One last time. One last re-make.
A character who has fast reached my No.2 spot in "Favourite All Time Characters" in a series that has become my 2nd favourite anime.
Well, Kamina was one of my easier costumes.
The trousers just had an adapted waistband I added on, and some iron-on bias binding around the bottoms. Not clever but works as well as anything else.
No decent sandals for me this time, I borrowed a friends.
Wig was easier to style then I expected. Foam head I got from Kelly really helped, and I used the method of doing each spike individually with pins. :)
Shades were made from 3mm acrylic plastic cut with a hacksaw, sanded, and then heated over a hob for a slight curve in the center. I am to make them stick to my face, but for Minami I just propped them up in one of Kamina's poses.
The tattoos were done by Takuropop, and what an amazing job she did! :O
Extra points for Strongbad referencing!
This is a very Mark-ish character looks wise...I swear I will watch this series at some point too. When ya making it for homie?
this is on my "too watch" list so i better get round to it before you cosplay it :D i take it your not doing this before may expo due to the cols weather and the inset of harded mark nips :S
Kamina!! 0__0
Good luck with this! The world needs so many more Gurren Lagann cosplayers!
And you forgot the AWESOME SPEC'S on that list!
You're doing Kamina too? Awesome! Word of advice for you that I got from a friend. Take multiple pairs of glasses. He had one pair break on him when he was traveling down ^^;;
All i'm thinking right now is
Uni: I used a basic Kryolan Aquacolour water based paint (posh facepaint basically, but only a little more expensive than stuff like Snazaroo) applied with a brush. All you need someone with a steady hand and a Kamina who can stay still for a long time. VICTORY!
Mark, this was awesome... you and Kelly looked HAWT.
I still have no idea what Gurren Lagann is but you and Kelly looked awesome!
You both look excellent mate, well done!
Just had to say I thought you two looked awesome at Minami! one of the best Gurren Lagann cosplays i've ever seen ^-^
A-ANIKI?!!? *is punched in the face!!*
Can't wait to see you as Kamina at Amecon 8D Any idea what day you'll be cosplaying as him yet?

tree removal
I have 9 large oak trees in my yard that I want removed. I have gotten 3 estimates from 3 companies. Each company is a member of the BBB, and none of the companies has any complaints against them. Two of the estimates are very similar, but one is very much lower than the other two (50%less). I want a good price, but I do not want to compromise quality. What do you think of the difference in the cost of these estimates? All 3 are from small, local companies.
Tree guys can be really expensive. The lowest bidder probably needs the business more and so wants to undercut the competiton. You could try pitting them against each other. "Acme said he will do it for ? Can you compete with that?" Sometimes that will get them to lower their prices.
On the other hand when you see these guys 35ft up swinging from limb to limb with a chainsaw you realize just what a skill it really is.
Make sure whoever you hire has some sort of insurance. In Canada, its called Workers Compensation, otherwise its a huge liabilty to you.
Also, make sure its understood in advance who keeps the wood and shavings, cuz there is a lot of money to be had there as well.
199 Attachment(s)
That said, about the trees... There is a lot of variation between the price quotes of different tree companies. And there is a lot of difference between "asking price" and what they'll actually do the job for.
A couple years ago, I had a big old Maple that was almost dead, and leaning toward the house. A guy who was cutting trees in the neighborhood came over & asked if I wanted him to cut it down & haul it away for $1,000. I told him & wanted to keep the wood & asking him his price to drop the tree. For $200 he did an excellent job.
Dicker with the guys a little bit.
Also get and check references. My sister had a tree taken down several years ago. The guys took forever, unnecessarily tore up her yard, etc. etc.
have them take the 9 stumps too!
When you are dealing with a project like this, cost is almost a secondary consideration. Get some references and talk to people who have experience with each of these companies, and make your decision from there.
Make sure that the scope of work is understood by everyone (and bid as such.)
Make sure they have insurance.

- Stylist:
- Philip Monacelli
Nov 26, 2013 - As someone with curly hair, it can be very tricky to get a good cut. I've always walked out after Philip's "curly cut" feeling like a hair model. He really understands hair and work miracles with my inconsistently curly hair. I'm less curly in some areas and he cuts it so it all bounces and curls the same. It's amazing.

Throughout the contest, DeVries worked himself into some jams by walking batters but he always seemed to find a way to wriggle out of these sticky situations. In five innings on the mound, he gave up no runs on two hits with five walks and one strikeout. He wouldn't factor into the decision but it was a decent effort from the 27-year old rookie.
It wasn't that long ago that DeVries was part of the Rochester Red Wings so let's see how some of his former teammates and the rest of the farm system faired on Tuesday night.
A big top of the fourth inning helped to separate the Red Wings from the Knights in Charlotte tonight. Danny Valenica singled to start the frame and this was followed by back-to-back doubles from Chris Parmelee and Matt Carson. After a sacrifice fly from Clete Thomas, Michael Hollimon would smack his fifth home run of the year.
In his first rehab start on his way back from the DL, Nick Blackburn threw 3.2 innings and allowed three earned runs on 68 pitches. Esmerling Vasquez would put up three straight scoreless frames to help the Red Wings stay in the lead. Casey Fien had to pitch almost two full innings to earn his eighth save of the year.
Chris Parmelee and Michael Hollimon seemed to playing a game of "anything you can do, I can do better" with their performances at the plate. Both players had multiple extra-base hits in the contest with each player knocking in a couple runs. Hollimon managed two long balls while Parmelee had to settle for one home run.
The Rock Cats were washed out on Tuesday night and their game with New Hampshire will have to be made up at a future date.
The Rock Cats were washed out on Tuesday night and their game with New Hampshire will have to be made up at a future date.
Last year's first overall pick in the MLB Draft Gerrit Cole took the mound for Bradenton on Tuesday night and the Miracle had a tough time scoring on him. Cole pitched six innings and allowed a single earned run to cross the plate on a home run from Daniel Ortiz. Cole was not unhittable in this game but the Miracle failed to get more than two extra-base hit off of the young right-handed hurler.
With the Miracle down by three runs in the ninth inning, the team mounted a mini-comeback to get the game within a run. Levi Michael hit his second home run of the year after Michael Gonzales had doubled to start the inning. The next three batters would be retired in order to end the hope for the Miracle. Jario Perez lead the Miracle with three hits in the game.
When a starter gives up five runs in five innings and lowers his ERA, you know he came in with some rough outings. Madison Boer was the starter for the Miracle and his game might not have been great but it was better than some of his previous appearances. Kyle Waldrop pitched a scoreless inning of relief as he made his third rehab appearance.
BELOIT 5, KANE COUNTY 4 (11 innings)
The Snappers had a three-run lead when AJ Achter came into the game in the bottom of the eighth inning and the Snappers lead was gone by the time he exited the contest at the end of the ninth. Lucky enough for him, the team would come back in extra-innings to retake the lead and get their third straight victory.
Beloit was helped out by home runs in the early innings of the game by Miguel Sano, Eddie Rosario, and Nate Roberts. For Sano, it was his second home run in the last two games after a recent dry spell from the home run department. Jonathan Goncalves had two doubles in the game and he has gone 7-for-13 in the last three games.
Tyler Jones made the start for the Snappers and pitched four innings while only allowing one run to cross the plate. Tim Atherton was called on for the middle innings and he pitched three innings of hitless baseball with four strikeouts. The win went to David Hurlbut who pitched both extra frames by only allowing two runners to reach base.

