FOR Vauxhall right now it's all about Adam.
And the firm are so Adam-ant it will be motoring's newest fashion statement
they devoted the whole stand at last month's Paris Motor Show to the car.
Adam is Vauxhall's answer to the Fiat 500 and the Mini — a super-mini that's
big on character and even bigger on personalisation.
The car, Vauxhall say, has more than a million different combinations,
alongside its distinctive styling.
If you've become bored by traditional silver, reds or blues and endless grey
interiors, then let your imagination run wild with the Adam.
But if you prefer something more sophisticated you can have subtle, elegant
colours and trims as well.
The options are endless and mind-boggling, starting with 12 exterior
colours, including some great names like James Blonde, Purple Fiction and
Papa Don't Peach.
The Adam also features its own distinct "floating" roof design and, once
again, there's a choice of colours — but surprisingly only three.
Your options increase for the alloys with 20 designs in different colours —
again with funky names, like Boomerang, Twister and Turbine.
You can also add multi-coloured clips to the alloy spokes for added spice.
Inside the car the options continue with four base interior colours — White
and Black, Purple, White and Cocoa.
But things really get interesting with the option of 18 interchangeable decor
panels on the dash and doors, which are backlit by LEDs, plus 15 different
seat treatments, just in case you were getting bored.
There are also eight different colours of ambient lighting in the cabin for
night-time driving, and you can get a choice of printed roof headliner
designs including a Starlight illuminated one with 64 LED lights for £325.
Put them all together and you get the funkiest set of interiors I have seen in
a car.
Then there are the three standard trim levels: JAM (fashionable/colourful),
GLAM (elegant/sophisticated) and SLAM (racy/sporty).
The Adam is crammed with equipment options and even the standard JAM model
gets air-con, cruise control, CD/DAB radio, linked with USB and Bluetooth
connectivity, leather steering wheel and 16-inch alloys.
And Vauxhall's new baby is aimed at lovers of connectivity with a new
Intellilink infotainment system which connects a smartphone to the car,
giving access to personal music, the internet, apps, phone and satnav.
It's the first system compatible with both Apple iOS and Android via a
seven-inch screen — a £275 option I think most buyers will take.
Another likely to be taken up by city commuters is Park Assist, which at the
touch of a button automatically finds you a parking space and steers the car
into the place.
But is Adam merely a poser's paradise or is there driving substance behind the
Well, it doesn't drive anywhere near as wild as it looks because with the
choice of 1.2 or two power versions of 1.4litre petrol engines it's built
for cruising city streets and good fuel economy between 51 and 56mpg.
It's perfect for nipping in and out of city traffic and it handles well
enough on the open road, but the engines lack the character of the rest of
the car.
A new three-cylinder turbo 1litre engine is on the way that will offer a
better combination of performance and fuel economy, and Vauxhall say they'll
bring out a 'warm' engine. I think Adam deserves the VXR treatment.
Interior space is fine for front-seat passengers and the rear seats are OK for
kids but, like the Mini and the Fiat 500, no one will be buying this for
back-seat practicality.
The Adam is a style statement for individuals. Prices start at £11,255 and go
up to £14,295 — but if you take all the available options you'll be closer
to £18,000.
The Mini and Fiat 500 are retro-designed small cars with a history. The big
question is does the Vauxhall Adam have enough badge clout to match them.
I don't know about the badge but I think it has more than enough character
and style to match them. It's a bold move by Vauxhall that deserves to

Human Assumptions
This lady, Jenifer and I talk for a while. It's not about much, just the people on the bus and what we think of them. I think I can let my guard down around this person-she seems kind, trustworthy and generally warmly welcoming. I tell her not to trust 'Aphrodite', who was now sitting, and enjoying her time, with Bas. I rolled my eyes and turned away, but at a "Look" from Jenifer, turned back to see 'Aphrodite' writhing in her seat. God, I'm not surprised her dreams are haunted, such a filthy woman like that!
The pale guy, Alex, his scruffy girl, Gabby, and Bas really interest me. They keep stopping the bus, getting off, then getting back on a little later. It's mainly around Gabby-earlier Bas went away from Vegas Woman to try and sort out an argument Gabby and Alex were having. But it seems Alex doesn't like the interference. I mean who would like to be told what to do with their personal affairs? I certainly don't.
The lady model-Auvrea I think her name is, but it's hard to hear all the way back here at Row 13-was trying to help, but she ended up storming away. It seems even her beauty couldn't point them in the right direction. Then Alex managed to knock out Bas, and ran off the bus with Gabby. Good for them, I think- following one's heart is the way to go. (I didn't go and help Bas-he had several people round him at once). I wonder what the driver is thinking about people just stopping and starting the bus?
Anyway I turned back to Jenifer after that, but my phone rang, it's metallic ABBA ringtone echoing through my handbag. I rolled my eyes, apologised to Jenifer and flipped open the pink device.
"Mmhmm....Yeah, I know. Yes, mum, we're almost there." I say in a sickly sweet voice that even I hate. "I'll let you know....Mmhm...Okay...Bubbye." Ending the call I turn back to Jenifer.
"Sorry about that. Now where were we? What's your story, Jenny-" Then I blushed. Oh, you've done it again Meggan Louise Greene. You've assumed someone wants to be your friend.... An angry voice said inside of me.
"Sorry-Can I call you Jenny...?" I stutter to the lady, "How do you end up on this bus?" I'm on a school trip- In fact I'd better check when I'm getting off." Though it seems the other people who are meant to be on this trip are no longer here. Leaving Jenifer to answer only to herself, I get up to the front of the bus. Any excuse to talk to Aidan.

