Route 110 ran daily between Twickenham Station and Hounslow Garage via Staines Road, Hospital Bridge Road, Powder Mill Lane and Hanworth Road. In 1960 it was extended from Hounslow to Cranford during Monday to Friday peak hours via Lampton, Heston and Cranford Lane. In 1963 the extension was also introduced during Saturday shopping hours, and in 1964 the Monday to Friday extension became all day. In 1966 the extension additionally was introduced on Sundays, but later that year the Sunday service was withdrawn completely, and replaced by new route 110A. In 1971 a limited Sunday afternoon service was introduced between Twickenham and Hounslow. In 1978 the Monday to Friday off-peak service was withdrawn between Hounslow and Cranford, and the Sunday service was withdrawn completely. In 1993 the Saturday service was withdrawn between Hounslow and Cranford, and in 1995 the Monday to Friday service was similarly cut back.
It is an especially interesting "E" plate as it shows SEE BELOW, which usually means the plate came from a specific bus stop served only at certain times.
Unusually, in 1974 route 111 only visited Kingston on Saturdays. As Kingston became more important as an outer London shopping centre, the bus network steadily expanded to serve the Saturday shopping-bag brigade. This plate was almost certainly made in the mid to late 1960s.
There's no doubt as to the effective date of this bus stop timetable.
In 1949 route 111 ran from Hounslow Garage to Hanworth (Brown Bear) via Hounslow High Street, Hounslow West, Vicarage Farm Road, Heston, Lampton, Kingsley Road, Hounslow Garage, Hanworth Road and Hounslow Road, with a Saturday afternoon and Sunday extension to Hammersmith (Brook Green Hotel) via Twickenham Road, Staines Road, Twickenham, Richmond, Lower Richmond Road, Chiswick Bridge and Youngs Corner. In 1951 it was withdrawn between Richmond (Sandycombe Road) and Hammersmith, replaced by route 71. In 1952 Sunday journeys were withdrawn beyond Twickenham Station. From October 1953 until May 1954 the Sunday service was withdrawn between Hanworth and Twickenham Station. The following year the route underwent a major revision: it now ran from London Airport Central to Hanworth via Harlington Corner and Cranford Lane (no longer serving Hounslow via Vicarage Farm Road), Heston, Lampton and Hanworth Road, and extended only to Richmond (Sandycombe Road) only on Saturday afternoons, the withdrawn section being covered by new route 232. In February 1956 the 111 was withdrawn between Cranford (Queens Head) and London Airport Central except for peak hours and weekends, and five months later Sunday journeys were similarly discontinued. In 1957 Saturday service followed suit. In January 1958 Saturday evening service was withdrawn between Hanworth and Richmond. Six months later Saturday afternoon journeys to Richmond were cut back to Twickenham Station, but Cranford shorts were extended from the Queens Head to Berkely Arms. In 1960 the 111 was withdrawn between Cranford and London Airport, and in 1963 the Saturday afternoon extension to Twickenham Station was withdrawn. Finally, after years of contractions, in 1964 the route was extended Monday to Friday daytime from Hanworth to Hampton via Bear Road, Swan Road, Hampton Lane, Hanworth Road, Nightingale Road, Broad Lane, Percy Road and Station Road, and further extended Saturday shopping hours to Kingston via Thames Street and Hampton Court (although it was replaced by and extended route 110 between Hounslow station and Cranford except for Monday to Friday peaks). In January 1966 the Sunday service was withdrawn, partly replaced by extending the 110 from Hounslow to Cranford. A month later the 111 replaced the 110 between Hounslow and Cranford on Monday to Friday evenings, but these journeys were withdrawn in September '68. In 1969 the route was converted to One-Man-Operation, replaced by new route 211 between Hounslow and Kingston, and reintroduced on Sundays over its entire length between Cranford and Hanworth. In 1971 the 111 replaced the 211 between Hanworth and Hampton Station Monday to Friday except evenings, then from Hampton to Kingston Saturdays except evenings. In 1975 service was expanded to run from Cranford to Hampton at all times except for Saturday shopping hours when it ran from Hounslow to Kingston. In 1978 the route was modified to run between Cranford and Kingston at all times. In 1981 it was extended from Cranford to Heathrow Airport Central via Harlington Corner. In 1982 it was diverted in Hampton via Hanworth Road, Acacia Road, Buckingham Road, The Avenue and Percy Road. Other than changing from single deckers to double deckers to minibuses than to low floor double deckers, there have been no other changes since the early '80s.
The 111 has had quite a few changes of fortune, going from a quite boring suburban back-street route to the trunk route it is today. I doubt if anybody apart from enthusiasts would ride from one end to other because there are so many alternatives from Heathrow, such as the 285 or 726. In the early fifties the Hammersmith section was odd insomuch that the Richmond-to-Chiswick section was only worked by the 111 and then weekends only, mainly to cater to the cemetery crowds at Mortlake. In the sixties the Hounslow-to-Cranford section could not make up its mind between the 110 or 111, and in fact crews operated a joint duty schedule which was unusual for that period when flexibility with duty rotas was rare.
Route 112 was the famous North Circular Road route, running from Palmers Green to Ealing Broadway via Bowes Road, North Circular Road, Finchley, Brent, Neasden, Stonebridge Park, Hanger Lane and Ealing Common, with additional service between Brent Station and Park Royal Station. During the summer of 1950 there was a Sunday extension to Hampton Court via South Ealing, Kew Bridge, Richmond, Twickenham, Teddington and Bushey Park. From 1951 through 1954 the summer Sunday extension operated via Richmond, Petersham, Ham Common and Kingston insted of Teddington. In '55 to '58 the summer Sunday extension only ran to Kew Green. During the summer of 1959 Sunday service was extended over routes 65 and 83 to London Airport (Central) via South Ealing, Great West Road, Osterly, Lampton, Vicarage Farm Road, Hounslow West Station, Cranford and Harlington Corner. In 1965 the additional service between Park Royal and Brent was withdrawn, partly replaced by new route 187A. In 1970 the 112 was withdrawn between Finchley (Henley's Corner) and Palmers Green, replaced by new route 212. In 1971 it was extended at Finchley to Manor Cottage Tavern, and converted to single deck one-person-operation. In January 1976 Monday to Saturday service was diverted via the new Brent Cross Shopping Centre, and that May the route reverted to double deck operation. In 1978 it was extended from Finchley to Palmers Green Garage, replacing the withdrawn 212. In 1981 Monday to Friday evening and Sunday service was withdrawn, and in 1987 the 112 was once again converted to single deck operation. In 1988 operation was transferred to Pan Atlas Ltd. with Leyland Lynx buses. In 1990 it was extended from Palmers Green to Wood Green via the 29, and rerouted at New Southgate via Station Road, Friern Barnet Road and Bowes Road instead of Telford Road, and rerouted to double run via Arnos Grove Station, so it now ran from Ealing Broadway to Brent Cross, via Hanger Lane, Stonebridge Park and Neasden, with a daytime extension to Wood Green (Redvers Road) via Finchley, Arnos Grove and Palmers Green. In 1994 it was withdrawn between Brent Cross and Palmers Green, replaced by the new 232, and operations were reassigned to R&I Coaches. A Sunday service was reintroduced in 1996. From 2004 Telling Golden Miller has operated the route.
This "E" plate is unusual as the rear of it is black. The back of most other plates are generally the same colour as the background of the face.
This FARE STAGE plate could have come from the Brent Cross Shopping Centre diversion.
This leaflet was distributed in 1971 to familiarize riders with the new one-person-operated SMS-type single-deck buses introduced on the 112 on 15 May 1971.
|← These two Sunday "E" plates are more than years old, as the Sunday-only extensions of the 112 ceased running in 1959.
This plate would probably have come from the bus stop at Brent Cross Shopping Centre where, for a while, there was an additional service towards Edgware. It is extremely rare, like most destinated plates, but it is particularly difficult to find plates for this route, possibly because it had a long strech of solo road along Watford Way with bus stops that did not carry "E" plates.
It is very unusual to find a plate that bears both a destination and days of the week. Having said that, I don't know where this plate would have come from, although there may have been some journeys in the 1980s that ran from Edgware Station to the Brent Cross Shopping Centre.
These two "E" plates are examples from the period when Saturday was often shown in red.
Latterly, the use of red for Saturday services was discontinued.
Route 113 ran daily between Oxford Circus and Edgware Station via Oxford Street, Baker Street, St. John's Wood, Swiss Cottage, Finchley Road, Hendon Way, Hendon Central, Watford Way and Edgwarebury Lane. In 1969 it was withdrawn on Sundays between Swiss Cottage and Oxford Circus, but re-extended there in 1975. In 1976 an additional service was introduced on Mondays to Saturdays between Edgware Station and Brent Cross (Shopping Centre). In 1985 the additional service to Brent Cross was withdrawn and replaced by route 186, and the service between Mill Hill (Apex Corner) and Edgware was withdrawn between the peaks on Mondays to Fridays and during the day on Saturdays, alhough this was reinstated to run at all times in 1987.
In 1931 route 114 ran daily between Northold Station and Edgware Station via Northolt Road, South Harrow, Bessborough Road, Harrow-on-the-Hill, Wealdstone, Harrow Weald, Stanmore and Canons Park, with a rush hours extension to Mill Hill (Green Man). By 1934 it had been withdrawn between Northold Station and South Harrow, but ran daily to Mill Hill. By 1938 it had been extended from South Harrow to Rayners Lane via Eastcote Lane and Kings Road, but withdrawn between Edgware Station and Mill Hill. In 1957 the 114 was rerouted via Porlock Avenue between South Harrow and Harrow-on-the-Hill, but in 1966 reverted back to its original routeing. At the same time it was diverted at Eastcote Lane to and extended to Ruislip Lido via Victoria Road, South Ruislip and Ruislip Manor, replacing route 158 which now provided the withdrawn service between South Harrow and Rayners Lane. In 1970 the 114 was withdrawn between Harrow Weald Garage and Edgware except for certain peak hour school journeys to Harrow Weald (Masefield Avenue), being replaced by new route 286. In 1971 the route diverted back to Porlock Avenue, was converted to single-deck one-person-operation, and late evening service was withdrawn between Ruislip Station and Ruislip Lido. In 1972 some Monday to Saturday journeys were diverted from Porlock Avenue to Lower Road and Bessborough Road. Yellow blinds were used to distinguish these journeys. These journeys were withdrawn in 1978, replaced by a revised route 258. In 1983 the 114 replaced the withdrawn section of route 140 and was extended from Harrow Weald to Mill Hill Broadway Station via Kenton, Queensbury and Burnt Oak, with some Monday to Friday peak hour journeys extended to Mill Hill East Station via Bunns Lane. In 1987 it was replaced on Monday to Friday between Ruislip Station and Ruislip Lido by new route H13. In 1991 the peak hour extension to Mill Hill East was withdrawn, and operation was tendered to BTS. In 1995 the Sunday service to Ruislip Lido was withdrawn. In 2000 operation was transferred to Sovereign, and thence to London United in 2002.
This is one of the plastic plates which superseded the enamel ones and vinyl stickers. This type of plate has a fitting on the back which fits into a kind of keyhole mounting on the bus stop flag.
During May 1948, route 115 ran between Wallington Belmont Road and Croydon Airport, via Manor Road, Hackbridge Corner, Mitcham, Streatham Road, Mitcham Road, Streatham, Norbury, Thornton Heath and Purley Way. During October 1950, route 115 was extended beyond Croydon Airport to Whytleleafe via Purley, Kenley and Godstone Road. During November 1964 and December 1966, parts of the route were replaced by new services 115A and 115B. The route was withdrawn in April 1981.
The current route 115 operates between Aldgate and East Ham via Limehouse, Poplar, Canning Town, Barking Road and Upton Park.
Route 115A was introduced in 1964 running on Sundays only between Wallington (Belmont Road) and Croydon Airport via Carshalton Station, Hackbridge, Mitcham, Streatham, Thornton Heath Pond and Purley Way. It replaced part of route 115 on this day, and also the withdrawn section of route 44. Originally operated by RT buses from Thornton Heath Garage [TH], it was converted to Routemaster operation the following year, then to one-person-operated SM single-deckers in 1971. In 1972 a Saturday service was introduced, with some journeys extended from Croydon Airport to Purley, replacing route 115 on this day. In 1978 the service was renumbered back to 115, and the route was finally withdrawn in April 1981.
This "E" plate dates from the Saturday and Sunday operation between 1972 and 1978.