'Dumb and Dumber 2′ Stars Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels Nap, Talk Sequel on 'Tonight Show'
'Dumb and Dumber 2' (officially titled 'Dumb and Dumber To') might not be hitting theaters until November (you've already waited 20 years to see it, you can hold out a few more months), but stars Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels are already hard at work on the promo trail.
Channing Tatum Reveals the X-Rated Bet He Made With Jonah Hill
Jonah Hill might want to work on his betting skills because he doesn't appear to understand the mechanics of it. The '22 Jump Street' star hit 'Conan' last night, alongside the other half of the burgeoning franchise's all-star comedic duo, Channing Tatum, to share some very weird (and very x-rated) tidbits about a bet the pair made quite awhile ago.
Jimmy Fallon Unveils His Made-for-TV Movies With Mike Myers
Quick! Name your favorite Mike Myers movie! Did you say 'Wayne's World' (one or two or the whole series)? Or even 'Austin Powers' (one or two or three or the whole series)? Then you've been missing out big time, because it turns out that Myers has a whole slew of films you might not have heard of -- all co-starring 'Tonight Show' host Jimmy Fallon.
Does Seth Meyers' "Greatest Sketch Ever" Live Up to Its Dazzling Name?
It's billed as "The Greatest Sketch Ever," but is this little five-minute slice of wacky weirdness from last night's 'Late Night With Seth Meyers' really the best sketch ever? Well, probably not, but it's certainly one of the best, strangest and most original things to hit the late-night airwaves over the past few weeks, and it's definitely the kind of stuff Meyers and his crew should be doing much more of.
Tom Cruise Destroys Jimmy Fallon, Lots of Glass in Thrilling Round of 'Face Breakers'
It's time for a new game on 'The Tonight Show,' as host Jimmy Fallon appears to be digging back into childhood hijinks for his latest amusing flexing (sort of?) of game-playing muscles. This time it's 'Face Breakers,' which is just about exactly how it sounds -- two players face off against a wall of glass, half of which includes their likeness, half of which look like their opponent, and just try to break the hell out of them with footballs. Good game, right?
'Star Wars' Nerdgasm Choir Grunts Their Praises on 'Conan'
You may have heard that they are making a new 'Star Wars' film -- actually, they're making a whole mess of new 'Star Wars' films, but you get the drift. Even if you're well aware of the production, you probably don't react to any bit of news about the film in the same way as Conan O'Brien's all-grunting, all-groaning 'Star Wars' Nerdgasm Choir, making their debut on last night's 'Conan.'
Megan Mullally and Nick Offerman Double Team 'Late Night with Seth Meyers'
Now this is quite the late-night coup, as 'Late Night' host Seth Meyers managed to entice both halves of Hollywood's best couple, Megan Mullally and Nick Offerman, to hit up his show. At the same time. As guests. For the first time ever!
Watch Conan O'Brien Star in an Awful '80s Training Video
This may sound hard to believe, but back when Conan O'Brien arrived in Los Angeles as a starry-eyed (and possibly starving) television writer about three decades ago, gigs weren't just raining from the sky. The future late-night host had to take on some strange bits to make ends meet, including popping up in this NAMM (that's National Association of Music Merchants, in case you're not hip to esoteric professional groups) training video as the "opinionated type of customer."
Ricky Gervais Gets Sloppy When Playing Jimmy Fallon's Word Sneak
When 'Tonight Show' host Jimmy Fallon conscripted guest Ricky Gervais into playing a round of Word Sneak, which requires players to "sneak" offbeat words into everyday conversations without laughing so hard their guts bust, Gervais managed to quite effortlessly insert his first word without too much trouble. Things went downhill from there, quite frankly, and never really recovered.
Will Ferrell and Celebrity Doppelgänger Chad Smith Hit 'The Tonight Show' With an Epic Drum-Off
Will Ferrell is no stranger to rivalries, but although the star might be used to coming to blows with John C. Reilly on the big screen (remember 'Step Brothers' and 'Talladega Nights'? yeah, ya do), it seems like he's taking his act to the small screen with a new nemesis. On last night's 'Tonight Show,' a seriously revved up Ferrell hit host Jimmy Fallon's stage alongside Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith, who just so happens to look startlingly like Ferrell.
Jennifer Lawrence Admits to Puking at a Fancy Oscars Party, Loves Harry Potter
Jennifer Lawrence is just like us, you guys. She goes to fancy parties with her best friend and yells things at people she likes and then maybe, possibly, totally throws up on a porch. It's just that the details are a little different when it comes to the celeb -- like the people she yells at are stars like Brad Pitt, and she goes to fancy parties after events like the Oscars, and she might be tossing her cookies on the porch of Madonna's manager. Normal. Not normal? And who judged her for said puking, a story the it-girl shared with Seth Meyers on his 'Late Night' last night?
Hugh Jackman's Cooler Scooter Race With Jimmy Fallon Is the Perfect American Pastime
With Memorial Day glimmering on the horizon like a big, shiny, pre-summer gift, 'Tonight Show' host Jimmy Fallon is already celebrating the great American holiday. And what better way to celebrate such a holiday than to convince beloved star of stage and screen, Hugh Jackman (who, yes, he is Australian, but is adored by all nationalities), to nearly die while riding a cooler onscreen?

