Can't Thank You Enough!! - Miami, FL
I had broken my nose years ago and have always wanted it to look better as well as breathe correctly. Recently I was presented with the opportunity by my fiancé to research doctors and push forward with surgery. I live in Naples and set up a few consultations with doctors in the area. As soon as I sent the email to set up a consult, Dr. Salzhauer's office called me in minutes. I was... READ MORE

The Bible states that every believer is given at least one spiritual gift. "Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good." (1 Cor. 12:7) Scripture also states, "…you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free."
The truth about salvation can set you free from the power and penalty of sin, and the truth about spiritual gifts can set you free to serve God by ministering to others. Understanding your unique design and giftedness will enable you to choose a ministry
The following assessment will help identify the gift(s) God has given you to use for His glory. Please use it as a guide only, realizing that it is a man-made instrument and not inspired like Scripture. Make sure the ministry area in which you volunteer
Read the following statements and place a number from 1 to 4 beside each statement that best describes how the statement fits you (1 = never, 2 = sometimes, 3 = often and 4 = always).
Answer as you really feel, not as you think you "ought" to answer. You must be completely candid with your answers in order for this assessment to be most effective in helping you determine the gifts with which God has blessed you.

In Comcast Corp. v. Behrend the court will look at whether class action certification can be granted without first proving class damages, as opposed to simply finding that the damages are capable of being awarded on a classwide basis. The plaintiffs challenged Comcast cable practices, claiming they are anticompetitive and raise the cost of basic cable for viewers. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit agreed with the district court that the plaintiffs need not prove their damages to have the class certified, because the plaintiffs proved the damages are capable of being proved on a classwide basis at trial. This case has the potential to severely limit the ability of consumers to enforce their rights, because it could make it too difficult and expensive to bring class action litigation. Class action litigation is often the only way consumers can obtain remedies for practices that cost a large number of people a small amount of money but result in billions of dollars of profits for unscrupulous companies.
Monopolistic activities are also in question in FTC v. Phoebe Putney Health Systems, which examines whether state immunity of federal antitrust laws applies when a local hospital authority buys the only competing hospital in a rural county. While AARP will not file an amicus brief in this case, it is watching the debate closely, as there is extensive evidence that hospital mergers have been shown to increase prices and reduce quality of care.
Another case that AARP is watching but will not file a brief on involves whether extending the statute of limitations is permissible for hospitals filing appeals to the Provider Reimbursement Review Board in their efforts to obtain payments statutorily due for services provided to patients under the Medicare program when, as the hospitals contend, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) failed to calculate and provide accurate reimbursements in a timely manner. The answer could have an impact on hospitals and result in the Medicare system's facing substantial liability.
Discussed above are cases the Supreme Court has agreed to hear. Still in the pipeline are cases with respect to which the court has not yet determined whether it will grant review, including those on the ADEA, Medicare reimbursement rates, pharmaceutical and medical process patents, the collective bargaining rights of Medicaid home care personal assistants, the rights of Medicaid beneficiaries and providers, standards that pension plan managers must meet in making investment decisions, disability rights, the ability to enforce fair-housing laws against facially neutral laws that have a disparate impact on a protected class, class action rights of consumers and, last but not least, voting rights. Closely watched in this hotly contested election year are cases from a number of states that have enacted restrictive voter-ID laws that threaten to disenfranchise poor, disabled and older voters.
Stuart Cohen is AARP Foundation Litigation senior vice president.

The author of the Marriage (Definition of Marriage) Amendment Bill has delivered the first submission on it to the Government Administration Select Committee at Parliament.
ŌĆ£At the outset, much of the opposition has been motivated by a basic premise that some people consider homosexuality is unacceptable or a sin,ŌĆØ she said.
ŌĆ£There have been attempts to revisit issues that have already been determined. In other words some opponents need to be honest and declare that what they truly seek is to repeal the Homosexual Law Reform Act 1986.ŌĆØ
Wall said this is shown by the number of vocal opponents who argue from a first principle position of homosexuality being a sin and homosexuals being sinners, and the position of switching to being against civil unions to now supporting them in order to oppose marriage equality.
She added the decriminalisation of homosexuality between men in 1986 and the extension of the grounds of unlawful discrimination to sexual orientation in 1993 are democratically agreed and are necessary steps that have evolved in New Zealand from the original Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1948.
ŌĆ£A number of people have raised the fact that non-heterosexual couples should be satisfied with civil unions and not be able to enter the institution of marriage because there is the choice to formalise relationships with civil unions. There is no logical or rational base on which a heterosexual couple should be able to choose to commit to each other by way of civil union or marriage and non-heterosexual couples are unable to exercise that same choice,ŌĆØ she said in her submission.
Wall also touched on those in opposition to the Bill issuing press releases on a regular basis that contain ŌĆ£mistruths and misleading information,ŌĆØ such as claiming Churches will be forced to marry any couple issued with a licence, which she said was ŌĆ£plainly wrongŌĆØ and ŌĆ£has never been the situationŌĆØ as Ministers have always been able to refuse to officiate for whatever reason they want and this would remain unchanged.
She said the opposition also claimed she had personally acknowledged that the Bill would force Churches to perform same-sex marriages in Church halls ŌĆō but the law already prohibits any body or organisation from refusing to offer goods or services to the public on such grounds, and her Bill does nothing to change this.
ŌĆ£To suggest this Bill changes that is disingenuous and is a desperate and deliberate attempt to provoke a response based on misinformation,ŌĆØ she stated.
Wall also covered what she terms the ŌĆ£ridiculous ŌĆśslippery slopeŌĆÖ argument that has been raisedŌĆØ.
ŌĆ£This Bill is about eliminating discrimination and inequality in the civil and social institution of marriage. Polygamy, bigamy, bestiality and incest are criminal offences and will remain so,ŌĆØ she told the committee.
ŌĆ£It is insulting for people to even raise such issues within the context of a discussion about marriage equality.
ŌĆ£Such arguments are a reflection of the true attitudes of those proposing them as it reflects their attitude toward those who are currently discriminated against, homosexual or non-heterosexual New Zealanders, by the current administration of our Marriage Act 1955.
ŌĆ£That is a discussion we have already had - homosexual New Zealanders are able to live free, open and honest lives and this reality underpins my Bill. Marriage is the fundamental unit in society as a social and civil institution. It is one that many couples contemplate, the ideal or fairy tale to find one's life partner and it is the choice to enter that institution that my Bill seeks.ŌĆØ
Wall concludes that her Bill does not give any group of people greater rights and adds she believes itŌĆÖs a generational issue.
ŌĆ£This is a concept well understood by younger people - those who are the future of our country and who this Bill is particularly relevant to, given the choices they will make as they progress through their lives in forming and founding their own families.ŌĆØ
Wall says marriage equality will send a strong message that as a society we value all people, regardless of sex, sexual orientation or gender identity and that we pay more than lip service to the United Nations Declaration of Human Rights that all people are born free and equal in dignity and rights.
ŌĆ£A number of vocal opponents have clearly articulated the message that if you are homosexual or transgender you are not entitled to the same rights that they have,ŌĆØ she said.
ŌĆ£Such an attitude is bigoted and discriminatory and just plain unfair.
ŌĆ£Imagine how a homosexual or transgender person feels -
being told that they are not entitled to all that is available to other people,
that they do not deserve to have the same rights,ŌĆØ Wall said.
ŌĆ£For many coping with their sexuality and the challenges that brings is difficult enough - without the overt prejudice that is clearly directed towards them often in the name of religion or culture.ŌĆØ