Overview | Academics | Cost | Location | Life Abroad | Student Voices | Apply
A visa is not required for U.S. citizens for this program. U.S. citizens must have a U.S. passport valid for at least six months beyond the end of the program. The on-site staff will assist in getting students the proper documentation to remain in-country for the duration of the program.
Learn about Moroccan culture and society while studying Arabic language and culture in the historic city of Fez. This intensive Arabic language program offers the option to study for a semester, academic year, for one of two 6-week summer sessions, or for an intensive 9-week summer session. You will have the opportunity to explore madrasas, fondouks, palaces and 13th century ruins while living with warm and welcoming host families. Arabic language learning is the focus of this program. Weekend excursions provide you with opportunities to travel to the imperial city of Meknes, the capital city of Rabat, the hypnotizing markets of Marrakesh and the Sahara desert. Fez is the fourth largest city in Morocco and is located along the Atlas mountains. Fez's medina, declared a UNESCO world heritage site in 1981, is one of the largest and most enduring Medieval Islamic settlements in the world.
Fez was the capital of Morocco for more than 400 years, is home to the oldest university in the country and is the leading cultural and spiritual center. Fez is also the home of the oldest and largest medieval city in the world where the hustle and bustle of the dried fruit, leather, ceramics, textiles and food markets can overwhelm the senses.
"It was extremely culturally enriching, especially living in Fes as opposed to a major tourist city. On a daily basis, I was forced to be totally submersed in the culture, living as a local.""I will never forget the experiences I had in such amazing places as the Sahara and in the Rif Mountains."