House Calls for Cats by Ask The Cat Doctor
P.O Box 755
Ardmore, PA 19003
Dr. Shelby Neely
May 6, 2011
Mobile Veterinary Visits are wonderful! They are the best way to go - for me, and especially for the kitties!
I have two big kitties, whom I love dearly. But it is so hard to get them to Dr. Neely when they need checkups. As soon as the cat boxes come out, the cats disappear. I tried bringing the boxes days early - but they have a sixth sense when it comes to knowing which day I am going to try and put them in their boxes. They run and hide, when I find them the fur flies - they are upset, I am upset. They howl all the way down the elevator and across the parking lot to the car. They cry all the way on the drive to the doctor's office. They're scared to bits. You know what I mean.
When Dr. Neely came to our apartment for the kitty checkups, Hobbes and Tiggy were much more relaxed. They like people, and they know who likes them. We had a table set up for their exams. Dr. Neely and her assistant not only gave them their exams, and took blood work, but also micro-chipped them!
What a relief for all of us! It was a fun visit! Mobile Veterinary Visits are the way to go! Try it - you'll have no howls, no scared kitties and lots of smiles and purrs!
Mobile Veterinary Visits are really the purr-fect way to go! Especially if the veterinarian is Dr. Shelby Neely!

are available by appointment only.
For more information or to arrange a cat house call, please call (610) 449-CATS (2287).
Why Should You Try House Calls for Cats?
Ever notice how your furry felines vanish from sight the second they see that cat carrier come out? Remember the last time you had to hunt for what seemed like hours to find your cat to bring to your local vet? You know how difficult it is to get your cat into the carrier once you find him? We all know our beloved cats dread going to the vet, and not many pet owners enjoy those trips either!
For most cats, trips to veterinarians can cause unwanted amounts of stress. Cats are always more relaxed and comfortable in their own territory rather than at a veterinary clinic. So, what could be better than a mobile veterinary clinic that can reduce the stress for you AND your cat and still give you the same veterinarian services? Why waste all that time and energy getting your cat into a carrier when you can call upon a house call vet?!
To read some of our stories of our house call experiences, please click here.
Why Does Dr. Neely Offer Cat House Calls?
As a new vet school graduate 20 years ago, Dr. Neely began her own mobile veterinarian practice for cats only. Over the years, her practice transitioned into a more traditional veterinary hospital, but house cat house calls have always been a part of Dr. Neely's passion. Getting personal with her clients and their precious cats has always been part of Dr. Neely's vision of caring for cats, and nothing provides the opportunity to get to know you and your cat better than interacting with you in the relaxed, natural environment of your own home.
While Dr. Neely has continued over the last 20 years to offer limited house calls for cats, in celebration of 20 years of providing vet services for cats as a cat only vet, she is returning to her roots by transitioning her practice back to a cat house call practice.
Our Mission
The mission of Ask The Cat Doctor Housecalls for Cats is to provide the same great veterinarian services in the comfort of your cat's home, making the experience of a veterinary exam and necessary procedures as relaxed and flexible as possible. By traveling to our patients, we believe we can offer better veterinary advice for cats because we have the opportunity to assess your feline's living situation and how feline medical and behavioral problems can best be addressed in that environment.
We take pride in our ability to educate our clients, empowering them to make informed decisions regarding their cat health care. With an emphasis on preventative cat care and well visits, we work with our clients to ensure that your cats will live healthy lives from kitten-hood well into their golden years. And, above all, we are committed to practicing veterinary house calls and veterinary medicine with the same ethics and high standards as that of a traditional veterinarian practice.
Who Benefits from Vet House Calls?
There are many advantages of mobile vet services for individuals in all kinds of situations. If you are a busy professional, an overloaded parent, a senior citizen, or are suffering from a physical disability, a house call for your cat will likely be the best option for providing routine health care for your cat. House call vets can provide veterinarian services around your schedule and physical needs.
If you have more than one kitty in your household, house calls for cats also provide a wonderful opportunity to have your cat care provided all in one trip, without the hassle of transporting all of your cats to the veterinarian. Imagine how nice it would be to have your feline vaccinations on the same schedule for each cat!
These special-circumstance individuals, however, are not the only ones that will benefit from house calls for cats. As we mentioned before, your cats are often very stressed by being put in their cat carriers. During routine visits to local veterinarians, your cat also has to cope with the stress of a car ride and being exposed to all of the sights, sounds, and smells of a traditional veterinary clinic. Your cat wants nothing to do with any of this!
What to Expect on a House Call Vet Visit
Your vet house call will typically last 15-30 minutes per cat in your home. That's a substantial decrease in the amount of time out of your day your would spend if your were taking your cat to the vet hospital. It can take 2 to 3 hours for a traditional vet visit between time spent getting your cat in a carrier, traveling to the veterinarians, waiting in the waiting room, and, of course, the exam itself and the trip back home. The vet home visit will be much more "laid-back" than your typical office visit, while still offering the same thorough and professional care for your feline friend.
Services Provided by Ask The Cat Doctor Housecalls
We offer a full range of cats veterinary services at House Calls for Cats, including but not limited to:
- Complete and thorough feline veterinary physical exams
- Preventative medicine through well visit exams, feline vaccines, cat flea control, and deworming treatments
- Diagnostic internal medicine services for your cats health problems, including bloodwork, urinalysis, and fecal exams
- Senior cat healthcare assessments, including monitoring of organ function and convenient fluid and hydration therapies
- Treatment of feline illnesses with prescription feline medicines and prescription diets
- Cat microchipping and microchip scanning
- Personalized cat behavior counseling, including recommendations for your unique cat scratching, biting, and urine-marking or spraying issues
- Personalized, high-quality referrals for veterinary cat specialists in the fields of cardiology, dentistry, ophthalmology, surgery, and many more
- Transport services for sick or injured cats requiring hospitalization and monitoring, surgery, or specialist care
- Private, compassionate in-home euthanasia, providing your kitty the chance to pass peacefully in the comfort of his or her own home, in a favorite bed, curled up on a favorite blanket, or relaxed in your own arms
Overall, the cat health care your favorite feline receives during a visit from your home visit vet will be BETTER than that which he has received in a veterinary clinic due to the reduced stress on you and your kitty. Your feline's behavior and vital signs will not be influenced by the environment, which can be especially important for services such as blood glucose testing for cat diabetes, heart monitoring for feline hyperthyroidism, and behavioral consults, to name only a few! Even for well visits, your kitty will be getting the most accurate physical examination possible from house calls for cats.
So call us today at (610) 449-CATS (2287) to discuss the possibility that House Calls for Cats would be the cat's whiskers for your fabulous feline!

