I apologize for the somewhat nonsensical title, but I am totally baffled. So I had a project I had bulit in Maya 6, had set up a few render layers, and then I installed Maya 7. First issue. Nothing appears in the master layer. So I figure, oh well, and I set up my render layers. Well now I am getting massively frustrated by these layers. I set up separate layers for diffuse and specular because the documentation said it prefers that, but now suddenly I have a materal that was supposed to be transparent, and it always was in Maya 6, but now suddenly in Maya 7, the diffuse pass makes it look solid, but when you flip to the alpha, the transparency is there, but it doesn't account for any of the geometry behind it. A magical alpha hole, if you will.
Am I completely psychotic? Am I just totally missing something???
Thank you in advance for any ideas.

Nice concise write up. Is it accurate?
Before I get into this, here is a photo of my Bersa Thunder 380. There are a few of them out there in different styles (and slightly different names), I speak only for this one:
Ok. I've gotten a few private messages about my Bersa Thunder 380 now, so I thought I would make a thread about it.
The gun, in general, is a decent weapon. It is very accurate, lightweight, slender, and easy to carry in just about any way. I have deep concealed, put it in an ankle holster, worn in IWB, and carried it in my purse. I am carrying it more often than I used to now, because it is begining to enter its "broken in" stage.
It isn't the greatest for IWB. It does tend to jam me in the ribs a little harder than my Sig P226 (which blows my mind), but it is doable. Great purse gun, great ankle gun.
It's a little hardcore on the safeties, but you get around that. I threw out the key. I use the one safety, I had the magazine disconnect safety disconnected.
My problem with the gun, and I understand it isn't a normal occurance, but one out of every few does have this same problem, is the magazine disconnect safety malfunctioned. The first time I took it out on the range, it made it through 30 rounds before it became a single shot. The gun read the magazine as not in the gun after the first shot, so I would have to drop the magazine and put it back to fire each round. I sent it to a gun smith, he easily fixed it, and I haven't even had so much as a jam or misfeed since.
The gun is a little tricky to break down and put together because of the fixed barrel, but with practice it becomes a breeze. If you stop cleaning it weekly like I was doing for a while, it becomes tricky again. Just break it down once a week to stay in practice. At least once a month.
Would I reccomend buying this gun? Yes, I would. It is a good, low cost gun that you don't feel too bad about strapping to your ankle. If you have the money, buy something else, though (unless it is an ankle gun most of the time, because you don't feel so bad strapping a $220 gun to your ankle, while a $550 gun you might worry more about down there). I would reccomend buying a Walther PPK or Sig P232 if you can afford them. But the Bersa Thunder 380 is wonderful on the range, cheap on ammo, cheap on maintaining, not ammo picky, very accurate, durable, and really is a good little gun.
Nice write-up... glad to see you're happy you took the plunge...don't freak if it FTF in the first few 100 rounds, it will break in. I trust my life with mine in my pocket in the summer mowing the lawn or walking around the block in shorts and a t-shirt when I can't carry a .40 or .45.
I'm still looking for some CorBon DPX in the local stores, I might have to order some before too long...until then regular CorBon's backed by a few FMJ's will work.
Great little shooter and even better on the user than a Wathler PPK/S
The SA trigger is better than a lot of auto's I've shot.
7 yards with my crap hands...
Yes, that isn't bad accuracy...
I almost bought one last year myself...
Oh, it is accurate, I'm always willing to give that much credit as fast as possible. Out of my three guns, it is the most accurate one. I'll try to shoot a target with just the Bersa one of these times and save it for you. I usually do all three on one because the first target is free. LOL! I'm cheap like that.
I have some 380 Extreme Shocks waiting right now. So far, not brave enough. I'll admit, my issue made me a little untrusting of the little thing, but we're getting there. I still don't carry it with a round chambered, which is unlike me. My guns are always chambered and ready to go, but I don't have that much trust yet. Soon, though. It's winning me over faster and faster. By 1000 rounds we should be almost best friends (the Sig is always my best girl).
I wrote this some years ago but it may still bear merit. Regards, Richard
"This is a review and comparison of the following pistols that I own and shoot. These pistols are the Bersa Thunder 380, Makarov, Sig P230, and Walther PP. I own the pistols reviewed and carry them on occasion. I am sorry that I do not own a Walther PP in .380; I used my 32acp version of the PP for this review.
Many feel the 380 is low on the power ladder but I feel as well armed with a 380 as a 38 Special in a snub nose revolver and I have more shots with the 380. The 32acp is a strange situation because its actual performance is much better than it should be.
All of these pistols are accurate and the reason for this is they all have fixed barrels. Accuracy from a fixed barrel is a known plus but failing to have a Browning style barrel increases felt recoil. What do I mean? I find my Kel-Tec P32 as easy to shoot as my Walther PP 32acp, which is a much bigger and heavier handgun.
Bersa Thunder 380
§ Caliber: .380 ACP
§ System of operation: Semiautomatic
§ Length: 6.61 inches
§ Height: 4.92 inches
§ Width: 1.34 inches
§ Barrel length: 3.5 inches
§ Weight: 20 ounces
§ Rear sight: Notched bar, dovetailed
§ Front sight: Blade, integral with slide
§ Magazine capacity: 7 cartridges
§ Grip: Polymer
§ Finish: Blue/ Nickel/ Duotone
§ After firing the last cartridge, the slide remains open
I have well over 500 rounds through my Bersa since I bought in March of this year. I find the factory plastic grips comfortable and the sights easy to see. My pistol has an excellent factory trigger and I shoot this pistol well. If I have any complaints about the Bersa, they are the decocker works in the opposite direction from a 1911 and the finish could be better.
My pistol came with one magazine but I bought two extra ProMags from CDNN at a very good price. These magazines lack the finger extension found on factory magazines but that is not a big deal to me. I am sure the Bersa Thunder is one of the best buys available in the current handgun market.
§ Type: Semiautomatic, fixed barrel, straight blowback
§ Caliber: 9 x 18 mm.
§ Length overall: 6.29921 inches
§ Weight: 23.47 oz.
§ Barrel length: 3.66142 inches
§ Capacity: 8
Another current best buy is the Makarov pistol. These were the pistols of the Soviets and they are built like T34 tanks. I own three Makarovs and I like them, two of these are East German (EG) and the third is a Bulgarian. The Makarov is a little bigger and heavier than the other pistols in this review but with a good holster, carry and concealment are not an issue.
To me my main concern is the small factory sights that come standard on Maks. I replace the sights on my Bulgarian with Novak Night Sights and it is now a dream to shoot. A word to the wise is sight replacement is not cheap. This runs between two and three hundred dollars. With the current price of Maks, you may consider the Mak as a point and shoot gun if you so desire. I can squint and do okay with the factory sights on my EGs but the Novak's are a joy to use.
The triggers on all thee of my Maks are good with the nod going to the EGs. I do not feel unarmed when I carry a Mak. The Mak is a lot of value for the price.
Sig P230
§ Type: Semiautomatic, fixed barrel, straight blowback
§ Caliber: .380acp
§ Length overall: 6.6 inches
§ Weight: 20.8 oz.
§ Barrel length: 3.6 inches
§ Capacity: 8
My Sig P230 is a used stainless steel pistol that is in very good condition. I bought it used from a dealer I respect; the dealer said it was a police officer's back up gun and used little. My impression of the P230 is it ranks up there with the best but it should as it costs a lot.
This compact pistol came with a problem. The gun jammed the first time I shot it and continued to jam. The jams were like no other I have ever seen before. The spent cartridge ejected properly but the next cartridge went straight at the top of the chamber and lodged there. To make matters more interesting the third round then faced downward at the front of the magazine. I am bull headed and kept trying to figure out the cause of these jams. I tried all types of ammunition including full metal jacket bullets. Nothing helped the situation.
I called the shop I bought the pistol from, the shop owner said bring the pistol in, and he would make good on it. I put off taking the 90-mile drive and continued to ponder the situation. I asked anyone with Sig experience ad called the manufacturer. In the end, I ordered a new recoil spring, magazine spring, and magazine from Sig.
I installed the springs and I did note the new springs have much more power than the old ones. I took the Sig P232 to the range and guess what happened with the first round? A jam just like the prior jams. I cleared the jam and reloaded the pistol. Before I fired the next round I remembered something the Sig gunsmith said to me: "Hold the pistol high and with a firm grasp." I tried this and the jams are now gone. Lastly, the P232 is accurate shooting orange sized groups from a modified Weaver stance at 10 yards.
Walther PP 32acp
§ Type: Double Action
§ Caliber: 32acp
§ Length overall: 6.81102 Inches
§ Weight: 21.9268 Ounces
§ Barrel length: 3.89764 Inches
§ Capacity: 8
My Walther PP is a West German police trade in excellent condition. This pistol is the one all other compacts are judged by. My PP exudes quality and shoots to point of aim. I have only one complaint with Walther PP pistols and that is the bite the web of my hand. A final note on Walthers is they tend to hold their value better than any pistol I have owned.
After evaluating the four pistols, my conclusion is all will serve you well but the true sleeper is the Bersa Thunder 380. This little pistol has great sights and a very good trigger. In the end, it is my choice over the Makarov due solely to its superior sights. The Bersa is one-third to one-half as much money as the Walther or Sig pistols. It is a truly great buy.
Avoid Taurus products like the plague! Why? They have no customer service.
Thanks for the posts.
Now Richard that is one fine report. It lets us look at the different qualitys of the guns involved. Thanks.
This is my trusty Bersa Thunder 380 and the second photo is the holster I use with it most by HBE. regards, Richard
Good reviews, Richard. Show us some pics of your Makarovs.
Nevermind, Richard. I just found the pics on your thread. Nice!!!