|Topic Review (Newest First)
You can install a grounding plate near your centerboard well and run the engine ground to that. Now it doesn''t matter if the engine is up or down
2. Install another ground plate straight below the mast(electricity doesn''t like to turn corners). Now run your no. 4(at LEAST no. 4) to that. I think the best way to avoid a lighting strike is to avoid a lighting strike. This can be done by not allowing the static electricity to build up. Lightning just doesn''t strike, it is "provoked" by static electricity building up in your rigging and then jets skyword in the form of a streemer luring the strike. A electrical engineer told me the best thing to do to avoid this is to cable clamp a no. 6 tinned wire to the upper shroud base on each side of the boat,strip 6" of insulation off the other ends, solder up those ends and simply drop them into the water. (I''ve done this on my boat).This gives the static electricity a chance to bleed-off thus preventing a streemer thus preventing a strike. But remember, there are no absolute guaranties against a lightning strike.
Dennis L.
Get a Dynaplate sintered bronze ground plate. Two 1/4" bolts hold it in the hull, so minimal drilling. The bolts serve as attachment terminals for VHF ground and lightning grounding. I''m not convinced that you can get away from direct strike results. I still let go the helm once in awhile when the flash occurs. A lot of people think there''s some magic bullet for lightning, but "protected" boats that do get hit still get fried.
Several years ago I had a similar situation on a Hunt 17 swing keel with outboard. The boat was on a fresh water lake near Ft Worth TX so the lightning issue was major. I ran 1" wide copper as my ground buss for radio, house lights, etc. I kept the buss isolated from everything not using house batteries. Two lengths of 15'' chain (with a large battery type clip at one end) was modified with a piece of #4 copper wire. The copper wire ran nearly the entire length, was soldered to the chain at 1'' intervals and trimmed to make a fine point at the end. I would attach the clips to the shrouds on each side and drop the chains in the water as a storm approached. When possible I would try to get the chains on the bottom (in the mud). Never had a direct strike and never fried any electronics in five years of that kind of sailing. My current boat is setup the way Mr. Casey suggests, however this boat has an auxilary engine, deep fixed keel, galvanic isolator and is in salt water. Hope this helps. Greg
Hi, I have a 26'' boat with a swing keel. I have just gutted it out & one of the first things I was going to do was the wiring. I purchased & read Don Casey''s book on wiring a sailboat.
Here is the problem(s).
1. He says to ground your house batteries to the engine so the ground will be in contact with the water through the propeller shaft. I have an outboard that when not in use, does not touch the water.
2. He says for lightning protection you should ground your mast to the keel with a #4 wire. My keel is a swing keel that has the pivot point outside the boat under the waterline, so attaching to the keel is out of the question.
Any advise would be helpfull.
Thanks, Larry C

Before result is the pink line and after result is the blue line.
I originally had a lean AFR above 4000 rpm, I have graphs on the first page of this thread.
I initially thought it was solely something to do with the remap, I e-mailed Darren from APTuning and told him what was going on and he got onto it straight away. Talking to other tuners and comparing my old ecu file with the mapped one and my graphs. With no hesitation he got his tuner to adjust things for me slightly without altering things for the worst ( too much fuel ).
I was having a check of my engine and I found a small split in the intake boot which I believe was causing this? I changed the intake boot.
It came out trumps in the end and I would like to specially thank Darren for all his time and efforts
car is 2.8 z3 .mods are m50 inlet manfold custom system with decat home made induction kit and air feed daztek piggy back ecu controling the fueling set us on the rolling road it made 234.2 bhp at the crank and 190.4 at the wheels

It might be worth cross posting this in the general hair discussion or 4 section. They get more traffic.
Could you describe what you're currently doing? Like, how often do you wash it? What products are you currently using? How are you styling it? Isn't it mostly the dryness that's the problem? I really hope people on this site can help you out.