Few MMA questions - need some help!
I need some help to make MMA do the calculation I want to:
1. MMA 2.2 cannot take the following integral:
Integrate[E^(s t) E^(I wmk t),{t,-Infinity,T}]
even if I write
Integrate[E^(s^2 t) E^(I wmk t),{t,-Infinity,T}]
which defines that at -Infinity Exp goes to 0, it still cannot take it.
MMA 2.0 did take this integral, and the one before, where it assumed
positive s.
The integral with finite limits
Integrate[E^(s^2 t) E^(I wmk t),{t,-A,T}]
can be computed, but the limit cannot. What it so difficult about
limit of E^(s^2 t) at t-> -Infinity?
2. I need to make MMA compute the integrals like this:
Int[t Sum[f[k],{k,Infinity}],{t,0,1}]
Int[If[m == n, t, t^2], {t,0,1}]
If[m == n, 1, 1/2]
I'd appreciate any help.

BURRELL TOWNSHIP: Scheduled resurfacing will be delayed this summer
BLACK LICK — Local road and street resurfacing work is on the schedule for this summer in Burrell Township, but the projects won't begin as early as planned.
Due to delays in preparing specifications, the township board of supervisors won't be ready to open contractors' bids until July 9.
Snyders Lane and streets in the Smith Plan are targeted for resurfacing this year, according to a work plan that the supervisors discussed in April.
The supervisors set the bid opening date at their regularly monthly business meeting Wednesday, a session with an agenda so brief that it was adjourned in just 8 1/2 minutes.
The board reported that the office will be closed July 4 for Independence Day, and the Black Lick Volunteer Fire Department will hold a fundraising submarine sandwich sale July 12.
Although the summer solstice is still a few days away, the supervisors said one sure sign of the season has already surfaced. The office has fielded numerous complaints from residents concerning trash burning in the township.
Burrell Township's ordinance spells out the kinds of toxic and caustic materials that residents are prohibited from burning and lists the kinds of waste items that are OK to burn. It also limits trash burning to Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday between sunrise and sunset, makes it illegal for a fire to burn unattended and establishes the fines that can be imposed for violations. The supervisors' next meeting is July 16.

Nirvana Bassist Krist Novoselic Wants to Change How We Elect the President
Former Nirvana bassist Krist Novoselic has played with numerous bands since the demise of the legendary Seattle band. But, a lot of his time has been spent as a political activist. He currently works with a nonprofit organization called FairVote.
One of Novoselic's biggest goals with the group is to change how we elect our president. Currently, we elect our president through the "Electoral College" in which candidates win states' electoral college voters. FairVote and Novoselic want a national popular vote to determine the Commander in Chief.
Speaking to Politico, Novoselic said that American politics are "so predictable." He said that he would spend election night watching a DVD. Then, he says, "I'll get up the next morning and it'll be either Romney or Obama. I'm just not going to stay up all night and, 'Here comes this state' or 'Here comes that state.'"

Partial results put Africa's longest-serving leader, President Gnassingbe Eyadema, ahead with 59% of the votes counted so far.
But the opposition Party of Forces for Change alleges vote-rigging and some activists set up barricades and burnt tyres overnight in the Lome suburb of Be.
The BBC's Ebow Godwin in Lome says Be is cordoned off by heavily armed riot police to stop opposition activists demonstrating in the city centre.
PFC secretary general Jean-Pierre Fabre and vice-president Patrick Lawson were arrested on Tuesday morning and reportedly taken to police headquarters.
Residents' fears
The head of the PFC, Gilchrist Olympio, was barred from the poll because he is living in exile.
But the party instead presented Emmanuel Bob Akitani, who has some 35% of the vote.
Last year, parliament changed the constitution to let Mr Eyadema run again.
He has been in power since 1967, when he staged a military coup.
Residents of the capital said they feared trouble and although borders are officially closed, hundreds of men said their families had fled for shelter to neighbouring Ghana or Benin.
For many, memories of violence after the last elections in 1998 which left hundreds dead, are still fresh.

QUICK ANSWER PLS concrete over UF cable
I'm putting 2 4x4 posts in the ground, set in quickcrete. I'll need to pour the concrete around, next to, and over two pieces of type UF direct buried electrical wire I buried in the same piece of ground last summer. They are 20-amp 12 gauge and a 30-amp 10 gauge cables, two conductors plus a ground, each. Each one is on its own dedicated breaker in my main panel.
I don't know what damage long term contact between concrete and type UF cable insulation would do. Am I risking damaging the circuits sometime in the future? I don't want to do that.
Can I put the concrete right in contact with the cable insulation? I'm willing to immobilize the cables by doing this. Or do I need to move the cables 6-12" to the side to get them out of the way of where the posts need to be (I can, but it'd be a LOT of extra work). Or should I put something in between them and the concrete? If I need to put something in between the concrete and the cables, what should I use? scrap plywood? good ol' duct tape around the cables? saran wrap or tin foil? just kidding...
art.340 of nec say's no.
I'd put pvc electrical conduit (gray) through the concrete and run the wire through the conduit. That way you'd be able to replace the wire easily in the future if need be.