Seen at the Museum of the USAF in Dayton, Ohio — it's a Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-21F "Fishbed" fighter-interceptor:
First flying in 1955, the MiG-21 is one of the world's most famous jet fighters, the most-produced supersonic jet aircraft in aviation history (well over 11,000 were built), and the combat aircraft with the longest production run (1959 through 1985, including at least 15 variants). More than 50 countries have flown the MiG-21 in at least 15 major variants — with some still being in service today.
The MiG-21 was built as a short-range day fighter-interceptor, and for a time it excelled in that role. During the Vietnam War, the MiG-21 was both faster (1,300 mph maximum speed) and had a better rate of climb than did the F-4 Phantom it normally faced. It was reliable, cheap, and easily maintained — a boon for the 3rd world countries that often hosted it. Fortunately for Phantom pilots, the MiG-21 also had some serious limitations — namely, it had very short range, marginal dogfighting abilities, and very poor rear visibility.
The MiG-21F was the first major production version of the fighter; this particular model was built in Czechoslovakia and flown by the Czech air force. At the time I photographed it (2006), the plane was painted and marked as a MiG-21PF of the North Vietnamese Air Force during the Vietnam War.

Waikiki: A History of Forgetting & Remembering
€ 30,49
Besorgung - Lieferbarkeit unbestimmt
September 2006
BeschreibungWaikī kī A History of Forgetting and Remembering presents a compelling cultural and environmental history of the area, exploring its place not only in the popular imagination, but also through the experiences of those who lived there. Employing a wide range of primary and secondary sources-including historical texts and photographs, government documents, newspaper accounts, posters, advertisements, and personal interviews-an artist and a cultural historian join forces to reveal how rich agricultural sites and sacred places were transformed into one of the world's most famous vacation destinations. Colonialism and capitalism have not only changed the look and function of the landscape, but also how Native Hawaiians, immigrants, settlers, and visitors interact with one another and with the islands' natural resources. The book's creators counter this narrative of displacement and destruction with stories-less known or forgotten-of resistance and protest.
PortraitGaye Chan is an artist and teaches at the University of Hawai'i. Andrea Feeser is a writer and teaches art history, previously at the University of Hawai'i and currently at Clemson University. In 1998 Chan and Feeser founded Down Wind Productions, a collaborative of activists, artists, and educators, to explore the past and present effects of colonialism, capitalism, and tourism in Waikiki.

Thermomechanical fatigue behavior of the directionally-solidified nickel-base superalloy CM247LC
Kupkovits, Robert Anthony
MetadataShow full item record
Due to the extreme operating conditions present in the combustion sections of gas turbines, designers have relied heavily on specialized engineering materials. For blades, which must retain substantial strength and resistance to fatigue, creep, and corrosion at high temperatures, directionally-solidified (DS) nickel-base superalloys have been used extensively. Complex thermomechanical loading histories makes life prediction for such components difficult and subjective. Costly product inspection and refurbishment, as well as capital expense required in turbine forced outage situations, are significant drains on the resources of turbine producers. This places a premium on accurate endurance prediction as the foundation of viable long-term service contracts with customers. In working towards that end, this work characterizes the behavior of the blade material CM247LC DS subjected to a variety of in-phase (IP) and out-of phase (OP) loading cycles in the presence of notch stress concentrations. The material response to multiaxial notch effects, highly anisotropic material behavior, time-dependent deformation, and waveform and temperature cycle characteristics is presented. The active damage mechanisms influencing crack initiation are identified through extensive microscopy as a function of these parameters. This study consisted of an experimental phase as well as a numerical modeling phase. The first involved conducting high temperature thermomechanical fatigue (TMF) tests on both smooth and notched round-bar specimens to compile experimental results. Tests were conducted on longitudinal and transverse material grain orientations. Damage is characterized and conclusions drawn in light of fractography and microscopy. The influences of microstructure morphology and environmental effects on crack initiation are discussed. The modeling phase utilized various finite element (FE) simulations. These included an anisotropic-elastic model to capture the purely elastic notch response, and a continuum-based crystal visco-plastic model developed specifically to compute the material response of a DS Ni-base superalloy based on microstructure and orientation dependencies. These FE simulations were performed to predict and validate experimental results, as well as identify the manifestation of damage mechanisms resulting from thermomechanical fatigue. Finally, life predictions using simple and complex analytical modeling methods are discussed for predicting component life at various stages of the design process.

Report: At least five teams interested in Trail Blazers guard Jamal Crawford
Portland Trail Blazers guard Jamal Crawford is in an interesting position: He knows he will be playing elsewhere next season. The Blazers are trying to find an acceptable trade partner for Crawford, but if they are unsuccessful, Crawford can opt out of his contract and become a free agent.
Should that happen, Alex Kennedy of HoopWorld.com reports that Crawford will have no shortage of suitors. League sources tell Kennedy that the Boston Celtics, Indiana Pacers, Los Angeles Clippers, Miami Heat and Minnesota Timberwolves are among the teams expected to pursue Crawford. Crawford, 32, has career averages of 15.3 points and 3.9 assists, but he's been below those figures in each of the past two seasons as he transitioned into a bench player.