I attempted phase two of the test on my Bersa today and it was deemed inconclusive due to bad ammo. The first round misfed real bad (the whole casing went into the barrel) and several more just didn't even fire. I would have deemed it a failure due to how bad that misfeed was, but the dead ammo made me decide it needs to be attempted again. I used Fiocchi ammo, which has been having problems lately, but sadly it was all I could get at the range today. Of course, I used my S&W 686 also and put 357 magnum Fiocchi through it to much the same outcome. Several rounds just didn't fire at all, which I have never had happen before with this gun. So I am assuming it was bad ammo and the test will be attempted again with a different brand.

For cases not in EZ REDE status, use the amount of assets as of the first day of the payment month that benefits could have been changed had the client reported it.
For EZ REDE units, use the first month of the new approval period that could be affected had the client reported the information on their EZ REDE application.
For categorically eligible cases, there is no overpayment due to assets because assets have no effect on eligibility (see PM 05-07-00).

No Cell Phones Means No Final Test
A first year high school math teacher, Katie Pettit, at Kimball High School decided instead of giving students a final test on traditional math concepts, she would test them on a greater equation by taking away their cell phones for a full week--day and night.
Ms. Pettit told students if they turned in their cell phones for a full week then they wouldn't have to take a final test. Students are so tuned into their cell phones that the initial thought of handing over their cell phones is a little discouraging, but they actually responded to the test rather well. One student even found an old Walkman in order to listen to his favorite music during the week. While another student said she would turn in her phone for a whole year if that would give her an 'A' in math class.
Also, Ms. Pettit asked students to turn in all of their assignments completed, and if they did she would turn in her cell phone too.

Is MMR vaccine safe?
I have read about some studies questioning the safety of MMR vaccines - how it can cause autism and irritable bowel syndrome.
I am getting confused how true these claims are... We have long believed on certain medical innovations as the 'miracle cure' for diseases only to be debunked a decade later.
Now I'm questioning if vaccines are all really that beneficial...

