About Me
I'm the photographer behind Naked Sushi Orlando and would like to have a Model Mayhem presence to cast models interested in being part of our collection of Geishas to model and work for our events. We are company predicated on showcasing the sacred japanese art known as Nyotaimori. Nyotaimori (Naked Sushi) is a well-accepted and practiced tradition in Japan. It is recognized as an art form and has been part of the Geisha culture dating back hundreds of years. It is based on the idea that sushi is made to delight.
The rough translation of the word Nyotaimori is "Adorned body of a woman". This type of art (yes, it's an art) is well accepted in Japan. Tokyo is world famous for this type of dinner theatre and art practice. It has spread to popularity in cities the likes of New York , San Francisco, and Los Angeles…and now Naked Sushi Orlando brings the experience of Nyotaimori to you!
Please visit our website for information on what we're all about and how to book your own Nyotaimori event.

But it works as per help:
"ArcTan[z] gives the arc tangent tan^-1(z) of the complex number z.
ArcTan[x,y] gives the arc tangent of y/x, taking into account which quadrant
the point (x,y) is in. "
May be you meant to say:
In[33]:= N[ArcTan[0.5], $MachinePrecision]
Out[33]= 0.4636476090008061
In[34]:= ArcTan[0.5]
Out[34]= 0.4636476090008061

He Is the Almighty
I pray . . . that you may know . . . his incomparably great power for us who believe.
Ephesians 1:18–19, niv
What problem are you facing that is bigger than you are? Praise God for the omnipotence of Jesus Christ! He is the Almighty—mightier than all. Greater, more powerful, than any problem or situation you or I will ever face. In fact, one reason God allows us to have problems and be in situations that seem bigger than we are is so we can discover His "incomparably great power for us who believe."
If our lives are easy, and if all we ever attempt for God is what we know we can handle, how will we ever experience His omnipotence in our lives?
It is when we are in over our heads . . .
when we are cornered with no way out . . .
when we are facing the Red Sea in front of us, the desert on either side of us, and the Egyptian army in back of us . . .
that's when we discover His power!
The Vision of His Glory

Yellow Jacket Tennis Bests Bethel by Score of 6-3
Related Links
DEFIANCE, Ohio – The Defiance College men's tennis program notched its fourth victory in its last five matches on Friday afternoon, as the Yellow Jackets pulled out a 6-3 win over non-conference opponent Bethel College.
The Purple and Gold claimed points in two out of the three doubles matches, as each position was highly competitive. The one doubles team of Ryan Nelson and Cord Speelman held off the Pilots by a final of 9-7, while Mike Ross and Craig Bills recorded an 8-5 victory.
The Yellow Jackets used the momentum from doubles and carried it into their singles play. Ross and Bills cruised to wins at the one and four positions respectively in straight-set fashion, while Nelson and Tyler Thiel gutted out three set victories to give DC the 6-3 win.
The win marks the first time the team recorded multiple three-set wins in a match.
Defiance's record improves to 5-7 on the season with the victory. The Purple and Gold is back in action on Wednesday, April 10, as the squad travels to Manchester to take on the Spartans in a Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference showdown. The match is scheduled to begin at 4:00 p.m.

Foster's Only a Freshman
Reuben Foster tallied over 100 tackles in 2009 and he was only a freshman. He made plays in the backfield against five-star running back Isaiah Crowell when Troup County played Carver and he was playing in a cast that game. Foster is that good.
In Atlanta, Foster measured in at just over 6-feet tall, he weighed 205 pounds, and he ran the 40 yard dash in 4.74 seconds. Put those things with his natural skills, very good instincts, and his ability to listen to coaches, and you have one of the top linebackers in Georgia right now.
He really reads plays about as fast as they can be read from his position. He recognizes things very quickly, he gets to the ball in a hurry, and he takes a very good first step that most of the time seems to be the right one. Another key thing he showed in drills at this event that he does well is take good angles. He does not over-pursue or run more than he has to.
Tuitt Took Control
The biggest name in recruiting entering this event was Stephon Tuitt and he was it leaving as well.
He measured in at 6-foot-6 and close to 260 pounds and he lit it up between the lines. He showed good feet through the drills and he took all the coaching in before turning it up a notch when the one on ones got going.
Tuitt was unstoppable there and he wasn't even slowed down by any of the offensive linemen he paired up with. He showed a burst off the ball and he really dropped his hips well to turn the corner.
The junior out of Monroe (GA) Monroe Area was named top overall prospect at the camp and he showed why he has been offered by the likes of Clemson, Florida, Georgia, Georgia Tech, Notre Dame, and South Carolina among others.
Deep at Linebacker
There were a list of names thrown out by coaches and scouts towards the end of the camp when we were getting ready to name the top linebacker of this event.
Herrera is already committed to the University of Georgia and Foster is only a freshman, but the others are still looking to impress to earn scholarship offers.
Smith traveled down from South Carolina to participate in this event and he could have walked as the best linebacker in camp. He really showed good instincts, he reacted quickly, and he competed hard throughout the day.
Hunt-Days still only has a couple of offers on the table and he is one of the most talented athletes in Georgia. He could play outside linebacker, fullback, or H-Back in college.
Dupaty is versatile like Hunt-Days. He is a 6-foot-2.5, 216 pound athlete that ran the 40 yard dash in 4.67 seconds. He could play linebacker across the board as well as fullback.
Mincy, Chubb, and Joiner all shined as well and the depth at this position was very good.
Marcus and Moore At It Again
This duo is about as competitive as they come and they are also two of the top defensive back prospects in the state of Georgia.
Moore was the top performer at NUC and Marcus edged him out this time. Marcus made an outstanding diving play to break up a pass late in the event and that put him over the top for not only the top safety, but the top overall defensive back.
Marcus has an offer from Auburn, Connecticut, Kentucky, Memphis, Middle Tennessee, Purdue, South Carolina, Stanford, and Western Kentucky and Moore has already committed to Georgia. Marcus measured in at 6-foot-1.5 and 192 pounds and decided not to run the 40 yard dash while Moore ran a 4.45 in the 40 yard dash at 6-foot-1 and 205 pounds.
You will be hearing a lot more out of these two in the future as they make plays on the college level.
Young Corners
Ronnie Harris and Jared Boyd were the top two corners there, but they were followed by a group of young guys that know how to cover.
Geno Smith (2012 – St. Pius), Joshua Holsey (2012 – Creekside), Ryan Dillard (2012 – Buford), Evan Berry (2014 – Creekside), Ezra Robinson (2012 – Booker), and Tim Hill (2012 – Mill Creek) are all underclassmen and they are all on track to becoming top Division I prospects at their position.
Smith is long, he breaks on the ball well, and he already has an offer from Auburn. He has very good length and footwork at corner.
Hill is very fluid, he back peddles well, and he has nice ball skills also. Holsey could be a safety or corner on the next level because of his ability to tackle and play physical, but he will likely be pursued as a corner. Robinson is right at 6-feet tall and he needs to improve his quickness and footwork, but he is a natural athlete with skills. Berry is only a rising freshman, but he already has it – the younger brother of Eric Berry ran the 40 yard dash in 4.46 seconds and he has hips and ball skills like a top 2011 recruit.
Jarrett's Better Than Offer List
What is the real concern with Grady Jarrett? When you see him compete live or on film, you see his explosive first step, you see him keep his hands active, you see him play with a low pad level, and you see him win a lot more battles than he loses.
Is it his size? He measured in exactly 6-feet, 2-inches tall and he weighed again right at 275 pounds. In the 40 yard dash, he was timed at 5.33 seconds. Those initial 10 yards, he moves exceptionally well.
Jarrett only has an offer from Western Kentucky and he is much better than that. He can play a one gap defensive tackle in a 3-4 scheme or be used as speed guy that closes the pocket at defensive tackle in a 4-3 scheme. He is very strong at the point of attack and he is a much better player than his offer list would lead those on the outside to think.
At the MVP Camp, Jarrett competed and he walked away being named the top defensive lineman of the event. Look for more offers to come his way in the coming months.