BitterSweet Pro v3
Transient Shaper by Flux
"BitterSweet Pro V3 is definitely one of the very best transient processor in the market right now and Flux has delivered one excellent plugin that is very effective and totally fulfills its goals."Gearslutz. Web forum for audio recording engineers and self recording musicians
BitterSweet Pro v3 - The Ultimate Frequency Dependent Transient Designer
BitterSweet Pro v3, Frequency Dependent Transient Designer, is built around a new improved design of the algorithm found in Flux:: acclaimed freeware transient processor, BitterSweet, used by hundreds of thousands of users all over the world, and the approach we had when designing BitterSweet Pro was to make it just as easy and straightforward to use.
Frequency Dependent Transient Processing
One of the main features of BitterSweet Pro is the Frequency Dependent Transient Processing, providing the ability to process only a certain part of the frequency spectrum making it act just like a dynamic equalizer driven by Transients and/or Sustain.
Explained: When Frequency Range is set from 20 Hz to 20 KHz the processing is performed on the full band, now changing the value of the low cut off frequency turns it into a High shelve dynamic eq, setting the high cut off frequency turns it into a Low shelve dynamic eq, and setting both turns it into a peak dynamic eq, in any case the gain can be adjusted with the Static Gain parameter, and the slope can be set with the Frequency Order parameter, from 6dB per octave to 12, 18 and 24 dB, the higher the Frequency Order is the steeper the slope of the frequency response becomes.
The detector sidechain is filtered in accordance with the frequency range setting and its low cut, high cut and band pass filter, and the filtered sidechain extraction can be audited with a simple button click.
In addition, Transients and Sustain can be amplified or attenuated simultaneously or individually, and it can process either all components (Main) in one, or process the Mid (Center) or the Side (Stereo) parts of the sound independently by encoding the material with its internal MS encoder, process it, and then decode it back to stereo again.
For extended control of the transient processing envelope, a group of additional advanced controls is accessible through the "Geek"-pane.
To retain control of the signal, even under extreme processing, a soft clipper is provided at the very last stage of the processing path carefully rounding the edges of the clipped peaks for a smoother clipping. This fundamental design makes it a genuinely easy task to perform powerful level-independent transparent shaping of the sound spectrum using BitterSweet Pro.
BitterSweet Pro v3 is built around our latest 64-bit version 3 framework, with the graphic rendering using a GPU-efficient 2D/3D graphic engine. The engine, introduced first in the Pure Analyzer System, is based on the OpenGL standard optimizing the audio-to-visual experience utilizing the GPU on the computer's built in graphics card.
Global Bypass
Global Bypass, when pressed, the signal is routed directly from the inputs to the outputs (On/Off).
Speed, alters the mode for the processing of the transients, controlling the envelope smoothing and generating a natural attack (Fast/Medium/Slow).
A dynamic gain, that depending on the Mode setting dynamically adjusts the gain of the transients and/or the sustain (-100,00% - Sweet / 100,00%- Bitter).
Frequency Range
Frequency Range sets the actual frequency range that is to be processed (20 Hz / 20.00 kHz - Lower / 40Hz / 20,0 kHz - Upper). The button above the slider is for listening to the extraction used for the analysis of the material.
Frequency Order
Frequency Order sets the number of frequency-dependent components controlling the slope of the frequency response (6/12/18/24 - dB Per Octave). The higher the Frequency Order is, the steeper the slope of the frequency response becomes.
Static Gain
Static Gain controls the actual gain of the Frequency Range filter envelope ( -24.00 / +24.00 dB).
The Period parameter sets the range of the time window used for the detection of the transients that are to be processed (20.0 ms / 120.0 ms).
The Mode setting adjusts how BitterSweet Pro is processing the material. Transients and Sustain can be amplified or attenuated simultaneously or individually, for either all components (Main), the Mid (Center) or the Side (Stereo) parts of the sound independently.
Clip, a soft clipper at the very last stage of the processing path carefully rounding the edges of the clipped peaks for a smoother clipping (Off/Cubic/Tube).
Output Gain
Sets the global gain applied to the processing output before the soft clipper (-24.00 / +24.00 dB).
Clicking the Geek glasses opens a windows with an additional range of parameters providing extended control of the transient processing envelope.
Diff./Dyn. Band
Diff. is a key listener for the Difference between input and output signal (On/Off). Dynamic Band adjusts the frequency bandwidth of the Peak, when a Peak envelope is defined with the Dynamic Range (On/Off).
Adjusts the attack time for the transient processing envelope (0.00ms / 200.00ms).
Adjusts the hold time for the transient processing envelope (0.00ms / 200.00ms)
Adjusts the release time for the transient processing envelope (0.00ms / 500.00ms)
Preset/Parameter Slots
To enhance the workflow, the two Preset/Parameter slots, A and B, can be loaded with two different presets ie. two full set of parameters at the same time. Apart from saving each a/b preset, a 'Global Preset' containing both the A and B settings, and the position of the 'Morphing Slider', can be saved.
Morphs the parameter values of the A & B parameter sections, it has no unity or specific value display; it provides morphing of the current values from both of the A & B parameter sections.
Open Sound Control Support
Open Sound Control (OSC) is a content format for messaging among computers, sound synthesizers, and other multimedia devices that are optimized for modern networking technology.
Bringing the benefits of modern networking technology to the world of electronic musical instruments, OSC's advantages include interoperability, accuracy, flexibility, and enhanced organization and documentation.
With the Flux:: version 3 (v3) framework support for OSC is introduced in order to allow for remote control of the plug-in parameters using OSC enabled devices and software applications such as TouchOSC for iPhone / iPod Touch / iPad.
Preset and Parameter Handling / Slots
To enhance the workflow the two Preset/Parameter slots, A and B, can be loaded with two full set of parameters at the same time. Apart from saving each preset, a "Global Preset" containing both the A and B settings, and the position of the "Morphing Slider", can be saved.
Parameter Morphing Slider with Automation
The Morphing Slider provides morphing between the parameter settings of slot A/B allowing for really creative and useful real-time tweaking.