Well mine is arriving in less than 30 hours and no one has started the thread so I figure I might as well go ahead and do it!
Welcome to the official owners thread for the Panasonic ZT60.
Lets see some pictures from the early owners and initial thoughts.
It's about time. Thanks for taking the initiative, Yao.
Finally...Congrats for your tv yaomizzle
Mine will be here Friday, can't wait!!
Looking for the first Canadian to get one, please post here and retailer!
On a list but starting to really tire of the anticipation - maybe it was the fact I pre-arranged all my cabling yesterday putting in new and currently unused HDMIs, bundled all my soon-to-be-unnecessary cabling so when the ZT arrives it will be a very quick swap...
These are the kinds of things I am doing to fill up my time...
Couldn't sleep in because of the excitement last night so I had to make it haha. Did a few reserves, figured we could load one up with links to review. One for dnice settings and maybe others. And one I figured we could have as a list of ownership numbers to see how far apart we members are compared to "regular" people who are ordering them
Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD
My number is 545 on a 65ZT60
Got it from MHT. Ordered 4/30 and first delivery date was delayed which was scheduled for 5/13 then rescheduled for 5/24 which it came on
Have 67 hours on it already and can calibrate soon with ControlCal and Chromapure
Below are impressions I have posted in other threads
This is no where near my full impressions, but a few things right off the bat from the 6 or so hours I have spent with the set.
First the few things I don't like and this nothing to do with the display itself. Just 2 small small things.
1. The 3D glasses don't come in a case like they did with the VT25, and VT30 I have.
2. The remote. It is ok very plain. I was really hoping for the remote that came with the EU models. It just looks more high end.
3. The viera control app is good for making adjustments but it reads everything at 100% or dead on in the CIE chart which obviously isn't the case
Now for the display itself...
I love this thing so far. I haven't calibrated it yet as I'm waiting to get the hours on the display which between running slides and watching TV 24/7 the next few days I plan to have 100 on it by Monday night, maybe tuesday morning. I have been running it with slides using Dnices settings and watching it on cinema with low contrast. After which I'll calibrate it and give full impressions.
After going through the picture modes THX bright is actually pretty damn bright, I havent measure it but it's more then enough for day viewing in a moderately naturally lit room imho, THX cinema seems to be more accurate though, and EBU seems almost identical to THX cinema though it seems that green is a little high. Motion on this display is superb, very fluid.
I'm not sure if it is the gradations or the new red phosphor or a combination of both but I'm pretty sure I was seeing some different shades that I previously missed on other displays. Will have to check on my VT30 and 500M though to make sure. I originally thought it was a uniformity issue but I know it wasn't that as I checked for it when I started running the panel and it has no uniformity issues. No dead pixels or banding that I can see. I still havent checked for line bleed though that will be later tonight.
The panel is light also. soooo much lighter than my VT30. After moving my VT30 to the bedroom picking up the ZT and mounting it made it feel like a feather lol.
Aesthetically this display is sexy! The chrome trim pulls it all together. At first I wasn't sure about the chrome, but it adds an element of class to it. It just looks high end with the chrome shining.
Having it at the time of day I got it was perfect because that is my problem time so I got to see first hand how it effects my issue. Reflections on a black screen will always be there but what I found was with the filter. It basically eats light. Meaning when light hits it instead of spreading around the screen, it stays central to the area it it, and minimizes reflections around that spot. This is with daylight and ambient light like a lamp. Also it makes the light source hitting it dimmer then it normally would be. Leagues ahead of my VT30.
Overall very happy with my purchase. The 8500 was also on the list, and is no doubt a fine display, but for me the ZT is the only option.
Running the 12 color slides I really didn't see much. So I switched to 120 color slides and found a very very very faint band to the right of the set as well as to the left. The left one is very difficult to see. It also only shows with one of the grays. The right side one of the blues and one of the purples. Not sure if you have seen the 120 slide set but it is showing on the pinkish/purple color one. The one that is like 2 away from white. That being said I actually had to look for it to see it by looking at the center of the set and from center look to the left or right you will kind of see but the second I try to look at it seems to get lost when trying to see it. If you had the set in 4:3 and had that color bar on the side you would see it maybe
I dont see it on full screen whites which wold be my main concern. Over all it looks like I have maybe 2-3 vertical bands. It's so faint though it's not a concern.
Update to this after having the display for about 72 hours running 24/7
The vertical bands have all pretty much disappeared except for the one on the far right which is about an inch in from the edge.
Display has minimal plasma buzz on full whites or high IRE screens. Nothing not normal for plasma. The fans are quite, and surprisingly it really isn't even all that hot.
Sammie, make sure you use my latest ControlCAL G/VT30 Edition v2.0.8, I believe I emailed you that version's download link.. let me know if I need to send it again
Just made another owner's thread and want to delete it. How do I do it?
My number is 526. Got the 65 inch. Absolutely love it thus far!
Blacks on this TV are SO BLACK. As black as I have ever seen. The out of the box THX Cinema mode is fantastic. Still can't wait to calibrate and will be doing so in a couple of weeks. Looking for a skilled calibrator in the Tampa Bay area if anyone knows one since the Geek Squad guy was trying to convince me that more expensive HDMI cables are better when we all know that is essentially not the case. Since he wasn't aware of that (or simply trying to upsell) I would prefer someone that has been verified.
Does anyone know how to make an exact duplicate of a picture mode? I would
Like to make a copy of the THX cinema mode and then edit it with CNet's calibrated settings and check it out.
THX Modes WB adjustments are only available through the service menu so you would have to get the service menu DRV and CUT and apply them to a different mode. Even then not sure it would be an exact copy.
It turns out CNet modified the Cinema mode, not the THX cinema mode. I used their calibration settings in Cinema mode and it looks great. For those of you interested in trying them, they are here:
Ah good note! I would totally have messed w/ THX cinema... kinda like leaving those presets untouched and messing in other places... but Im willing to revisit that plan!
If you guys want to mess with those modes and experiment you can always do it on another input and not your main one.
Congrats! Can't wait to see pics of the tv itself.
What is the easiest way to post pics on here? I have several pics on my iPad...
My first ZT60 was DOA today. I was disappointed but they ask me if I would take the demo, they had just put it out Saturday night before closing. It was either that or wait till the next batch to come in on June 13th.
So I said yes, they delivered the demo.
Looks very good! Has only 10 hrs on it do needs to be broke in.

