Preshow Lectures
Fridays at 6:30 pm & Sundays at 1 pm
Dramaturg Bethany Wood will present a preshow lecture providing background on "She Loves Me." You might not know Hungarian-American playwright Miklos Laszlo or his play "Parfumerie," but you've likely seen one of its descendents. This remarkably pliable play was variously adapted into the movies "The Shop Around the Corner" (with Jimmy Stewart), "In the Good Old Summertime" (with Judy Garland), "You've Got Mail" (with Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan) and the 1963 musical "She Loves Me" (book by Joe Masteroff, music by Jerry Bock, lyrics by Sheldon Harnick). Join her for a pre-show discussion of the theatrical and historical context of this delightful musical.
Lead support for the production has been provided by the Pleasant Rowland Fund for Theater, a component of the Madison Community Foundation. Additional grant funds were received from Wisconsin Arts Board, and Dane Arts. Thank you to Full Compass and Park Printing Solution for their in kind support.

Unrealised Architectural works exist in many guises, modest & grand, sculptural & pragmatic. Many realised architectural works are actually the remnants of an ideal unrealised design. Others are the conceptual seeds that germinate into works found in all areas of the arts.
The value of great architecture, be it in its initial imaginative stages or in the final scheme, lies in the force and power of its possibilities and ability to inspire. The focus in this exhibition is to present a variety of unrealised works which range in both perspective and application. Works from landscape, interior and architectural designers stand amongst that of painters, photographers and sculptors, each of which respond to the architectural possibilities of their own practice.
The projects presented here share the theme "Unrealised Architecture". The displays include architectural projects that have fallen short of the expectations of the architect and/or client; works that scour the landscape for new forms and practices; models that research lost construction arts; considerations of structures that play with time; concepts for inner-urban space that revitalise community interaction and excursions into the future possibilities of architectural composition and realisation in the contemporary metropolis.

Uproar thwarts giant luxury suitcase exhibit on Red Square
By Ian Bateson
MOSCOW (Reuters) - Matthias Rust shocked the Soviet Union when the young German landed a small plane on Red Square in 1987. This week, a giant symbol of mammon appeared in Russia's most venerated public place and traditionalists were not amused.
President Vladimir Putin's government found itself struggling on Wednesday to contain an uproar over a gigantic Louis Vuitton suitcase set up to house an exhibit on the travel and possessions of the rich and famous.
Communists denounced the suitcase-shaped pavilion - placed mere steps from the Kremlin and the mausoleum of Bolshevik revolutionary leader Vladimir Lenin - as an evocative symbol of the conspicuous consumption that has enveloped Russia since the 1991 break-up of the Soviet Union.
"I am ashamed of our country for putting a suitcase on its main square, this sacred area that should be protected by the state," said Valery Rashkin, a Communist member of the State Duma, the lower parliament house. He called it an "eyesore".
The protests appeared to work, for by late on Wednesday evening, a sign on a fence surrounding the structure said it was being dismantled - though the structure remained intact.
Despite straps on the pavilion in the colors of the Russian flag, the image of a Western luxury good only the richest can afford jarred with Putin's appeals to patriotism in the face of what he calls foreign threats to Russian culture.
His standing somewhat dented by protests by liberal city dwellers in 2011-12, Putin has championed the kind of rank-and-file, provincial Russians for whom a trip to Moscow and a stroll on Red Square is a rare treat.
Putin loyalists in his United Russia party also railed against the outsized suitcase, and nationalist Vladimir Zhirinovsky said on Tuesday that it should be moved to a more remote part of Moscow. Continued...

Home > Events and News > Op-eds > Public-Housing Parking Lots Make Everyone Poorer
(Corrects 11th paragraph to say New York City attempted to impose a congestion pricing plan in 2008.)
On First Avenue in Manhattan, right before the 96th Street entrance of FDR Drive, there is a large open parking lot, in front of the Stanley M. Isaacs Houses, a public-housing project.
The residents of New York's public housing pay no more than $45 a month for reserved parking, which is a pretty good deal because daily parking fees in midtown Manhattan average $40.
I find it somewhat bizarre that New York provides a luxury good -- parking in Manhattan -- to public-housing residents at almost no cost. But many government policies favor parking.
In much of the U.S., including New York outside of Manhattan, land-use regulations require new developments to build a minimum number of parking spaces. Employers can provide their workers with as much as $240 a month in parking as an untaxed fringe benefit. In New York, tens of thousands of public workers still receive free parking permits, and watchdog groups claim many of them are used illegally. Street parking is often provided at low or no cost in cities where every square foot is precious.
Parking for public housing sits in the middle of three separate problems: the scarcity of on-street parking, the congestion of city streets, and poverty. The first problem -- lack of supply -- has led to the minimum-space regulations and has justified subsidies. These policies, in turn, encourage extra driving, and each new motorist imposes congestion costs on other drivers, and pollution and infrastructure costs on everyone else.
Modern Privilege
But taking this benefit away from the most vulnerable city residents would seem to single them out and amount to expropriation.
In the early days of the automobile, leaders of American cities were loath to give away valuable space, and curbside parking was often banned. For example, according to a recent survey of parking policies, "Parking was banned in 'The Loop,' Chicago's Central Business District, in 1928, and overnight parking was banned in Manhattan, New York City, until the late 1940s." Into the 1970s and early 1980s, when I was a kid in Manhattan, cars and parking spaces seemed both unaffordable and unnecessary.
But motorists and business owners wanted low-cost parking, and they got it, and drivers, rich and poor, grew used to cheap or free street space. Metered parking in Manhattan now runs at $3 an hour, which is far less than the value of 100 square feet of city land, or the cost of off-street parking, which is typically $20 for the first hour.
New building means more drivers and more competition for street parking. The land-use regulations in cities, including New York, that require minimum parking areas for new construction artificially boost the supply of spaces. The parking subsidies for public-housing projects do the same thing.
But such policies worsen the traffic problem by lowering the total cost of a car trip. When I drive, I slow down other motorists, and if I don't pay that price, I'll drive too much.
The sensible approach is to follow the lead of London and Singapore and charge drivers for the costs of traffic congestion. Electronic congestion pricing was first dreamed up for New York in 1952 by William Vickrey. But the politics of congestion pricing are so impossible that I doubt we will ever see much of it in the U.S., except on newly built roads and highways. New York's most recent attempt to impose a congestion pricing plan was killed by the state Legislature in 2008.
Employee Subsidies
Unsurprisingly, employees who have access to subsidized parking drive to work more often. The national tax code should stop giving any deductions for parking expenses. Eliminating the traffic deduction may have the added benefit of narrowing the U.S. budget deficit by more than $3 billion a year, according to one study.
New York, and everywhere else, should stop requiring developers to provide a fixed number of parking spaces. Downtown Manhattan switched its land-use regulations from minimum parking requirements to maximum parking allowances in 1982, but the other boroughs still have minimum parking rules, and they appear to significantly increase the costs of new construction.
We can't punitively tax parking, as a backdoor means of discouraging traffic, because, without congestion pricing, drivers will be encouraged to circle, rather than pay more, and that's also bad. But parking isn't some crucial public good, such as medical knowledge, that needs subsidizing. Let the market determine the supply and the price.
The parking guru Donald Shoup, a professor at the University of California, Los Angeles, argues that meter rates should be set high enough so that 15 percent of parking spaces stay vacant at any time, which represents something like a market-clearing price. That price would ensure that drivers looking for street parking could count on getting a spot, which would reduce the time wasted and congestion created by drivers cruising for spaces.
A market solution could work for public-sector parking, as well. There is little to like about free parking for city employees. But it is a bit abrupt to remove their privileges, and the Public Employment Relations Board won't let that happen anyway.
One path forward is to buy the workers out, giving them the option of selling their parking benefits back to the city for cash. If the employees have the option of being paid not to use their space, then they will face a trade-off that recognizes its real cost.
The same approach makes sense for public-housing residents. Let them give their parking spaces back to the city in exchange for cash. The city can rent the space at full market rates to whoever will pay, and give the net proceeds back to the resident. The resident who takes the deal will be better off. Even if we didn't want to be that generous, we could still give the residents some compensation for giving up the space.
When public-housing parking spaces fall empty, they should be rented at market rates, and the earnings should be shared among the projects' residents or spent on common amenities. If enough spaces are freed up, the city should continue allowing more building on parking lots. Land on the island of Manhattan is enormously valuable, and should never be given away.
But we can eliminate subsidized parking in a fair and reasonable way, by allowing current beneficiaries to get some of the cash generated by more efficient use of city space.