Hey guys, So I'm starting something new, it's called "The_Atm's random review of the week" just as the title says I'm going to do a random review of a random game, these aren't games like Assassin's creed or bioshock but just little games on the tablet or computer. So lets go!
So the first game to kick of this series is Plague Inc. Now i'm sure we've all played a game like this, you're a scientist and have a grudge against humanity and decide to eliminate it with a plague. You have to evolve your plague to overcome challenges like weather, transport and of course, the cure. Now this game is not all that different from the other ones on the internet except for the fact that it offers a bit more choice. You get to pick the name, the type of disiease but now you can modify the DNA and pick which country you start in. All these add to a great game... if you're willing to pay of course.
The gameplay is pretty rudimentary for this type of game, you name your plague than you pick what type, whether it be fungi, bacteria, or what have you, but in this version you can modify the DNA with traits such as "atomaticly pop DNA bubbles" or "Get double the DNA points" which brings me to my next point which is that it doesn't really... evolve... the gameplay, that was a pun. See you unlock the modifications from completing a game on any dificulty setting but you have to pay 99 cents to use it. Now aside from that it's still a great game without even paying a cent.
One big drag however is the DNA points, you get these from infecting people and traveling to new countries, at first they are plentiful but soon as you infect more and more people and travel to every country than it just stops. The preferred way to play is to infect everyone before you let the bodies hit the floor but if you don't plan, your dead. After infecting everyone the only way to get DNA points to evolve is to kill, in order to evolve enough to kill is to get at least 33 DNA points and that's allot you have to save up for when you that far in and usually if you make one wrong purchase like "frost resistant" than your goose is cooked because you can't get those points back, well you can but you only get 2 points instead of the 13 you invested in.
The evolution is varied though, you can connect different evolution traits together to get a super symptom such as skin lesions and rash that creates a profuse bleeding symptom, so that adds some variety to the game. As well you get little news snippets about stuff from around the world talking about your plague or things that involve it such as "Sweden is having national kissing day, experts wonder about hygiene"
The presentation to Plague Inc. is fantastic, the gameplay map is quite simple, just a map of the world but as your plague grows across the world countries infected will slowly grow red, ones that you've "destroyed" or killed everyone will be a dark red. You see plains and boats go from port to port or airport to airport, infected plains and boats are red and plains carrying the cure are blue. You can follow the path of an infected boat or plain by a little red dashed line behind it, all this makes you feel in control. You can see stats such as when the cure will be finished, how many people you have infected and how many people have been killed. The music is not really for listening but more for when it's awkwardly quite, just background music.
The Verdict
This game has provided me hours and hours of entertainment but along with it some anger issues, it have the problem of running out of DNA points if you don't get ahead of the ball and start investing soon and the drug resistances don't seem to really work at holding back the cure, but than again, what else could you ask for of a game that's FREE!
I'd give this game a solid 8.5 If you want to download please follow this link https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.miniclip.plagueinc&feature=nav_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDMsImNvbS5taW5pY2xpcC5wbGFndWVpbmMiXQ..
Thanks for reading!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Nk2003 from Excellence In a Pair of Pants I have a closet full of outdoor clothing and my favorites are all made by Columbia. These pants happen to be the favorite pants of my favorite brand. I have three black pair and now three in the tan color. Even though the fabric is a lighter weight (not too light) technical, they are still holding strong after years of outdoor use and washes. They have flexibility but maintain their shape. I could easily do yoga while wearing them. The pants fit just right. Not too tight, not baggie, perfect silhouette for a woman. The drawstring which never washes out of the flat waistband is perfect for tweaking the waist size. There is just enough room around the ankle to fall correctly over hiking boots or running shoes. The pockets are just the right length and made of the right fabric to lay smoothly. Even the pocket on the back lays well after slipping them on and off as we ladies have to do throughout the day. I love these pants. I hope they are never discontinued!

I wear it to hike a lot because it keep me cool, shield from the sun and flexible to stretch, move as my body needed, not a little bit of restriction to my motion.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Francy from Bought for travel, bought more for regular running around town. Comfortable, casual but has a good appearance. Wrinkles fall out once you put them on. Breath nicely. Can't find a fault at all. Extremely happy I found them. Shall I say..."I'm a Happy Camper" :< )

Rated 5 out of 5 by DressedforComfort from Amazing Pants I like Yoga pants. These are awesome. They have all the comfort of a yoga pant but they are suitable for me to wear to work. I work in a business casual office and they are perfect. I bought the Black, tan, and pulse color. I think I can wear these pants everyday. Although they are a little thin, so when the weather gets colder I will have to layer up with leggings underneath, but no big deal they have plenty of stretch to them. Easy to iron when wrinkled. liquid and food wipe off very easily with no stains. Great for moms, and clumsy people like me.

Rated 5 out of 5 by scb123 from Love I absolutely love these pants. There's just enough stretch without being clingy or too tight, they fit my waist AND my bottom, no gapping or constantly tugging up. They pass the full-squat test :) I don't even want jeans anymore, I've got these in just about all the colors. Honestly, I was amazed at how much I loved them when I first tried them on. They're perfect for work in lieu of khakis, and I'll be wearing them on travel as well (my first two pairs survived 6 months in Afghanistan very well). I did go one size up because I wanted a little looseness in the fit. I'd like to see them in a straight leg fit, and a tad longer would be great. I'm 5'7", athletic build, 150 lbs, and usually wear a 4-6.

Rated 4 out of 5 by KK55 from Comfortable I have worn these pants for about 12 washes. The fabric does pill in the crotch area. They are very comfortable. Because of the stretch some hem/pocket stitching did break soon after purchase.

Rated 5 out of 5 by kikiteacher from slimming Love the leg lengthening look. Keeps the boots covered. I hate tight- at- the- bottom pants! Comfy for hiking and walking around town. Wish there were belt loops instead of a tie. I had them added on by a tailor for $18. Like the lighter weight. Would be a great pant for travel!

Rated 5 out of 5 by AnnaCA from Perfect Travel Pants I love these pants. They're soft and comfortable and perfect to wear on long flights because they don't wrinkle, they have enough stretch to move around in, and they still look great when you arrive. They're also good for outdoor use - either urban strolling or woody hiking. They're cool, and classic. I bought the grey and it is a classic light grey color with no hints of blue or brown like many greys have. I'm 5'7" and bought the regular length and they are the perfect length. I wear an 8-10 in US women's. I bought the 10 after trying on the 8 and finding it a bit too tight to be a travel or hiking pant. The 10 is loose but still feminine.

Rated 5 out of 5 by NYNJ from Most comfortable functional pants Love Columbia products. However, sizing is very dependable of styles. I am 5'1', 120 lbs and size 6 is loose. But in another pants (Back Beauty series, I need a medium. So you may need to try them on.

Rated 5 out of 5 by HikerGal67 from NICE! These are the first pants I've bought from Columbia. I have a couple of pairs of the Anytime Capris and love them so I thought I'd give the pants a shot. Glad I did and it was an interesting experience. Here's why: not sure of which inseam to get I decided to order my regular size 12 with the short inseam and a size down with the regular inseam planning to return the ones that didn't fit. The surprise is they both fit great! The regular inseam is a little long but not bad and certainly wearable. Very p!eased.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Cyclemom from love these I now have 4 pairs of these pants in different colors! Love them. I am a teacher and wear them all day every day with a variety of tops. My only complaint, same complaint as many, is that they are a wee bit short. I am 5'8'' tall and I could use an inch to an inch and a half more to the inseam. I would have recommended them to my daughters but they are both over 5'9". If it wasn't for the length they would be perfect and 5 stars.

Rated 5 out of 5 by CD1616 from So comfortable! Love these pants. Run a smidge on the large size in my opinion, but the drawstring helps them fit perfectly. They do wrinkle if you don't get them from the dryer right away. Otherwise, they are GREAT!