Post pictures of dreads, the pros and cons of having them, up keep, and general advice... I'm considering locking my hair in college (mom refuses to let me have them under her roof) but I still haven't made a definite decision.
I think thy are really cute when they are kinda crimpy.
pro: dont have to do your hair every morning.
con: I think you have to cut most of your hair off if you dont want them anymore
There is a great coffee table book called DREAD'S by Alice Walker that has some fabulous pictures. Go to a bookstore and have a look!!!
Pros: Hair grows fast and gets very long.
Cons: To keep it neat, you must interlock every 5-6 weeks. You can learn to do it yourself.
upkeep depends on how long they get and how you want them to look. it can generally range from super easy (freeformers tend to simply wash/condition/separate) to super involved (i.e. sisterlocks).
the most work will come on wash day or if you want to do a style. you have to be patient in the beginning because your starter locs will not look anything like the finished product, and may take a long time to go solid.
they aren't rocket science and you can probably keep them up yourself, but I would leave cutting/coloring/starting to a pro (jmo-some people do everything themselves)
i prefer the term locs...i started mine myself. i loved having them. your hair can be nice and long. day to day is pretty easy. maintenance depends on how fast your hair grows and how neat you like your hair. you can cut your locs into a style (i saw a cute bob in essence recently). i'm a professional and i got my job with my hair in the loc bun pic. i also got offered a job with my hair loose and natural. check out my pics. that was my locs at 5 years.
thanks for the advice guys!
luvmylocs I love your locs! they're gorgeous!! and so shiny :D My hair is already about four inches long in two strand twists...would I have to cut it to start them or could I just twist my hair and leave it that way until it locks up??
if you are a product minimalist, and you don't mind a little natural fuzziness, they can be low-maintenance and fun.
i don't have locs, but i have family and friends who do, and i've been chemical-free most of my life, so i'm confident in the advice that i'm giving you.
1. you can start your locs and maintain them by yourself. you can start them with 2-strand twists, palm-rolled coils, braids, or freeform from an afro. however you choose to start them, make sure the base of the loc is about the thickness of a pencil. if they are too thin, you'll experience breakage down the road. if they are too thick, it will take longer for them to matt and loc and the individual locs will be heavier as they mature, which can cause stress on your scalp years down the road.
2. you do not have to forgo cleansing your scalp to form locs. your scalp should be shampooed 1-2 times a week just to keep sebum and perspiration washed away. don't worry about coils or twists unraveling. redo the ones that become undone or just leave them alone and let them loc that way.
3. choose a residue-free shampoo. you won't want to use conditioning shampoos that leave your hair coated, nor will you want to use leave-in conditioners, as they attract lint and dirt, which will embed in the locs and make them dirty and difficult to get totally clean. your focus should be on cleansing your scalp. a light, natural oil smoothed throughout your locs should be an adequate conditioner. avoid wax, shea butter, cocoa butter, coconut oil, pretty much anything that is solid at room temperature. it will create a nasty buildup within your locs that will never come out, no matter how much clarifying you do. trust me, i've seen it, and what you'll end up with are clean-looking locs on the outside, but nasty ooze from product buildup on the inside of each loc, which will make them feel heavy in time. clean locs should feel light and spongy, regardless of texture.
4. some people have good results with liquid castile soap as a shampoo. just be mindful to dilute really well because these soaps can leave residue if you aren't careful.
5. personally, i would use a nonsoap cleansing method like a baking soda paste with a couple of drops of oil added and rubbed into the scalp, then rinsed away. or green clay, which is a good skin cleanser and will wash away easily under a steady stream of water.
6. buy a nice scarf (satin, cotton, silk, whatever) to keep your hair wrapped at night or when you are lounging around or in windy weather when dust is blowing around to prevent lint and debris from becoming trapped in your locs, as you won't be able to brush or comb or even pick out debris as easily as you would with loose hair.
7. be patient with the formation of your locs. if you have multiple textures on your head, as many people do, you may notice that parts of your head will loc faster than others. everyone goes through an awkward stage of locing in the beginning. you can use scarves, head wraps, etc., to get through those periods.
8. your locs can be manicured, meaning, you will want to keep all fuzziness at bay by twisting your newgrowth regularly, showing evenly parted sections on your scalp. or you may want semi freeform, where you simply gently pull apart your locs after a fresh shampoo to discourage the fuzzies from matting and connecting locs. or you may want to have organic locs, in which you will let your hair do what it will do, creating spaghetti thin locs in some places, and fat ones in other areas. most people don't wear organic locs, especially if they plan to work in corporate environments. if you plan to have manicured locs, just make sure you don't overtwist them, as the constant twisting of the new growth can weaken the base of your locs and create breakage down the road. there are some people who use crochet-like hooks to keep the base of their locs from fuzzing too much. it's called latching. you can do a search for that. personally, that seems too time-consuming and unnatural. but everything isn't for everyone.
i don't know of any cons of having loced hair. as long as they are clean and clear of lint and dirt, as long as your scalp is regularly cleansed from the beginning and is healthy, your loced hair can be as flattering and fun as any other natural hairstyle.
Re: locs (I call them locs because "others" coined them as "dreadful," but they are truly wonderful)...
PROS: low-maintenance after the budding phase, incredibly versatile, attractive when properly kept
CONS: budding phase can be tough for some, especially those with fine or wavier hair.