|It's been a busy few weeks full of customer visits ranging from the east coast to the west coast. Other than an extremely off kilter body clock, the trips have been great. It is so exciting to see the high level of interest in the newest release of WebSphere CloudBurst, version 2.0.
|On the topic of WebSphere CloudBurst 2.0, I want to make sure our IBM Business Partners (and my IBM colleagues) are aware of a couple of upcoming Tech Talks. These Tech Talks are given by the IBM labs and provide an early look into some of our newest offerings. On the Tech Talk docket this month are WebSphere CloudBurst 2.0 and the new WebSphere DataPower XC10 Appliance. Business partners can sign up for the WebSphere CloudBurst talk here, and the WebSphere DataPower XC10 Appliance here (IBMers get in touch with me for the links).
|I feel pretty certain that if you are reading this, you probably are pretty familiar with WebSphere CloudBurst, but maybe not as much so with WebSphere DataPower XC10. This is a new offering from IBM that provides in-memory data caching capabilities (similar to those of WebSphere eXtreme Scale) in the form factor of an appliance. Data grids and caches are really a hot wave in application design and development, and chances are if you are developing applications for distributed systems today, you could benefit from the use of in-memory data caching. Check out the Tech Talk for more information.
|While these Tech Talks are restricted for IBM Business Partners and IBMers, I'm always available if you have any questions about WebSphere CloudBurst, WebSphere DataPower XC10, or any of our WebSphere offerings. I'll do my best to answer your questions or put you in touch with the right IBMers in the lab. Feel free to reach out and get in touch at any time.

"I have defended the interests of São Vicente," says João Gomes 16 May 2012
João Gomes says that he believes he has "defended the higher interests of São Vicente" over the course of the four years in which he led the municipal assembly. The assessment was made Tuesday, May 15, during the closing of the final ordinary session of the outgoing municipal assembly, which was elected in 2008.
"I come to the end of my term with the flag I unfurled at all of the rallies during the election campaign for the 2008 municipal elections and which was present in every decision I made while carrying out my responsibilities in this institution: the defense of the higher interests of São Vicente," he affirmed.
"I have always honored my pledge to fulfill the law before this assembly. I preferred the firm and sure option of faithfully interpreting the wishes of the people of São Vicente in the exercise of my mandate," continued Gomes, in whose view the president of the municipal assembly should not "subjugate himself to the interests of those whose actions he is responsible for checking."
Even so, João Gomes believes that his posture has left some members of the municipal assembly dissatisfied.
"I have been misunderstood by some, who were probably motivated by unconfessed interests. I refused approaches that I considered obscene and which would certainly have prevented me from looking everyone in the eye today," said João Gomes, who also called upon central and local authorities to "dialog about strategies for the island of Sáo Vicente."
UCID and PAICV give negative evaluation of Augusto Neves' administration
The members of the municipal assembly representing the PAICV and the UCID gave a failing grade to the administration of mayor Augusto Neves during the final ordinary session of the municipal assembly, which was used to analyze the municipal chamber's management and activities accounts.
Despite having entered into a "governance stability accord" with Neves' MpD with regards to the administration of the São Vicente municipal chamber, the UCID contested Neves' posture. In the opinion of João Luís, there have been "unilateral decisions on the part of the mayor and a lack of dialogue with the UCID."
The PAICV's leader in the municipal assembly, Baltazar Ramos, believes that the term of the São Vicente mayor failed to meet expectations, given that he carried out only 67% of his stated objectives.
Augusto Neves, however, believes he has fulfilled his duty. "We have the feeling that we have fulfilled our duty. We made a great deal of efforts during our term and many things were achieved. Our assessment is positive because, even in these difficult times, we achieved 67% of what we set out to. This means that the municipal chamber and municipal assembly really did work for the good of the population of São Vicente," he concluded.

I wash my hair everyday. I use a sulfate free shampoo and tresemme 24 hour body conditioner. It's not CG, but it works for me. Then when I get out I rake AG recoil through and then flip my hair over and rake through my gel (Broaer- a brand from Spain which is impossible to find). I let it air dry for about 10-15 minutes then I flip over and blow dry it (no diffuser). I use a low setting and high heat and blow dry the back of my hair only while flipped over (that way I get more volume and much less frizz on top). There is no such thing as second day hair for me. I just repeat the process
Medium texture, normal porosity, normal elasticity

NEW YORK – Peter Baum and Ryan Walsh scored hat tricks, and Colgate held its fourth straight opponent to single digit goals in a 10-7 win over Michigan here Sunday.
The Raiders won their third consecutive game and improved to 6-2 overall. Sunday's game on St. Patrick's Day was part of a Metropolitan Lacrosse Classic doubleheader at Citi Field. Despite chilly conditions, Sunday's crowd of 15,656 was the 26th largest crowd to was an NCAA lacrosse game.
Walsh scored all three of his goals in the first half to increase his season total to 20, while Baum scored two of his three after the break and now has 23 goals for the year. Baum added two assists and has 34 points for the season.
Brendon McCann, Baum and Walsh scored consecutive Colgate goals over a three-minute stretch late in the first half to break a 3-3 tie and provide the eventual winning margin. Jimmy Ryan scored the first of his two goals in the opening minute after halftime, and the Raiders never led by fewer than three the rest of the way.
Colgate defensively was led by Bobby Lawrence, who caused two turnovers and scooped up a team-high five ground balls. Fellow defender Kevin Boyle added four ground balls and opened the Colgate scoring with a fast-break goal that was his second of the season.
Since a 9-8 overtime loss at Hobart on March 5, the Raiders have posted wins over Holy Cross by 14-6 and Binghamton by 12-5 in addition to Sunday's victory.
Michigan, a second-year varsity lacrosse program, dropped to 0-8 with Sunday's loss.
The Raiders are back on the big stage again Saturday, this time against Navy in a Patriot League matchup that's part of the Konica Minolta Face-Off Classic. Colgate-Navy is the 2 p.m. opener of a doubleheader at Baltimore's M&T Bank Stadium, home of the Super Bowl-champion Baltimore Ravens.

Jack Tig - for your information, Mark van den Broeck WAS a hero. Personally I think he was twice the man you could ever dream to be. He was someone who cared for his fellow men and would go the extra mile for anyone. So please I beg of you - keep your negative comment to yourself.