Re: Ploting a changing constant
Mary Beth,
Plot allows a list of functions to plot. This can be generated by Table but
you must Evaluate the Table statement.
y[x_, a_] := a x
Plot[Table[y[x, a], {a, 10, 50, 10}] // Evaluate, {x, 0, 33}];
I would like to call 'a' a parameter and I would tend to define such a
(different) function in the following manner.
y[a_][x_] := x^a
Then you can easily write the derivative of the function as...
2 x
If you wanted to plot a series of curves with different values of a, but not
necessarily evenly spaced, then you could use MapThread. Here is an example.
Plot[MapThread[y[#][x] &, {{0, 0.2, 0.5, 1, 2, 5}}] // Evaluate, {x, 0, 1},
Frame -> True];
If you wanted to plot the derivatives then you could use...
Plot[MapThread[y[#]'[x] &, {{0, 0.2, 0.5, 1, 2, 5}}] // Evaluate, {x, 0, 1},
PlotRange -> {0, 4},
Frame -> True];
David Park
djmp at earthlink.net
From: Mary Beth Mulcahy [mailto:Mary.Mulcahy at colorado.edu]
To: mathgroup at smc.vnet.net
OK, so this has to be an easy one. I am trying to plot a function several
for a variety of values of a constant. For example:
y[x_, a_]:=a*x
I want to plot a=10, a=20 overlaying one another. Currently I simply
the equation however many times I need to change the variable. For example:
DisplayTogether[Plot[y[x, 10], {x, 0, 33}],Plot[y[x,20], {x, 0,
33}],Plot[y[x,30], {x, 0, 33}],Plot[y[x,40], {x, 0, 33}],Plot[y[50], {x, 0,
I'm plotting this equation 15 times with a increasing in steps of ten.
Seems to
me there should be a single command to do this rather than cut and paste 10
times (and then go back in to change the variable by hand). Something like
Sum[] where you can state the beginingvalue, end value and step size.
Thanks for the help.

…it with one of those salads I have been loving recently with pears and hazelnuts. This was a great light lunch.
The temperature this evening wasn't too terribly cold, so Joe offered to grill some of his yummy burgers, which was fine with me. He used Laura's Lean Beef too, so they were nice and lean, but still flavorful. We put them on whole wheat buns and added some cheese and lots of veggies.
Joe also grilled some green beans and mushrooms for a side, and while he was doing all the grilling, I baked some "fries" which I topped with just a pinch of freshly grated parmesan cheese for a little treat-delish!

Student Orientation
Starting with the Fall 2012 semester, students will be required to complete the RCC Moodle Student Orientation Course in order to register for an online class (Sections 40-49). Once you are accepted at RCC, you are given a Moodle account and are automatically enrolled in the Orientation course, so you can complete the course immediately.
There are some groups who will be excluded from this requirement, though completion of the orientation is still recommended. Those who are excluded include the following:
- Students who have already completed the orientation, and received their certificates.
- Students who have successfully completed an online course (Sections 40-49) using Moodle between Spring 2011 and Spring 2012.
Any students who do not meet one of the above qualifications will have to successfully complete the orientation before they will be permitted to register for an online course.
Once you log into Moodle, you will see the course listed in your courses. If it is not there, you can enroll yourself in the course. The link above will take you directly to the course. Since you'll be enrolled in the course, you can complete the activities and submit them. This will help us to determine who has and who has not completed the required orientation course.
Once you complete the course, submit the Academic Integrity Policy assignment and earn at least 80% on the Orientation quiz, you will earn a certificate which declares you have successfully complete the Orientation. You can print this certificate or e-mail it to your instructors. Once your completion has been processed, you'll be able to enroll in online courses through WebAdvisor.