I remember standing on the tundra at Prudhoe Bay, under a sign with a big "0" to mark the origin of the Alaskan oil pipeline. There was a small place at the start of the pipeline where visitors were allowed to touch it, a shock of warmth in that very cold place. I could actually feel the oil move through the tube, a sensation of volume and power and heat. In the fall of 1995, a civic organization known as Commonwealth North had invited me to Alaska to give a talk on higher education. When I arrived I also learned that they had planned an unusual excursion for me — a flight from Anchorage to Deadhorse and thence by jeep to Prudhoe Bay to observe the oil refineries there. I later learned that this was standard operating procedure for all of their visitors, but there was some extra incentive since I was from Washington, where Alaska's oil and environmental interests competed daily for the attention of lawmakers.
The sight of the huge oil refineries on the edge of the Arctic Ocean was eye-opening for me. I was even more astonished by the tours of the facilities — the size, the complexity, and the stark nature of the lives of the men (mostly men, very few women) who would work for several weeks without a break at the refineries, and then fly back "home" to Texas or California or Nebraska or Juneau for a week-long break with families. Given the cold and long dark winters, the workers remained mostly indoors; alcohol was forbidden, and entertainment was scarce (imagine life before the Internet in a remote, lonely place where you had to be inside most of the time!). My Alaskan guides hastened to point out the relative safety of the refinery management, and the many benefits that Alaskans received as a result of the drilling (notably, an annual cash payment as a result of the oil windfall). The oil business is the business of Alaska. I remained skeptical, wondering how so much machinery across so many acres could operate without some mistakes, some system failures, some glitches.
As we drove across the tundra on narrow roads of packed ice designed to limit environmnetal impact, I could see caribou and other native species grazing in the vast wilderness on either side. The land was stark, beautiful in a desolate way, utterly cold.
These memories came back to me this week with the news of the shutdown of the Alaskan pipeline at BP's Prudhoe Bay refinery because of corrosion and leaks in parts of the line. Such an episode should not be a surprise, given the age and sheer size of the pipeline. But this interruption in U.S. oil production comes at a critical moment in the saga of this nation's dependency on fossil fuels, with the Middle East crisis and Iraq war having already pushed the price of a barrel of oil to record levels, and the cost of filling the tank to new highs. Coincidentally — some would suggest cynically — profits have never been greater for the executives of the big oil companies.
Even before this crisis, the Prudhoe Bay operation was declining in productivity as a quarter-century of drilling tapped out the capacity of the wells. Debate has raged from Deadhorse to Capitol Hill about whether to expand drilling along the northernmost plains of Alaska, the Artic National Wildlife Refuge. This episode surely will open new debate; we might hope that the debate could also be enlightened by new ideas and alternative solutions for the current and future energy demands of modern life. I wonder what those caribou would say if they could speak to us.