- Rare disease designations
Orphan designation
On 4 August 2010, orphan designation (EU/3/10/766) was granted by the European Commission to Æterna Zentaris GmbH, Germany, for Pyr-His-Trp-Ser-Tyr-D-Lys(doxorubicinylglutarate)-Leu-Arg-Pro-Gly-NH2, acetate salt for the treatment of ovarian cancer.
- What is ovarian cancer?
Ovarian cancer is cancer of the ovaries (two organs in the female reproductive system that produce eggs). Most ovarian cancers occur in women over the age of 50 years. Due to the absence of symptoms in the early stages of the disease, the majority of patients are diagnosed when the cancer has spread locally or to other parts of the body.
Ovarian cancer is a life-threatening disease that is associated with poor long-term survival.
- What is the estimated number of patients affected by the condition?
At the time of designation, ovarian cancer affected approximately 3 in 10,000 people in the European Union (EU)*. This is equivalent to a total of around 152,000 people, and is below the threshold for orphan designation, which is 5 people in 10,000. This is based on the information provided by the sponsor and the knowledge of the Committee for Orphan Medicinal Products (COMP).
*Disclaimer: For the purpose of the designation, the number of patients affected by the condition is estimated and assessed on the basis of data from the European Union (EU 27), Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein. This represents a population of 506,500,000 (Eurostat 2010).
- What treatments are available?
At the time of designation, several medicines were authorised in the EU for the treatment of ovarian cancer. The choice of treatment depended mainly on how advanced the disease was. Treatments included surgery and chemotherapy (medicines to treat cancer).
The sponsor has provided sufficient information to show that Pyr-His-Trp-Ser-Tyr-D-Lys(doxorubicinylglutarate)-Leu-Arg-Pro-Gly-NH2 might be of significant benefit for patients with ovarian cancer because it works in a different way to existing treatments, and early studies indicate that it might improve the treatment of patients with this condition, particularly patients who do not respond to existing treatments. This assumption will need to be confirmed at the time of marketing authorisation, in order to maintain the orphan status.
- How is this medicine expected to work?
Pyr-His-Trp-Ser-Tyr-D-Lys(doxorubicinylglutarate)-Leu-Arg-Pro-Gly-NH2 is made of doxorubicin, a cytotoxic (cell-killing) agent, chemically attached to a modified form of a natural hormone, called luteinising hormone releasing hormone (LHRH, also known as gonadotropin releasing hormone, GnRH). The medicine is expected to work by attaching to the LHRH receptor, which is present on the surface of most ovarian cancer cells. Once attached, the doxorubicin is expected to kill the cancer cells, slowing down the growth and spread of the cancer.
- What is the stage of development of this medicine?
The effects of the medicine have been evaluated in experimental models.
At the time of submission of the application for orphan designation, clinical trials with Pyr-His-Trp-Ser-Tyr-D-Lys(doxorubicinylglutarate)-Leu-Arg-Pro-Gly-NH2 in patients with ovarian cancer were ongoing.
At the time of submission, this medicine was not authorised anywhere in the EU for ovarian cancer. Orphan designation of the medicine had been granted in the United States of America for this condition.
In accordance with Regulation (EC) No 141/2000 of 16 December 1999, the COMP adopted a positive opinion on 6 May 2010 recommending the granting of this designation.
- Opinions on orphan medicinal product designations are based on the following three criteria:
- the seriousness of the condition;
- the existence of alternative methods of diagnosis, prevention or treatment;
- either the rarity of the condition (affecting not more than 5 in 10,000 people in the EU) or insufficient returns on investment.
Designated orphan medicinal products are products that are still under investigation and are considered for orphan designation on the basis of potential activity. An orphan designation is not a marketing authorisation. As a consequence, demonstration of quality, safety and efficacy is necessary before a product can be granted a marketing authorisation.

What do you all use for carrying, IWB and OWB?
My wife is going to need some on person carry methods coming up soon.
She is 5 foot even and 110#, has the hour glass figure, so any comments of what your using would be awesome.
Guys chime in with what your wives might be using as well.
The firearm is a GLOCK 26.
Thinking going to order her up a lefty Sparks Axiom for Christmas as well.
I have seen some of the custom makers have models geared towards the ladies, so anyone have those, that feedback would be great as well.
Thanks :wave:

The Daily Grind, Bangsar, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
The Daily Grind has a great menu of gourmet burgers all served with crispy fries, salad and made on multi-grain buns. Hubby prefers the more traditional style burger but I loved their chicken burger with caramelized onions, figs, brie, toasted walnuts and rocket. Their homemade chili and tomato sauces are a nice touch too. Prices range from 23RM for a classic to 55RM for a gourmet foi gras burger. We've also tried breakfast here. It's not a bad place for some weekend pancakes or French toast. Just be sure to ask for the butter to be served on the side or you end up with half a tub directly on top of your meal. (see pics above). The stack of three buttermilk pancakes were light and fluffy served with bananas and syrup. The French toast was also good, made with thick slices of multi-grain bread. I'm not sure what they were attempting though as the toast was cinnamony but served with turkey ham on the side - for me an uncomfortable pair up of sweet and savoury. Brunch on the weekends range from 18 - 28RM including a juice, tea or coffee. Their coffee is strong and drinkable but not my preferred blend. I'd skip the coffee and go across the road to Buffalo Kitchens for a creative brew.

Mandarin Grill, Mandarin Oriental, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
The Mandarin Oriental's Grill & Bar offers an exquisite dining experience. From the moment you walk in you know the food and service are going to be amazing. This place looks, sounds and smells divine. Floor to ceiling windows looking out onto a green garden, soft ambience music in the background and the faint smell of aromatherapy oils put you in the mood for a peaceful and enjoyable afternoon. The best deal is their two or three course set lunch served Monday to Saturday for 88++ or 108++ RM respectively. Sounds a bit pricey but if you have the Mandarin's Elite card you get 50% off when dining for two. You start the set with a selection of freshly baked crusty breads - pretzel, cranberry walnut and multi grain - served with olive and salted butters. Follow up with a starter of your choice. We tried the creamy pumpkin veloute (sweet & creamy) and a melt-in-your mouth soft mozzarella and tomato salad with a perfect pesto and aged balsamic vinegar dressing on a base of tomato jelly. For the main I highly recommend the seared red snapper served on a delicate vegetable tian with star anise cream sauce and a braised fennel wafer. The grilled chicken breast with wild mushrooms, potatoes and rosemary jus was flavoursome but a little dry. For dessert you can't go wrong with the farm house cheeses. The French brie they serve is one of the creamiest I've tried. I would even venture to say it's as good as Tasmanian double cream brie from Australia. Finish off with great coffee or tea and you'll be a very satisfied customer.

Pho 24, Old Quarter, Hanoi, Vietnam
I tried a lot of the national dish, pho bo - beef noodle soup, in Vietnam. While I loved the freshness and simpleness of the dish, I often found it lacking taste. Pho 24 was a very pleasant surprise. This chain of noodle soup restaurants makes a delicious pho bo. I think the key is the plate full of fresh herbs and lime you can add to your soup that come on the side. There are a number of outlets around the city but this one in Thi Sach street is particularly worth a visit as you can sit at the window and enjoy the lake view. Soup is between 38 000 and 45 000 Dong per serving.

Green Mango, Old Quarter, Hanoi, Vietnam
Elude the bedlam of the Old Quarter in Hanoi and make your way to the elegant setting of Green Mango. Watch the crowd go by in the front room with floor to ceiling glass windows, take a seat at the bar or find some peace in the garden out back. This restaurant goes above and beyond what you would expect of any establishment. Convicted to live with the unruliness of Hanoi and still do their best, they served us happily through three hours of blackout by lighting candles and keeping their menu running with what could be made on the gas stove top. Despite having to overcome a seemingly unending disruption of power they still managed to serve up some delicious western dishes and perfectly chilled wine. Happy hours are from 4 - 6pm where you can get a reasonable wine served at the right temperature in a two for one deal. Both Italian and local cuisine are on the menu. Risotto, gnocchi and salads were all delectable. Worth a special mention though is the scrumptious passionfruit dressing on their garden salad. I'll be back.

Baguettes et Chocolate, Sapa, Vietnam
Again I note that it was difficult finding memorable food in Sapa. Baguettes et Chocolate has a reasonable menu and makes The Yum List as I think it's worth supporting their noble cause of training disadvantaged children to provide them with the skills to set themselves up for a decent future. This cafe is another cosy and bright haven from the damp muddiness of the Sapa streets and a welcome find to pass a few hours reading or chatting while waiting for the cloud to lift.

Sapa Rooms Boutique Hotel, Sapa, Vietnam
Finding great food in Sapa was difficult. I found most places we tried at best bland. Sapa Rooms Boutique Hotel however does have a reasonable menu. Not everything on it is extremely tasty but there are a few staples that are worth coming for. Homemade yoghurt with fresh fruit, Lavazza coffee (a welcome break) and flavourful salads (pumpkin and banana flower - two popular choices) deserve your Dong. I highly recommend skipping the below average breakfast offered at most hotels and head to Sapa Rooms Boutique Hotel for some thick French toast served with caramelized bananas, sapa honey and fresh passionfruit or the lemon souffle cakes - light citrus pancakes with fresh fruit. Food served has no MSG, makes use of many local ingredients and there are some organic options too. Sapa Rooms Boutique Hotel is also involved in lots of community projects and seems to have a general motto of "do good." It is a welcoming place to pass the afternoon happily escaping the endless parade of vendors and dampness of the outdoors. Cosy, clean and well put together, Sapa Rooms Boutique Hotel's restaurant is a pleasing retreat.