Rated 4 out of 5 by Ashley10101 from Where are the LONGS!??? These pants are great and comfortable, but the regular inseam is just not long enough. I can't even wear regular shoes without them being too short :( Columbia, please make these in longs and I would order every color!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by neisann from Great pants for multiple activities This is my second pair of Columbia outdoor pants, and I have really liked both pairs. Sizing was spot on (I'm a 9/10 and the 10 has a great fit and the regular length works great for me, at 5'4"-so if you have long legs, Regular may be too short). The material is lightweight and stretchy. I have worn them camping, hiking and at work. I actually bought them for work instead of wearing scrubs-they fit so nice and look professional at the same time. Plus, they're so comfortable!

Rated 5 out of 5 by JojoO from Survived the Papago Wall I wore these on a 35 mile backpacking trip in the Grand Canyon that required descending a boulder field whose angle of repose was nearly 90% and which was the equivalent of descending from a skyscraper from the top to the river. I ended up sitting on my butt and scooting over the rocks as standing up presented too many opportunities to fall or dislodge a boulder. I fully expected to have holes in my pants when I got to the bottom. Instead, these pants only suffered minor pilling. It was nothing short of a miracle. I also wore them in 90+ degree temps and never felt hot. They offer incredible mobility with awesome stretch in all the right places. I love love love these pants. And plan to buy more!

Rated 5 out of 5 by ccyoga from Work pants you can wear to yoga I love these pants. They look nice enough to wear with a sweater in a casual office setting. They stretch enough to wear to yoga class at lunch. I agree with one reviewer that I wish they came in a slightly longer length. I have two pair that are true to size, I am usually an 8 but was able to buy a size 6 on clearance at the outlet.

Rated 2 out of 5 by Tasha808 from Great but too small... Usually Columbia pants sizes are a little more fitted than other brands. I actually prefer that because I don't like to wear them super baggy. The size 10 that I purchased fit like it was barely an 8. Talk about a muffin top! I have 2 other Columbia styles in a 10 and they fit fine. All 10's waists should be the same...the only differences should be if they are slim fit, boot cut, etc. I am definitely returning these.

Rated 5 out of 5 by JanS123 from Wish there were more inseam options I originally ordered the short and it was 1 1/2" too short, so had to order the regular and take it in for hemming. Love the Anytime product - have the straight leg, capris and long shorts (4 pairs of the shorts). Use them to go to dog agility class and trials. I'm not into the legging look but these are form fitting and stretch as you move and I don't feel like I should be in a yoga class - plus these have nice pockets which I rank as a must have. I ordered a size 6, am 5'5" and 127 lbs.

Rated 4 out of 5 by DazzleMe from Not for handicapped with the tie closure These seem to be made well, do run smaller than true to size, are too short for someone who is 5'9" tall, 134lbs, and needs a 32" inseam. This bootcut style needs to be longer so they are not ankle length. Being these pants have a snap and a tie at the waist it is Not for handicapped peps because if that tie gets into a knot -one gets stuck in the bathroom because ya cannot get the knot undone without help! I had to return all pants with a tie. I would recommend these nice pants - just not for me. I've read where other peps say they stretch out a bit so the that makes sense why the tie closure is there.

Rated 2 out of 5 by Mjt8604 from Runs small in the legs These pants ran too small in the legs and knee area. I have a pair in short length that fit great, but are just slightly too short. These were about 3-4 inches too long so the seam around the knee didn't lay right. The fabric was also itchy on these and that did not resolve after 1 washing.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Geli from Best Pants Ever I got my first pair as a size 6 and they were a little big but they were really comfortable. The draw string waist helps with adjusting size. I wear them to work all the time. I wore them so much, I bought a size 4 pair as well. I love the comfort and stretch of the material and how they are water resistant. I'm 5'2" so they're a little long on me but I love them anyway. Best pair of pants.

Fit true to size, which is more than I can say for other outdoor companies. The pants don't fit snug and have a nice stretch to them. I love them so much I am buying more! I also wear them to work and find them to be as comfortable as my scrubs. I am 5'7 and they do run a bit long on me. I got the regular.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Comfort from Disappointed I was looking for a good comfortable hiking and causual pant. I am more of a pear shape and usually go for a boot cut fit. The placement of the front pockets are not very flattering and the fabric is alittle scratchy and does not seem to be of great quality. I have only washed them once, but I can see these, per other reviews, pilling really quickly. Perhaps that is why they are on sale? Most companies offer a return label and resealable package but Columbia does not! Perhaps this is to make returns inconvenient? Disappointed.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Hides from Comfy and Long Lasting I estimate I wore this pant 90 times before replacing it. Over time I have added 4 more to give the original pair a break. I wear it everywhere, hiking, to work, active weekends. It's comfy, shapely, and it holds its color and shape. It can be protective and cool in the summer and warm in the spring and fall.

Secure for Sure! (20 of 34) by Keith Krell
This content is part of a series.Secure for Sure! (20 of 34)
Series: Good News from God
Keith Krell
Romans 8:31-39
In 1937 the great Golden Gate Bridge was completed. It cost over $35 million to build and was completed in two phases: the first slowly and the second rapidly. In the first stage, no safety devices were used. As a result, twenty-three men fell to their deaths. However, for the final part of the project, a large safety net was used as a precaution. At least ten men fell into the net and were saved from certain death. Once the net was installed production increased by 25%. Why? Because the men were assured of their security and they were free to wholeheartedly serve the project.
Security is a critical element in life. Unfortunately, it's also very elusive. Recent world events in Japan and Libya demonstrate how insecure our world is. On a personal level, perhaps you live in insecurity because you have been the victim of a crime such as robbery or rape. Maybe your spouse has threatened divorce and you lack marital security. Your children may be struggling with physical or emotional issues that have deprived you of security. Perhaps you've lost your job and your retirement has plummeted leaving you feeling hopelessly insecure. Reflecting on your life, you realize that you have little or no security in those areas where you crave it most. Fortunately, in the single area that truly matters most-your relationship with God-you can have ultimate security. The Bible declares that God offers believers His unconditional love and acceptance. Yet, you may struggle with this notion. Maybe you have never experienced unconditional love and approval from your parents. Perhaps you have experienced rejection and betrayal from a spouse, from relatives, or from friends. Consequently, you are skeptical and cynical of people because you have been hurt so many times. I hurt for you and that's why I want you to know that God's love for you is perfect and He will never let you go. He yearns for you to ...