Good morning. The economy will again be a top subject today, as the Senate continues work on its $888 billion version of the economic stimulus plan. The House passed its $819 billion measure last evening.
Also today, President Obama is scheduled to sign the "Ledbetter Bill." The legislation reverses a Supreme Court ruling that said plaintiffs alleging wage discrimination must make their claims within 180 days of when the alleged discrimination began -- even if the disparity wasn't discovered until long after.
The law is named for Lilly Ledbetter, a former Goodyear worker who saw her discrimination claim dismissed and filed the case that ended up before the Supreme Court. She is due to be at the 10 a.m. ET bill signing, in the East Room of the White House.
This afternoon, Obama has separate meetings with Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner and Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton.
As for stories making headlines this morning, they include:
• The Washington Post -- "Buy American" rules in stimulus plan spark debate: "The stimulus bill passed by the House last night contains a controversial provision that would mostly bar foreign steel and iron from the infrastructure projects laid out by the $819 billion economic package. ... Proponents of expanding the 'Buy American' provisions enacted during the Great Depression, including steel and iron manufacturers and labor unions, argue that it is the only way to ensure that the stimulus creates jobs at home and not overseas. Opponents, including some of the biggest blue-chip names in American industry, say it amounts to a declaration of war against free trade. That, they say, could spark retaliation from abroad against U.S. companies and exacerbate the global financial crisis."
• ABC News -- After no GOP support in House, administration looks for some in Senate and for final version: "The Senate is designing a version (of the economic stimulus plan) that totals about $900 billion. Encouraged by Obama's outreach, both sides are hopeful that more Republicans will support the final version when differences in the two bills are negotiated by the House and Senate."
• The Wall Street Journal -- Tax cuts fulfill campaign pledge: "The stimulus bill's tax breaks for individuals will put money in the hands of people likely to spend it quickly, proponents believe -- and fulfill a major campaign promise by President Barack Obama."
• The Guardian -- State Department is preparing letter to Iran: "Officials of Barack Obama's administration have drafted a letter to Iran from the president aimed at unfreezing US-Iranian relations and opening the way for face-to-face talks, the Guardian has learned."
Update at 2:38 p.m. ET: "Neither the president nor the secretary of State has requested or seen such a letter," White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said a few minutes ago when he was asked about the Guardian report.
• Los Angeles Times -- As Mitchell makes rounds, Israeli-Palestinian fight seems "hopelessly deadlocked": "George J. Mitchell, the new U.S. envoy to the Middle East, arrived in Israel on Wednesday to begin testing his axiom that there's no such thing as a conflict that cannot be ended. Yet even as Israeli and Palestinian leaders offered ideas on how the Obama administration can help bring about peace, the prevailing mood on both sides was that their decades-old fight had become almost hopelessly deadlocked."
• The New York Times -- From no coats to later starts, White House is less formal these days: The Times runs through some of the stylistic differences between President Obama and his predecessor, including his habit so far of not getting to the Oval Office until around 9 a.m., about two hours later than George W. Bush did, and the end of the coat-and-tie rule in that office. Also, on weekends staff is allowed to wear "business casual" attire. Bush did not relax the rules on Saturday and Sunday.
• Politico -- When Obama wants to emphasize a point, he takes things into his own hands: "Joe Lieberman has felt it. So has Joe the Plumber. It's the Obama Touch -- the squeeze on the biceps, the pat on the shoulder or the tap on the back that signals the displeasure of the commander in chief. Let others turn on the deep freeze or lose their cool when they're annoyed. Obama prefers to deal with problems by taking them in hand -- literally.

I have In-Ovation braces (something similar to Damon braces). 6 on the top and 6 on the bottom are ceramic/clear and the rest are metal.
I started to notice the difference after about a month and a half. They look great. Nothing has broken so far.
I'm 4 months into my treatment (20 months more) and I got them when I was almost 18 years old.

The majority of Togo's women and children live much like Washington
entrepreneur Olowo-n'djo Tchala lived throughout his childhood, crowded
into tiny homes and forced to eke out a paltry existence from the land.
Thanks to Tchala's smart use of one of Togo's most abundant resources,
however, that is changing. His U.S.-based company, Alafia, employs over
4,500 Togolese workers in the manufacture of shea butter, a prized
ingredient in many beauty products sold in the West.
While the quest for reparations may be null and void in the U.S. it
seems to have received a fresh spurt of action from Caribbean leaders.
Economies throughout Africa are now improving, giving the continent a
boost out of the poverty with which it has been stricken for much of
recent history. In fact, gross domestic product itself is growing
quickly according to a new report released by the African Development
Bank. The report states that among African countries, approximately one
out of three now possesses GDP growth rates that exceed 6 percent.
As the world waits for Nelson Mandela's health to improve, President
Barack Obama is on a weeklong trip visiting several African nations.
Yesterday while in Senegal, the president discussed trade opportunities,
progress and China's interest in expanding trade and commerce.
According to a new report conducted by a Ghanaian professor, remittances
from Africans living outside the Continent sent to family back in
Africa surpasses more than foreign aid payments by nearly $10 billion,
the BBC reports.
Africa's richest man, Aliko Dangote, has announced he will spend up to $8 billion to build a Nigerian oil refinery.
Founded in May 2012, the Joyful Joy Foundation (JJF) hopes to bring joy--and health to various countries in Africa.
U.S. Representative Yvette D. Clarke of Brooklyn, NY, this week called
on the Obama Administration and her colleagues in Congress to expand the
face of immigration beyond the Latino (Spanish speaking) community, and
to recognize the African Diaspora that exists in the U.S.
As the Prime Minister of Jamaica addressed her heavily
indebted nation last month, she vowed to balance both the books and
people's lives.
Africa has long craved a larger presence from America. Now, the Obama administration has announced the Doing Business in Africa campaign.

Suit over Palm Desert detention death revived
PALM DESERT, Calif. - A panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has reinstated an excessive-force lawsuit against Riverside County involving the death of a mentally disturbed man after he was restrained by Palm Desert police.
The lawsuit was brought by the mother of 48-year-old Robert Albert Appel, who died in 2010 after police responding to a 911 call found him incoherent in his driveway and attempted to take him into custody, kneeling on him as he thrashed about.
After the jury deadlocked, U.S. District Judge Otis D. Wright II ruled in favor of the county, which provides police services to Palm Desert.
A three-judge panel of the appeals court said Thursday that evidence suggested that Wright improperly relied on his personal experience as a former police officer and not on testimony.