"This book, with Scott's enthusiasm and clear writing style, offers a refreshing approach to introductory plant biology. Recommended." (CHOICE, March 2009)
"Author Peter Scott's approach is to present basic concepts of plant physiology and development in an enthusiastic and engaging manner. Hence, he tries to use his passion for his subject to be an effective teacher, and his enthusiasm is evident throughout the book. One of the clear strengths of this book are the high quality color diagrams. I enjoyed reading … and came away with good ideas for new approaches to teaching topics in plant biology. The book could be useful in a number of courses in botany and plant biology at the freshman and sophomore level." (Plant Science Bulletin, Winter 2008)

The Blackhawk has adjustable sights and the Vaquero has fixed sights.
The only Beretta I own is a semi-automatic pistol and I don't own any Uberti's.
Personally, I would stick with Rugers and here's why. Not too long ago the end of the base pin on my Single Six broke. I called Ruger prepared to give them the date it was purchased, where, the serial number, etc. When I explained what happened, all they wanted to know was my name and address so they would know where to send the replacement!
Before that happened, I was looking for a .357 Magnum and looked at the Beretta Stampede, Uberti Cattelman and other brands in that price range, but based on that experience with my Single Six, I bought a Blackhawk. End of story!

Pick Your Insanity Test
Here's my followup to the post I started yesterday.
If the insanity defense were reformed (again), you'd have to decide which new legal test you'd use. A legal "test" is a written definition or standard. In general, there are two insanity tests in common use: the ALI test and various derivations of the McNaughton test. The McNaughton test states that a defendant is insane if he is unable to understand the nature or quality of the act, or---if he did understand the nature of his actions---that he didn't understand that they were wrong. In 1955 the American Law Institute (A.L.I.) wrote the Model Penal Code in an effort to make criminal laws uniform across the country. The Model Penal Code's insanity test, also called the ALI test, states that a defendant is insane if he "lacks substantial capacity to appreciate the criminality of one's conduct or to conform one's conduct to the requirements of the law". It has two parts, a cognitive standard and a volitional or behavioral standard.
Here is a link I posted last year to a state-by-state break down of insanity standards. It's a little out of date; Kansas is listed as using the McNaughton test but they have since abolished the insanity defense.
Frontline did a nice series a while ago about the insanity defense and they have a summary of the historical tests here.

By Chris Harris
Aaron Ramsey is closing on a first-team comeback but Arsène Wenger will not take any chances with the Wales midfielder's fitness following his long lay-off.
The 20-year-old was sidelined for eight months after breaking his leg at Stoke City last February but has made steady progress since returning in a Reserve League match in mid-November.
Ramsey went on loan to Nottingham Forest and, though frustrated by three postponements, completed 90 minutes for the Championship side on January 3. Five days later he was back in Wenger's squad for the FA Cup tie with Leeds but is still waiting to step onto the pitch in an Arsenal shirt.
"[He will play] when he is match fit," Wenger told Arsenal.com.
"He is getting better and better every day so we have to be a bit patient. And worst, he will have to be a bit patient. He has been out for nine months, the most important thing now is not to have any new injuries or setbacks while he is recovering.
"His progress is encouraging but it's very difficult to say when I will play him.
"He had a setback because he did not have the number of games we expected him to get at Nottingham Forest. It was a very troubled period with a lot of snow and missing games and training. Now he looks better and better every day."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Note: The Alternative Consolidation Loan will be discontinued June 30, 2017. Learn more about our new Refi Loan, which allows you to consolidate ACPE, federal, and other private loans, here.
The Alternative Consolidation Loan allows students to consolidate current ACPE alternative student loans into a single fixed-rate loan. Depending on when you took out your alternative loans, the interest rates you are now paying may be less than the consolidation interest rate. Compare the terms and interest rates of your current loans with the consolidation interest rate before deciding if consolidation is right for you. The following rates and benefits are for the 2016-2017 academic year, effective July 1, 2016.
6.25% (6.25% APR) fixed interest rates
Rates as low as 6.00% with borrower benefits
0.25% automatic payment reduction
A balance based repayment term, 10 or 15 years depending on your consolidated balance
Be a U.S. citizen or eligible non-citizen and Alaska resident
Have two or more alternative loans with ACPE
Have a minimum of $3,500 of eligible debt to consolidate
Be less than 60 days past due on any loan you wish to consolidate
Meet credit and other requirements
Download a paper application
Sign your loan documents and mail them to ACPE
You're done!
The Alternative Consolidation Loan has a fixed interest rate of 6.25% (6.25% APR). This means the base interest rate of 6.25% is not subject to change; however, it may be reduced by Borrower Benefits. APR stands for the Annual Percentage Rate and is the yearly cost of borrowing your loan, shown as a percent of the amount you borrowed. The APR referenced above is an example and assumes a principal loan amount of $10,000 and a repayment term of 10 years. Learn more about APR. The interest rate and APR do not factor in any reductions due to borrower benefits.
Borrower Benefits are applied as quarterly or annual account credits or rate reductions to reduce the borrower-paid loan costs whenever the Alaska Student Loan Corporation (ASLC) has the capacity to do so. Benefits are variable, meaning that a new benefits package may be offered each program year. Borrowers who are delinquent or default on their loans may forfeit some or all benefits. For a complete list of benefits, see our borrower benefits chart.
► 2016-2017 Benefits: 0.25% Auto Pay
To qualify for the Alternative Consolidation Loan, you must have a FICO score of at least 680 or have made payments in full and on time for the 18 months preceding the consolidation loan application. Visit our Understanding Credit page to learn more about FICO scores, credit reports, and establishing good credit.
Repayment will begin no later than 30 days from the date the consolidation loan is originated. The standard repayment period is ten years; however, ACPE will extend the period of repayment for up to five years if the amount of your loan exceeds $30,000. This option permanently reduces the required monthly payment amount, but results in higher finance charges over the life of the loan. You must contact ACPE if you wish to pay your loan within a shorter term. Your monthly payment will be based on your total debt, subject to a minimum payment of $100.00 a month.
Consolidating existing loans and entering into a new loan contract means that the terms and conditions of the loans being consolidated are no longer applicable. The consolidation loan terms do not provide any forgiveness or interest-free deferment periods. It's important that you review the terms and conditions of yor existing loans and of the consolidation loan carefully. Learn more about repayment plans, payment methods, and repayment assistance.

Ghoulie Manor Haunted House [VIDEO] [PICS]
What a great time I had at Ghoulie Manor at the Silver City Galleria in Taunton! This place is unbelievable. Victor, the owner, showed me some behind the scenes stuff involved with making the Ghoulie Manor, and I must say they did a phenomenal job.
One complaint that I've always had with haunted houses is the part where you can't see anything. It's just dark, and you bump into walls, and you don't know where you're going. It's takes you out of the experience I think. As soon as you start worrying about your safety, it's no longer fun. That doesn't happen at Ghoulie Manor. RIght when you walk in, youu get sucked into a world of scary fun, and you're not bumping into stuff in the dark. The detail that Victor and his team have spent on making the Ghoulie Manor as real as possible has to be seen to be believed.
So if you're looking for something to do tonight, head to the Ghoulie Manor, located right behind the Silver City Galleria near the Regal Cinemas entrance. Don't forget to check them out on "The American Scream" coming up on October 28th at 8pm on the Chiller TV network. They beat out 400 haunted houses to get the honor of being featured. Make sure you experience the Ghoulie Manor this Halloween season and get your Half-Price Hookup! 2 tickets for the price of one! Enjoy the pictures and the videos!