The pros far outweigh the cons, IMHO. I have a mostly fine head of 3c/4a hair. The first time I loc'ed, it took about 6 months of comb-coiling and handrolling (just gel and essential oils; nothing waxy or greasy) before I got to the budding phase. I don't know how much you know about the process, but the bud is the bump that forms in the middle of a coil -- the beginning of the loc -- which then flattens and spreads up in both directions until you have a uniform (or mostly uniform) loc.
I've got tons of information, because I was loc'ed twice for a total of about 8 years. I had a so-so experience the first time and a fabulous experience the second time. unicast me if you want to know more -- I'll be happy to share what I know and answer any questions you might have. Grace, peace, and life be unto you.
Thanks for all the advice guys! I'll keep you posted on my desicion ;)
I'm not planning on locking anytime soon, but I just wanna thank Shones and rainshower for all the insight into the process!
i just started locs last night. Im so sick of my loose hair. i might still post here though.
you can start your locs at whatever length they are. i had some good length when i started mine too. just remember you can wash and even style them as your hair is locking but you don't want to overtwist or do too much manipulation or use creamy products (it will get locked in your loc)...shiny, healthy looking locs are dependent on CLEAN healthy locs!!! oils are locs best friend....not creamy stuff and butters.
-You no longer have to cut the locs out if you want your loose hair back:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VEcZPP-yzdk (she had her locs for 2yrs)
http://images.google.com/imgres?imgu...%3D2%26hl%3Den (she had her locs for 7yrs)
-Detangling is a breeze
-depending on the size and number of locs you can pretty much recreate any relaxed/loose hair style
-they're gorgeous
-products last longer
-its okay to go to bed w/ wet hair
-take a while to grow
-depending on how fast your hair grows you would have to constantly retwist your hair.
-you can no longer straighten your hair
-takes a LONG time to un-loc the locs.
I highly recommend knottyboy.com I tried the dread thing, but my husband said they looked like poo (literally) and not quite made me, but strongly suggested i comb them out and i did, but for the 3 days i had them i used knotty boy products and continued to use the shampoo and are still using the gel, so even if they don't work out, the products are still awesome.
be careful on going to bed with wet hair and locs. it can make your hair funky/mildewy. i used to do that and then i noticed a smell. i started washing my hair in the morning and allowing it to dry all day. smell went away. you will be amazed at what stays in your locs so be very careful on what you use and maintenance, including washing, conditioning and drying your hair. the same rules of loose hair don't apply.
also while it is "possible" to undo your locs i tried to do that with one loc and it took me hours and what i was left with was very disappointing. hair sheds, when you loc it doesn't shed. all that hair is in there so when you undo a loc some of the hair that has been retained in the loc will still be lost because it technically has already shed anyway. plus with locs you don't really deep condition your hair, etc so when you undo your locs don't expect this flowing healthy hair. it hasn't been nurtured that way. not trying to discourage you from growing locs but i would really tell anyone that if you loc plan to let it go when you don't want locked hair anymore. going between locs and loose hair really isn't interchangeable. this is even more true the longer you have the locs. when i first started my locs i undid it within 4 months because i didn't like the size. a friend helped me and i had some loss hair but i doubt my hair would have been salvageable had i gone much beyond that.
i felt like my locked hair grew and showed the length a LOT faster than my now loose again hair. i think a big reason is because there is no shedding. everything stays in the loc. and my hair grew down not out. shrinkage wasn't as much of an issue really. i had a ponytail in a short period of time. plus since you don't have to do as much daily manipulation it really just grows like a weed. i cut my locs almost 2 years ago and if i stretch and pull i can see the length but if i had locs i know it would look a lot longer. and even though you can't straighten the hair my long locs had the appearance of "straight" hair and was certainly flexible for a number of traditionally straight hair styles. i'm baised though because i've never straightened my hair with a flat iron or blow dryer so that wasn't an issue but if you like bone straight hair, it doesn't happen with locs.
also i wouldn't advise twisting more than ever 4 weeks. you don't want the base of your locs to get too weak. i don't know the maintenance schedule for sisterlocks so maybe that's different but my hair was thick and grew fast and i never had a broken or weak loc but i resisted the urge to have perfectly fresh roots all the time. it's not worth it to have thin, weak locs.
Hi there! I'm a week into my starter locs...barely, and I've been wondering if its ok to wet them on a regular basis? And do any of you who are loced up used garnier fructis gel to retwist?
is the garnier clear or cream? beware of creams they can stay in your hair. actually carols daughter mimosa hair honey was nice in locs. go lightly though. my friend that used to twist my locs used plain aloe vera gel. it worked well.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|I too replaced my old datamarine stuff with Tack Tick. As a temporary solution (someday I will glass it over properly) I covered the old holes with Starboard then attached the Tack Tick mounts to that, plus I made up some mounts for the helm, so I can move them to the helm or bulkhead in the cockpit depending on the need. Both areas get enough light to keep them charged. I thought about using team but the thought of more brightwork changed my mind LOL
Tacktick Mounting Opinions/Questions
Replacing the 2 old Datamarine Speed and Depth w/ T108 Wind and Dual Display Speed/Depth. I like what Sailingdog did by mounting his in a single opening port, but I'd like to consider using the existing cutouts for the new instruments w/o cutting or drilling any new holes.
The 2 TT displays are removable from their mounts so I was considering mounting a deck plate into each of the 2 existing 4" holes and simply securing the TT mounts to those plates. What I'd rather not do, is drill additional wholes around the circumference of the trim ring on the deck plate.
I found these compression deckplates, although they're of the wrong diameter, it's the general idea:
Water tight Deckplates by Armstrong Nautical Products
Here's what I'm imagining:

India's action comes ahead of the January 13 deadline for the indictment in New York of Khobragade, Deputy Consul General in New York, on visa fraud charges.
Acting tough, the government has asked the embassy to stop commercial activities undertaken under the aegis of the American Community Support Association (ACSA), including restaurant/bar, video club, bowling alley, swimming pool, sports field, beauty parlour and gym.
The US has also been asked to provide the tax returns filed by it with Indian authorities for commercial activities which are afforded through ACSA to non-diplomatic persons, including private American citizens and their families, government sources said here. Indian authorities have cited the provision of such commercial facilities to non-diplomats as a violation of Article 41(3) of the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations 1961.
The Convention states that "the premises of the mission must not be used in any manner incompatible with the functions of the mission as laid down in the present Convention or by other rules of general international law or by any special agreements in force between the sending and the receiving State."
It is also understood the US diplomatic vehicles will now attract penalties for all traffic-related offences such as unauthorised parking, red light jumping, dangerous driving etc.
Necessary action against Vehicles with AF (Applied for) number plates is also on the cards.

Here is my beauty.
Black on Black. Nightmare to keep clean....
Sweet unit MW! Are your front side windows tinted? 35%? or 50%?
Front windows are tinted with GSN30. Probably should have gone with 40, it's lighter. Oh well we'll see what happens.
No way, 30% looks awesome! I'm going to go 20% on mine to match the rear windows. I had 20% all the way around in my Cobalt too (well, short of the windshield, cuz that's just stupid :bang2:).
Alright, here is ours. One week old, and from what I can tell, the first white one on the site.
Nice! It is the Cadillac Pearl white? Or a metallic white? or just a gloss white?
Its basically pearl.
The interior is black. Leather since its the AWD luxary collection.
Im not a big white fan, but the black one they had on the lot didn't have the options we wanted... plus, the wife wanted white (who was I to say no?)
SRX AWD, Chrystal Red, Shale/Brownstone Interior, Premium Collection, Rear Infotainment System
Just took delivery Nov 17th. Just got around to posting some pics.
I had a hard time picking the color. Black and Imperial Blue are nice, but they show every spec of dust. Just didn't like the Caribbean Blue. It came down to a choice between Chrystal Red and Platinum Ice. My last three cars were white, or some variation thereof, so I decided to deviate from the norm.
At least this gives you guys/gals a chance to see what the mud guards look like.
nice looking ride sube. I got the rear seat infotainment center too. Nice system. Haven't seen it in red yet, but based on your photos, it looks pretty sweet.

Newcastle have been watching Lille again a number of times this season.
Mathieu Debuchy – are Newcastle scouting this player?
Two of Newcastle's targets last year played for the the French Champions, and we signed Yohan Cabaye and tried to sign their winger/striker Gervinho, but after a fee of £10M had been agreed, Newcastle apparently pulled out of the deal.
And if the local press is to believed, the reason for that was based on Gervinho's character, and during the meetings with Newcastle, he was said to be continually texting on his phone.
That may have not been the only reason Newcastle did not pursue the winger, but it was probably in some way based on the lad's character, and there were some reports over the summer actually saying his character was suspect, so that story could even be true.
But now there is news from Joe Cole at Lille, that Alan Pardew has been seen around six times at Lille games this season.
Eden Hazard is a big target for some top clubs, but the fee for the 21 year-old Belgium play-maker, is way out of the range of Newcastle.
And in any case the Tyneside club wants to unearth players, who do not have high transfer fees on them – yet.
Alan Pardew works closely with Newcastle Chief Scout Graham Carr, and Alan said recently he would be taking in some games before the end of the season, to make checks on the Newcastle summer targets.
One player it could be is 26 year-old right back and French International Mathieu Debuchy, who has been linked recently with Newcastle, and is very good friends with Yohan Cabaye.
Mathieu made his debt for Lille back in 2003, and has so far played 279 times for his local club, and scored 17 goals, and it's the only club he has ever played for.
That's much like Yohan Cabaye history, and Cabaye had only played for local club Lille before joining Newcastle last summer.
That's our best bet for who we may be watching, any other ideas who Newcastle may be targeting at Lille?
Comments welcome.

Damontre Harris No Longer With Gators
GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Redshirt junior Damontre Harris will not continue with the Florida Gators men's basketball program.
Harris transferred to UF in 2012 and sat out of practice most of his redshirt season (2012-13) with an injury. He has been suspended since the beginning of the season and never appeared in a game at UF.
"He was never disrespectful as far as his attitude," head coach Billy Donovan said. "He was a nice kid and never blamed anybody for what was happening. We tried to help him off the court and help him with some of the challenges he was dealing with, but there was never this reciprocation of wanting to be helped, or wanting to do the things necessary."
Harris completed the semester at Florida in good academic standing and has been granted permission to transfer to any school without restrictions.