Mollusks (from the Latin word molluscus, meaning "soft") are a phylum of invertebrates with over 50,000 known species.
There are seven classes of mollusks:
- Gastropoda (e.g., abalone and conch)
- Bivalvia (e.g., oysters and clams)
- Cephalopoda (e.g., octopus and squid)
- Aplacophora (worm-like mollusks)
- Monoplacophora (only mollusk with a segmented internal structure)
- Polyplacophora (e.g., chitons)
- Scaphopoda (e.g., tusk shells)
The majority of mollusks (including abalone) are of the Class Gastropoda, whose name translates from Latin as "stomach foot." Mollusks are soft-bodied animals that may have a hard external shell (composed by secreting calcium carbonate), a hard internal shell, or no shell at all. Mollusks are taxonomically related to annelids (segmented worms) and pogonophora (deep-sea tube worms).
Marine Plants
There are several categories of marine plants, including seagrasses, mangroves, and algae. Seagrasses, such as Johnson's seagrass, are true flowering plants that have adapted to life in the marine environment. Most seagrasses reproduce via pollination (similar to many terrestrial plants) and are found in coastal marine areas. Mangroves are also true flowering plants and are found in coastal waters of varying salinities. Algae are not true flowering plants and range in size from microscopic phytoplankton to large seaweed species.
Brachiopods are bottom-dwelling, filter-feeding invertebrates whose name translates from Latin as "arm feet." Brachiopods are sessile (stationary, attached), and were the first sessile animals to surround their bodies with a solid external shell. They appear similar to clams on the outside, but have a unique anatomy. Most brachiopods attach to substrate using a muscular stalk (or pedicle) and feed using an appendage called a lophophore. The brachiopoda phylum is common in the fossil record, and brachiopods were extremely abundant in the Paleozoic era. Their numbers were greatly reduced during the Permo-Triassic mass extinction approximately 250 million years ago, and today there are approximately 300 living species of brachiopods. Brachiopods are taxonomically related to bryozoans, or lace corals.
There are two main classes of brachiopod: Inarticulata (e.g., inarticulated brachiopod) and Articulata.
Main Factors for Decline
- Abalone: overharvesting, low population density, loss of genetic diversity, disease, poaching, and natural predation
- Queen Conch: unsustainable harvest
- Plants: habitat alteration due to human and natural perturbations, and degradation of water quality due to nutrient enrichment
- Coral: disease outbreaks since 1980; habitat degradation and modification due to sedimentation; increased predation; hurricanes; pollution; alien species; invasive green algae; limited distribution; damage from mechanical fishing gear, anchors, fish pots, divers, and swimmers; and coral bleaching
- Brachiopods: habitat degradation and alteration, overexploitation, pollution and sedimentation, vulnerable life history characteristics, and limited distribution

June rains help relieve drought in US plains states
GRN Reports:
Rains have relieved drought conditions across a major portion of the US, though not in critically dry California.
Here's a synopsis of what the US Drought Monitor – a collaboration of agencies is reporting.
- In the Midwest, widespread rains totaling up to three inches fell throughout early June, relieving drought across Iowa and southern Minnesota. Nebraska also got some relief, though rains were less widespread there and significant parts of the state remain abnormally or moderately dry.
- Illinois and Missouri received less rain overall (ranging from 1.5 to nearly 5 inches), but it was enough to recharge soil moisture and remove large areas of those states from being classed as "abnormally dry" or in moderate drought. In general, topsoil moisture improved across this region, but officials have reported that deeper down, fields remain short of moisture.
- Kansas wasn't as fortunate, while rains helped reduce drought intensity in the eastern half of the state, the west continues to suffer, with "long-term subsoil moisture deficits" challenging growers.
- In Texas, rainfall of 2-3 inches in the east helped lift parts of that region from being listed as abnormally dry. Drought conditions improved in the Panhandle and Oklahoma, as rains ranging from 1-3 inches helped relieve the "exceptional drought" gripping much of that area. Areas categorized as suffering exception and extreme drought were reduced in the Texas panhandle, western Oklahoma and southeastern Colorado.
The beneficial rains have not been sufficient to lift the deeper drought and dry subsoil conditions across western Oklahoma and Texas. These areas still considered "quite dry" with more than 60 percent of the local reports indicating fields are very short or short of moisture. Western Texas remains in similar straits.
The bottomline: More rain is needed across western Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas and in New Mexico and southeastern Colorado to return to "normal" growing conditions.
In the West, drought conditions in California, Nevada and Arizona remain critical, with a continued lack of rain. Dry conditions have expanded into southern Idaho, potentially affected crops there, and have become more serious in Arizona, where year-to-year rain is less than 50 percent of average and the risk of brush fires is considered high.

A customer of mine sent over some pickled quays, and they were really good, but I have no idea what they are. Anyone know?
D. Clay
Hmm as far as I know its like a jetty. Are you sure that's the right spelling? Googling it doesn't bring up anything about fruit/veg.
What do they look like? That might help. why do i think quail eggs? I don't really know, just a wild guess
I found a recipe online for pickled quays, but in the recipe it said to slice the quay and remove the seeds. The pickled quays I got are green rings of some sort of vegetable. They are the size of an old US silver dollar and look like gear cogs. There are some pieces in there that are smaller, giving me the impression that it might have been some sort of cucumber or squash. The customer dropped them off at my office then left, then someone in the office brought them to me so I didn't have the chance to ask what they were. I am going to ask my customer what they are the next time I see her, but that could be days from now. On the jar where she included the ingredients, she listed quay. Thanks for the help.
D. Clay
I've checked all my references, and can't find it under cucumbers, melons, or squashes. Doesn't mean much, though, as there are hundreds of varieties that fit.
From your description, however, I'd guess that they are either a Russian or Japanese cucumber or pickling melon.
Be nice if your customer knows what they are.
Sounds like an armenian cucumber. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armenian_cucumber These are often pickled and quite tasty.
This forum thread supports my claim equating quays to the Armenian cucumber
One of my first thoughts, Phil, was that they were Armenian Cukes (aka, serpent cucumber, snake cucumber), which, of course, are really melons.
However, none of my references use quay as a synonym, which is why I suspect a lesser known Russian or Japanese variety. Or maybe even one from any of the Indian Ocean islands.
Of course, the way things go, "quay" is probably some foreign word that merely translates as "pickle."
Hmm. Where have you seen this term, precisely? I'm wondering about the spelling.
See, if this were printed in mainland China today, I would pronounce the word "chooway," roughly. If I saw it coming from maybe Hong Kong and an older label, I'd pronounce it "kway." If it's Japanese, I'd be up a creek, because there's nothing obviously parallel at all. And so it goes.
But the point is, the two Chinese terms, que and kuei are totally different. In roughly the same way as, let's say, "eye" and "aim" are different in English. And they could be transcribed into English in remarkably different ways. And, of course, that's just assuming Mandarin, which is a very bad assumption with imported foods, so many of which still come from Cantonese or Fukienese-speaking areas. So if one could narrow down roughly how it's supposed to sound, or at least what language it's supposed to be coming from, we might have reasonable odds of pinning it down.
I had forgotten about this thread. My wife is involved with a folk dance group that focuses on eastern Europe, Turkey, etc. One of her friends grew some Armenian cucumbers and gave us some last year. Of course I pickled them - one batch kind of sweet, one rather spicy - very good!