I've spent the last few months trying to figure out what .308 battle rifle would be the best buy to go along with my savage bolt action in .308. It seems like the low end would be CEMTE's, with some of the FAL reproductions being a bit more. Then at about 1000-1200 bucks basic AR-10s and the standard M1A. I realize the sky is about the limit on how much I could spend on a .308 battle rifle, but I'm trying to stay under 1500.
One thing about the AR-10 and M1A, is I'd most likely want to go for higher end models, and then be needing to put optics on them, meaning more money. But if anyone has any input on their favorite .308 battle rifle and is willing to share I'd appreciate it.

iWatch is all most markets and media outlets are talking about these days because wearables are new and every short-attention-span junky in the world wants Apple to do something new. But what if, instead of an iWatch, Apple went with an iRing?
More →
Craig Hockenberry of the Iconfactory, Rob Rhyne of Martian Craft, and Luc Vandal of Edovia talk to Guy and Rene about a lot of stuff not even vaguely related to iOS 7. And a bit that is.
It sounds like OS X Mavericks, which could launch any week now, introduces some changes to code-signing that developers will find frustrating if they're not up to speed on them. Craig Hockenberry on Furbo.org:
The emergency alert system in iOS is meant to save lives, either the lives of children with the AMBER Alert system, or lives in general with natural disaster warnings. However, not all alerts are created equally, and unfortunately, not all iOS alerts are as informative or interactive as they need to be. Craig Hockenberry has broken down the problems with the AMBER alert received by many Californian's last night. From Furbo:
Last week the word "tweet" was added to the Oxford English Dictionary. Craig Hockenberry, a principle of the Iconfactory, co-creator of Twitterrific, and iMore hall of famer, gave some background as to its origins on his blog, Furbo.org:
Guy and Rene talk to the Iconfactory's Craig Hockenberry and Sean Heber about Twitterrific 5, the early days of the iPhone, Chameleon, beefs with nibs, underscores, colons, and ternary operators, App Store realities, and the importance of blame avoidance optimization.
Twitterrific was the first native social networking client on the iPhone. Created by Craig Hockenberry and Gedeon Maheux of the Iconfactory, it began as the Mobile Twitterrific project in August of 2007, only two short months after the original iPhone shipped, and well before Apple announced even the plan for an official SDK. Development started "in the open", with a proof-of-concept made available on Google Project Hosting.
The bits of Twitterrific 5 were programed by Sean Heber and Craig Hockenberry, and Hockenberry has now shared the details of that work, and a behind-the-scenes look at the project in general, on his blog, Furbo.org. Hockenberry talks about the process, and the reason they chose to leave certain features out, like push notifications, trends, and streaming:
The godfather of iOS development, Craig Hockenberry wondered out loud on Twitter about just why Apple would change the iPad's hardware orientation lock to a mute switch in iOS 4.2, and if it could be related to future, FaceTime-equipped iPad 2 hardware:
When (not if) an iPad has FaceTime, will silencing the alerts be more important than orientation? Depends on the person and how they use it…
When (not if) an iPad has FaceTime, will silencing the alerts be more important than orientation? Depends on the person and how they use it…
Twitterrific is the grandaddy of iOS Twitter clients -- it existed on the iPhone before there was an SDK and was in the App Store on launch day, and again for iPad launch. Twitterrific has evolved from a reader-centric experience to a feature-full client and back to a highly focused app.
Craig Hockenberry, a principle at Iconfactory, the driving force behind Twitterrific, spoke to me at WWDC 2010 about getting Twitterrific ready for the iPad and how that process re-informed what will be going into (and perhaps coming out of) Twitterrific 3.0 for iPhone.
And no, Tweetie becoming the free Twitter for iPhone isn't slowing them down. (You can read more on that from Craig and Iconfactory collaborators David Lanham and Ged Maheux)
Hockenberry has also taken a turn as author, with his iPhone App Development: The Missing Manual now available from O'Reilly. It takes you through the process, from SDK signup to Xcode and Objective-C, to deploying an app. It's a treasure-trove of experience and insight for developers -- aspiring and veteran alike.
Videos after the break. (Huge apologies to everyone, especially Craig, for the annoying wind noise -- I greatly underestimated it during filming)