Aloha, Ms. Phair
Happy 40th birthday to Elizabeth Clark Phair, greatest female songwriter alive!
Born in New Haven, Connecticut on April 17, 1967, Phair has confounded, frustrated and evaded critics - and even fans - at seemingly every turn, like few rock stars in history. The tension, it seems to me, is between what everyone wanted Liz Phair to be, and what Liz Phair wants to be. What Phair wants to be is slippery. To start with, she wanted to be a visual artist...
"In which a girl-rock shooting star seeks recognition as nothing more but nothing less than the imaginative, eccentric singer-songwriter she always was." -Robert Christgau on Liz Phair
After art school, Phair sold her drawings in Chicago, and sat around in her bedroom at her parents' house with a 4-track and a guitar. And when she came out of the bedroom, she had two cassettes full of the most amazing singer-songwriter slack-rock the world ever heard (or was it three?!), ironic-cute labeled "Girlysound". And on some level, you must know this has all the marks of a Pop Music Myth, the Legend of Girlysound 1991, Phair descending from the Gen X Sinai of her childhood bedroom bearing the two tablets of Girlysound cassettes, and with the 1993 release of Exile in Guyville spontaneously becoming Voice of a Generation. That generation, however, is notoriously cynical, sarcastic and disenchanted, and tends to implode its own myths. Witness Mr. Kurt Cobain.
Girlysound and Guyville got a lot of attention for Phair's frank language, disgruntled songs about boys, and supposed reconfiguration of Exile on Main St., and this is the first critical misstep: everyone was pointing at the obvious elements of the Phair Mystique. The disappointment and backlash began with 1994's Whip-Smart, which only contained a smattering of f-words, and deepened in a four year absence before '98's whitechocolatespaceegg. Phair's fall from grace is in part a story critial misunderstanding and resentment, and in part her own stubborn refusal to set things straight.
We might have heeded the lyrics of "Strange Loop" in '93, when Phair sang "The fire you like so much in me/ Is the mark of someone adamantly free": that's a stated promise to confound expectations. In truth there are only a handful of Guyville songs about sex, only a few too graphic to play on the radio. "Fuck and Run", and "Flower", and that's it for the swearing and body-part talk. The shining moments are about looking out airplane windows ("Stratford-On-Guy"), fighting with your husband about a cigarette lighter on a crappy road trip ("Divorce Song") and the exasperation of living with immature roommates ("Help Me, Mary"). There are gender politics inherent in all these topics, but Phair's lyrics are weary, her nouns concrete and grungy, and stories mundane; far more effort is expended on the poetry of the everyday than on being provocative. That's the secret. Liz Phair finds the funny side of unnameable bad feelings, and glimmer of sad beauty in the completely boring, in precise observation of moments others do not bother to observe. Because that's where life is, most of the time.
She finds the lost soul of would-be macho "Soap Star Joe" as he sits in his car at night staring into the comforting green-and-white dashboard display. A lot of whitechocolatespaceegg, is given over to describing people with headaches, and characters finding the meaning of life while smoking and mowing the lawn. In "Alice Springs", a flashy lightshow display across the heavens turns out to be nothing but "a carpeting store on opening day". A brief fantasia in "Ride", in which Phair contemplates her rotting corpse levitating and ascending on a cloud of flies is, ultimately, just about coming home drunk and falling in bed with your head spinning.
And she constantly sings off key in her naturally low, deadpan alto.
And often she does not tune her instruments.
It's all very catchy and tuneful, and universal in concern... and utterly unsuited for pop radio. No apologies to those who wanted Phair to be a pretty girl with a dirty mouth who struck a constant defiant pose in the press. You have Courtney Love for that, I guess. Liz Phair, on the other hand, too paralyzed by stage fright to even enjoy performing.
Something bad happened in 2003, and I don't know if a musician has ever broken my heart so badly. Liz Phair, a self-titled, inexcusable and ridiculous bid for Avril Lavigne pop stardom... just sort of happened. I cannot doubt Phair's sincerity when she said insisted the record was born of a genuine love for teen pop music, and every song is drenched in naked confession of equal measure to it's overproduced gloss. In a shocking moment as embarrassing as it is tragic and self-aware, she sings to a barely-legal paramour "Your record collection don't exist/ You don't even know who Liz Phair is." Steve Albini, uber-engineer-producer, wrote to the Chicago Reader in 1993, and called Phair "more talked about than heard, a persona completely unrooted in substance, and a fucking chore to listen to". I'm sure he felt vindicated by Liz Phair. Did we lose Liz Phair? Should we have bought a lot more copies of whitechocolatespaceegg so she wouldn't have to sell-out to feed her son? Did she insist on participating in her own crucifixion? Suddenly I felt like I didn't even know who Liz Phair is.
Phair dropped the Top 40 production team The Matrix for the 2005 follow-up Somebody's Miracle, which was encouraging. The songwriting was not exactly a return to form, simply boring, without the gift for locating the fascinating in the boring. And around this time, something else happened. First-generation Girlysound tapes were unearthed. A scrapped set of studio recordings for whitechocolatespaceegg began circulating. Rejected demos for Liz Phair popped up on file-trading networks, more solid songs than anything on the finished record. A miracle indeed, the Japanese edition of Somebody's Miracle contained a rave-up new recording of the Girlysound song "Can't Get Out of What I'm Into": "It's a steady job/ & it's the only thing that makes me money/ & it gives me something to laugh about/ 'Cause my real life ain't fuckin funny."
Revisiting that song, at this time, in this context, reminded me who Liz Phair is. I don't know if we ended up here by design or accident, or Phair being a stubborn contrarian. Has she been self-sabotaging for a reason? As if to confirm she knows she's been out of sorts, "Can't Get Out of What I'm Into" ends with a bellow and moan, "O Lord! Why have you forsaken me?!". The performance sounds more irritated than despairing.
Phair has been secretly recording material as strong as Guyville, but not putting it on albums. Those demos were leaked on purpose, and it is rumored, at Phair's own off-the-record request. She was hiding the good stuff during this period when real life wasn't funny. Those what failed to make spaceegg include some of the most beautiful songs Phair has written. In "Stuck on an Island", teenage Phair, strung out on coke, tries to fix her dad's totaled car with a rake before she passes out at 7 AM. In "White Bird of Texas", an emissary from the afterlife appears as an albino hawk and sweeps up her uncle while he's talking on the phone. "White Bird" is my favorite Liz Phair song, impossibly catchy, written just out of her own singing range on both ends, and a statement on mortality that is at once frightening, banal, and wise. To hear it you need to buy the Japanese "Polyester Bride" single, which is a hell of a place to stash your best song.
None of this has anything to do with film. Phair took roles in the indie comedies Cherish (2002) and Seeing Other People (2004, though her role is reportedly barely even a cameo), and made one foray into filmmaking, directing music video for "Supernova", an ecstatic ode to cute boys and lead single from Whip-Smart. She's dressed up as a ghost in it. I could not locate a YouTube clip for analysis, so instead...
Photographer and filmmaker Rodney Ascher directed the wistful and dirty/pretty video below, for the 2005 song "Down". It is the most clear-eyed, aching music Phair has written in years, a breakup (or not?) song as mature as they come, and it is, of course, a completely unreleased track. Or maybe Phair fans will be predisposed to connect with a song about feeling ashamed because of someone else's disappointing behavior. Also: contains more of L.A.'s Chinatown than Chinatown!
Hey, did you hear this crummy bootleg recording of these great Liz Phair songs?!... Wait, what year is this?