"Russell's book, which is the first full analysis of Hume's theories on this key theme, does justice to their complexity and systematic character, and by relating them to more recent debates shows us, once again, why Hume remains such a continual source of philosophical stimulus. It [Russell's book] is excellent, creative scholarship."Terry Penelhum, Canadian Journal of Philosophy

Know Your Customer (KYC) checks
Why we may need some more information about you
You may have recently been asked for some additional information about you or the source of your account funding. Please don't worry about this, we ask because we operate under a licence provided by the UK Gambling Commission and one of our licence requirements is to pro-actively engage in initial and ongoing Know Your Customer (KYC) checks.
This KYC process assists us to ensure that we can get to know you and provide you with a great customer experience, as well as ensuring that we fulfil our obligations in relation to responsible gambling and in understanding how your account is funded.
What are the checks you need to do? What may we ask for from you?
We may just need to ask you to provide some ID, such as a passport, driver's licence or other recognised government issued document.
However, in some cases we may need to ask for a bit more background information, which could include conversations around your account activity and include discussion as to your source of account funding and specific areas of responsible gambling. In some instances, we may ask for documentation to support what has been discussed.
Will this information be shared?
No, we use all information and documentation for our own internal purposes and will not share it with any other businesses. As always, your data will be handled in complete confidence, by specially trained teams and in line with data protection legislation.
Would other operators ask me this?
Yes, all betting and gaming operators licensed by the Gambling Commission have the same responsibility to conduct KYC checks
What if I don't give you the information?
If we are unable to speak with you or you can't provide us with the required information or documentation, we may need to place a restriction on your account until we are able to obtain this. The nature of the restriction will always be decided on an individual account basis but could result in the suspension of your account.
Where can I learn more about the requirements?
We would be happy to provide you with any additional information that you require, simply contact a member of our KYC team for help. Alternatively you can familiarise yourself with the requirements via the Gambling Commission's website here.
What can I do to help with this process?
Making sure your contact details are kept up to date assists us greatly in the KYC process.
How can I contact you if I have further questions?
If you have any questions regarding this process, please use the email button available below.Contact Us regarding KYC checks

Got a question? Go ahead and ask me. There are some questions I can't answer because they're under NDA or because I don't know, but I'll at least tell you that I can't answer your question. Some questions will be answered in the comments. If I find myself writing a lot in response to your question, I'll write a new post.
If you don't ask your question this week (which is to say, the week of 19 November 2007), I don't promise an answer. Life is going to be busy over the next few months. I do this whenever I've got a quiet week in the office, which tends to mean that it happens around US holidays.

The Resurrection Body (1 of 2) by Jesse Hendley
This content is part of a series.THE RESURRECTION BODY (1 of 2)
Jesse M. Hendley
I Corinthians 15:35
February 1964
I would like to speak to you today on "The
Resurrection Body," and if you will turn with me to
First Corinthians 15:35 we will read a few passages
of Scripture on this important Truth from God's
Over the years my mind has tried to go more deeply
into this subject of The Resurrection Body. That is,
I have tried to gather out of the Word of God, here
and there, the different flashes of light as to the
Resurrection Body we shall possess as believers on
the Lord Jesus Christ. I pray that this study today
may make the Next World more real, and the fact of
Christ and His salvation more precious to your
First Corinthians 15:35. "But some man will say, How
are the dead raised? And with body do they come?"
How is God going to raise a dead man, after a body
has dissolved and the particles have returned to
dust? How can God bring that into another body? What
kind of body is it going to be? Will it be like the
body we have in this present world?
Paul says, "Foolish one." Paul isn't calling
somebody "a fool" as a strong term. He is saying, "0
foolish one, reasoning like that."
"That which thou sowest is not quickened except it
die." In the realm of nature, life comes out of
death. Death is not the end of everything. In
nature, a grain of seed falls into the ground, and
it dies, but life springs up.
"And so, that which thou sowest, thou sowest not
that body that shall be, but bare grain, it may
chance of wheat or of some other grain. But God
giveth it a body as it hath pleased Him, and to
every seed his own body."
There is a gleam of truth about our Resurrection
Body! It will be one that pleases God! God is not
pleased with our present body because it is under
the curse of sin. He was pleased with the bodies of
Adam and Eve when He made them in the Garden of
Eden. But He is not pleased with us, ...

The drums supporting your vehicle's rear brakes are vital. The brake shoes are often looked at as a main issue of bad brakes, but the drums can be a big problem if they are not balanced. Drums that aren't even in their weight distribution will cause vibrations, especially when higher speeds are reached. This can severely damage the suspension, and you need to get these drums balanced immediately. The exact method of balancing them depends on a lot of factors, like the type of drums and how much work you can perform on them yourself.
Things You'll Need
- Floor jack
- Jack stands
- Lug wrench
- Socket or open-ended wrench
- Balance weight
- Welding torch
- Replacement brake drums.
Raise the vehicle's rear end and support it on jack stands. Remove the rear wheels.
Remove the brake calipers and discs if the vehicle has them on the rear wheels -- remove the caliper's mounting bolts with a wrench. Then, slide the disc off.
Pull the brake drums off of the wheel studs. Keep at least one drum near the wheel it was installed on at all times to ensure you know the positioning of each drum.
Inspect the inside of both drums, and check to see if one drum has a balance weight that the other does not. Many newer drums don't require weights, meaning this won't necessarily be an issue.
Attach a weight to a drum that does not have one -- you'll need to weld the exact same type of weight in the exact same location as the other drum. It may be much easier to move on to Step 6.
Replace both brake drums with a new set that comes in a pair. A full new set should be perfectly balanced. Slide these drums into position on the wheel studs.
Reconnect the brake disc and caliper (if needed), and then reconnect the wheels. Lower the car.