Asexuality.(35 Posts)
I think that I'm probably asexual. I've not had sex for over 8 years, and I hope never to have it again. I've not enjoyed what I have had.
I do get crushes on people (mostly characters from TV shows), but my infatuation never extends to sex. I don't even like kissing; the most intimacy I want is hugging/being held.
I guess what I'm asking is, has anyone managed an asexual relationship? I'm lonely, but I know that I can't bear to have sex, so I can't have a conventional relationship. I do have mental health issues that mean that having a relationship right now isn't feasible, but it is something that plays on my mind a lot, and I think I would like to have a relationship at some point.
I don't have children. Thank you if you've read this.
I don't know much about asexuality unfortunately but have you had a look at this asexuality forum? There are questions like yours and quite a few replies.
Do you want to be asexual? Or do you want to have a normal physical relationship with someone at some point?
Thank you both.
I know it sounds ridiculous, but I have social anxiety, and using new forums panics me. I know it's stupid since there's no real interaction, but I always stick to this forum and one other, because I feel more secure here. But, I've bookmarked it and I'll try lurking there when I'm having a better day.
I don't know if I want to be asexual. I think in an ideal world, I'd have a normal, happy relationship because I wouldn't feel this way. I don't think I could do it in actuality though, there is no way I could make myself have sex on any kind of regular basis. I'm not in a position currently to have friendships or a relationship, I don't even know if I ever will be. I think it just makes me a bit sad that I'll never that normal relationship with someone.
No idea if I'm making sense, this is all hard to explain. Thank you both for replying to me.
I think you need to work out if you are genuinely asexual, or whether you simply fear emotional intimacy.
Asexual people can be extremely emotionally intimate with people without having the sexual attraction. Do you fear becoming close to people? Being vulnerable?
Thank you for replying.
It's kind of hard to say whether I fear being close to people, because I know that the social anxiety/general anxiety does cloud how I feel. I've always been very private, and I don't like people knowing how I feel.
It's definitely something to think about. I think that the emotional aspect of a relationship is something that I could learn to do; it doesn't scare or worry me by itself.
IME the emotional/intimate aspect of a relationship is most unscary and at its easiest when it's the right person. That applies to everyone whether they have social anxiety or not. If you feel uncomfortable with someone chances are it's not you, it's them. So in your case the right person would be someone kind that understood your concerns, respected your privacy and loved you enough to be patient. I also wonder if you fear intimacy rather than you are asexual.
I don't know if you are mixing up 'asexual' and 'celibate'. Asexual people do not experience desire or urges at all, they have never had sex and it does not bother them. Celibate people are not being sexual through choice/illness/trust issues etc. due to past experience.
I am celibate through choice and happy with it, for various reasons. However I have a very close friendship [with someone else who is celibate for a reason] which gives me closeness, some company and a feeling of connection.
What would be your ideal scenario, when you are/feel better? Because I believe there is someone for everyone no matter what the situation.
Thank you both.
I don't think I fear intimacy. I just don't always like people touching me, and I definitely don't like it when that touch is sexual. Maybe I do and I just don't realise it.
I had to look up the difference between celibacy and asexuality, but I think that asexuality seems closer to how I feel. I'm not sure at all though, I find this all quite confusing. Asexuals can have sex, it's just that they don't feel any desire to. Which is how I feel, I've only had sex a handful of times but I've never actually wanted to, or felt any physical desire/need to. I realise that sounds bad, but none of the sex was non-consensual, I just didn't want it.
I don't have sex through choice (and circumstances, but ignoring those), but I've made that choice because I have no desire for sex and I don't like it. Does that make sense?
My ideal situation would be to have a relationship where there was no touching beyond the occasional hug, definitely no sexual contact or discussion. The thought of having to have sex at some point in the future makes me want to cry. I suppose it's all moot since there's no-one tolerant enough to put up with all that.
I'm going to ask a very personal question and you really don't have to answer. You say you get crushes on people which suggests that you can experience sexual attraction. Are you ever conscious of more physical sexual stimulation? Would you ever masturbate, for example?
I think I'm probably using the word "crush" wrongly.
They're never on real people that I actually know; always on TV/movie characters, or someone in a book. It's not about their looks, it's much more of a personality thing. I think it's more of an emotional attraction, than a physical one. Beyond thinking someone has "nice eyes" or "great hair", I don't tend to think about the actual physical appearance of the person. It's never a sexual attraction, I've never looked at someone and thought "I'd like to have sex with them".
There isn't really a way to explain it without sounding like a total loon (well, more of one than I already do).
I tried masturbation when I was younger, mostly because I thought that it was what I should be doing. I never really understood the point of it. I can experience an orgasm, which is fine, but it's ultimately rather pointless and isn't something that I crave. Without wanting to be too graphic, I really don't like the feeling of penetration. It's not painful, but it's very very far from pleasant.
Thank you for replying to me again.
I know that psychosexual therapists work with asexuality, is this something you might consider?
Not work with it as in treating it as a disorder to be 'cured' but just exploring it and what it's meaning is for you.
There are asexual dating websites, maybe have a google and see how it feels to chat on their forums? I think it may help
I believe there are forums and a whole 'subculture' which would mean you are able to chat to Luke minded people. I think you might find there are plenty of people in your position who have the same questions hanging over their seriality and the same desire to find companionship and intimacy without sex. So I reckon it would be a great idea to explore that once you feel able.
If this is how you feel then that's fine! Never ever force yourself to do or be anything which doesn't sit right with you. You don't even have to put a label in your seriality if you don't want to although I would say be wary of entering into relationships with anyone who you think might crave the physical elements you don't.
*like minded. Not sure who this Luke fella is.
*sexuality. fuck you autocorrect!
Sorry OP. Must read before posting.
I don't think it's quite true that to be asexual you must never have had sex. I used to lurk on AVEN quite a lot (it's very welcoming and understanding of things like social anxiety, by the way) and it's seen on there as being very similar to a sexual orientation. You wouldn't say that a gay person can't be gay if they've ever had heterosexual sex.
As well as this, the notion of asexuality is so invisible in general life/society that it can be quite a common experience for an asexual person to almost con themselves into thinking that they are feeling sexual desire or force themselves to try it because they think that everyone else feels the same way as they do and "that's just what you do".
I know this would be difficult with the social anxiety side of things but if you're anywhere near Coventry there is a great asexuality support/discussion group based at Warwick University. I know some of the members post on AVEN so if you ended up feeling comfortable on there that might be a way, eventually, of meeting people.
It sounds like your aversion to sex is just one element of a much bigger problem area with relationships, intimacy and generally interacting with other people, to be honest. You say you're "not in a position to have friendships" which is terribly sad. What help are you getting?
Thank you all for replying.
I've tried therapy in the past for other things, and it's not something that I'm willing to try again. I've found it to be quite damaging; I am truly horrible at talking about my feelings etc, and therapy makes me feel very vulnerable and unsafe.
I'll have a look for asexual dating websites/forums. It's not something I can do at the minute, but it's definitely something that I can look into. It never occurred to me that asexuals would date! I've never actually been on a date, but I'd always assumed that the end goal of a date was sex. Or a relationship in which sex was a part.
I'm definitely wary about going into a relationship with someone who is interested in sex. Mostly because it wouldn't be fair on them in the slightest.
The main reason I had sex is because I felt like I should, like it was an obligation and it was the 'normal' thing to do. It never occurred to me that I could just not do it. I'm not anywhere near Coventry, but group things are definitely not something I could manage at the minute. I'll bear the AVEN forum in mind though. I get really anxious when I try new forums (daft, since I'm just as anon there as I am here), so I need to be a bit more comfortable than I am currently.
The main reason I'm not in a position to have friendships is because of the mental health issues that I'm having (though my personality is an influence too). Being in contact with people is really anxiety-provoking for me, I'm far better online than IRL (though it still takes me an age to type posts because I get anxious over the tiniest things). It's never really occurred to me that I needed help with the way I feel about sex, I've always just thought that it's just how I am and it's not something 'fixable'.
Sorry, this was all rather rambly. I've tried to reply to the points everyone's made but I'm sorry if I've missed anything. Thank you all for talking to me.
AVEN is great to lurk on, anyway I found it fantastic and enlightening. That's the asexuality.org that I think some people mentioned above. They also have cake it came from an ancient thread when people said they felt like when they said "I don't like sex" it was like somebody saying "I don't like cake" and how everyone is like What's wrong with you, you don't like cake?! How can you live without cake!! Well what about this kind of cake? Oh, don't worry honey. I never liked cake until I tried this kind of cake, and now I realise I was wrong all along! One day you'll find the right recipe for you. etc etc
They are a nice bunch. And the threads are fascinating to read even if you don't post. It's very small (but has been going for a long time) so you can read a lot without getting lost.
Doesn't like cake!!!!!! that IS impossible!
That cake analogy is excellent.
I read a thread on the AVEN site (well, I read about half of it whilst behind a proxy, which counts as bravery in my book) in which there were some people who classed themselves as asexual, but still had sex with their partners. I know they obviously don't speak for everyone, but I can't imagine anything more awful. There was talk of sex-repulsion, which is probably the closest description to how I feel, yet still going through with having sex.
So, probably not the best thread to have picked as an opener. The thought of having to actually have sex makes me feel ill (though I recognise that I'm panicked at the minute which is influencing that), but it seems common to have to do it if you want a relationship. I guess this is where asexual dating comes in, though the odds are stacked against that in terms of circumstances.
Thank you both for replying again.
Oh no! Perhaps not the best one to start on! FWIW I have seen several posts on there, it was a while ago as I haven't visited recently, but many about asexual people in relationships where sex is not on the agenda at all. It either goes up to whatever "level" they feel comfortable with, or there is no physical touching at all or in some cases the other partner seeks sex outside of the relationship (with blessing/agreement). I have read about asexual/asexual relationships as well as relationships between "sexuals" and asexuals where either the "sexual" partner chooses to be celibate or there is some kind of arrangement as mentioned above. And, yes, some people have arrangements where the asexual partner chooses to have sex with their partner. But this is most certainly not expected or encouraged.
It takes all kinds of people to make a world. It seems unlikely that in your entire life you will never meet anybody like-minded or compatible at all Do you mind me asking how old you are?
Thank you for replying again.
I just think it seems a bit unlikely that I'd meet someone who was asexual, living in the same area as me, who both liked me and whom I liked. I'd feel guilty if I made someone be celibate, and lots of asexuals seem to like to have kissing in their relationships. The MH issues I have are probably clouding my judgement here though, I'm not good at seeing the positives.
I'm 26. I don't have a lot of recent experience with people, since I don't really leave the house. I don't really know why I'm obsessing about this at the minute since I couldn't have a relationship anyway, maybe I spend too much time reading these boards!
Only 26! Plenty of time then. There's no law which says you have to have a relationship at all. And especially if you don't want children (or would prefer to adopt for example) there is no particular hurry to find someone who is right for you. It might be that a close friendship is more what you are looking for, or a friendship group or several friendships rather than being totally dependent on one. And honestly I know it sounds flippant but there really are all kinds of relationship dynamics out there which are much more accepted these days. If you really looked hard for it I think you'd be surprised.
They reckon that 1% of the population are asexual, which is actually quite a lot - it would have been 2 people a year in my secondary school, which had about 7 classes in each year. Or at my last job there were 10 people working there, so that's a 10% chance that one of those people could have been asexual. If you worked somewhere with just 25 people that chance increases to one in four. Just because you find it difficult to go out and be with people at the moment, doesn't mean that that will be the case forever.

transmission fluid and filter
Actually I haven't replaced the fluid yet, the car is still in my garage. I didn't want to do the wrong thing so waited for advise from a couple of forums and a friend. The fluid is pretty clear, not dirty at all. Since it has the lifetime fluid I think I will put the same fluid back in and count all this as education. The car has just over 70K miles. From here to fore any transmission service will go the the dealer. Too little savings and too much work.
Many thanks for the feed back.