With almost infectious energy, Lord Davies of Abersoch launches into his latest crusade to transform Britain's business world.
"In the next decade, I think we are going to see the emergence of an extraordinary number of female executives, but it will require much more flexibility in our thinking," he says.
His sights are firmly set on dramatically boosting the number of women employed among the top 50 to 100 executives at British firms.
Appointed two years ago as the Government's independent adviser on women in the boardroom, he first got to grips with the gender imbalance among FTSE 100 directors. Already, the number of female directors in Britain's biggest companies has passed the 17.3 per cent mark and is rising.
The number of all-male boards has tumbled; now there are only eight, compared with a fifth just a few years ago.
The former trade minister is now also pushing for changes to boards of FTSE 250 firms. But the challenge still remains of getting more women through the "executive pipeline" to top jobs running companies day-to-day.
Lord Davies, 59, believes most business chiefs "get it" that they must address this issue. "If you don't understand as a chief executive that you have got to now move from the debate about your board, to your executive team and to your top 50/100 executives, then where have you been?"
As for chairmen still not ready to accept these changes among directors and executives? "If they don't get it, they should not be chairmen."
The Bangor-born, Welsh-speaking father-of-two has a wealth of
experience to argue his case, not just from an equality perspective but because of the particular business acumen that women bring to companies, such as a different approach to risk. Studies have shown that balanced boards help companies prosper, he highlights.
Before being made a trade minister in 2009, he was chairman of Standard Chartered Bank from November 2006, having previously been group chief executive for five years.
Now he is vice-chairman of private equity firm Corsair Capital, senior independent director at drinks giant Diageo, non-executive chairman of PineBridge Investments, chairman of the advisory board of investment bank Moelis & Co, and non-executive chairman of cash dispenser firm Note-Machine Group Holdings.
If that were not enough to keep him busy, the sports-loving peer — who has a box at Tottenham Hotspur — also chairs the council of the University of Wales in Bangor. With such a prolific CV, many in the Square Mile are keen to learn from him how to improve their companies by promoting more women — which is already happening.
"You are seeing a mood swing in the City," he says. "I come across a huge number of women MDs and women doing pivotal roles in financial institutions. The most voracious users of my time have been the accounting and legal profession, who have had me talking to partners, groups of staff, because the brain drain of women from those professions has been very acute over the last decade."
Six out of 10 graduates at many law and accounting firms are women, he adds. But often, four out of five partners are men.
Some companies, across many sectors, are still not sufficiently women-friendly, be it due to the lack of flexible working practices, reluctance to agree career breaks, or far more simple issues. "It starts with food in the canteen — you have got to think about your workforce," he points out.
The number of "prehistoric monster" firms, with chairmen opposed to women on boards, has dwindled to close to extinction, he says — through Britain setting a target for women to account for a quarter of directors by 2015, and not via the EU's proposed mandatory quota regime.
That aimed to ensure 40 per cent of non-executive directors on boards were women by 2020, but Brussels failed to force it on member states.
With the focus now shifting to FTSE 250 firms, will they find it harder than big companies to balance their boards better? "No. I think it is a mindset for chairmen," he says — while adding that not all the blame for the shortage of female directors can be laid on either chairmen, headhunters, nomination committees or investors. "Women have to do a better job of selling themselves," he urges.
And female high-fliers in business, the arts, politics and other fields also needed to be given more prominence as role models. Inspiration could come from successful women such as Net-a-Porter founder Natalie Massenet; Carolyn McCall, chief executive of easyJet; Jasmine Whitbread, boss of Save the Children International, and designer Anya Hindmarch.
"We do have to showcase women who have really achieved great things so that the youngsters of today are not all aspiring to be a pop singer," he says.
With his unbridled enthusiasm for bringing about change, there is no doubting that Lord Davies will notch up another success in modernising British business.
But you won't catch him referring to chairwomen or chairperson. "Chairmen for me means men or women," he says, before hurrying off to his next meeting.

'Kairi Panhe' or 'Kairi che panhe' is a maharashtrian name for this raw mango drink. Kairi means 'raw mango' in marathi language. 'Aam(mango) Panna' is a Hindi name for this drink.
The hot summer makes you long for a cool satisfying drink. Instead of drinking some artificially flavored and sugar filled drink, try this raw mango drink - Kairi panha that will not only quench your thirst but also make you feel cool in the hot summer. It is a great refreshing drink.
I am presenting my favorite Marathi beverage: panha, a drink made with raw mangoes. As the seasons inch towards the heat of summer, around early April, the mango starts making its appearance in the vegetable market. If one is lucky, there will be a tree in your backyard so you never have to buy these.
Raw mangoes are prized for many seasonal delights, both sweet and savory. Panha is made by cooking chopped raw mangoes with some jaggery (sugar can also be used). The cooked pulp is mashed, seasoned with some salt and cardamom powder and mixed with ice-cold water to make a delicious and refreshing drink.
Traditionally, panha is served at many afternoon events during the summer months, the heat during that time makes the thought of hot tea pretty much unbearable! On these occasions, panha is paired with a savory snack called vatali dal, made by grinding together soaked chana dal and grated raw mangoes with some chillies and salt. This dal-panha combo is just a fantastic treat and somehow makes even the harsh summer months worth looking forward to!
Raw mango Pulp - 1 cup.
Jaggery or sugar - 3/4 to 1 Cup - Quantity will depend on the sourness of the mangoes and your sweet tooth.
Saffron strands - 1/4 tsp
Cardamom powder - 1/2 tsp
Salt - a pinch
Jaggery or sugar - 3/4 to 1 Cup - Quantity will depend on the sourness of the mangoes and your sweet tooth.
Saffron strands - 1/4 tsp
Cardamom powder - 1/2 tsp
Salt - a pinch
- Wash the mangoes. Boil water in a pot.
- Put mangoes in that and boil till mangoes are soft. It will take about 10-15 minutes.You can pressure cook the mangoes. for 2 whistles
- Let the mangoes cool. Remove the skin and the inner seed and keep the pulp.
- Blend the pulp well with the jaggery in the blender or you can mash it well with your hand.
- Add cardamom powder and saffron. The thick pulp is ready.
- You can prepare the thick pulp and keep it in the fridge.
- When you want to serve, add about ¼ glass pulp into a glass, top with cold water. Stir to mix well or you can use a hand blender or a mixer.
- Add ice cubes and serve.
- Jaggery tastes better, gives good color and is more nutritious than sugar. I usually prefer to use jaggery.
- You can add Rock salt / pepper powder or nutmeg powder for extra flavor and taste. This is not added in the original kairi panha recipe. But you can sure make your variations.
- I have seen people add green food color to aam panna but I really like the original color you get with raw mango and jaggery, so I never felt the need to use artificial color. You may try to use it if you wish.
- You can pressure cook mangoes. It will take the same time as rice. Cool the mangoes. Remove the skin and the seed. Use the pulp.
- Put mangoes in a pot. Fill with water and bring to boil. Let boil for 10-15 minutes. Discard the water. Cool the mangoes and peel carefully. Remove seed. Use the pulp.
- Peel mango using a peeler or a knife.Boil in water till just done as above. It will take about 10-15 minutes depending on the size of the mango. Cool and squeeze the seed out of the mango. Blend the pieces along with water to pulp.
- Peel and cut mangoes in pieces and boil the pieces. Cool and blend in blender. You can use the water in which the mangoes were boiled.