[MLS: Week 19] Look who's moving on up: the LA Galaxy buried New England, 5-1, to extend its unbeaten streak to eight games spanning two months and climb three spots in the Western Conference standings into third place. In the Eastern Conference, Sporting Kansas City moved on top with a 2-1 win at Columbus on Benny Feilhaber's goal in stoppage time. Beleaguered Philly stopped New York's unbeaten streak with a 3-1 victory that moved it into sixth place, a point away from the red zone.
LOS ANGELES-NEW ENGLAND. Robbie Keane had two goals and two assists -- his first-ever multi-goal and multi-assist game in his MLS
career -- while Gyasi Zardes continued his hot streak with two more goals in the win over the Revs, who have lost six straight games after winning five in a
row. Zardes scored his fifth and sixth goal of the season, all coming in the last eight matches.
MLS veteran Dan Gargan was ejected for the first
time in his 14-game MLS career nine minutes after A.J. Soares was sent to the showers with the Revs trailing, 2-0. The five goals were the most the Galaxy has
scored since October 2013. It also remained the only team in MLS whose season average for goals-against is below one goal a game.
PHILADELPHIA-NEW YORK. Conor Casey,
Fred and Sebastien Le Toux scored as the Union snapped a seven-game home winless streak by beating the Red Bulls, 3-1, at PPL Park. Goals by Casey and Fred opened up a two-goal
lead, the same advantage the Union squandered last week in a 3-3 tie with Colorado, but this time the Union prevailed.
Nine minutes after Bradley Wright-Phillips scored his
league-leading 16th goal of the season, Le Toux converted a penalty kick to halt New York's unbeaten run at five games.
The Crew and Sporting Kansas City each had a man sent off in their match decided in stoppage time at Columbus Crew Stadium. A Feilhaber corner kick provided C.J. Sapong the chance he
buried for his first goal of the year, and SKC went down a man in the 55th minute when defender Aurelien Collin departed following a clash with Adam
Columbus took advantage in the 69th minute, albeit with an own goal by defender Igor Juliao, who directed a cross past his own keeper. Despite the man advantage, the
Crew couldn't gain the lead, and a few minutes after the teams were left even when midfielder Wil Trapp saw a second caution, Feilhaber blasted home a shot off the inside of the crossbar.
TORONTO FC-VANCOUVER. A Jermain
Defoe penalty kick, his 11th goal of the season, matched a Darren Mattocks goal as Toronto FC rallied to tie Vancouver, 1-1.

The Office of Civic & Community Engagement at the University of Miami is launching our Urban and Environmental Sustainability Initiative for the 2012/2013 academic year. As we grapple with how best to address the depletion of natural resources, accelerating urban growth, poverty, hunger, and environmental degradation, it is clear that examining sustainability from multiple perspectives is essential. This initiative presents an opportunity to work collaboratively across fields towards multidisciplinary learning and innovative solutions. The University of Miami seeks to address these challenges by bringing together policy experts, not-for-profits, scientists, grassroots activists, urban planners, government agencies, community members, faculty, and students to identify needs, develop strategies for solutions, and help translate local activism into effective public policy. This initiative will look at both the historical and contemporary context for urban and environmental sustainability issues from both local and national perspectives. It will draw from models of what is being done well locally, nationally, and internationally, and will seek solutions for best practices while recognizing the unique elements that shape the natural and built environments of South Florida.
The Urban and Environmental Sustainability Initiative furthers the mission of the Office of Civic and Community Engagement, which is to enhance university-community collaborations by engaging the university's academic resources in the enrichment of civic and community life in South Florida, by bringing University students and faculty, national and local scholars, activists, practitioners, and community members to the same table to discuss issues of sustainability and to create university-community collaborations that address the issue in a more effective, comprehensive manner. By combining courses, public programs, and community partnerships, we seek to foster a climate in which innovative and effective solutions for sustainability and environmental issues can be thoroughly investigated and implemented on both local and global scales.
The Office of Civic & Community Engagement will host a range of public programs on a variety of topics relating to sustainability, including film screenings, lectures, and panel discussions. Faculty from multiple schools and colleges at UM will offer courses that relate to the variety of factors that relate to urban and environmental sustainability. The courses address topics including depletion of resources, social inequality, conservation, agricultural practice and policy, city planning and urban development, environmental justice, and natural and social ecologies. Students and faculty in these courses will work with community organizations to create an informal learning community that will enable students to translate their classroom learning into real-world experience and develop the capacity to promote innovative solutions and best practices. Through this initiative, we aim to create a local, multidisciplinary, cross-sector dialogue on ways to creatively and collaboratively address challenges and issues of common concern while collecting and disseminating relevant information and translating new knowledge into the implementation of more sustainable practices and public policy.

Blue Jays farmhand Farina suspended01/16/2013 5:50 PM ET
By Andrew Pentis / Special to MLB.com
Blue Jays farmhand Alan Farina, Toronto's third-round draftee in 2007 and a veteran of six seasons in the Minors, was suspended 50 games without pay following his second violation of the Minor League Drug Prevention and Treatment Program. Farina's positive test was for a drug of abuse, according to the Office of the Commissioner of Baseball, which made the announcement Wednesday afternoon.
Players who test positive for a drug of abuse -- marijuana, cocaine, opiates, etc. -- are typically not suspended until a second positive test under the Minor League Drug Prevention and Treatment Program.
Farina, who is currently on Class A Advanced Dunedin's roster, is a Clemson University product. He excelled in 2010 and '11, compiling a 1.29 ERA and 1.56 ERA, respectively, as a member of the Dunedin and Double-A New Hampshire bullpens. The 26-year-old righty took a step back last season, turning in a 5.18 ERA in 24 relief appearances at Dunedin.
Farina, whose suspension will take effect at the start of next season, is the fourth Minor Leaguer suspended in 2013. Astros prospect Jonathan Singleton accepted his punishment last Wednesday and two Minor League catchers were suspended Monday.

Haleakala National Park, Maui, HI
Ranger-led morning hikes often travel through volcanic landscapes up to the summit of the 10,000-foot volcano in Haleakala National Park; on a self-guided tour through the Hosmer Grove forest, you could spot an 'i'wi, a rare Hawaiian bird. Or spend a whole day hiking the Sliding Sands Trail through the eerily lovely crater itself, immersed in a wilderness of volcanic cinder, strange plants, and tumbling clouds.