Not seeking vengeance but justice
Dear Editor,
Suddenly the love of my life was snatched away leaving me in grief, with a sense of hopelessness, and very confused. This man, my husband, was so kind, loving and devoted, he placed so much value on his family and other people, yet his life was snuffed out as though he had no value whatsoever.
My husband never wanted me to be employed; he worked so that I could be a full-time mom and wife, and now his death has plunged me and my two daughters aged eleven and two into a state of despair. The negligence of the people who operated the boats have left life-time scars and indelible grief and a child who will never know her father.
I feel for the others who have lost loved ones and are left as widows, the children like orphans (fatherless) and mothers without sons who might have been the breadwinners.
My husband was coming out to continue the construction of our house, and this would have been the first time of the year that we would have seen him, but alas, January 22 was the day that changed our lives. His labour for his family is gone with him; there is no money to complete the house he so dearly wanted us to have, and who is going to step in and assist us in this time of need? No more would my husband be around the one he loves − no more smiles, no more comforting words − all is gone forever. He wanted to surprise us, but we got the worst kind of surprise on that fateful day.
I am left in a strange world; nothing around seems familiar any more, except the bills that still must be paid. No creditor would have any sympathy, even at a time as hard as this.
No price can be placed on the value of such a husband, even if criminal charges are to be brought against the errant operators. I believe anyone found culpable must be made to compensate those of us who have been robbed of the main breadwinner of the family.
The psychological effect this is having on us is debilitating to say the least, but justice must be carried out in the name of the Lord. I am not seeking vengeance, but justice − and please can someone do something to stop the carnage on our waters.
Rest in peace my husband Deon Moses, we love you forever.
Yours faithfully,
June Moses

Sony VPL-AW15 Bravia Home Theater Projector – Overview
Overall, I found shadow details on the Sony (after adjusting brightness, contrast and grayscale), to be very good for a sub-$1500 projector, but not exceptional. It has been a long time since I had my hands on the Sanyo PLV-Z5, but after flipping through notes and images, I would have to give the Sanyo the slight advantage. Conversely, the Sony should have the advantage over the Epson Home Cinema 400, a slightly more expensive projector (but brighter). On mixed scenes (lots of dark and bright areas) I would give the advantage to the DLP projectors, like the HD73 and Mitsubishi HC3000, although not by a great margin.
This standard DVD image from Sin City, shows the Sony doing a good job in displaying dark area detail on the walls and cabinets, but lacking shadow detail in some of the darkest areas.
If you want to see an almost "night and day" difference, compare with the same image on some of the better 1080p projectors, like Sony's own VW50 Pearl, or the JVC RS1!
One of my favorite newer images for black levels and shadow detail comes from Space Cowboys (Blu-Ray), and shows Clint Eastwood, in a very dark room (only lit by a desk lamp.
While overall the Sony AW15 did well in terms of balance, and gamma, you can see that it really can't rival some of the best at black levels, and much of the limited detail on the back wall is lost, or weak.
Lastly, here is the "table" image from Aeon Flux, a good scene with plenty of shadow detail, especially in the table itself, you can see shadows and lighter areas in the dark table surface.
Sony VPL-AW15 Bravia - Image Sharpness
The Sony did not appear to me, as being quite as sharp as the Sanyo PLV-Z5, and I would overall put it down as similar to the Epson Home Cinema 400, though perhaps a touch sharper. I should note, at this point, that for the sharpness images, 1080p was output from my Blu-Ray PlayStation3, and the Sony handled the downscaling to 720p.
Clicking on the thumbnail below provides a highly cropped closeup of the DTS logo. The thumbnail below it, will show you the logo, shot using the Optoma HD73 DLP projector, which has the same resolution.
The Sony provides a look of slightly greater sharpness, but, as you can see, the pixel structure in this closeup, is far more evident on the Sony AW15, than with the Optoma HD73. I believe you are looking at the usual trade-off. LCD projectors give the impression of more sharpness, by virtue of their more visible (or almost visible) pixel structure). The Optoma provides a smoother, less jagged look to the text and graphics.

- A 300-pound black bear raided a family's campsite, and the father saved his sons from harm by throwing a log at the beast, killing it with a single blow.
Chris Everhart and his three sons were camping in the Chattahoochee National Forest in northern Georgia when the encounter happened Saturday.
The bear took the family's cooler and was heading back to the woods when the youngest son, 6-year-old Logan, hurled a shovel at it.
The bear then dropped the cooler and started coming at the boy, said his father.
Fearing what might happen next, Everhart, an ex-Marine , grabbed the closest thing he could find - a log from their stash of firewood.
"(I) threw it at it and it happened to hit the bear in the head," Everhart said. "I thought it just knocked it out but it actually ended up killing the bear."
"We've not had an attack in Georgia," Riddleberger said. "The key thing to learn from this is if there's a bear around, do not have your garbage or food available.
If we manage our food, we won't have bears around."
The attack happened the same weekend that an 11-year-old boy was killed by a black bear while camping in a forest in Utah.
Sam Ives was found mauled to death after he was pulled screaming from his tent in the Uinta National Forest, about 30 miles southeast of Salt Lake City.
Authorities said it was the first recorded fatal attack by a black bear in that state.
His family said there was no food in the tent to attract a bear.

Mother nature must be getting really ticked off...
You know, a normal person, when assaulted by a large, carnivorous bear that would like to turn their family into lunch, would use a firearm, of a very large caliber. Leave it to the Marines to not only bring a stick to a gunfight..but win with the stick
Glad everything turned out ok for the family though.
We are getting much higher numbers of black bear round my area - enough that I have begun to actually stay alert to the potential for problems.
The former marine sure could throw a stick

If you want to retain all your teeth never EVER refer to a FORMER MARINE as an "EX-MARINE" They think of that in the same terms of addressing somebody as an EX-CON. Personally I've not got a problem with ummmm ExSoldiers!