Efficient image compression system using a CMOS transform imager
Lee, Jungwon
MetadataShow full item record
This research focuses on the implementation of the efficient image compression system among the many potential applications of a transform imager system. The study includes implementing the image compression system using a transform imager, developing a novel image compression algorithm for the system, and improving the performance of the image compression system through efficient encoding and decoding algorithms for vector quantization. A transform imaging system is implemented using a transform imager, and the baseline JPEG compression algorithm is implemented and tested to verify the functionality and performance of the transform imager system. The computational reduction in digital processing is investigated from two perspectives, algorithmic and implementation. Algorithmically, a novel wavelet-based embedded image compression algorithm using dynamic index reordering vector quantization (DIRVQ) is proposed for the system. DIRVQ makes it possible for the proposed algorithm to achieve superior performance over the embedded zero-tree wavelet (EZW) algorithm and the successive approximation vector quantization (SAVQ) algorithm. However, because DIRVQ requires intensive computational complexity, additional focus is placed on the efficient implementation of DIRVQ, and highly efficient implementation is achieved without a compromise in performance.

Mines of Ithoa: Chapter 7
Words: 17508
Behind the locked door was a square room. More lanterns lined the walls, flickering hither and thither. The perimeter of the room was separated from the center with thick metal walls that seemed to form another room. Leaving the entranceway and turning to the right, facing the metal box, Jothal saw another reinforced door that had a small window striped with bars through which an observer might peek inside. The door had what Jothal could only assume was a lock on it, and, after attempting to push or pull the door open, Jothal was quite sure of this. It had more strange runes on it and a small keyhole. Jothal decided to check the perimeter for any more traps before she would investigate the metal box. Sounds of metal being dragged, low rumbling, and the occasional watery sound filled Jothal's ears. She had to be careful.
The rest of the room revealed little information to Jothal regarding the box's contents. There were one or two sets of chains on the walls, a few rusty weapons leaned up against the walls, more old books written in strange languages, and bags of white powder. A set of keys were dangled right outside of the box's door, which Jothal thought might come in handy later, alongside a few pairs of gloves and a bucket. One of the old books was laid open on top of a cabinet. Even though Jothal could not read the writing, she could see more sketches of strange symbols, diagrams of anatomy from many races, and drawings of intricate apparatuses. The page was overflowing with the lines, curves, and a smudge or two. The book looked like some sort of journal. She noticed that there was yet another hallway branching off. How far did these caverns go? Jothal turned towards the metal box. She had found no traps but no answers. Clearing the fears from her mind and exhaling deeply, Jothal moved towards the box's door, held up her shield, and looked inside.
Only the faint glowing of the torches reached the inside of the box, providing a few thin rectangles of light. Jothal turned her headlamp back on, casting her orange beam around the room. The floor was a mix of deep reds and browns, and the walls were coated with thick layers of earth. The metal box appeared to have been last cleaned sometime last age and was filled with many indiscernible lumps. As she shone her light on one of the lumps, trying in vain to find a recognizable shape, the lump jostled and rolled over, making a sickening squish sound. Jothal pulled away from the window quickly, gathered her wits, readjusted her shield, and turned back to the window. Looking back through the bars, she saw that the lump had sat up, if you could call what it was doing "sitting up." She could now see that it had a frame not unlike that of an Ithoan, although it was somewhat thicker and squatter. However, there were very distinct arms and legs, and it had the pale flesh of a newborn Ithoan. It appeared to be turned away from her. Its back, or what Jothal thought to be its back, had a raised, pinkish pentagram on it.
"H-hello?" Jothal called, her voice wavering. The creature turned it's fleshy head towards her. Jothal could now see two sunken eyes staring back at her over a nose and a thin line of a mouth. It's eyes squinted shut as it raised an arm, a low groan coming from it's closed mouth. Jothal could feel that it was trying to respond to her, but it looked like it was in a great deal of pain. She heard a sound coming from the hallway.
"Shhh." Jothal whispered. "Don't hurt yourself…" She looked around the room for another lump, and her orange beam glanced over another pale figure. This time, the figure was very clearly Ithoan but with blue feathers jutting out from its back. It almost looked as if someone had stuck the feathers into a lump of clay and forgotten them there. This figure did not respond to the light. Glancing about the room, she could see at least a dozen more creatures, all distinctly Ithoan and at the same time distinctly not. One had a cluster of mushrooms growing from a leg, another had turned a sickly shade of purple, and yet another had lost its limbs entirely. One creature with patches of thick fur on its body was chained to the wall. A number of these creatures had responded to Jothal's headlamp by now. A few had cowered in a corner of the metal box, while two had approached the door. One figure was the tallest of the lot and looked as if half of his face had been turned into stone. The other approaching creature had completely white eyes and seemed to be holding on to the stone-faced one's shoulder for support.
"Hello?" Jothal greeted the two carefully, readying her shield and Rankein in case they attempted to harm her.
"You're not one of them, are you?" The stone-faced one asked her, a hint of fear in his voice. When he spoke, only half of his face moved while the stony half remained frozen. Jothal tried not to stare.
"One of whom?"
"The robed men. You aren't here to kill us?"
"No… Not if you aren't posing any threat." Jothal raised Rankein in a warning. The stone-faced man looked tired. He relaxed, as if releasing some large amount of tension. Jothal lowered Rankein in response. "I'm just searching around for whatever has been causing disappearances in this mine. You don't think your robed men had anything to do with that?" The stone man's eye perked up slightly.
"A mine… That sounds vaguely familiar. I think I may have heard them talking about a mine. I can't quite remember though." His mouth contorted where it was able. Jothal could see that the man was searching some long lost part of his brain for information that would never be found. She sighed.
"Why are you locked up here anyway?" Jothal asked. The man again looked confused.
"I'm… not sure…" he mused, half of his brow furrowed with deep thought. "All I know is that every now and then, a robed man takes one of us away from here, and when we return, we aren't the same." He looked at the white-eyed man that was holding on to his shoulder. "None of us can remember what they do to us. My friend here was taken away just yesterday. He's been blind ever since." The white-eyed man bowed his head towards the ground. "We've taken to calling each other by the modifications we've received. Well, those who can talk. I'm Stone."