Restoring ReVox G36 MKIII - Expert Opinions Solicited
I resurrected an old thread on the revox, so far the only responses have been to the original post from over 3yrs ago so I will not make that mistake again.
Anyway this fairly nice ReVox G36 MKIII 117V North American edition half track recorder fell into my lap recently and although I have worked on many of these decks and am relatively comfortable working on it, it has been a long time since the last one.
Long enough that although the selenium rectifiers and electrolytics all test good I seriously think I should without question replace them. Seems logical except that the design is so efficient that I will have to make significant changes to get voltages right. The only source of drop in replacement caps (vibroworld) seems to be gone, and no one seems to be able to tell me whether most decks still running are still using the stock supply components. Realistically at 42yrs out I would assume this is skirting disaster.. It's just that this deck is virgin and I want to do the updates with comparable parts that don't leave it looking like a hack worked on it.
This machine seems to be a low hours unit and hence should have a long remaining service life with care.
I'm also planning on some mods. Charlie King recommends removing the 5W PP amplifier which makes sense as this generates most of the heat in the electronics section due to its dissipation.
In addition the current input amplifier provides far too much gain with modern sources and basically I don't need it at all. I plan to just go right in at the recording level control. I could eliminate a further two tubes doing this if I so choose, but this would require modifying the dc filament supply. (Probably a performance enhancement actually)
I've replaced a couple of electrolytics in the replay electronics.
I have not yet run the deck, but I am told this is a high speed version. (7.5ips/15ips) I have not been able to prove or disprove this.. I have 15ips recorded tapes so that will be the acid test once I get it powered up.
Anyone have a guess as to what type of caps the motor phase shift caps are, and whether I should replace/rebuild (new caps in old cans?) On older versions these actually can present an electrical hazard due to leakage into the chassis. The 117V version runs the motors off of a dedicated winding on the power transformer and the motor circuitry is fully isolated from the mains.
I've provided a schematic of my version for the curious or helpful.
I'm really looking for insights, comments, advice and encouragement from people who are still working on these decks.

Overhauling a Revox G36

I'm wondering why anyone would refurbish a Revox G36. After all, the transport is nothing to write home about. Why not refurbish a (professional) Studer A80 or later?

I'll try though.. In this case unworn stereo half track heads, low hour machine, 3 motor design on a reasonably if not the most rigid chassis. Photo electric tape path sensing. (It's a MKIII) Vacuum tube audio path. Takes 10.5" reels. And mechanically it is in fine working order. Playback is fine, recording has some issues with dirty switches. (I've done some mods as well as repaired a variety of minor issues.)
I was hoping it was the rarer 15ips version, but it's not. I may look for a high speed capstan assembly at some point. (Why won't the site allow the legitimate abbreviation for assembly??) Parts are not too hard to get. They sound good when working properly? Emotional attraction - I've wanted one since I was 17.. What more can I say to justify it. I like the machine, it's retro and solidly built. It came to me rather unexpectedly and I am happy to give it a new home.
I'm not sure exactly what your objections to the transport are, for its day it was about the only commonly available consumer deck with 3 motors and a direct drive capstan available here in N.A. I think that makes it notable, and worthwhile compared to any single motor deck out there. Performance numbers for wow & flutter are respectable and generally better than the specs would indicate. The heads are decent performers, but far better heads are available and can be installed. For my planned usage the stock heads are more than good enough.
These old ReVox machines are the only vintage recorders other than later Ferrographs, and Ampex 350 series gear that I have any interest in. Certainly not sota, but far far better than most vintage Japanese consumer grade decks for the same sort of money.
Not sure what is going on in regards to tape on your side of the pond, but there has been quite a renaissance in interest in open reel tape and the machines to play them here. Enough that I am taking notice.

My objection is very simple; you can pick up a real studio machine with real (and reel) servos, capstan servo etc for the same as a G36. In fact, broadcasters give them away. The Studer A80 is a beautifully engineered machine and built like a battleship. Unfortunately, it takes up almost as much room...

The A80 is a monstrous machine, you need two people to move it around, not practical at all. The portable recorder is less problem. Remove the tubes you mentioned, replace the electrolytics, and if it's ok leave the selenium rectifier alone. Your idea to go directly in to the level control is a good one. The motor capacitors are not electrolytics ,so they are still ok. Good luck. Miklos

Yeah, I have a friend who has one, it's just way too large for my listening room.. I have one full servo Otari, and can get another.. (5050 etc..)
The G36 landed in my lap and I have literally nothing in it but a few hours of my time.

Fitness experts extol machine-less workout
By Dorene Internicola
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Man versus machines? In the realm of fitness at least man seems to be winning.
Despite a gym floor bulging with weight-lifting equipment, fitness experts said the only thing people need to push, pull and lift is the weight of their own body.
"If more people knew you could get a good physique using your body as a bar bell, they could take matters into their own hands," said Bret Contreras, author of "Bodyweight Strength Training Anatomy," a guide to bodyweight-only workouts aimed at everyone from the exercise-challenged to the personal trainer.
Known as "the Glute Guy," Arizona-based Contreras has been resistance training for 21 years. But in high school, he couldn't do a push-up.
"At 15 I was so skinny people used to make jokes," the 37-year old said. "I just got so tired of being made fun of I decided to take charge."
Often thought of as a stepping stone to weight training, bodyweight training can be a complete, whole body workout in itself, Contreras said.
Once the person masters the simpler version of a push-up, squat, or chin-up, a more advanced version can be tackled, often with a little help from the living room furniture.
"Find things in the environment: a table to get underneath, hold on to the sides of and then pull the body upward; a rafter for a pull-up," he said. "To work your glutes (buttocks muscles), all you need is a couch." Continued...