Looks promissing! Keep us updated!
I heard it is also fun buying items on envato, how about that one?
Hehe funny it isn't a such a big problem but i agree it's kinda weird.
Maybe a advertisment on 3d cg forums should do the trick…
Lionfoxlooking good… I would go with the lightbulb, is kinda more realistic I think
Yes. I think or bulbs or gas-burner.
Thanks for the good comments! I will go for lightbulbs. THat picture is really nice, i didn't found such a good reference picture. This thread is really usefull, hopefully it will be used more often.
I'am thinking about creating a park collection (park bench, garbage bin, lantern, ect.) So i started to create a lantern this night. (sysmbolic to create a lantern at night ;)) I'm not finished but since it's time to sleep for me. I thought of posting it in the WIP thread and see what you guys think about the start of my lantern?
After reading this thread i remembered a site which checks your compatability with other browsers. On http://browsershots.org/ you can post a url of your site. Screenshots from all different browsers and versions (last one is very important because you couldn't check IE6 and IE8 yourself) will be made and send to you.
Hope this helps you seeing what other webusers may see!
I read an article on a dutch flash designer forum about making money with your flash files. It was called flashden at that time.
Just to let you know, I just uploaded a halfpipe, it's made from wood, but i think it can easely be textured with some snow. Perfectly to do some awesome tricks !
Ow and, some teamwork/collaboration would be a promising addition for Envato imo!

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by Buckeyes#1, Dec 5, 2009.
Yeah right. David Stern believes women could be playing in NBA within decade - Ian Thomsen - SI.com
If there are women in the NBA, I am going to stop watching. The refereeing is already bad enough, they would be incapable of calling a co-ed game with any degree of competitive sincerity.
Actually, instead of starting this thread, I should have put it in the Are You Kidding Me thread. The NBA is way too physical for these girls, even if it is watered down right now.
Let em play...We'll see how the refs treat em.
34 year old Marion Jones is entering the WNBA next season. If Stern was to allow this in a couple of years, I wonder if the steroids she took would least put her on par with Tyronn Lue in terms of physicalness?? Believe it or not there are some women in the WNBA that can probably shoot better than a handful of the players in the NBA. They can always use the women to shoot free throws or technical shots just to get it going..........
I didn't follow the WNBA, to be honest, I only follow the Pistons now, I don't even follow the NBA, but what I watched of WNBA games, those ladies can play. Some of them are tougher and more badass than the men. I would rather watch the WNBA talentwise, than watch Hemofarm or the Italian, Spanish or Greek leagues.
Are you serious??!! Women in the NBA will make the male players wanna play them harder and do some immature things like throw a shoulder into her on purpose or dunk on her really, really hard. [SARCASM]You know how you boys get when a woman is doing the same thing as you are and have to work with a woman everyday. [/SARCASM]
I worked with women, and it was way more fun than working with all guys. Get a bunch of guys together, and it gets really crude. The ladies keep us on our toes. I think Stern is just deflecting from the WNBA disaster and Tom Donaghy ratting out the league.
Not a good idea. I dont want to see women play with men. There are probably women who could compete with the men, so what. What would be the point?
Might help some teams' salary cap situations though. ......oops
Kander would be handcuffed and couldn't do half of his treatments on a female player without sure litigation to follow.
What was he going to say no? lol I would have hated to be Stern answering that question. I would have paid the guy to NOT ask me that question. Women playing in the NBA is NOT a good idea. Of course there are some extremely talented women ballers out there but as we all know, talent and skills are not enough in the NBA. In the NBA, size matters. And one could only imagine how much more catering to the women the refs would be. Just look at how difficult it is to officiate a giant like Shaq versus other smaller players... it would be that way for women, only my guess they'd be on the beneficial end of the whistle more times than not. We all know that men on average are bigger and stronger than women. Heck, the centers in the WNBA on average are the size of many PG's in the NBA. Now I'm not talking about skills here.... skills are skills, no matter what.
Excellent point
Eventually some freak will come along who will be good enough to play in some limited capacity. It'll happen, and why shouldn't it? It could only happen on a small scale like 1 or 2 players. The league would adjust. And they'll love the pub. Remember Annika Sorenstam? Now the real question is when are they goint to start allowing gentlemen to venture into the ladies public toilets?
That is precisely the reason why this is a bad idea. IMO, the average WNBA player has solid fundamental skills and basketball IQ. Oh, and way more heart than an average NBA player. If you could put Diana Taurasi in an NBA player's body, it would make a scary good player. But size will always be an issue. Someone who has spent her career as a post-up center would be forced to play a SG or PG in the NBA because of size (6'5" is considered a huge center in WNBA). I think the women who have the best chance to play in the NBA are athletic SG/SFs in WNBA. Such a player could come off the bench as a spark plug guard a la Earl Boykins. I don't think the eventual testasterone-fueled abusive plays during games would really discourage a female player. They probably would have more trouble coming from their own teammates off the court. Also, I would be much more worried about the refs calling the plays with too much sympathy for the female players. The biggest beneficiary of this would be the female players. It would be a tremendous pay increase for them. Currently WNBA players make their living by playing abroad. If this thing is forced (i.e. Stern demanding every NBA to have a female player on the roster) it would be a disaster. But, if a lady out there shows enough goods to convince an NBA team to sign and play her, why stop it? If women ever start to play in the NBA, it would be the final nail in the coffin of WNBA.
I agree with Phil on this one. Women in the NBA? 'Not going to happen,' says Phil - PE.com - Professional Sports
I'm not a woman hater or anything..but this would ruin the NBA. There is a huge physical difference between men and woman when it comes to basketball, and the woman would be no competition with the current NBA players. There are great woman players, but do you really think Candace Parker could face off with Dwight Howard? Or even Lisa Leslie with Dwight Howard? Not to mention the refs would be giving the women calls that no man would ever get simply because they are women. I love you ladies..but please don't.
So, it wouldn't be much different than having LeBron in the league then.
Geez, I don't get all the animosity. No one is saying to require a woman on each team, no one is saying to take someone who can't play. But, if you compare women's college basketball now with what you saw not that many years ago, the differences are stunning. The progress made by those athletes in a very short time is amazing. And who's to say where they might be in another ten years? All it might take is better early coaching and training. And if a woman is good enough, then why not? It is about winning, right? Not about upholding notions about who is supposed to be doing what and who isn't? Would it end up hurting women's basketball? Probably, and that would be too bad because overall all, as someone mentions above, size does matter, and only a small share of players might ever be women. So if only the very biggest and very best play, then lots of other players lose the chance to play in whatever the WNBA becomes. But about size - wasn't that 5'5" Earl Boykins going thorugh the Pistons' big men like a dose of salts last night? Surely you have to admit that there are any number of WNBA players right now who can bench press Spud Webb. The NBA would be ruined by women? Nonsense. Higher education wasn't, business wasn't, and neither was government. Sports won't be either.
WWNBA here we come! The fact that this came from the commissioner has officially started the countdown to when I cleanse myself of all things NBA.