Can't wait to get it broke in and calibrated!

45 Tasting Notes
Birthday cake, I love anything that has to do with birthday cake! By itself, I don't taste the birthday cake AS MUCH, but when I add milk and sweetener, it's a different story. Hot, it tastes and smells like a yellow/white cake baking in an oven. Cold, it reminds me kind of like birthday cake ice cream. This tea oddly reminds me of the Oh Canada tea, it does have some sort of maple aftertaste, but I prefer this tea much better than Oh Canada. This cake tea works great as a dessert served as a latte, it's very indulgent and even my little brother who is picky about anything loves this tea!
This is one of my favourite teas of all time! So much so I finished up the 50g, and bought a 100g tin! I'm a huge fan of roses and floral teas, as well as chocolate teas and this was NOT a disappointment at all! It tastes great, hot on it's own, and I don't need any additives to pick it up (like milk or sweetening). You can subtly taste the strawberries, too! But I felt like the chocolate and roses were the most dominant flavours of this tea.
For something a bit richer, I drink this hot with some sweetener and milk. It tastes so rich and like a dessert! I love it. Also, it's great cold (and it then it tastes more like strawberries and roses, I find) with some milk and sweetening as well. Either way, it's a great blend and it's one of my favourites from DavidsTea. 100 rating for me, I hope they never stop making love tea #7!
it's OK as far as this tea goes. I don't really taste the oolong, and this tea is very fruity. I smelled peaches, but when it steeps you do taste a bit of the mango flavour, and just subtly the pineapple because of the slight tang you feel on your tongue. I'm not a big fan of fruity teas, this one was just okay. I would not purchase it for myself again, but my partner loves this stuff because it reminds him of candy.
I don't quite understand the concept of the tea – I guess it's pretty because it does glitter once steeped and ready to drink, but that's it. It's quite sweet without any addition of sugar, and I could very just subtly taste a cinnamon taste, if any. I felt like I was just drinking a sugary tea. Not my favourite tea, this one was recommended by the girls at the DavidsTea store I frequent, they usually know what I like but this is a miss. :(
You can definitely taste the pu'erh in this tea, but that's not a bad thing! This tea is great, actually. I was immediately drawn to it by the name (I love chocolate oranges) and when I smelled it at the store it was divine! So I bought 50g and I'm very happy with it. It's great cold, first of all, with just a splash of milk – it feels like you're drinking a chocolate orange candy! No need to add any sweetener! When I drink this hot, I don't put any milk (though I have tried once, t'was good) and it's great on it's own, tastes like dark chocolate with a little bitterness from the orange peels. If you love chocolate blends and also enjoy citrus, this tea is for you. I love it!
It's minty, and sweet! Although I do like those two together, it wasn't anything amazing to me. Just tasted like a sweetened mint tea. It reminded me subtly of "Read my Lips" sans chocolate. I'll finish this tea of course, but it's not something I'd go and buy again.
The scent of this tea is just DIVINE. It smells JUST like red velvet cake! (Even the cream cheese scent!) This is one of my favourites, and is best served as a dessert for me, especially with a touch of milk and sugar – it's decadent and rich served that way. I have not yet tasted it cold, but hot is amazing.
I got this tea because the girls at DavidsTea recommended it to me because I like chocolate teas. As promised, there is a strong taste of chocolate when you drink this tea. It's very minty, it reminds me of a chocolate chip mint ice cream, but in tea form. The mint is very refereshing, and pairs well with the chocolate. I found this tea to be great hot or cold, but I like it best cold actually, especially as a dessert with a bit of sugar and cream. A must for any mint or chocolate fan!

SOPA (Stop Online Piracy Act) goes several steps too far in fighting piracy. And the tech industry is being stopped from speaking to the Judiciary Committee hearing on Wednesday, November 16th.
Organized by the "copyright cartel" of record companies and Hollywood studios, SOPA and their supporters aim to stop piracy by making it a simple process to severely curtail every website that links to a site that may distribute copyrighted material. Yes, you read that right. If a comment below put a link to Pirate Bay, copyright holders could force payment processors and advertising networks to stop working with this website. No payments and no advertising means exactly what you think it means. How much time does a website have to comply after a complaint? Five days.
The issue today is not the overly broad, badly written bill that could stop free speech on the Web, but the fact that the head of NetCoalition, expected to give the industry's side of the story during the hearing, has been denied a chance to speak. No doubt someone will raise some vague issues of concern about the bill, but not someone knowledgeable and well versed in Web copyright abuses through bills such as the DMCA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act).