December 2011 and 2012.
But I think this month will beat December.
February 2012 – for sales
November 2012 – earnings
March and November for sales, November for earnings.
November 2012 was the best. December 2012 was also not bad either.
December 2012 is the best month for me.
I guess it's obvious that the most recent months are going to be the best, as most authors are constantly adding to their portfolio and therefore selling more over time.
But trying to take that fact into account, which month feels like the best…. for sales or earnings or both?
March and November seem to be coming out well. But December 2012 seems to be the top answer. I'd be very surprised though, if I asked the same question in May and still got the answer "December".
I don't have the problem of uploads skewing results at the moment, 'cos I haven't uploaded for over a year. Ouch!
But March, May and October were noticeably better than other months in 2012. After that, it was April, June and August. November was so-so, December better than expected, taking Christmas into account and all.
Come ooon Felt, make something and upload!
Agree with you felt..
Generally March and November are the best. December is good only if you have something for Christmas or New Year. Otherwise it will be no different than January.
May and September for sales and earnings, but August only for earnings.
March and November.
Best regards Andrey

Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has publicly shrugged off calls by former Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi to quit nuclear power by going on TV and reaffirming his plans to restart the nation's idled reactors.
"It is irresponsible to promise at this point to scrap nuclear energy," Abe said on a prerecorded TV program Thursday, repeating his stance on restarts in light of the Fukushima nuclear crisis.
In the House of Representatives last week, Abe responded to an anti-nuclear opposition lawmaker who mentioned Koizumi's remarks by saying his government would pursue a responsible energy policy. Koizumi, who led Japan between 2001 and 2006, has retired but remains popular with the public.
Earlier this month, he called on the Abe government to end nuclear power after the world's worst nuclear catastrophe since Chernobyl took place at Tokyo Electric Power Co.'s Fukushima No. 1 power plant in March 2011.
"The country's wealth is flowing out," Abe said, noting that the nation's utilities are spending nearly ¥4 trillion a year to import fuel for thermal power generation to offset the loss of atomic power from the reactor-safety shutdowns. "We will be in big trouble if the situation continues," he warned.
Abe's economic plans, dubbed "Abenomics," have played a major role in jacking up fuel costs by weakening the yen by 20 percent since late last year, driving up the cost of imports — and most of the gains in the consumer price index.

Carman replied to Wingzman91's topic in GeneralGood signing. It's a contingency plan, with the worse case scenario is a 40 point 3rd line center. We weren't going to use up all our cap space, and Brad Richards is a very reliable, experienced center. This is a nice low risk move I like it.

Carman replied to sjr2012's topic in GeneralWe need to grab a top 4 defenseman this off season, Green would be the dream, but Petry, Franson, or Visnovsky could work.(if he'll take a pay cut). Mike Fisher or Joel Ward would be a good grab forward wise, doubt either is leaving their teams though. 2016 seems like a much better year forward wise in free agency. E. Staal, Kopitar, Lucic, O'Reilly, Stamkos, Kesler, Plekanec, Backes, Eriksson, Ladd, Okposo, Voracek, Ruutu, and Hudler sure deals are going to get done for most this guys, but all it takes is one. Trading is where we'll have to make a splash, we have prospect depth, we need scoring consistency. There are too many possibilities to speculate, but I'm ok with parting with some prospects for some top 6 size and scoring, or top 4 defenseman that can move the puck.

Also look into valeting the car near a restaurant/casino near the people mover to make it easier as well. you can also park at Nemo's, Tommy's, Hard Rock, Old Shillelagh, Cheli's, Hockeytown, and Anchor Bar among many others that will transport you to the game in a shuttle. You could park for free at the MGM garage and use Uber/Cab to the game. Plenty of options.

Carman replied to HockeytownRules19's topic in GeneralLike that matters. We are a young team right now. 07-08 We had 2 40+ year olds and 7 other 35+ year olds and won the cup. Right now our team has 5 35+ year olds. With the Cole, Zidlicky addition. What are you going to be negative about next so I can refute that too?
Carman replied to HockeytownRules19's topic in GeneralAwesome, Zidlicky has been a very good puck moving defenseman for a long time. He could really shine here, still put up .37 PPG this year on the third worst offense. Should be a big short term upgrade for our defense this year, without losing any defensive talent in the pipeline.
Carman replied to FireCaptain's topic in GeneralBabcock at least has 10 years of prime coaching age left. Although i could see him go 65+ like Bowman did. Right now he does have options, but in my opinion his best option is to stay with the Red Wings. They have already proven to have the talent to compete for a cup, they are young and can be molded by him from the ground up. He's been with everyone of the players on his team for all or most of their career. He knows what the players he has are capable of. Winning a cup is enough of a challenge for any coach in my opinion. He can stay with the Wings for another 5 years and cement his legacy by winning another cup. And after that he can still go to Toronto or anywhere else. He could pick and choose where to go, teams would fire practically any coach for Babcock. So why would he leave a young talent laden team like the Red Wings for another situation that is not going anywhere. That Toronto job isn't going anywhere, it's not a once in a lifetime job, he would be able to make a phone call at any point of his career and get that job. So in my opinion his best option is to stay with the Wings, develop the talent, reach the pinnacle of his profession at least one more time before moving on.

Carman replied to amato's topic in GeneralReally like it, our farm system has never looked better. The last few years haven't been ideal, but our playoff streak is still intact and Ken Holland is the reason. There isn't a franchise in the league that never has a few average seasons between great ones. His legacy is going on the line here though, if this team struggles and wastes the last few years of Dats/Zetterberg there aren't going to be fans lining up to reminding us of the 3 Stanley Cups we won with him and having the best team in the league from 1997-2010 which is unfortunate. Time will tell if Ken Holland has a master plan with this franchise, or if he's just meddling his last years in mediocrity hoping his past success will be his legacy. My thoughts are you never know what you have until it's gone, and for me I think that rings true for Holland. Fans in Detroit have incredible expectations, which is understood, but I don't know of many hockey GM's in the history of the league that could satisfy this fan bases appetite of not only winning, but winning Stanley Cups for over 20 years. Notice I said the history of the league, I don't think there is a better option for the team right now other than Holland, he knows the players we have in the system, if our goal is to win it all soon he gives us our best option. If we want to tank, and surely waste the last years of Datsyuk/Zetterberg, and hopefully build up to a playoff franchise in 5 years then we should get a young GM and give him the reigns, I just don't think that's that right plan.