"Aptly named. I'm Jothal." she replied.
"You've got to help us. I don't know how long we've been trapped here…" Stone pleaded. Jothal was skeptical. There was something wrong with the whole situation, but, looking at the state of some of the other men, she knew that these men were not here of their own choice. She remembered the keys on the wall near her. It was worth a shot.
"I'll help you, under one condition." Jothal offered. "You tell me where or when I can find these robed men and tell me more about them, and I'll set you free."
"It's a deal!" Stone replied enthusiastically. "The men come by every day to give us some scraps of food. They haven't been by today yet, so I expect they will be here soon. I don't know what they're capable, or if they're working for anyone, but you ought to be careful. They're some kind of magic users…"
"Okay. How many of them are there? Are they armed? How do th—" Jothal's flow of questions were muffled by a gloved hand covering her mouth and a strong pair of arms wrapped around her arms, pinning them to her sides.
"I guess you'll be able to find the answers you seek rather soon, hmm?" She heard a voice from behind her, heard the solid thunk of a shovel on the back of her head, and then saw only darkness.
When Jothal regain consciousness, she was tied tightly to a table. She felt weak and could not summon strength to even move her aching head. She could see that there were multiple bowls burning incense around her. The sweet scent filled her nose and stuffed her lungs. A robed man approached and bent his head over her to get a better look. He was wearing a blood red cloak and some sort of medallion. His head had been shaved, and his muddy brown eyes were somewhat piercing despite their subdued color.
"Now, now child… Back to sleep for you. You'll need all the rest you can get." Jothal fought her eyes to stay open, but the thick air and sickly smell urged her into slumber. She sunk back into darkness.
She woke up back in the room, tied to the same table. However, the bowls had been removed, the man was gone, and she felt woozy and numb. She was wrapped in linen cloth from neck to lower torso and could not move her arms, but she could wiggle somewhat. She was afraid for what has about to happen. Her mind raced with possibilities, each new one making her heart race faster than the last. At least now she had recovered some of her strength. She tried to sit up, but the ropes held her hostage. She tried to wiggle her feet and in the process knocked over some poor unsuspecting object that clattered to the ground. She heard footsteps scuttling towards her in the distance.
"Ah, you're awake again!" She heard her captor's voice. The same robed man from earlier had entered the room and was looking her over. "I am so excited to see how my latest creation has turned out!" The man loosened her restraints and began to unravel the linens. "You'll be good for me now, won't you?" The man looked into Jothal's eyes with raised eyebrows and an infuriatingly cocky half-smile. "Of course you won't." He answered himself. "Nothing a little spell can't fix." The man uttered some words that Jothal couldn't understand, and almost instantly, her body went completely limp. The man smiled and then unwrapped her fully. She struggled to keep the man in her view, but again found muscle function impossible. She caught a glimpse of the man's face. He was frowning.
"Now that isn't right, is it…?" The man asked no one. She appeared to be prodding somewhere on Jothal's upper torso with an instrument, but she couldn't feel a thing. After a few minutes of this, Jothal saw the man leave the table, carrying something large and spindly and then return with more instruments. His arms and hands were splashed with blood. Jothal felt light headed.
"Alright… that'll have to do…" The robed man muttered to himself. He raised a hand to his pointy chin for a moment. "Yes, that'll do." The man turned to Jothal. "Would you like to see? I would suppose you'd be curious." She muttered some more unfamiliar words, and Jothal felt her muscles regain their strength. She saw that the man was motioning towards her left arm. Jothal sat up slowly and looked towards her arm, but something was wrong.
"My arm!" Jothal exclaimed in a raspy shout. "What have you done to my arm?!" Where Jothal had once possessed a strong left arm was now a crudely patched up stump. The stump had a raised, pinkish pentagram on it.
"Yes, well… This spell was supposed to have lengthened your arm, but all it managed to do was wither it." The man replied, looking at the pages of an old book not unlike the ones Jothal had seen in previous rooms. He tossed the book aside haphazardly. "It would seem that these books are rather useless after all." Jothal's heart was like a miner's pickaxe in her chest. She would never make it back home like this. And even if she did, what kind of life awaited her? No life she would want to live.
"What have you done to me? Why?" Jothal demanded. The man barely glanced her way.
"You Ithoans and your questions. I thought you miners were supposed to be a dull bunch."
"Miners?" Jothal asked. "Is that who…" Jothal thought back to the metal cage. "You're the reason that the miners have been missing?"
"Well, one man's lost is another man's found. Yes, I suppose it was me, but it was necessary. I need the subjects, and you don't get many volunteers for experimental magic these days. What better place to find a supply of subjects than in a mine? People go missing all the time I'm told."
"But what about the iron ore?" Jothal asked angrily. "Did you take that, too?"
"Terribly sorry. That spell was supposed to turn a man's skin as hard as iron, not summon every bit of iron in Lithilen." The man huffed. "Nevertheless, you won't be needing the iron anyway."
"Why?" Jothal asked.
"Well, once I've built an army for Azzasmar, your little town will have a lot more to worry about than ore." The man chuckled to himself. "I just need a few more test subjects and then I can help bring the great demon to power once more!" Jothal frowned. Demon? Azzasmar? She vaguely recalled hearing the name from bedtime stories, but the memories escaped her. All she knew was that this man was up to no good. The man took up a cloth and began to wipe down some metal instruments. Jothal waited for him to reach for another tool, and then lunged at him with her right arm.
The man was too fast for her carefully timed attack. He stepped out of her way, letting Jothal tumble to the ground in agony. Her numbness had begun to subside, sending shooting pains to the arm that was there no more. She writhed in agony.
"Foolish girl." The man shook his head at her disapprovingly. "You should know better than to attack a dark wizard." He muttered a few strange words and Jothal again went limp. "We'll have to make sure you don't injure that other arm of yours. It would be a shame to lose another beautiful specimen. Right this way." The man said, moving her onto a rolling cart. "Let's visit your friends again shall we?" They rolled down the hallway and, to Jothal's dismay, back towards the metal box. The man unlocked the door with the key and lowered Jothal inside. As she crossed the doorway, the box seemed to glow briefly. "There you are. Be good now." With that, the man left from their sight. Jothal's heart sank. She was never going to get home.
