are they all doing? In other words, Stoops is arguing that the SEC is top-heavy, and that his league, the Big 12, might be the better conference on the whole. Whether you choose to believe that or not, Alabama coach Nick Saban didn't seem very concerned with Stoops' words: Saban on Bob Stoops' SEC comment: "I haven't seen it. I've got more important things to do than sit around and read what Bob Stoops says." — Cecil Hurt (@CecilHurt) May 10, 2013 Saban added that he "really likes Stoops" but added that "people who don't play in our league (SEC) … don't understand how tough it is." — Cecil Hurt (@CecilHurt) May 10, 2013 Saban pulling the "you don't know" card was predictable, but the question remains as to whether the SEC is a notch above the other major football conferences. After all, Texas A&M was able to make the switch from the Big 12 to the SEC flawlessly – though it did help that it had Heisman-winner Johnny Manziel. In the end, the real debate is whether you should compare conferences based on their best teams or their overall accomplishments. My guess is that we won't have a consensus on that any time soon.

About MeI love doing either a really sexy, classy look or an off the wall, heroin chic style.
I'm petite, and I recently had my breasts done. You can contact me on here even though I can only respond to the minimum amount of messages a day unless I upgrade my membership.
I'd like to build up my portfolio, I generally won't go out of my way to pay someone for photos when there's so many opportunities for TFCD.. so don't spam me with your mass messages of your prices.
Also.. I only travel if it's in Texas, and even then I can't make any promises. I will either have to be already going to that city for other reasons, or travel paid for myself plus one other person (safety reasons -- I do not travel alone) and worth the trouble.

Date of Stay: May, 2005
This campground is still one of the best. It has everything you could want to do at the campground. However, we just camped in late May and the park was already very very busy and crowded. The new laundry and ice cream stand are a great addition.
Date of Stay: May, 2005
Great State Park for a weekend getaway. No sewer but 2 dump stations. Great new playground!!! The children loved it. Carry a book and toys for the children.
Date of Stay: May, 2005
We tried to camp here, however, the campground is not as expected by looking at their website. The campground owners are very friendly and accommodating. They even gave us a refund when we decided not to stay. We left this campground because the campground was burning trash and smoke from the burning trash was covering our campsite. Also, we were backed up to the river which also overlooked a mobile home with junk in the back yard. Very nice folks: just not what we expected.
Date of Stay: March, 2005
Great Family location. Children safe to ride bicycles or fish in lake. Many campsites back up to the lake. Campfires are allowed. Small swimming pool but a water park is in the state park. Campground is located at Stone Mountain State Park. You must get in your vehicle for a five minute ride to most of the attractions. There is a lot to do once in the park. There are too many attractions to list. The laser light show is a must see.

About Me
Moved to Asheville in June of 2010. Haven't done much recently, but would be interested in modeling from time to time mainly for artistic purposes. Physique and general appearance are quite malleable and subject to change.
PLEASE NOTE: I'M CURRENTLY BETWEEN GENDERS. I'll be beginning hormone replacement therapy at the end of June or beginning of July 2012. As such my appearance is significantly less masculine the majority of my profile pictures.
*Update* It's been a lifetime since I used this site! I'd forgotten I even had a profile. I'm definitely farther along in transition and don't look much at all like I used to. I did have a photoshoot for an art project not too long ago and I think the photographer is on MM, but I'll have to ask her what her login is.

Geology Student to Present Paper at Professional Meeting in Buffalo
The meeting will take place in Buffalo on Thursday, March 21.
During the 19th and early 20th centuries, fluids used for embalming commonly contained mixtures of arsenic, zinc, mercury and lead. Hayden's research included sampling and analyzing groundwater and soil samples from a cemetery located at Hamilton College, which contains at least 68 graves from before 1910. Hayden, a geology major at Hamilton, also installed upgradient and downgradient wells near the cemetery and periodically sampled for metals.
An independent, highly selective, liberal arts college, Hamilton was founded in 1812 and is today among the oldest colleges in the U.S. It is named for Alexander Hamilton, the first secretary of the treasury, and features a strong curriculum in the humanities, the arts, the natural sciences and the social sciences.