Hi all, looking to buy my first grown up car having previously driven mostly Jap performance cars. Due to the daily commute and the wife being pregnant, we're looking at a 320d ES touring. Behaving done a little research, I believe it to be an E90. Although the car we are looking to get is registered as a 58 plate, the Glass's guide says it is an 05-06 model and as such, worth less than £8k. Can anyone please have a little look at the ad for the car and give informed opinions please.

The more I read the more fearful I got. All the "what if's", the cost, the magnitude of procedure, recovery, results.
I guess I have a bit of shame about having done it in the first place in a way. Not something I want everyone to know. I want them to be real! But I was ashamed to have super small breasts before. I'm ashamed to have these big bulbous hard things sticking out of my clothes at 56. People seem to think they look nice over all, but it' just feels unnatural.
My boyfriend of over 7 years has never even had a conversation with me about them one way or other. As far as I know he doesn't acknowledge they exist. I scheduled an appointment with my doctor of 23 years ago and I told him I was going to Sacramento for a doctors and he didn't even ask what for! (he's not a bad guy, just a little too laid back and disconnected). So I don't feel comfortable asking for his support really.
So I was feeling pretty confused. Still am. But I had my consultation with my doctor yesterday. He made me feel a bit more at ease over all.
His opinion is that things are much different from when I had them put in. The chance of capsular contracture is minimal now. So if I wanted to remove them and scar tissue and capsule and all, replace them with (if i did, I'd prefer smaller) new ones, the result would be good - most likely.
If I want to just remove them I would be quite flat chested, but my skin elasticity is still good and maybe a little more natural breast than at 29. Maybe? I forgot to ask about scarring and all. I hated having my nipples cut into before and had to have one reopened to "unfold" implant that wasn't dropping on it's own. It never has been quite right all these years since and then it just got hard. Geeze! give a girl a break!
He also assured me that I would be able to resume work in a reasonable time. Maybe 2 or even less weeks for my most physical job, and the other I could return sooner if I was careful.
He is going to send me pricing for options. Said he would give me a discount for being a former patient. I am sure I will still have a hard time justifying spending money on any of the options! It seems crazy to pay to do this to my body and then pay to undo it and cause all this damage to myself. I look at people who get unattractive or massive tattooing, pierce body parts with gauges that disfigure themselves and I don't get it. This feels similar.
He also assured me there is no real danger of illness from them being in if I want to just live with them as is.
So a lot to think about.

In 2004, during a terrorist attack in Belsan, Russian authorities completely fouled up operations which resulted in the death of over 300 people, including 150 children. Family and friends have been attempting for years to get some accurate answers to the disorganization and incompetence of police and military units whose inept performance led to tragic deaths. The Voice of Belsan was formed and it has been critical of the Putin government's performance. But, this is Putin, Russia. A court ordered the group to be disbanded because a former members, Marina Meilnikova, claimed to be its leader, not Ella Kerayeva.
Courts certainly have a place in assisting organizations to identify leadership, but this writer is confused. If the issue is leadership of the Voice of Belsan, why not simply insist on a new election and allow its members to clarify leadership? Perhaps, the issue has never been who is the leader, but, rather, how to stifle any organization which dares attack the purity and brilliance of the Putin government.

text: NBA EASTERN CONFERENCE FINALS: CAVALIERS v PISTONS CLEVELAND, OHIO: Practice Day May 25, 2007 Anderson Varejao Q. Maybe it's just because you're more active? Anderson Varejao: I try to be active all the time, trying to play like with energy, try to more stop against them, and also play more. When you play more, you have more chance for more stops. Q. Do you think you and Rasheed are building a rivalry? Do you think you guys are building that against each other in this series? Anderson Varejao: Building what? Q. Like a rivalry, like a competition between the two of you. Anderson Varejao: I have to guard him and he has to guard me. I don't know, just like I said, I don't think it's nothing personal, I just try to help the team. I try to guard him, I'm going to try to guard him hard. Q. He was talking about you flopping on that last play. Do you think you did? Anderson Varejao: I don't know, I was in good position to be at his ribs a lot, and the referees didn't make the call. Q. Are you surprised? Did you think you were going to get a foul called there? Anderson Varejao: I don't know, I just tried to try my best. I tried my best to be in good position and the ref didn't make the call, move on. Q. This series, the more you go on, it seems like at least one player on the other team gets tired of playing against you. It seems like you've been able to do that, you seem to irritate them with your style of play. You've done that your whole career really. Have you noticed that? Anderson Varejao: I don't know. I don't know if they get tired. I keep doing that, keep doing my job, and see what's going to happen. Q. Somewhere inside you does it make you happy when people talk about how much you bother them? Anderson Varejao: Well, I think where I come from we play like that all the time. It doesn't make me happy or unhappy, I just want to win the games.