WoW...a mans gotta do what a mans gotta do.
We had an incident here where a bear was tearing up stuff in this guys campsite. He was in a small 16" foot trailer and staying there while visiting relatives. This bear dumped his trash, scattered it all over, got in the guys coolers and trashed them and generally made itself a nuisance. He called the Game and Fish and complained.
They just told him to manage his food better and it would go away.
Unfortunately, they forgot to tell that to the bear. The guy stayed with some of his kinfolk for a few days and when he got back the bear had trashed the trailer. Every thing edible was gone, even some cans of food had been smashed and eaten. He called the G&F again and the response was not the response he wanted to hear, they just kind of waved him off.
So he cleans up the mess and a few days later the bear shows up again...this time he is there. To scare the bear off, he fires a shotgun up in the air and got the desired effect. That bear turned right around and ran full speed into a large oak tree, breaking its neck and killing it instantly.
He calls the Game Warden and tells him to come get the bear. Warden gets there and writes him a rather hefty ticket for killing a bear out of season. The guy argues with him and the warden looks for a bullet hole in the hide but there is none. Still, he gives the guy a court date.
The guy shows up in court and argues that he did not kill the bear..the bear killed itself. The warden argues that the actions of the man killed the bear. The guy argues that he called the Game and Fish several times and yet they did nothing. Warden claims that he killed a bear out of season which is something like a 5000 dollar fine and loss of hunting rights for two years.
The Judge throws it out and said that the bear killed itself and that it had it not been a ''problem" bear that it would still be alive. He also suggests that had the Game and Fish responded properly that they would have trapped the bear and released it elsewhere that the whole thing would not have evolved into wasting his time in court.
Sometimes the truth can be stranger that fiction.

text: I just went out to 7-11 to get a snack (Snapple mint iced-tea and nachos) and it was 7 degrees outside. I knew it was supposed to be cold, but damn. I had a t-shirt and my leather jacket on and that was it. Went to open my car door, and had to wrestle with it for a second to get it open. I can't wait to get down to Florida, so I don't have to deal with this anymore. To anyone here on the Eastern Seaboard in the Northern Tri-state area, I would seriously think twice abotu driving anywhere right now, unless you want to freeze to death waiting for the car to warm up. It's sucks too, becuase the 7-11 is like a block away from me, so the coolatn temp barely moves at all. All I've got to keep from freezing is my asswarmer......and that's nowhere near enough heat.:annoyed:

The conference is the Big East, but might as well change it's name to "The Beast" (plus, you'd have to like the marketing opportunities associated with that). For the most recent week, the Big East has six schools that are ranked, with two others receiving votes. Three of those teams are Top 10 (Villanova, Syracuse and West Virginia). The next three are top 20 (Georgetown, Connecticut, Pittsburgh) with Notre Dame and Marquette also receiving votes.
The fact the UC Bearcats were ranked at one point puts them in pretty good company and the fact is, there's some pretty competitive teams that aren't ranked. UC has beaten Connecticut and Wisconsin who are ranked and Vanderbilt (who was ranked at the time). Factor in the non-call in Hawaii against Yancy Gates vs. Gonzaga and that could be four ranked teams that lost to the Bearcats.
Elsewhere, you have Notre Dame with 14 wins, Louisville has 12 (and had #4 Villanova on the ropes at Freedom Hall) Providence, Seton Hall, Marquette and South Florida are all in double digits in wins. Rutgers has nine victories and the only team that's under .500 is DePaul which just fired their coach, Jerry Wainwright.
The message here: every game is an all-out war. Just as you hear other conferences argue in football about their "teams in the middle", the "also-rans" in the Big East aren't teams that you should overlook.
"You're going to have close games," said Coach Mick Cronin. "There's going to be a lot of close games, it's not going to change. The teams in this league are too competitive, even the team's that aren't the so-called, best teams are extremely competitive."
Case in point, after UC knocked off UConn at Fifth Third Arena, their following road game at Rutgers was anything but a cakewalk. Then, after a near miss at home against Pitt, there was a game that got away back in New Jersey against Seton Hall.
There simply are no breaks. Following Seton Hall with St. John's on the road barely gives you a breather.
"We're talking about St. John's, put them in the Atlantic-10 and tell me what their record would be," questioned Cronin. "They beat Siena--they were ranked Top 20 in the preseason--at a neutral site. They beat Temple, who many people say is the best team in the Atlantic 10. They won on the road at Rhode Island. They lose at Duke by seven. It's not like they're not a capable team. The problem is we all play in the Big East."
No one likes excuses and everyone likes results, but you have to admit there are no pushover certain wins in this league. Heck, the worst team this season was the team that bounced the Bearcats out of the Big East tournament last year (DePaul).
"When you play Big East basketball, there's so many good players in our league," said Cronin. "Even the teams that aren't the best teams have good players. They may not have as many as the top four or five, but they do have good players, they're going to play well in stretches. The key is weathering the storm and staying focused and playing through it, which has been an issue for us at times."
That issue comes with youth. Like it or not, it's a team with two seniors, Deonta Vaughn and Steve Toyloy. While the underclassmen are immensely talented, they're not battle-tested which is a must to succeed in the Big East. Sure, Rashad Bishop, Darnell Wilks and Larry Davis are juniors that should know better. But, a good many of your "go to" guys are sophomores (Dixon and Gates) and freshman (Stephenson, Wright, and Parker). Sean Kilpatrick's being redshirted, so he's having to learn from afar.
"Problem with us is,'Oh no, we're down five', welcome to the Big East!" explained Cronin.
"Southern Miss and Tulane, with all due respect, that's not who we play. We play teams--you look at St. John's--Temple's going to win the Atlantic 10 probably--that won't be a real popular statement. Siena's going to win the MAAC, they (St. John's) beat'em both on a neutral floor. Where are they picked in our league? 12Th, 13th, something like that? They're 0-3, welcome to Big East basketball!"
While you may occasionally disagree with Mick Cronin on X's and O's on the floor, you can't say that he doesn't speak his mind. Truth be told, UC would be far more competitive in the old Conference USA, but that's old news now.
We all certainly want wins now, but the ultimate goal is to win them in March where this team has faltered the last two years. Out of 16 teams, there's only two that are unblemished in the Big East as I write this (Villanova and Pitt). Both of those schools survived near misses on the road.
The odds of "running the table" in this league are about as likely as me being granted eligibility to join the team and compete with Alex Eppensteiner or Eddie Tyree to be UC's latest "Human Victory Cigar". It's not happening. (Plus, I'd disobey Mick at the end by not holding the ball and throwing a shot up to take advantage of the "PT"!)
The key to winning the Big East is not losing sight of the "big picture".
" We need to understand the grind and how to grind, for lack of a better term," said Cronin.
"You've got to grind through this league, it's not going to be pretty. You've got to buckle your chinstrap and grind. You've got to understand that other teams at times are going to play well in the game. We've got to make sure that we win in the end. If we can eliminate runs, we'll be fine."
This is for those of you (and trust me, I've done the same) that want to throw your arms up in frustration after a disappointing loss. The season never comes down to one game until it's the last game. At last check, as long as you're still in the hunt, the last game is at least two months away. I've seen maturity in the young players in the last two months and it goes to reason that more would take place in the next two.