Framed (ref: 2636)
Embroidery, wool and silk on linen, 16 1/8 x 41 in. (41 x 104 cm.)
Embroidery, wool and silk on linen, 16 1/8 x 41 in. (41 x 104 cm.)
Provenance: Percy Horton
In a gilded oak peg jointed frame
Titled and signed on a label to the reverse:
A garden piece was designed and worked by me in 1938. May Morris
From Miss May Morris, Kelmscott Manor, Lechlade, Gloucestershire.
This embroidery is one of the last works produced by May Morris and is in outstanding condition, retaining its original colour.
May Morris was born in 1862, the daughter of William and Jane Morris. She was taught by her father and took over the firms embroidery department in 1885. Her jewellery, designed and made by her, included bead necklaces strung in highly original combinations of colour and texture. She lectured in the USA in 1910 on embroidery, jewellery, costume and pattern designing. She taught embroidery at the Central School of Arts and Crafts.
May Morris was born in 25 March 1862 at Red House, Bexleyheath, and was named Mary as she was born on the Feast of the Annunciation. May learned to embroider from her mother and her aunt Bessie Burden, who had been taught by William Morris. In 1881, she enrolled at the National Art Training School, the precursor of the Royal College of Art, to study embroidery. In 1885, aged 23, she became the director of the embroidery department at her father's enterprise Morris & Co..
In 1886, May fell in love with Henry Halliday Sparling (1860-1924), the secretary of the Socialist League. Despite her mother's concerns about her future son-on-law, they married 14 June 1890 at Fulham Register Office. The marriage broke down in 1894 over her affair with a former lover, the playwright George Bernard Shaw. The Sparlings were divorced in 1898 and May resumed her maiden name.
She edited her father's Collected Works in 24 volumes for Longmans, Green and Company, published from 1910 to 1915, and also commissioned two houses, as had her mother Jane, to be built in the style that he loved after his death, and which are still standing in the village of Kelmscott in the Cotswolds in England.
May Morris died at Kelmscott Manor 17 October 1938
May Morris was an influential embroideress and designer, although her contributions are often overshadowed by those of her father, a towering figure in the Arts and Crafts movement. Morris himself is credited with the resurrection of free-form embroidery in the style which would be termed art needlework. Art needlework emphasized freehand stitching and delicate shading in silk thread, and was thought to encourage self-expression in the needleworker; this contrasted sharply with the brightly coloured Berlin wool work needlepoint and its "paint by numbers" aesthetic which had gripped much of home embroidery in the mid-nineteenth century.
May Morris was active in the Royal School of Art Needlework (now Royal School of Needlework), founded as a charity in 1872 under the patronage of Princess Helena to maintain and develop the art of needlework through structured apprenticeships.

American Express Middle East announced today its corporate vision for 2011. The company, which has been based in the Middle East since 1979 and covers 18 markets, expects to see solid growth this year in its Consumer and Corporate businesses, following a successful 2010 with a double digit growth.
Looking back on 2010, American Express Middle East announced a strong set of results, characterised by steady performance and profitability. New card accounts, a key performance indicator in the payments industry, increased by 16 per cent year-on-year.
American Express has the highest spending Cardmembers of any major payment network, and 2010 proved no different. Year-on-year Customer spend increased by 13%, and Corporate spend by 30% in 2010.
William Keliehor, Chief Executive Officer, American Express Middle East, said: "Despite tough economic conditions, I am pleased to say that American Express Middle East and North Africa performed strongly in 2010. The fact that our Cardmembers increased their spending, given the prevailing market conditions, is a great example of the value that we are able to bring to our merchant partners. This spending was in part driven by our rewards programmes which give Cardmembers much flexibility and a wide range of additional benefits from their purchases."
Looking ahead to 2011, American Express Middle East expects responsible lending to be a key trend for the payments industry, as financial institutions and individuals alike remain cautious. The "return of the business traveler" is also anticipated, as the corporate travel sector recovers from the effects of the global economic slowdown. American Express Middle East also expects to see the continued strength of the premium customer, with spending projected to grow strongly in 2011.
Keliehor said: "2011 will see the financial services sector in the Middle East begin to return to normal. We expect to see growth in both the Consumer and Corporate sides of our business. Customer demands, however, have changed. Financial services that are fulfilled in a safe, trusted and responsible way will be the paradigm of 2011. As our Cards are not mass-market in nature, and we have strict risk management policies to ensure we focus on financially responsible customers, American Express Middle East is ideally placed for growth in 2011."

Russell Davies Gives PSFK Some Advice On How To Make A Magazine
Head of Planning at R/GA London, and columnist at Wired shares his thoughts with us on how to successfully get back to analog in our digital age.
At the same time as our PSFK CONFERENCE NYC on March 30, we aim to publish our first magazine. It's a fun adventure into what PSFK could do offline. To help us think about our approach a little, we spoke to Russell Davies, who among many other interesting things knows how to print a newspaper. Below are the questions we asked and his responses:
So, we are planning to release a magazine at the same time as our NYC conference. We will base the contents around the themes that will run through the talks at the events. Any advice for an online daily publisher wanting to go analog?
Only the obvious ones. It takes longer. It's not the same as printing out the web. It's easier to charge for but harder to carry.
What could we do to keep the paper interactive? For example, do we add QR codes to allow people to 'see more' (such as an accompanying video)?
Why make it interactive? The world's not short of interactive things. Just make it good at what it is.
And how can me make it a social experience? What could we do to add a meta-layer above the printed page which allows likeminded readers to connect around content?
As above.
Finally, what topic area would make you pick up an special issue of PSFK, the magazine?
Trains. Or radio.
:) Ok then… Thanks Russell!

Medicare Physician Payment:
Private-Sector Initiatives Can Help Inform CMS Quality and Efficiency Incentive Efforts
GAO-13-160: Published: Dec 26, 2012. Publicly Released: Dec 26, 2012.

Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
What GAO Found
GAO identified several common themes among private entities under review with initiatives that provide incentives for high-quality, efficient care, and selected physician organizations generally support these themes. Specifically:
- Private entities generally measure performance and make incentive payments at the physician-group level rather than at the individual-physician level. Physician organizations favor this approach.
- Private entities use nationally endorsed performance metrics and noted the need for a standardized set of metrics across all payers. Physician organizations concur that a standardized set of metrics would be less administratively complex.
- Most private entities in GAO's study provide financial incentives tied to meeting absolute benchmarks--fixed performance targets--or a combination of absolute benchmarks and performance improvement. Physician organizations prefer incentives tied to absolute benchmarks over those based on how physicians perform relative to their peers. Physician organizations also favored incentives that reward improvement because baseline levels of performance vary.
- While private entities' incentive payments vary in size and in method, private entities typically provide such payments within 7 months of the end of the performance measurement period. Physician organizations stated that financial incentives should be distributed soon after the measurement period to have the greatest effect on performance.
The efforts of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS)--the agency within the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) that administers the Medicare program--to transform the physician payment system in Medicare reflect, to varying degrees, the themes that GAO identified among selected private entities with physician payment incentives. Specifically, CMS is taking steps to do the following:
- Focus on group-level performance measurement and payment adjustments in the Value-based Payment Modifier (Value Modifier) program, designed to adjust Medicare payments to physicians using performance data on the quality and cost of care provided. However, CMS has yet to develop a method of reliably measuring the performance of physicians in small practices in the Value Modifier program.
- Apply Value Modifier payment adjustments to outlier physicians--rewarding high performers and penalizing poor performers--using absolute performance targets but not performance improvement. Under this benchmarking strategy, it is likely that only high performers will elect to participate in the program's payment adjustment.
- Annually adjust payments through the Value Modifier 1 year after the performance measurement period ends, rather than applying the Value Modifier closer to the time of service delivery. This time lag between performance and payment adjustment may diminish the significance of the incentive to physicians.
Why GAO Did This Study
The Middle Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act of 2012 required that GAO examine private-sector initiatives that base or adjust physician payment rates on quality and efficiency, and the initiatives applicability to the Medicare program. This report provides information on (1) common themes among private entities with payment incentive initiatives, and physician perspectives on those themes; and (2) the extent to which CMSs financial incentive initiatives for Medicare physicians reflect such themes. GAO acquired information from nine private entities on 12 initiatives selected from expert referrals to include various sizes, types, and geographic locations. GAO also obtained information from physician groups, state medical societies, and national physician organizations. GAO additionally interviewed CMS officials and reviewed relevant CMS documents.
What GAO Recommends
CMS should consider whether certain private-sector practices could broaden and strengthen the Value Modifier program's incentives. Specifically, the agency should consider rewarding physicians for performance improvement as well as for meeting absolute benchmarks, and making more timely payment adjustments to better reflect recent physician performance. Furthermore, the agency should develop a strategy to reliably measure the performance of solo or small physician practices. HHS concurred with all of GAO's recommendations for CMS.
For more information, contact James Cosgrove at (202) 512-7114 or email@example.com.
Recommendations for Executive Action
Status: Open
Comments: CMS stated that it is working to implement GAO's recommendation regarding the Value Modifier methodology. Previously, the agency noted that it will investigate accelerating the timeline of the Value Modifier, keeping in mind reporting requirements, data availability, and the need for valid and reliable measures. In addition, Congress passed legislation in 2015 requiring CMS to incorporate certain benchmark methodology and timing aspects that reflect GAO's 2013 recommendation. CMS's efforts may, in time, address GAO recommendations to improve performance benchmarks and the timeliness of payment adjustments, but they have yet to be fully implemented. As of September 2016, CMS officials have not implemented this recommendation. GAO considers it to be open. We will update the status of this recommendation when we receive additional information.
Recommendation: As CMS continues to implement and refine the Value Modifier program to enhance the quality and efficiency of physician care, the Administrator of CMS should consider whether certain private-sector practices could broaden and strengthen the program's incentives. Specifically, she should consider (1) developing at least some performance benchmarks that reward physicians for improvement as well as for meeting absolute performance benchmarks, and (2) making Value Modifier adjustments more timely in order to better reflect recent physician performance.
Agency Affected: Department of Health and Human Services: Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services
Status: Open
Comments: CMS stated that it is working to implement GAO's recommendation to measure the performance of solo and small physician practices. For 2015, CMS included in its Value Modifier policies the amount of payment adjustments for solo and small physician practices, along with the parameters for measurement. In addition, Congress passed legislation in 2015 requiring CMS to establish a process to allow solo and physician practices under ten eligible professionals to be measured in a virtual group. CMS's efforts may, in time, address GAO recommendations to reliably measure the performance of solo and small physician practices, but they have yet to be fully implemented. As of September 2016, CMS officials have not implemented this recommendation. GAO considers it to be open. We will update the status of this recommendation when we receive additional information.
Recommendation: The Administrator should develop a strategy to reliably measure the performance of solo and small physician practices, such as by aggregating their performance data to create informal practice groups.