I got home at 12:45 AM last night. I am within 24 hours of the most incredible sport spectacle I have ever had the pleasure of witnessing live. A friend offered me the opportunity to use one of their tickets to go to the Women's World Cup Final (USA v. Japan) in Frankfurt.
Immediately the rational, sensible, mother-of-seven-years-side of me went into gear. Kick-off wasn't until 20:45, Ethan is away and I have three children… I couldn't go! Fortunately, the passionate, soccer-loving side of me overrode that, and I committed to making it work. Sitter, check. Homemade shirt and obnoxious hat, check. Good friends to get me to the stadium and back, check. I did it. I spent seven of the fastest hours of my life, supporting our ladies in the middle of our adopted German homeland.
The soccer was inspiring, the fans were committed, the international fervor and yet mutual respect were something to behold. There I sat, in the heart of old Europe, watching a team from the Pacific Rim play their hearts out against our New World soccer standard-bearing women. I enjoyed an organic bratwurst with mustard, while I watched women in beautiful Japanese kimonos settle into the seats around me with their classy-but-passionate excitement. I saw plenty of facepainted U.S. bellies, heck, I wore a homemade shirt and light-up Uncle Sam hat myself.
What a year to have this experience. The women on that field were my peers. Some my exact same age. I played some highish level soccer in both California and the D.C.-area for 12 years. I know the level of time and energy required to be a competitive soccer player, and the level at which these women play is simply exhilarating. Furthermore, there was national character being displayed on that field. The U.S. women were persistent and fierce, but the Japanese were focused and efficient. The timing of the Japanese goals (within ten minutes after each U.S. goal) alone earned them the penalty kick shoot-out which gave them the title. Seeing three subsequent penalty shots stopped by the diminutive Japanese keeper was almost surreal. The celebration of the Japanese team as they were showered with golden glitter was genuine, intense and classy. Several of them formed a small circle and bowed low to the perfect green grass, honoring Buddha, presumably, but someone other than themselves assuredly. As we stayed, transfixed by the spectacle, after the cup had been handed out. The Japanese women put the trophy down, and picked up a large banner which read "Thank you to our fans in Japan and around the World" in English and proceeded painstakingly around the perimeter of the field so that we all got to see.
The night was magical, I was never once embarrassed of my blinking Uncle Sam hat, but I also learned a great deal about Japanese culture and values, simply from watching a 120 minute football match with them. When I came home to my apartment to send my spouse a quick note, the Yahoo homepage blared, "Japan wins World Cup when US falls apart in penalty kicks". Well, I am so glad I was physically present, because I know that that is not at all what happened. Rather, a group of inspired, diligent women, brought home a golden trophy that they deserve to guard on their national soil until 2015 in Canada. Then the U.S. women can have another shot at it, and I hope to be there again. What a night.

The Most Important Urban Square You've Never Heard Of
Why Rotterdam's Theater Square Represents a Turning Point for Urban Design
Art history rarely recognizes a masterpiece in its time. And neither does urban design and landscape architecture. So it's time to pay homage to a groundbreaking urban square that changed the way designers approach urban sites.
Situated in the heart of Rotterdam, Schouwburgplein, or Theater Square was built in what was formerly a large blank space without character. Surrounded by nondescript lowrise towers that were built after the Nazi destruction, Schouwburgplein is built on top of underground parking. Designed by the landscape architecture firm West 8, the square is an interactive urban space, flexible and adaptive to the user's needs.
In the tradition of Italy's medieval squares, the design for Schouwburgplein emphasizes the importance of void, creating a panorama which opens to the skyline. The entire concept of the design revolves around the idea of adaptability. Lead designer Adriaan Geuze prefers the "emptiness" to overprogrammed urban spaces and argues that urban dwellers are capable of creating their own meaning in environments.
While traditional European squares are a representation of civic and religious power, Schouwburgplein empowers the public to determine their uses. Though the square is mostly flat and open, the secret to its effectiveness is the design of the urban surface. To emphasize the square as a stage, the entire surface is raised above the surrounding streets. In addition, the square's mosaic of surface materials encourage different uses. The west side of the square is a poured epoxy floor containing silver leaves. The east side (with more sunlight) has a wooden bench over the entire length and warm materials including rubber and timber decking on the ground plane. The change in materials inspire different uses: children play a game on one surface, while skateboarders ride on another.
The surface of the square is embedded with connections for electricity and water, as well as facilities to build tents and fencing for temporary events. As a result, the surface is active and dynamic, a living field that allows the square to change day by day, hour by hour. This idea of urban surface as a living agricultural field is a departure from the philosophies of both classical and modern design. The urban surface is no longer a realm of fixed objects, but a living connective tissue capable of supporting indeterminate uses.
Good design has alway prompted contempt from institutions dedicated to neo-traditional. The nonprofit Project for Public Spaces has added Schouwburgplein to its Hall of Shame, claiming that "this is a perfect example of how a design statement cannot be a great square." The site goes on to say the square is often underused during certain times of day, a clear indication of its failure. PPS unfairly blames the design of the square for problems of the fragmented and under-utilized urban context. Of course, the PPS has always been a bit critical of anything built after the Victorian era.
History remembers projects that mark a turning point. The design of Theater Square represents a shift from the square as fixed object to the square as dynamic field; from a site of representation and power to a site of democracy and openness; from overprogrammed public space to an enabling territory. The shift in thinking represented in this design is already percolating through universities and cutting edge design firms.
The Urban Wilderness: The Poetics of Industrial Ruins and Untamed Nature
The Schoneberger Sudgelande Nature Park in Germany
Parks in America are the latest casualty to interest-group politics. The park designer must not only satisfy its municipal client, but must carefully redistrict the space to meet the demands of citizen advocates: the dog park people, the kiddie playground mommies, the bikers, the rollerbladers, the garden clubs, and the birders. Like a diplomat in the Balkans, the designer's role is to gerrymander a site, parceling off piece by piece to the urban consumers. Parks today have more in common with theme parks—a ride for every user—than their pastoral predecessors.
The Schoneberger Sudgelande Nature Park is the perfect antidote to interest-group parks. Located just south of Berlin, Sudgelande is the site of a former railway switchyard. Abandoned after World War II, the site sat fallow for the past fifty years. During that time, a richly-diverse grassland and forest crept over the site, covering the industrial site in a green patina.
The park's dystopian beauty engages the imagination in a way that most "designed" spaces fail to do. The ruins of the industry and technology are a profound expression of transitoriness, an intimation of mortality that is at once haunting and uplifting. Like Wordsworth at Tintern Abbey, the ruins of Sudgelande present the visitor with an ontological gap that stimulate the imagination rather than constrain it.
I love this park precisely because I believe in mystery. The way a rail track appears in a forest only to disappear into the brambles. Or how a tower emerges out of the canopy only to be eclipsed in vegetation. Mystery speaks to our souls before our intellect comprehends. Mystery has the power to radically de-center us, to pull us out of ourselves and ground us in a deeper reality.
My good friend, mentor, and visionary landscape architect, Ching-Fang Chen, first brought my attention to this park after she visited it in 2007. Fortunately for those of us in the Washington, D.C. area, Ching-Fang now works with Montgomery County (M-NCPPC) and is promoting sustainable park development based on the concept of managed succession and spontaneous vegetation.
Sudgelande offers a model for the future: a park that allows the layers of history to coexist with the spontaneous movement of nature. At the intersection of culture and wilderness, we behold mystery.
Abstract Expressionism and Planting Design: A Visual Analogy
I have always been drawn to abstract expressionism, both artistically and philosophically. Art critic Harold Rosenburg described the genre in terms of its action, "At a certain moment the canvas began to appear to one American painter after another as an arena in which to act. What was to go on the canvas was not a picture but an event." In the same way, I am drawn to planting design which is muscular and gestural. It speaks to the viewer at an emotional and spiritual level, and arranges plants in an ecologically sympathetic geometry. Here, I've set Joan Mitchell's After April is set next to a Piet Oudolf composition:
Helen Frankenthaler once said, "A really good picture looks as if it's happened at once. It's an immediate image. For my own work, when a picture looks labored and overworked, and you can read in it. And I usually throw these out, though I think very often it takes ten of those over-labored efforts to produce one really beautiful wrist motion that is synchronized with your head and heart, and you have it, and therefore it looks as if it were born in a minute."
So in looking at the paintings I love, it becomes increasingly clear: the only planting worth doing is big, bold, and gestural. Strive for expansive, moody, luminous design. And remember that best naturalist design is first humanist.
Loosen Up that Landscape!
An Earth Day Challenge to Gardeners and Designers
"Do gardens have to be so tame, so harnessed, so unfree? What's new about our New American Garden is what's new about America itself: it is vigorous and audacious, and it vividly blends the natural and the cultivated." James van Sweden
My former boss and mentor, James van Sweden was always quotably evangelistic about the need for American gardens to loosen up. Founder of the New American Garden style, James van Sweden and Wolfgang Oehme created a legacy of projects that presented a beautiful and lush alternative to the typical American garden scene: a sea of lawn with overgrown evergreens stuffed under foundations.
James van Sweden is hardly the first or only voice advocating for an alternative to the typical American yard. Organizations like Lawn Reform, writers like Rick Darke, and landscape architecture firms like Andropogon have all offered compelling alternatives to the typical American landscape. But forty years after the first Earth Day, I have to ask: has the American garden style really progressed?
Instead, let me present a case for a radically different landscape, a departure from the traditional obsession with fixed forms. My humble advice to gardeners and designers for Earth Day is:
5. Have fun: One of the first reactions I get when I tell people I'm a landscape architect is an immediate moan about how terrible their yard is. People don't know what to do and are overwhelmed by the maintenance required of mowing lawn and clipping shrubs. While I believe in principles of design, and in the need for landscape professionals, I believe more strongly in people having a joyous engagement with their garden. No matter what that looks like. So get out there, start with a manageable project, and create the change that loosens up your yard. Be daring, be bold, and have some fun, for crying out loud.