I just bought an 04 WRX. Before buying it I was aware of the issue it has. After going WOT for a few seconds, the throttle seems to stay partially open even with the gas completely released. If you clutch in or put the car in neutral, the RPMs will go up at a rate of about 500RPM per second until redline. The only thing that stops the issue is if you rev then engine a few times. To me this sounds like the throttle (not the gas pedal) is sticking, and revving the engine is the only thing that un-sticks it.
What I'd like to know is if the WRX uses a mechanical throttle linkage or if it's a drive by wire throttle. If it's linkage, then it would make sense that it's simply sticking and may just need some WD40 or a break in. If it's DBW, it would seem I need an ECU re-flash.
I should mention that the car hasn't been driven in a while with the exception of my test drives so if it's a mechanical throttle link then it might make sense that it just needs to be broken in.


text: richard December 19, 2012 2:08 PM wtf.. that just about sums up your comment! ferrari did not follw correct procedures. if they had even thought that seb had ignored a yellow, then they had something like three hours or less, to lodge a protest. it was not until some unobservant posters on the internet started moaning, that ferrari felt they had to ask fia to look at the issue. and the ferrari query was typical of ferrari towards the end of the season. seb was the driver, and he knew that he saw the greens, so he knew that there could not be a query. so nothing wrong in him being sure of a situation. when he wasnt sure, as per one pass, he dropped back to cede tha place. to me, that is smart driving. dont forget, he had no radio so the decision was his alone. get over it. everything was cleared, seb won the wdc, and i doubt he is worried by what you are thinking.

Preview – The Last of Us
Jack Mc Glynn
28 June, 2012
Naughty Dog. Cheeky Pup.
I'm not courting controversy when I admit to having reservations about
The Last of Us.
Well, technically, I am.
But it's not intentional, merely a coincidental, attention-grabbing upshot.
It seems now the gaming world rests its hopes and dreams on
Naughty Dog
's latest Intellectual Property. Though it's one of the largest industries on the face of the earth, easily twice the size of a more 'reputable' film industry, Games and Gamers still suffer this lingering inferiority complex. And everyone has essentially prophesised that
Naughty Dog
will rectify this injustice.
Naughty Dog
Last December, in a heartfelt, albeit fairly conceited revelation to Eurogamer, creative director and writer
Neil Druckmann
talked of his desire to "change the f***ing industry" with
The Last Of Us
, urging rivals to admit, "Okay, I really need to learn the craft of storytelling, I really need to involve my actors in this in order to get realistic performances and realistic actors. That's what we want to do."
Do Naughty Dog have the monopoly on decent narrative?
"We try so hard at
Naughty Dog
to push things... And then games come out that are fun and exciting and get visceral things right, but to read in reviews that they have an amazing story is disheartening to us because we work so hard at it.
"As critics we need to raise the bar, otherwise no-one's going to change. We're going to keep pushing ourselves, and kill ourselves to make this story happen - but hope that by doing it, the rest of the industry is going to take notice and try to do the same thing."
is conceivably the defining IP of this console generation. Much of its acclaim is due to stellar performances and gripping narrative.
But this bears stressing: The art of storytelling is fluid, evolving and not limited solely to aping beloved adventure films and splicing in eight hours of shooting galleries?!
Perhaps crafting a game that's just-like-a-movie isn't de facto the healthiest way for this medium to grow.
And yet,
The Last of Us.
Set during a
'Day of the Triffids'
level floral catastrophe, born survivor Joel and quick-witted youth Ellie scrape together some semblance of a life in the lively, colourful ruins of western civilisation.
Despite the presence of dual protagonists, Campaign co-op will not be supported, leaving the developers to expand and hone their story without gameplay constraint.
And with Oscar Winning
Gustavo Alfredo Santaolalla (Brokeback Mountain, Babel)
scoring their upcoming title, ND have the scene set for a taught emotional rollercoaster of moral quandaries, dry wit and distressing acts of violence.
Like the loveable half-tucked rogue before them, Joel and Ellie will spend time sedately exploring richly textured and expertly rendered environments, taxing themselves with some light platforming (and even lighter input) as they scramble and climb through civic vestiges.
The post-apocalyptic world of
The Last of Us
is an education in the abilities of ND's custom built engine and the precision of Irish developed
The serene ambience sparkles with points of interaction, such as decrepit movie posters, sparking dialogue between the inquisitive young woman and her seasoned protector, and shatters with the arrival of fungal nasties and sinister survivors.
This blossoming, vibrant realism tends to wilt during combat.
Obviously sensitive to criticisms of the regenerative health mechanic, Joel sports a very trendy, very retro life bar.
This feel a regression, an ill considered relenting to fan pressure. I'm not advocating magically renewed vigour, but Joel's ill health can be represented in far more imaginative, immersive ways than a distracting, screen-filling, lime green shaft!
Stealth has been promised a larger role than in the Uncharted titles, with dynamic cover slinking, cinematic sleeper holds and ambitious edifice scaling proving a greater lure than panicked fire-fights.
Nap time
Ballistics are understandably scant in the savaged remains of Boston. Unfortunately, rather than experimenting with precise, methodological, high risk gunplay, retrieve Joel's trusty revolver from his jeans wrapped ass crack and its arcade city!
Tired genre clichés such as targeting reticules, catch all med-kits and ammo counters further negate atmospheric integrity.
It seems for each consequent vault, masterfully landed, The Last of Us fumbles with an ill-conceived misstep.
HUD and seek
Delight: Unarmed Ellie will scavenge makeshift weapons where she can, in one instance ominously snatching a brick from the ground.
Disdain: Joel shrugs off gunfire, blood spattering the camera as, stamina inexhaustible, he ducks into cover, sprints through doorways and lays a considerable smack down on a pipe-wielding jerkwad.
Human shields are a great new mechanic, and the fact your prisoner's desperate struggles can throw off your aim is further evidence of ND's charm and thoughtfulness. Similarly, enemies will react to the distinctive clang of spent clips and empty champers, presuming it safe to emerge from cover. And brain you.
Another inspired invention spoiled by carelessness elsewhere!
Why fire a depleted firearm when you have an ammo counter right there, constantly reminding you of impending vulnerability!
Why not just count the rounds ourselves, like in that other thing, REALITY!!!
True to form,
The Last of Us
calms me right down, redeeming itself as Ellie bricks the swarming foe in the side of his brain while Joel rams the sorry bugger for some context sensitive brutality!
Right in his beak!
Joel can even check his backpack mid fire-fight and craft useful tools to better his escape, namely Molotov Cocktails! The game cleverly continues in real-time as you rummage away, infusing gameplay depth and narrative tension.
Joel's more desperate brawler than trained assassin and his scenes of bare-knuckle fisticuffs often become extended affairs. Assuredly not Quick-Time Events, their length and exclusivity of animation suggests minimal (if any) player interaction during these life or death struggles.
Is this a case of ND trusting only themselves, not the player, to render a dynamic, exciting sequence?
That's the real beef, isn't it? While I'll happily let nonsense-engine
Asura's Wrath
off the hook when it comes to half-hearted agency,
The Last of Us
earns no such reprieve, especially when positioned as the salvation of interactive entertainment.
I don't mean to rain on
The Last of Us
' well earned parade. But with this stratospheric hype and Druckmann's masked superiority, it's hard to still root for
Naught Dog
as the punchy can-do underdog.
That said, given their level of expertise, let alone competence, I fully expect to chow down on a side salad of these very words at some stage in 2013!