Carman liked a post in a topic: So what do we have to trade?
Carman replied to DetroitRedWings1993's topic in GeneralHmm I was onto something after all. Haha I really think this is a good move, smith has too much natural talent to give up on. I have a good feeling about this forward experiment.
Carman replied to gcom007's topic in GeneralHis play back a few years was impacted by his size, which is not a tremendous issue for him anymore. Jarnkrok is a great prospect, there really shouldn't be a need to try and downplay his talent. The whole situation comes down to several reasons that are largely just based on opinions, Bad Trade: 1. You think this season is a loss already, and should have kept future potential. 2. You think Legwand is only going to play 20 games with the Red Wings and the Wings lost Jarnkrok for nothing. 3. You like Legwand, but are sold on Jarnkrok becoming a top line center. Good Trade. 1. You like Legwand, and think the evidence is there that he will resign. 2. Wings filled an immediate need by giving up a player that wouldn't fill that need for years. etc. Personally I think Jarnkrok was a great prospect his play the last few months has been fantastic, he's great with the puck, his defense is very underrated, his skating is good, there isn't a negative about him other than he's not going out and hammering people into the boards, but I also felt the Wings need for a center for the present season, outweighed the risk of hoping the development of Jarnkrok a few years down the road.
Carman replied to gcom007's topic in GeneralNah, I hope he does well. Even if he becomes an all-star, it would still be a trade that needed to be done at the time. Legwand's importance to the team right now, was more than Jarnkrok's importance to our future, obviously our front office thinks that we have enough young talent(which I think we do, Nyquist/Tatar/Jurco/Sheahan/Pulkinnen/Mantha all look like they will be impact NHLers) that we could let go a promising prospect for a very good player right now. It's quite an achievement to become a point producing/defensive center like Legwand is, even if Jarnkrok becomes one, I'm confident we made the right move because we needed that kind of player now.
Carman replied to gcom007's topic in GeneralNot really aimed at you, but am I the only person that thinks Legwand might be a better option? 4 year difference in age, Kesler will make 5 million the next two seasons, Legwand you have to think won't be paid more than 4.5, and most likely will take a pay cut. Legwand has a career PPG of .59, Kesler has a career PPG of .61 that's with playing in a more offensively talented Vancouver team. Legwand has actually outpaced Kesler so far this year in points. Defensively Kesler is better, they are about equal at the face-off circle. They are about identical when it comes to size, 6'2" 210. But the difference to me comes with how much Kesler would have cost the Wings. I don't know I think Legwand is terribly underrated by a lot of the people here.
Carman replied to gcom007's topic in GeneralHmm, our chances right now are 52%, win tonight and it would be about 60%. Having Legwand playing the rest of the season drastically improves our chances of making the playoffs. And if we make the playoffs and get healthy we could be a very serious contender. There was no reason to waste this season of having Alfredsson, Datsyuk and Zetterberg, that would be a mistake. Worst case scenario is we miss the playoffs this year, get healthy next year and become a very legitimate threat in the eastern conference with our strong center depth. If our team is healthy we have a very good team. I think there is more to be gained to improve our chances at making the playoffs this year, and most likely the next few years to come during Datsyuk and Zetterberg's prime, than risk losing a prospect that wouldn't have made an impact on the team for at least a couple more seasons. Legwand improves our team now, and will be a better NHL player during Datsyuk/Zetterberg's prime than Jarnkrok. Just in case you are wondering where i got the chances for playoffs http://www.sportsclubstats.com/NHL.html
Carman replied to gcom007's topic in GeneralWhich he probably is right now. Glendening is playing a 4th line grinder role better than Jarnkrok could. Jarnkrok has very good two way play, and would be a much better point producer, but the jump from the AHL to the NHL for a top 6 forward is a lot larger and harder than for a 4th line penalty killer. I don't want to say Jarnkrok couldn't bang in the corners and kill penalties I actually think his defensive game is very underrated, but that is not where he's going to make his mark in the NHL. While he's playing well in the AHL, I doubt the Red Wings or Nashville will call him up right now, plug him in on the second line, give him 2 minutes of powerplay time and 16 minutes a night especially if they want to make the playoffs. He's not ready yet, another off season of strength conditioning and he might be ready.

It's dark and you're lying in bed. Your smartphone is on your bedside table, you realize that you forgot to plug it into its micro USB charger. Do you turn on your bedroom light and zap your eyeballs with sudden light? Or, maybe you fumble around in the dark feeling for your charging cable.
Once you get the cable in hand, you have to line up the plug so you don't break anything. You can always light up your phone and check the orientation of the plug, then use a sense of feel to guide everything in place.
Dustin Orndorff has a solution for you, a light-up USB cable. The concept is indeed simple, a small LED embedded in the USB connector that lights up with the push of a button. This is a far more subtle solution compared to some products out there that light up the entire cable like a rave accessory.
A relatively modest goal of $9,000 has been set up on Kickstarter to get this cable to market. With 25 days to go, they are already about a third of the way there. If this is the light you have been looking for, check out the source link. The "early bird" prices are not expensive and delivery is expected in April 2013.

I sent an email to Avon asking them why their tires don't have balance dots?
This was their reply:
Just thought some of you would like to know.Hi Robert,
As you are probably aware, tyres have dots on them which mark the light
spot on the tyre. This is then fitted next to the valve which is
potentially the heaviest part of the wheel and thus to a certain degree
the light spot and heavy spot will counteract eachother.
We did not put balance dots on our tyres as we were striving to
eliminate any light and heavy spots on our tyres. We have been asked
this question about dots many times and as we have improved upon, but
not eliminated the light/heavy spots on our tyres, we have decided to
re-introduced the balance dots on certain new tyres over the coming
weeks. Your tyre will not have a mark on it.
Best regards,
Peter J McNally

Has anyone else noticed issues with the US mail lately?? Over the last 2-3 months I've had SO many issues with them, it's not even funny. I've had envelopes with my decals in it just disappear, or not show up for a week when it should have taken 2 days. It's literally been 2 envelopes lost, and about 5 that have taken over a week to get there. I'm usually VERY good about getting stuff out to you guys quickly. So, this is making my service look bad AND it's costing me extra $$ to re-ship the decals. it's like if you don't get PRIORITY shipping and an envelope for $5, it's a **** shoot.
I know my PO is considering chopping a day off their office work week to save money, in addition to raising rates again. Could they possibly be holding onto mail an extra day or two until they have enough going to one area?? Are there any Postal employees out there that could shed some light?? Anyone else experience this?? Sorry, just venting.....:angry