Center for the Liberal Arts receives third grant from Arthur Vining Davis Foundations
The Center for the Liberal Arts is delighted to announce that it has, for the third time, received funding from the Arthur Vining Davis Foundations. The new three-year grant will allow CLA to refine the one-day and one-credit professional development programs it has offered for many years, targeting subjects that particularly require fresh professional development for teachers in Virginia; it will also give CLA opportunities for disseminating its model to other institutions, by inviting visiting faculty to participate in CLA programs at UVa and sending CLA faculty Project Directors to assist in the replication of these programs at the visiting faculty members' home institutions. Workshops and courses under the new grant will be offered beginning in Spring 2016.
CLA, Biology prof. Barry Condron, awarded grant by College of Arts and Sciences.
UVa's College and Graduate School of Arts and Sciences has awarded a grant to the Center for the Liberal Arts to work with Professor Barry Condron of the Department of Biology and adapt his popular "Survival Biology" course for K-12 teachers. The project is being supervised by CLA Project Director for the Sciences Edward Murphy, with the assistant of Professor Frackson Mumba of the Curry School of Education.

Dante workshop director's new book is Inferno Revealed.
Prof. Deborah Parker, whose CLA workshop on Dante teachers will remember from 2009, has published Inferno Revealed: From Dane to Dan Brown (Palgrave Macmillan) with Professor Mark Parker of James Madison University. UVa Professor Jerome McGann says this about the Parkers' new book: "In a prose that is arresting because it is so lucid and direct, Deborah and Mark Parker have written a book that explains the magic of Dante's famous Inferno. Their discussions of Beetlejuice, Seven, and Sandow Birk's illustrated Inferno are especially fine, as is their assessment of Dan Brown's recent best seller, which climaxes their book. What they write of Dante might well be adapted and applied to their own book: 'Part of Dante's genius lies in his extraordinary ability to reduce a complex situation to gestures that are still understood today.'"

Frequently Asked Questions
13. What is chemotherapy?
Chemotherapy is a cancer treatment that uses drugs to kill cancer cells. This is the most common treatment for most types of leukemia. Chemotherapy may be taken by mouth in pill form, by injection directly into a vein, or through a catheter. If leukemia cells are found in the fluid around the brain or spinal cord, the doctor may inject drugs directly into the fluid to ensure that the drugs reach the leukemia cells in the brain.

Last week we discussed the role of replication in maintaining the
consistency of the Active Directory (AD) partitions. This week, we look
at some of the details of the replication process, specifically the
update sequence numbers (USNs).
If an originating update (see last week's article for more info:
http://www.itworld.com/nl/win_this_wk/02162004/) is made to any
attributes of an object within the directory of a domain controller
(DC), then a counter called the USN is updated. DCs within your AD
domain use a USN to determine which updates need to be replicated. Every
attribute, object, and server has an individual USN and these USNs are
incremented when any attribute, object or server is updated.
This is easier illustrated with a simple example.
Assume that the phone number attribute on one of the user objects in
your AD was updated on a DC called DCServer1. After this updated is
made, DCServer1's USN is incremented to the next number, let's say 360.
After the default replication time of five minutes is reached, DCServer1
notifies DCServer2 that updates are available. Then DCServer2 requests
all updates greater than the USN it has for DCServer1, which is 359.
DCServer1 then checks to see which updates DCServer2 is requesting and
realizes that it needs the update represented by USN 360 and replicates
those updates to DCServer2. After DCServer2 commits the changes to its
directory, it updates DCServer1's USN to 360.
This process is slightly more complicated than the way it is described
above, but this gives you an accurate picture of the replication process
and how USNs allow AD to track changes made on different servers
throughout your environment, and to replicate them properly ensuring
consistency among all of the DCs supporting the directory.
Next week we will discuss how AD handles the same updates coming from
two different servers with a feature called propagation dampening.

New York State Drivers To Take A 'Text Stop'
Everyone knows that texting and driving is illegal and dangerous, but here's something that might help curb this dangerous situation. New York State Governor Andrew Cuomo has unveiled some special "texting zones" on the New York State Thruway and other state highways.
In a story on News 10 ABC on the Thruway, it was reported that there will be 300 "Text Stop" signs to give motorists a place to pull over, and park so they can use their mobile devices safely. This should help to eliminate some distracted driving. There's also more information on Governor Cuomo's website.
If you get pulled over for texting while driving, you could end up with fines of at least $150 and five points on your driver's license.

Mosley makes no immediate decision on his future after upset loss to Mundine
42-year-old future Hall of Famer Sugar Shane Mosley, who was stopped for the first time in his career in his fight against Anthony Mundine, won't make a decision on his boxing future until returning to America.
"I'll go home, check out the tape, and take a look at what's going on. I'll make my decision when I get home," said Shane, who was paid $1 million for coming to Australia to face Mundine. He also pocketed a non-refundable deposit of $300,000 last month when the bout against Mundine fell through at the last moment.
Mosley previously retired from the ring in June 2012 after losing to Canelo Alvarez, but came back in May of this year to defeat Pablo Cesar Cano before agreeing to take on Mundine.

Cats in Gainesville Need Loving Homes
GAINESVILLE- Puppy Hill Farm Animal Rescue is hosting the Furball Fiesta Adoptathon this weekend at the Gainesville Petsmart.
They expect to have more than 150 kittens there, all needing a good and loving home. They will all be offered at a reduced rate of $25. All of the kittens have been given all of their shots, microchipped and spayed or neutered.
Laurie Trenholm, a volunteer with Puppy Hill, says cats are attracted to the florida heat, so most of the ferrel and outdoor cats mate during this time. she reminds us to get our animals spayed or neutered to limit this issue.
Puppy Hill Farm is also offering puppies and adult dogs for a special reduced rate this weekend. Both the Alachua County's Humane Society and Animal Services are at capacity.
The Humane Society currently houses 61 cats and Animal Services has 127.
The furball fiesta will go until sunday at 5pm at the Petsmart on Archer road.