Whistleblowers pay price even as China vows to fight corruption
By Sui-Lee Wee
HUIZHOU, China (Reuters) - Chinese bloggers trying to expose corruption say they are coming under increasing physical and verbal attack over their reports, in what anti-graft activists describe as another blow to efforts to make Chinese officials more accountable.
At least six self-styled whistleblowers have been assaulted or harassed in recent months, according to media reports, Internet postings and several of the bloggers who spoke to Reuters.
Two unidentified men stabbed blogger Li Jianxin in the face and splashed acid on his back on July 8. Li, now blind in his right eye, remains in hospital in the southern city of Huizhou.
The attacks coincide with a government crackdown on activists demanding officials disclose their wealth, underscoring the limits of an anti-corruption push by President Xi Jinping.
Xi, who became president in March, has called for action against graft, warning, as many Chinese leaders have before him, that the problem could threaten the ruling Communist Party's survival.
"If President Xi Jinping is serious about fighting graft, then he should ensure that these individuals are protected from such intimidation and persecution," said Maya Wang, a researcher at Human Rights Watch.
Xi has said the "supervision of the people" is needed to fight corruption.
Indeed, Li said he and other whistleblowers were encouraged when they heard officials discuss "public opinion-based oversight" of power during China's annual parliament session in March. Li said he thought that meant the government wanted the Internet to be a tool to weed out corruption. Continued...

Need help selecting a carb
Hi, I have a 1986 Monte ss witch has a 1978 gm good wrench 350 block in it for what the casting number tell me. I have on it a Stage 2 rochester pass carb q-jet from jet performance.
I recently put
edelbrock performer rmp heads,
# Thumpr Hydraulic Flat Tappet CamAdv/Dur: 279/297
# RPM Range: 1800 to 5600
# Intake/Exhaust Lift: .498/.483
lobe separation is 107
Also has a edlebrock performer intake
and it seems the carb may not be right for the application any more. seems like its running too rich at idle and to lean at wot or just goin to the road. the carb seems too complicated to re work to get it right. any one have any ideas? maybe just change the jets in it if its possible to do.
If I were you, I'd be on the phone to Jet....
alright i was gonna do that any ways, but i feel like it would be just be better to choose a different carb that's easier to change the jets and what not.
You'll likely need around 16º-18º of initial, no more than 34º-36º total all in by at least 3000 rpm and the vacuum advance adding 10º or so, connected to a manifold vacuum source.
This is ballpark, you may find that you need to modify the mechanical advance to limit the amount it adds. or you may need to limit the amount the vacuum advance adds.
The ACCEL #31035 is an adjustable vacuum advance can for GM HEI that allows infinite adjustment to BOTH the amount and rate of advance. Comes w/instructions and tool.
To limit the amount of advance w/an OEM vacuum advance can, you will need to physically limit the vac can's travel w/a VACUUM ADVANCE LIMITER PLATE- Crane #99619-1, #99619-1 INSTRUCTIONS.
DETERMINING TDC will allow you to be sure the timing tab and damper are correct for TDC.
MAKE A TIMING TAPE to see what the total timing is, w/o needing to use a dial back timing light.
You will find that the idle speed will increase using manifold vacuum- if you were using ported vacuum before. The increase in idle speed will increase the vacuum at idle, but you will still want to lower the idle speed using the curb idle screw if it's too high.
Once the timing and curb idle speed is dialed in, go back and readjust the idle mixture screws to get the best idle vacuum.
If the cam has too low of idle vacuum, the power piston spring may need to be swapped out for a lighter spring to keep the rods from enrichening the fuel/air mixture before it's needed. This is the probable cause for the idle to be too rich, if all else is as it should be- like the float level (~1/4"), the jetting should be close as well as secondary opening rate, but if not this is changed easily enough.
You might want to go through and readjust the APT setting on the power piston as a final tweak.
If you'd rather have an Edelbrock 600, I know someone who'll be happy to trade you even up. ;)