I wish it was some really dramatic story with a power tool and a misplaced rocket cartridge… The club was run by students at the time (this was more than a decade ago!) and they decided to institute an application process to be on the team. Oddly enough me and another guy named Nathan were the only two out of 50 that didn't get to re-join the team. Maybe the team captain was upset I was dating his ex-girlfriend? Who knows about these things?

OK, Nate, you can't tell us that juicy piece of trivia and not tell us why you got kicked out of FIRST.
 I mentored two teams and I felt there were some kids on the teams that really should have been kicked off, but weren't. So you must have done something really bad …

FIRST is cool, to bad they closed the competition today because of the weather, got half way out to DU with my dad just to find out from the rest of the team(#1377) that it was over. ;( But this is pretty cool what he did, would have been good for the field system at the Mines skirmish, that was a disaster with the driver station updates that were floating around.
 Good luck Thunder Chickens and other FIRST FRC teams

FIRST!! I'll be cheering for the Thunder Chickens this year too.
 As a professional software engineer I got my start in electronics and computer programming in FIRST. It's a great program! I'm a living example of how getting kids into stuff that's way over their heads will give them bigger expectations for themselves.
 As an electronics professional or hobbyist let me encourage you to check out their website at www.usfirst.org. See if there is a team in your area, they're fun to watch and even more fun to help out. The engineers and shop guys at Siemens Automotive gave me invaluable experience and skills that I use today.
 GO Thunder Chickens.

They came here on boats, with exquisite taste and bad manners they went forth feral and populated. / Their children's children spoke intimate nonsense shyly in shapeshifting playgrounds. / They altered their egos, telling tall tales amid imaginary worlds of others discards. / They peddled their wares, lines and letters to keep themselves fed full and snug in rugs. / Lazy afternoons sending out stories through tangled cords of collective conscious. / And as the days pass her water-table rises, leaking sympathetic wells of water at the world's wonders. / Casting shapes in the expectation of an approaching villain. / They labour in rapture to extract from the under-land a wide eyed monster, fiercely silent and already hunting for truffles. / The path to his lair littered with severed heads and indecipherable marks, left to guide his companions in the lessons of chaos. / In the search for the way of things this fledgling clan seek simplicity regardless of the fears that face them. / Together they prepare for exploration of uncharted territories - in the knowledge that their time together is fleeting and the end is theirs alone.

The information explosion is not a window on the future so much as a mirror of the past catching up with the present. – Gene Youngblood 1970
"Nutrimetica II: spatially reconstructs a memory of Nutrimetica I* and addresses the distortions of memory itself by adding physical ideas and elements of previous works of the artist into the one space. Nutrimetica: the sequel (513 VHS) is a generated physical mapping of a stored memory in celluloid. The invention of video was accessed by an opportuned public to immortalise, playback and passively enjoy their own memories. (513 VHS) considers the necessity of the real to non-recorded memories distorted by factors of time, perception of experience and the timeline of one's life. The work is a recognition of the way in which media culture performs as a manipulative device to distort our realities."
– Luke Warm, 2008
*Nutrimetica I: Nightclub Project 1: The Men's Gallery, Next Wave 2008
Luke Warm is a Melbourne based artist who uses the installation interface to orchestrate his atmospheric works that often employ several simultaneous components of practice. Warm mostly utilises video, photography, sculpture, set and costume design to communicate and resolve his ideas. Warm's work reveals the presence of reality and the way in which fiction is conveyed within media culture. The videoscape of the melodrama and the tabloid are all constructed fantasies which are pre-empted and generated by its audience. Warm surveys how we perceive the ideal and succumb to the seduction of suspended-disbelief. Nutrimetica II on show at Vitrine throughout November.

Major League Baseball will have expanded instant replay next season and it will look a lot like the NHL's system.
All replays will be reviewed from MLB Advanced Media headquarters in New York, as the NHL does with its situation room in Toronto. And while managers' challenges represent a step the NHL has yet to take, this could be just be the first example of other sports borrowing hockey's centralized-replay model.
"One thing that a central location does is it brings consistency to your calls," senior VP of hockey operations Mike Murphy said in a phone interview. "So the call you get tonight is probably going to be the same as the call tomorrow night or the next night because it's the same people doing it."
When the goal is to get the call right, making all the decisions in one place should help as baseball goes from looking at just home runs to almost everything except balls and strikes. If a manager wants to challenge a call, he has a chance to do so, and from the seventh inning on the umpire who's serving as the crew chief can initiate review if he sees fit.
That's more expanded than what the NHL does, and it could serve as a glimpse into hockey's future. But for now, as MLB special assistant and former manager Tony La Russa pointed out, baseball is doing a "historic thing" in brushing off tradition to be more accurate.
It's no coincidence that the move to centralized replay came after MLB senior VP of standards and on-field operations Joe Garagiola Jr. visited the NHL's situation room.
"Well, we've had meetings in here with both the NBA and the NFL. Years ago Major League Baseball did come in here," Murphy said. "We've had horse racing come in and look at our place. ... We've had a lot of sports. We've had Aussie rugby come in a couple of months ago and look at our setup here."
So as much grief as NHL officiating gets at times, there's reason to believe the league's review process — at least when it comes to whether the puck crossed the line — is the best system available for professional leagues.
MLB umpires previously checked out home-run calls themselves using monitors within the stadium, similar to how NFL referees went "under the hood" on the sideline to look at various replays. Now, everything will go to New York.
That could be coming to the NFL, too, as commissioner Roger Goodell has broached that possibility an effort to improve speed and accuracy.
"We always think we can improve," Goodell told NFL.com at league meetings last month. "Consistency is important. By bringing it into the league office on Sundays and having one person actually making that decision, you can make an argument there's consistency."
Baltimore Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti said centralized replay could expedite the replay-review process and make it "fairer" for referees, who have held extra responsibilities since the NFL instituted coach's challenges.
That's baseball's hope, as it will hire someone to work in a position similar to Murphy's to oversee the logistical aspects of instant replay. After many years of debate, MLB is finally embracing the technology that's available.
"If I'm a manager, if (replay) goes against me, I think you want to win if you should win and you don't want to get beat by something that was a miss that is now (able to be) corrected," La Russa said.
NHL coaches agree with that sentiment.
"In the end, all we want is the right call," Anaheim Ducks coach Bruce Boudreau said in a phone interview. "I think that's what both teams want."
Boudreau would be in favour of a coach's challenge system in the NHL similar to what baseball will implement. Managers will be able to challenge one play — any or all aspects of it — and then if a call is overturned get to challenge a second one.Report Typo/Error