Jim Adams ( The Performative Nature and Functions of Isaiah 40-55 , 170) summarizes the theme of shame in Isaiah 40-55: "The verb occurs eleven times and primarily in the first section. In brief, those who will be shamed are Jacob-Israel's opponents . . . , the worshipers and manufacturers of idol-gods . . . , and those who deny that Yahweh alone is God . . . . The ones who will not be shamed are those who 'wait' . . . on Yahweh . . . . Further, Israel and Zion will not be shamed because Yahweh will restore his people in Jerusalem. In the light of all the above, those who put their trust in idol-gods and not in Yahweh will experience the ultimate divine betrayal and thereby shame. In contrast, the speakers here are confident that they will not be shamed because Yahweh, unlike idols, is truly divine."
Assume Paul knew this, and then read Romans 1:16 again. "I am not ashamed" means "I am among those who wait on Yahweh, among those who share in the restoration of Israel, one of those who worships the living God." By contrast, it means he is not an idolater and that he does not deny the God of His fathers. There is likely a polemical thrust here as well, as Paul goes on to remind Jews of their history of idolatry and betrayal. Paul, the apostle of the One shamed on the cross, is delivered from shame, and his opponents, who claim to be worshipers of Yahweh while denying the Son, will be disgraced.

I'm sitting here on the verge of tears right now. No matter how much i exercis or how good i think i'm eating it's never good enough. I gain weight today i thought i was doing good i was watching my cals and at dinner it went WAY over. Maybe i wasnt meant to lose weight. I'm tired of working my butt off and not seeing any results or seeing the scale go down.I want another baby but with me being back at almost 300LBs thats never going to happen. My back has been hurting alot lately i am haveing health problems. I am totaly disgusted with my self. The thought of being intamit with my hubby makes me sick. I dont know what else to do i have no one to talk to or to help me.
UPDATE: I have made a very important decision. I have decided that i am going to keeo with what i'm doing. I am going to try to stay away from processed food as much as i can and even bologna and stuff like that. I may not beable to afford the fresh fruit and veggies like most of you. But i think if i stick to around 1200-1300 cals (without starveing myself. If i'm hungry i will eat but only good stuff) I will be back to around 250 and keep moveing forward and never look back again.On thursday i ate 1,377 cals and and on frieday i weighed in with WII fit and i lost 2 pounds yesterday i ate 1,542 cals and i gained .4 pounds. My WII fit makes me take a body test everyday wich weighes me and tells me my BMI before i can do my training. Instead of going by that EVERYDAY i will chose monday as my weigh in for those who want to check up on me to see how i am doing. If i notice that i am still gaining with all the hard work i am doing then i will call my docter and find out whats wrong. If you guys want to look at my food journal and give me some input that would be great. I will probably substitute the strawberries for grape or something that comes in "BULK" that i dont have to spend a bunch of money on. I think i am pretty much on the right track and eating pretty healthy but your input would also be great to.
if you need someone to talk to please get back to me i too and on the verge of being 300 pounds and i want another baby too but as you say there is hardly any chance of that maybe we could encourage one another get back to me here or if you have msn messenger add me email@example.com. Cherie
Hey there. Please do not give up. Please email me so I can talk with you. I am a mother of 1 son too. He is 5. I am very depressed all the time also. I also want another baby and we have been trying for 3 1/2 years with no luck. It would help if I had enough self esteem to have sex with my hubby more often but oh well. Please email me so that I can talk with you. There are people that care about you even if we do not know you. It is a whole sisterly love thing and we know what you are going through.
email@example.com or email@example.com
I'm glad that you are still working toward your goal.
Make sure you drink at least 64 ozs of water each day. That will keep you hydrated, plus will flush the toxins out of your body.
hey remember that at different times in the day your weight fluncuates about 2 lbs. have you tried herbalife? im going to give it a try. i heard it works good with cleaning your body, helping you lose and get preggo. :) dont give up.

The best way to learn Filemaker
By DragonTrainer
from West Boylston, MA
About Me Designer, Developer, Educator, Sys Admin
I have been a longtime user of Filemaker Pro and have the Missing Manual for version 8. The version 13 manual is a whole new book. It covers more database design theory and all the multitude of new features. The presentation is easy to follow and very complete. As compared to the older book, the new one is almost 300 pages longer (and in a smaller typeface). It is a most excellent value.

Good, But Oh So Cute
By Bryan
from Seattle, Washington, USA
This is an informative book full of useful and well-organized information, but it's style is inimitable to good technical writing.It suffers from excessive cuteness, often coming off as treacly, twee, and patronizing. Its cloying "we're all good friends here, har har" tone is not only a stylistic flaw, but results in a needlessly wordy, diffuse text that gets in the way of its purpose: to inform.It's by no means unusable, though I got through it rolling my eyes, wondering if the authors intended to write for children, and wasting energy suppressing the urge to pick up a red pen. I shudder to think of how a young would react to such "Aren't we having fun?!" condescension. In my experience no one – especially children – either likes or benefits from being treated like a child.Diffuse language and obsequiousness really are serious flaws in a text: they make it difficult to glean the content. Difficult or esoteric concepts, in particular, are ill served by this approach. It's a shame to see so much solid, useful information is coated in sticky sugar.