In the first grilling request conducted over the Bedoon issue, the session came as a failure for the hopes of the Bedoon community. The prime minister Sheikh Jaber Al-Mubarak Al-Sabah gave weak responses to the questions of MP Saleh Ashoor while the audience was clapping for him. Knowing that Ashoor is a Shia MP and one of the minority bloc in the parliament, the majority did not care about the cause of Bedoon that they publicly support and instead only wanted their opponents to fail in their grilling session.
The Bedoon reacted with grief over the statement of the prime minister who said that he knows the cause better than anyone else and no one should tell him what to do. They were also disappointed that the statements made by the prime minister got the audience's applause; citizens who attend parliamentary sessions. The applause was interpreted as a green light from the people for the government to keep oppressing the Bedoon. On the side, the openly-racist MP Mohammed Al-Juwaihel held a sign in the session read "no to naturalizing the Bedoon."
When showing a video of how the Bedoon protesters got tear gased, beaten, arrested, including the famous video of a woman beaten by one of the riot policemen, the MPs of the majority (who led the campaign against the former prime minister) did not react or stick to their late statement of support to the Bedoon. The community understood from today's session that all the MPs are given promises that will never be fulfilled and were shamefully standing against the cause for their own political calculations.

As a result of the partnership, the Match Fit's Academy teams will now be known as Match Fit Chelsea -- just like North Carolina's CASL program has adopted the name CASL Chelsea FC Academy for its academy teams (and the Chicago Magic is now Chicago Magic AS Monaco and the Michigan Wolves are Derby County Wolves).
"Match Fit is one of the leading youth football academies in America," said Chelsea chief executive Peter Kenyon. "Our programs will exchange information and coaching techniques, with the goal of benefiting both organizations. Chelsea are committed to advancing the game of soccer at all levels in America, including the development of young elite players for professional sport."
To kick off the new partnership, Chelsea's top academy personnel, Academy director Neil Bath and youth coach Paul Clement, are visiting Match Fit this week.
Match Fit, based in Central New Jersey, includes approximately 400 youth soccer players, girls and boys. Players hail from New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania.

Alex Salmond has accused Labour of forging a destructive alliance with the "Lord Snooties" of the Tory party to undermine the welfare system as he seeks to galvanise his party for a difficult, two-year campaign to win independence.
In a combative speech at the Scottish National party conference in Perth on Saturday, Salmond said that both Labour and the Tories had become allies in a "death-grip programme" to roll back the social and political gains of devolution.
He claimed that only independence could protect and build on those gains, which had seen Scotland introduce free care for the elderly, free prescriptions and free university places – policies now being threatened by the Tories and Labour.
In one of a series of quips at the expense of chancellor George Osborne, who on Friday was chastised for refusing to pay for a first-class train ticket, Salmond said: "Westminster would put this first-class nation in the second-class carriages. No more second best for Scotland."
The first minister, in a comparatively sober message to party activists, began his speech by conceding that the independence campaign faced a challenge in convincing a majority of Scots to support leaving the UK. He said their task was to convert support for greater devolution into support for independence.
"What we strive for as the government of a devolved Scotland, we can achieve as the government of an independent Scotland," he said. "With devolution, day after day, year after year, we can take small steps forward, when what Scotland needs is bigger, bolder strides. It is time for Scotland to move up a gear."
Earlier last week, as Salmond signed a historic deal with David Cameron in Edinburgh to hold an independence referendum in late 2014, a series of opinion polls disclosed that support for independence has slumped to about 30%, with opposition growing to 58%.
He attempted to reposition the debate about independence by staking out a claim for the votes of the majority of Scots who support greater devolution instead of independence, who would vote to increase the Scottish parliament's powers while remaining in the UK.
Salmond said the independence movement had to persuade those voters that leaving the UK would deliver those greater powers, while defending devolution and Scotland's social democratic traditions against attacks from the pro-UK parties.
Several times in his address, he sought to redefine the independence referendum as simply one step on a longer journey. "We seek independence for a reason. It is not for me. It is not for this party. It is for new opportunity for every person in Scotland watching today. Independence is about family and future. It is for a more equal Scotland, the opportunity to change our nation for good," he said.
Earlier Salmond's opponents in the pro-UK Better Together campaign had released their own polling data, gathered by YouGov, which they said showed a "lack of confidence" among supporters of independence.
The poll found that although 31% of Scots supported independence – a figure which is very close to three other negative polls on independence last week, only 16% of voters "strongly supported" independence. The remainder "tend to support" it. By contrast, 37% of the 56% of voters who opposed independence "strongly" opposed it.
Johann Lamont, the Scottish Labour leader, said Salmond was talking "nonsense" by claiming Scotland would "at a stroke be better off with independence when he knows it would push costs up".
Under Salmond's plans, an independent Scotland would allow the Bank of England to control its interest rates and monetary policy, while failing to explain how free personal care and a council tax freeze could be funded as costs escalate in future.
"This is a man who believes in cheap slogans but won't fund the policy behind them," she said. "Alex Salmond won't end the nonsense because he can't be straight with the Scottish people."