|Topic Review (Newest First)
After looking at your journal, and reading and re-reading your original post, here's my personal tips...
Space is always at a premium. And wasted space winds up as a labor waste. Layout certain areas to do certain types of work. If you blow dry anything using compressed air that you've just parts-washed, plumb a hard line to the area near the parts washer. You can make your own short air hoses. Coil hoses stink in my opinion. Keep all your lengths of scrap steel near the welder, if you have one. Keep your bench grinder nearby as well. Also, keep what you can off the floor as much as possible. Check my journal out, I am typing from experience here.
Lights and outlets are your best friends, have lots of both, and keep them in close range at all times. Extension cords really suck and are a trip hazard no matter what. Outlets should be spaced at no more than 6 foot intervals. If possible, wire double outlets on two separate circuits. As stated earlier, use lots of lights. My wife told me that I needed more lights in my garage. Track lights are fairly cheap and can be pointed where you need them.
If you do not have a breaker box in your garage, now is the time to install one. 100 amp should be enough to power anything you'll do there. Keep one circuit with two incandesant 40 watt bulbs wired into the house so you can see your way out if the garage loses full power (highly unlikely, but, it could happen).
To divide out the garage the way you're thinking, if I follow you, try a deal like hospitals use. That curtain could easily divide and protect (somewhat) anything on the other side of it. Anything is better than nothing.
Gloss white is definately a no-no. Semi-gloss in off white looks decent. Also, paint the walls prior to installing shelves. I'll wind up pulling my shelves just to paint behind them.
That brings me to shelves. Swing up shelves are the best idea, because any flat surface holds crap that brings more crap. Make sure that some are totally adjustable. Take a look at grocery store shelves to see closer what I mean. If a nearby store is putting new shelves in, you may get the old ones really cheap. Keep stuff where it belongs and you will almost never want to leave your garage.
Look at bargains anytime, anyplace. My work is redoing a lot of older air fittings, and a buddy in maintenance is working on getting me a dozen or so regulators and the schedule 40 pipe (in 2 to 4 foot sections--couplers and pipe tape are cheap). I am also getting plywood scaps and scrap steel leftovers from there, as well. Get creative, and the real bargains will even find you. Just look everywhere with an open mind.
In a while, Chet.
|whatever you do, dont use those mercury-vapor bulbs....there's 6 in the shop where I work, and while the light is good, they have a tendency to blind you if you happen to look up at them, say, if you're on your back under something and catch a glimpse of the light.
re: Pimp my garage-lights
Go to Home Depot and buy the fluorescent fixtures that take two type T-8 bulbs (the skinny 4-footers). The fixtures have electronic ballasts so the lights will come on right away in the cold. The tubes cost about double the F40's, but the fixtures are only about $8 each. Buy a couple ever so often and soon you'll be lit up like 'Vegas!
Sorry for not getting back sooner,
Poncho062 - you arnt being cruel, It was a hectic week in the garage, that and there was more stuff in there cause I noticed some kids eyeballing my daughters new bike. The bikes, patio umbrella, shingle's are all out of there and put away now, I should have snapped the pics with the garage empty, but I have a %&& of time keeping it clean, one job after the other. I do alot of welding/fabrication projects, this is why I'm thinking of using one side just for that, I won't structurally change the garage, just not "reserve" one side for vehicles.
JPhil - I was going to go with a high gloss white paint, I thought it would add more light to the situation.
Beenaway2long - I try to keep the g/f out of the garage, but once I get some bench's going, there will be lots of organized storage (just have to use them)
Thanks for all the advice you guy's
As a garage-aholic, I have to side with Ponch. A dumpster is your first move.
Some of the stuff I am going to do is to consolidate:
1.) instead of building benches, make a mobile work station with drawers. Make a 30" wide standard lower cabinet w/ 4 or 5 drawers, and put it on lockable casters. Use double 3/4" plywood top, as a PORTABLE workbench/work station. Put "like" tools in it. Make one for bodywork, special aotomotive tools, etc. Make a provision where you can connect/lock them together to give you a larger surface. They need to be the same height ! You COULD use a premade base cabinet from a casework company, but I will build my own! That way it will endure my abuse. The sectional portable bench kind of inhibits you from piling crap on it. And you can roll it to the job.
2.) Use a 36" wide x18" deep x84" high double door cabinet , and put small stuff in "fish tins". The plastic boxes that commercial fish frys get the fish in. You can buy them for $.50 each. They hold a bunch, and they are stackable.
I have "carb parts", "electrical", "wiring" , "small engine parts", "odd fasteners", and a bunch of other stuff in mine. And the end of the box is labeled. I stack them on the shelves in the cabinet, and its all out of sight. Plus, its a cool place to put all those stickers from manufacturers on it. Open the doors , and get what you need without sorting.
3.) Bigger stuff, get the "rubbermaid tubs" for like $7.00 each at a department store. Get sturdy ones, and you can store sporting goods, hunting, fishing, gardening stuff, and carpentry tools, in them. Easy to stack. Write on them so you can go directly where you need to
SIDE BENEFIT: You can have your wife go DIRECTLY to the bin you need, to get whatever piece you need!! (Ya gotta stay one step ahead of em..)
Freddy....my sugestions. You need as much space as possible.
1/ Dont want to sound cruel, but clean the place up. A dirty/junky garage is just a waste of space. Everything should have its place.
2/ If it is a double garage, keep it as such. You may nrrd that 2nd bay, since your project takes the other. Put the benches at the end so you have as much width as possible.
3/ I see you have a big compressor. If you can build a shed out back to put it in, you will save space. Better yet, if you can build a small addition for all your tools, that would save working space.
|Gator looks like a small nice apartment with tools and car parts!!!!! not a garage.
A couple suggestions I would like to make: First, don't use high gloss paint. The reflected glare can be bothersome. Use a semi-gloss or satin, it will still be a durable surface and reflect light, but without the glare. Consider a slightly off-white shade as well, it is less fatigueing to the eyes.
Think about some kind of sheild you can put between your bench and the car. It can really make you vomit when you put down the grinder and turn around to see a hundred still smoking spark burns in your paint and interior.
Yeah, lots and lots of lights. I live in Colorado, it gets cold enough here that fluorescents don't work till the garage warms up, so I also put in a few incandescent light bulbs, with sheilds. I come in, flip on the bulbs, fire up the wood stove, and in a few minutes I can turn on the fluorescents. Plus the combination of the two at the same time, I have noticed, is also easier on the eyes than just fluorescents alone.
I have some other things I've come up with which I'll post on the "Whatjyamake" thread, but I don't have time right now........

Use good insulation. I have used the 3/4 plywood thing but the sheet rock looks better. Get plenty of lights, I have 3 twin 8 footers in the front of mine and still not enough. Lot of receptacles (on different breaker than overhead lights) I will build benches that will hinge off the wall and sit on legs that are removable, this makes a lot of bench space and when your done with the bench it pivots up out of the way (also keeps it clean, no clutter sitting on it if its up).
I miss my garage.
Mine is 24'X22' sheet rocked and painted. I put in outlets 4' above the floor and spaced every 6' along the two side walls (all GFI or conected to GFI). I also installed lights in the ceiling. I put down black and white vinyl tile on the floor to give it a cool look. I have an 8' rolling metal bench on one side. There are upper cabinets along the walls. (I got these for free from a friend redoing his kitchen.)
But my kids are teens now so I gave up my garage so they could hangout there with their friends. In a few years I will get my garage back.
(In pic three you can see the steering column I cut down for my truck.)
|the thing i really love about my garage is that the inside is all 3/4 plywood. its really nice, as you can't put holes into it, and you can hang anything anywhere
Pimp my Garage
So I am finally able to get around to redoing my garage. It is 22'X24', and currently two bay. I am seriously considering dropping it to one bay, with the other side being "work" space. I've already decided to put a bench down the one side full length, and at the front I will probably put a parts washer, sand blast cabinet and hopefully a powder coating oven. I am also adding a 36"X48" addition to the front where I will put the air compressor and propane tanks.
I have looked/drooled at all the shops posted here, and decided to appeal to the shop design master's to assist to me in redesigning my shop. Beside's what I've mentioned already, I am replacing all the sheet-rock and painting a high gloss white. So.. hit me with all your design ideas. Please
Oh yeah, I've posted some picture's of the inside to my gallery,
Thank's in advance