New MIG welder time.
It's getting down to time to get my new mig welder. The cheapest i've found has been this outfit on ebay, I got my o/a torches from them and had no problems, so i feel comfortable buying this from them, just a matter of which one.
If it were you, what would you get?
the Hobart
the Miller
the Lincoln
dang. then i found this. combo panasonic
and the top of the line esab is as cheap as the lincoln..... :confused: :smash:
I would be a little leary of a Panasonic welder. I do not have much respect for Panasonic electronics.
I bought my Millermatic 175 off the net from Cyberweld. They shipped real fast and it arrived in perfect condition with everything promised.
But then I like Miller gear..you may wish to check the price on the Miller 251 as it will weld some thicker sections and that is nice to have..
And that is a decent price for that machine..Check on shipping and handling costs tho..I would.. :welcome:
i voted miller
i have a old miller 200 no electronics that is very important to me plus i think miller makes the best products and i see them used the most
i bought mine 8 years ago for $800. all to gether ive got about $1200.with all the acc.
i also think even though the welder plasma cutter would be cool it would be like the tv/vcr/dvd player if one goes the whole thing is broke
dont get me wrong a plasma cutter is a awesome tool
good luck with what ever you choose
sr66 :thumbup:
Panasonic-- :nono:
ooooooohhhh what do you know WE dont ....? come on give it up :cool:
sr66 :thumbup:
free shipping with that seller. :thumbup: panasonic is out. :smash:
At my job,I've got two Lincoln machines,both of which have proven to be good,solid,reliable equiptment.The older of the two is a 15 year old mig welder that is shown no mercy.I know that I've exceded the duty cycle rating many,many times,I often am grinding and covering the machine with grinding dust,in general doing all the things the manual says not to do.Believe it or not,machine has only had to be repaired once,for a burnt secondary wire at the connection to the transformer-and this is the digital controlled model with all the electronics.
The other machine is a 55 amp plasma cutter that about 5 years old,and while I don't use it as much(or abuse it as much) it hasn't given me any trouble either.
The main thing I would consider is if you can get all the little consumables locally(tips,liners,nozzles,etc).Theres nothing worse than finding out you're out of .035 tips on top of being p*****dbecause you just welded oneinto your project,then not being to get more for a week. :smash:
Good Luck,George :cool:
well well..... looky what i found..... if it works, it's the cheapest i've seen.....
:sweat: and i even have enough money left to buy a couple of trailer axles.... :thumbup:
damn impulse buys. :mwink: see ya'll in a few, i gotta go tell the missus. :spank:
Thanks for the input guys, I appreciate it. :pimp:
I have voted other. My first welder was a Century 295 amp A/C 220 volt that I bought in 1974. My second welder I bought in 1992 was a Century 85 amp mig, 110 volt. Had the 295 amp welder until 1987 and sold it to buy an A/C-D/C 230/140 amp welder so I could TIG mild steel on D/C and that was also a Century brand. In 2001 I sold my 85 amp MIG and bought a Century GS170, 220 volt MIG. I also bought a used like new Century high frequency arc stabilizer on ebay last year that works great for welding aluminum on my A/C-D/C welder. I have used millers and lincolns at the few good jobs I have had and the Century welders weld just fine and I have not had a problem with any of the 4 I owned. I know alot of people will tell others the Century welders are not good welders but I like them just fine. My GS170 MIG and AC/DC arc welder are used almost daily and yes I have used and abused them and went way over duty cycle time and still haven't killed any of them. I am looking at the new Century 250amp MIG, I might buy it in the next six months or so. Does any one else use Centuries on this forum? I think I know of only 3 other people on the forum that uses them.
my forst welder was a century made craftsman, and the first mig welder i ever used, was also made by century, but for snap-on. I wasn't to impressed with my little craftsman, it just wasn't up to par.
5-170 amp, 110 volt 25 amp circuit, MIG.
key words, 110 volt
i agree. You'd probably draw fewer amps with a 220 line, but 110 is really nice because of the portability.