Andrew Cooper, 37, was detained after arriving on a flight to Seoul, the National Criminal Intelligence Service confirmed. An NCIS spokesman in London said that although the Derby County supporter had no banning order against him, he received a four-month prison sentence in 1999 for possessing CS gas.
Mr Cooper's criminal record was sent to the Japanese and South Korean authorities and he was advised against making the trip.
The NCIS spokesman said it showed that precautions taken by the UK authorities were working. "People without banning orders who think they can get in behind the backs of the authorities are finding out that they cannot," he said.
"British law enforcement is totally serious about making every effort to prevent known hooligans ruining the tournament for others." The spokesman added: "It is a lot of money to waste to be refused entry to countries a long way away."
Banning orders have been placed on more than 1,000 English followers convicted of football hooliganism.
The England team is in Korea ahead of the World Cup and has a warm-up game against South Korea tomorrow before moving to Japan where it plays three group games against Sweden, Argentina and Nigeria.
In a separate move to smooth relations between England fans and their nervous hosts, origami lessons are among the activities being planned in Japan ahead of the tournament which begins on 31 May. They are also being offered advice on local traditions so as not to offend their hosts.
"In Japan this is more relevant than ever because of some of the cultural differences," said Kevin Miles of England's Football Supporters' Association which is organising a soccer "embassy" to help fans find their way around the finals, jointly hosted with South Korea from 31 May.
The group is operating telephone helplines, handing out free "fanzines" with regional travel information ahead of each game and creating a virtual-soccer embassy on the internet. The point is to prevent England fans from offending their hosts, many of whom are expecting the worst.
Mr Miles said: "There are some things England fans will do which will come across as quite intimidating to the locals." He is particularly worried about boisterous behaviour, baring stomachs and showing off tattoos, which in Japan are associated with criminal gangs.
He added: "I wouldn't expect England fans to have their tattoos removed but we just want to prepare them for what the likely impact will be."
A small leaflet has been designed to advise supporters how to avoid cultural "red cards", arrest and imprisonment, as well as what to do in case of an earthquake.
For supporters with tickets to the England v Argentina game in Sapporo on 7 June, there will be alternative activities to drinking which could help to calm nerves in what may be the crunch match of the early group stage.
Mr Miles also wants to prepare the Japanese people for what lies ahead. "We want to bring to the host population a bit of an understanding about what they can expect from England football supporters," he said. "The Japanese population is fed on a diet of the same film footage from [the rioting at] Charleroi at Euro 2000."
Geoff Hurst, who scored a hat-trick for England in the 1966 World Cup final, backed the project and said that when he was playing, fans would often approach the England team for advice on activities and directions.
Hurst said: "Particularly in the 1970 World Cup in Mexico, the fans wandered around without knowing what to do and where to go and they kept asking the players."
? Some 70,000 workers are threatening to down tools in South Korea during the World Cup. The Korean Confederation of Trade Unions said health and metal workers would carry out their threat unless the government stops its crackdown on striking power workers.

Mike Wilson is a 24-year-old, Lake Tahoe-based professional skier that spends his winters searching for powder and his summers searching for things to jump off of, or as he likes to put it -- "cross training."
Explaining his quest for thrills without spills, Wilson says:
"I have a 92-year-old grandfather who is deaf and can't speak and is basically trapped in his own body. I'm way more comfortable with the thought of dying at 24 or 25 doing something rad, than being trapped in my own body, because that seems like hell to me."
Known to skydive, base jump or flip off just about anything, Wilson has established a following on his website, ShreddyTimes.com, which features a video archive of his unorthodox stunts.
His most recent release -- a Lake Tahoe rope swing -- shows him executing a 100-foot quad backflip and has garnered over 500,000 views:
Wilson says:
"I was a gymnast as a kid and I've spent my whole life jumping on trampolines and flipping and spinning, and I do flipping and spinning on skis for a living. So the base jumping, rope swings and cliff jumping is just a unique and fun way to train for skiing."
Not one to blindly respond to dares, Wilson approaches his maneuvers with professionalism and a regard for safety.
"I'm working with a FAA certified rigger who's helping me build custom parachutes and stuff like that. When you're working with people who understand flipping, spinning and air awareness it takes the danger out of it to a certain extent."

The Hearts first-team squad and PFA Scotland have submitted a formal complaint to the Scottish Premier League over unpaid wages at the club after the players' December salaries failed to arrive on schedule.
The Hearts squad experienced a delay in the delivery of their wages for the third successive month and, after instructing players' union PFA Scotland to act for them on Thursday, they have taken their fight to the authorities.
It is anticipated the matter will be discussed at Monday's SPL board meeting, where all the Clydesdale Bank Premier League clubs will be represented.
The SPL confirmed receipt of the letter in a statement.
The statement read: "The SPL received a letter from PFA Scotland this afternoon on behalf of several PFA members. This letter will be considered by the SPL Board at its meeting on Monday. No further comment will be issued at this time."
The Hearts players signed a letter of permission allowing PFA Scotland to represent them in their battle to recover their owed monies after growing tired of the ongoing uncertainty at the beleaguered club.
Wages are due on the 16th of each month, but the first delay saw their October salary received on November 4. On that occasion the intervention of manager Paulo Sergio stalled a complaint and 24 hours later payment was made.
Last week the players received a £1000 part-payment from funds generated from the loss to St Johnstone at Tynecastle and on Thursday the November salaries were paid in full - 29 days late.
However, there was no sign of further payment on Friday and PFA Scotland chief executive Fraser Wishart made formal the players' displeasure by delivering a letter of complaint to the SPL's Hampden Park offices.
Hearts director Sergejus Fedotovas, who issued a robust defence of the club's stewardship under owner Vladimir Romanov, and managing director David Southern are understood to have met the squad in an unsuccessful attempt to avert action.