Forbes has a word of advice for Australia
Page Tools
US publisher and one-time presidential candidate Steve Forbes has a message for the Australian Government: think big on tax reform and don't just fiddle at the edges. Go for a flat tax rate and see entrepreneurialism flourish.
An evangelist for capitalism, Mr Forbes was in Australia for two days to promote his global capitalism conference, to be held in Sydney next year.
The state and federal governments have each committed $1million to secure the conference.
Under the deal, Mr Forbes's Forbes magazine, the billionaires' bible, will spruik Sydney and NSW in the lead-up to the event.
Mr Forbes said he hoped to have around 300 of the world's billionaires and some up and coming millionaires on board for the event. But yesterday, addressing a lunch hosted by Premier Bob Carr, Mr Forbes focused on more current issues, including the world economy and Iraq.
"We will triumph over Muslim fanaticism, just as we did over Nazism," he said.
Mr Forbes echoed Rupert Murdoch's sentiments that news reports had painted an unduly pessimistic picture of Iraq.
Schools had re-opened, there was a housing boom and hospitals were offering better service than they did under Saddam Hussein.
He also had a warning for Federal Opposition leader Mark Latham that partners in an alliance had to persevere through rough patches as well.
"You can't have a sunshine patriot type of alliance; you have to stick with it through the rough patches as well," he said.
Mr Forbes was upbeat about the world economy and Australia's place in it. But his biggest compliment related to the structural transformation he said had occurred over the last 14 years.
He said the main task now was to tackle taxation and promote entrepreneurial behaviour.
"Go for big changes and you will see profound change. Reducing rates changes the dynamics, changes the incentives, and we have certainly found in the US - whether it be John F. Kennedy's tax cuts, Reagan's tax cuts or George W's - when you reduce rates you get more incentive, more capital created and that's how you get productivity and a higher standard of living." Mr Forbes said.
"You're on a roll now - why not drive it to the goal line and slash rates?"

to avoid creating defects and, to assist team-building.
Readers wanting a more detailed explanation of these methods should look in the References.
Principle 1. Quantify requirements
All critical quality and resource requirements must be identified and quantified numerically.
Risk is negative deviation from requirements. So, if we are going to understand risk, we must have some way of specifying exactly what we want. If we use vague ways like "State of the Art, World Class, Competitor-Beating Levels of Quality", we cannot understand and assess risk.
Planguage helps because it demands numerically quantified requirements. Using Planguage, we must go through the following steps:
Identify all critical quality and resource attributes of the system. In practice, this could be ten or more critical qualities (e.g. availability) and, five or more critical resources (e.g. operational costs).
Define exactly how to understand variation in each attribute by specifying a scale of measure, e.g. 'Scale: Probability of being fully operational during the office day' and 'Scale: Total of all monetary operational expenses including long term decommissioning costs'.
For each attribute, define one or more critical points on the defined
scale of measure which are needed for the system to function properly and profitably. There are two important categories: 'Must' and 'Plan'. A
'Must' level defines the system survival level. A 'Plan' level defines the planned point for success. For risk management, 'Must' is the first level and 'Plan' is the second level for risk determination. A value for any attribute less than its required Must level means total system failure. Only when all Plan levels for all the attributes have been met can a system be declared a success.
For all the Must and Plan levels, define additional qualifying information. We call this using 'qualifiers'. You are basically defining time, place and event, i.e. when it is critical for you to achieve a certain level of an attribute, where it is critical and under what conditions. For example,
Plan [1999,Europe,IF European Monetary Union implemented anywhere] 99.98%
We can even give direct expression to the amount of risk we are prepared to take by a statement such as :
Must [2001, UK, IF Euro is used in Norway & UK] 60% ±20%
In other words the range of results 40% to 80% is an acceptable upper and lower limit, but below 40% is unacceptable.
Here is a more complete example:
Scale: Mean time to learn [defined tasks] to minimum proficiency.
Must [Release 2.0, English Version, Task: Modifying Files] 10 minutes.
Plan [Release 2.0, English Version, Task: Modifying Files] 7 minutes.
Plan [Release 3.0, English Version, Task: Modifying Files] 5 minutes.
Plan [Release 3.0, French & Dutch Versions, Task: Finding a File by Content] 5 minutes.
In the example, the most critical (failure of system) risk is the Must level. The other statements are only of secondary risk; they indicate the levels required to declare success.
It should be obvious that the degree of risk can be expressed in terms of the deviation from the target levels. For example,
Method A can sometimes result in a learning time of 10 minutes, while method B can never result in a learning time exceeding 4 minutes.
This means that for the specified requirements, method A poses a real risk, but method B does not.
A template specification of risk levels
In addition to the basic statements described above, it should be noted that there are a wide variety of ways within Planguage to indicate that the information contains some element of risk. Here are some examples:
Plan 60-80 Specification of a range
Plan 60±30 Specification of an upper