KEVIN COLBERT, General Manager, Pittsburgh Steelers
Antonio Brown has signed a five-year extension. He's still under contract for six years which will take him through 2017. Antonio's very deserving of this contract. In the two years he's been with us he's continued to make plays. Not so much the first year. The first year, watching him practice, you knew that this kid was going to have a pretty good career and we're excited the next six years are going to be with us.
Q: How could you determine he's worth the money after only two years?
A: As I said, even in Antonio's rookie year, when you watched him practice and the way he practiced and how hard he practiced and how many plays he made in practice, you could see that he was going to have – we thought he was going to have – a great second year, which he did. You look at that and you only hope that it continues, as we think it will.
Q: How does this impact Mike Wallace's future with the team?
A: Today's about Antonio. If you have questions about Antonio, great. If not, we're not going to address them.
Q: You drafted him 27 months ago with a sixth-round pick. Do you remember your thoughts about his potential at that time?
A: We liked his potential. You could see talent. And again, really, when you take him in the sixth round, to do what he's done to this point, it's a bonus, quite honestly. But again, the first season when he practiced, you'd see a ball in the air and he'd be coming down with it against our starting defense. It just seemed like he kept making plays. His development as a receiver – again, he's a young guy and it's only going to get better the more he plays, we anticipate. It's exciting for us and I know it's exciting for Antonio because he's one of our hardest workers and he's never going to be satisfied. He can speak for himself but he wants to win a Super Bowl, and hopefully we're moving toward that end.
ANTONIO BROWN, wide receiver, Steelers
Q: What does it mean to you to happen now?
A: It's special. I'm with a unique organization as the Steelers. Knowing that I'm going to be around here for long-term, it's something amazing. It's really special, something I take pride in and know it's a tremendous honor. It provides me with some security and allows me to play football and focus on winning games.
Q: Who's the first person you called in your family?
A: No one. Unless you're here in training camp, all my focus right now is to prepare and build a foundation for the year upcoming and put my all in, so when it comes time for the fall I'm ready to go.
Q: Do you set new goals every year?
A: Definitely. You always want to be better from last year. You don't want to place a limit on anything. You always want to do more year in and year out. There's more expected and you want to rise to the occasion.
Q: Do you like the receiving corps as it is right now? Or do you have to get Mike Wallace involved?
A: All the men who are here who have their hand in the pile are willing and capable. We've got to do what we've got to do. The men who are going to be here are going to give their all. When Mike gets here we'll embrace him.
Q: How do you like the new offense? Will it be different from last year?
A: It's really good. It's kind of the same. Different terminology. But with all 11 men buying in, getting on the same page, we should be able to execute.
Q: Is your job going to be the same?
A: Definitely.
Q: When did these negotiations begin to involve you?
A: I haven't even taken time to focus on it. Being at training camp, my focus right now is to be in great shape, get prepared to play preseason games, and get ready for the year.
Q: So the negotiations didn't affect you at all?
A: No, not at all. I'm here to play football and build a foundation for the year.
Q: Did you allow yourself last night to think about how quickly this is happening for a sixth-round pick from a small school who's only started three games?
A: No, I haven't taken time to focus on it, but what I do realize is I've been given a great opportunity to be around an organization that's really special. I'm tremendously honored and thankful about that. All I can do is work to give them my best as long as I'm here.
Q: What can you do with 16 starts?
A: Man, we're going to see. I've got three under my belt and I'm looking forward to this year and start fully.
Q: When did you learn to separate things and focus on one thing without distractions? Where does that come from?
A: Winning. Winning is all about what's important now. What's important now is me focusing on training camp, getting on the same page, learning the offense, and getting ready for the year.
Q: Is the little guy on Mike Tomlin's lap (four-year-old Antonio Jr. wearing DaBeard Gear) a paid endorser by Brett Keisel?
A: Definitely. We actually just came from the gathering with Brett Keisel at Dino's, so we're definitely on board for fearing the beard.
MIKE TOMLIN, coach, Steelers
Q: Is he too expensive to be a return man now?
A: He'll be available in that regard when I call on him. I'm sure he'll be tapping me on the shoulder some. We've not closed the door on that but we are looking at some young, promising guys.
Q: Did his camp last year surprise you the way it surprised a lot of us?
A: He's put together a body of work in the 24 months or so he's been here that's been very consistent in terms of how he approaches the game. I'm less and less everyday surprised by what he does. We can frame his story in that he's a sixth-round pick, or he's had three career starts. The reality is the guy's been electric for us since he's been here. The first time he touched a ball in an NFL stadium he scored. He was our MVP last year. Who starts or runs out of the tunnel is less important than the production on the field, and when given an opportunity he's done it and done it in a big way. We expect it to continue.

how important is it for moisture barrier to cover sides of floating floor?
I will be laying down an engineered floating (click-lock) floor, over an existing old hardwood floor, in a 13'x15' room which is over a 1st floor bedroom. All the instructions for laying moisture barrier (with or without underlayment) say to run it up the walls a few inches to form a "tub" effect, thus keeping any moisture from creeping into the sides of the floor. But what about in a doorway? The best I can imagine is to have it just barely cover the end of the boards just underneath a threshold transition.
Also, after the floor is laid I plan on drilling a hole for a recessed electrical outlet, but that will mean the moisture barrier will not be covering the sides of the floor where the outlet goes in.
Are these potential problems? Or is the theory, "run the moisture barrier up the walls wherever you can, but it doesn't have to be 100% perfect to be effective"?
Even though this is on a 2nd floor over a bedroom, I want to seal out the moisture very well because the new floor will be over radiant electric heating (just for a central area of the room -- the recessed outlet will NOT be near the heating elements).
I'm confused conrad.
You said it's a first floor bedroom right, is the floor over a concrete slab or is it a wood subfloor. Also, is the floor above an un-insulated crawl space?
If this floor is on or above grade and isn't over a concrete slab you don't need the vapour barrier. Every manufacturer I deal with recommends vapour only in circumstances where the new floor will be installed below grade or on concrete.
Most floor covering manufacturers have the same pre-installation stipulations related to in-floor heating. They say that the system (heating) must be running 48 to 72 hours prior to installation. This helps dry out some of that moisture. Then, it must be turned off for length of the installation, and back on gradually over 72 hours so as not to "shock" the new floor.
I still don't see why you'd need the vapour barrier though.
Have fun with it :thumbsup:

After years of working day jobs and making music in his basement, Jacob Slichter wondered if his dreams of rock stardom were a vain illusion. Then he was recruited by two of his successful musician friends to form a band that became Semisonic. Who could forget the smash single -Closing Time, - a runaway hit in 1998 that thrust Jake and his bandmates into the international spotlight and helped them sell over two million albums worldwide? But along the road to fame and success came bewilderment and personal chaos: How will we ever get a record deal? Which record company is the best? The worst? Do I really have to wear these ridiculous boots? Why isn't radio playing our song? What if I have a panic attack right here on stage? What should I write on this fan's CD? Am I famous? Why isn't the video director getting more shots of me? Did I say the wrong thing during that interview? Help
So You Wanna Be a Rock & Roll Star is a telling and witty look at what happens just before and during one's time in the spotlight. Jake takes readers on a step-by-step journey of his evolution from fledgling drummer to globetrotting performer and proves to be the perfect guide--feisty and humbled--to the inner workings of the music industry and instant celebrity. So You Wanna Be a Rock & Roll Star speaks to all of us who dream again and again of rock superstardom and shows how one kid can go from picking up a pair of drumsticks to picking up a platinum record.

Phalanx Strong (XS)
Phalanx: a body of troops or police officers, standing or moving in close formation. The term originated in Ancient Greece and is one the most effective and enduring military formations needed for victory.
Compete Ambassador Chris Champagne and his fellow Spartan Race members are teaming up as a unified team to raise money for the American Cancer Society and their efforts. The shirt is a reminder that in a battle like this, we are always more successful working together than individual.
