About Me
It all began at Conestoga High School where I took art studio and started to work more and more in the medium of Photography. The 4 years of art studio and photography taught me composition, color theory, and lighting. During these years I began to do work outside of the classroom and bought myself my first digital camera. The Olympus C765 was the perfect advanced point and shoot that was by no means limiting. Soon this camera never left my side. With the constant use and wear and tear the camera finally died and it was time to move into the world of DSLRs. I bough a Nikon D50 just after they had come out.
Around this time I was accepted to Penn State to become an Engineer. During my first semester. I launched my website and proceeded to update it on a biweekly bases. I took all the photo classes that the college would allow and it wasn't enough. I wanted to take more and expand my knowledge of photography. In the Spring of 2008 I changed my major to Photography and signed up for a full semester of art classes.
During these years I was hired to shoot several occasions on Long Beach Island. One of these was a 3 day event consisting of around 25 boats racing. 1500 Pictures later the majority of the sailors had some piece of work to go home with. Also some of my surf photography can be found on the walls of Farias' Surf & Sport in Beach Haven.
I recently graduated from Penn State with a BA in Integrative arts and a concentration in photography. Currently I am living in Chester Springs and looking to set up a studio and network with local photogs and models.

This Week in Publishing 3/26/10
Some very sad news this week as Sid Fleischman, Newbery winning author of THE WHIPPING BOY and BY THE GREAT HORN SPOON passed away at 90. These were some of my very favorite novels as a kid and he will definitely be missed.
Editor Cheryl Klein posted one of the coolest things I've seen in the publishing corner of the Internet: a 110 year old rejection letter. The reason for the rejection? "Your story is developed well on the political side, which is important and novel, but without a strong love-interest it would not go." Maybe things haven't changed so much after all.
Lots and lots of iPad related news still churning its way through the Internet, including confirmation that there will be B&N and Amazon apps on the iPad. Meanwhile, there was quite a bit of shock when, after all the fights over e-book pricing and Amazon's discounting, a website got a look at Apple's iBooks store and revealed that many of the e-books were priced at........ $9.99. Jacket Copy's Carolyn Kellogg reminds readers that this is a current snapshot and things are still under negotiation in advance of the April 3rd iPad release day. (UPDATE: And the prices have indeed now changed and most now appear to be $12.99)
Meanwhile, Random House remains a noticeable holdout from the publishers who have gone along with the Apple agency model and have not come to an agreement to have their books in the iBooks store. Mike Shatzkin notes that there's a very simple reason for this: Random House's books will still be available on the iPad via the Kindle app and others, by retaining old wholesale model they receive more per copy than via the agency model, and meanwhile the price to the consumer for their books will likely be less than their competitors. More money received for lower priced books? Not hard to understand at all.
And meanwhile, there's a new competitor to the Kindle: Kobo is gunning for the Kindle with a new Kindle-like dedicated e-reader selling for $150. Are the e-reader pricing wars about to commence? (via MobyLives)
Hachette UK CEO Tim Hely Hutchison sent an e-mail to agents and authors about the State of the Industry, which unfortunately I can't link to because I don't believe it's been posted online in full. He notes the continued deterioration of the brick and mortar retail landscape and hopes the remaining stores will embrace the Internet: "In short, we think a proportion (only) of the existing traditional booksellers can and will survive and even thrive if and as they adapt and refine the very different shopping experience they can offer the consumer in store and via their own focused websites." He predicts that e-book sales, which are currently 0.9% of the British market, will rise to 1% this year, 3% in 2011, and 5% in 2012.
In writing advice news, Donna Gephart posted information from Kate Messner about how to survive a Skype author-visit, and my client Natalie Whipple has a great insight about &*#$%& profanity: constant cursing isn't a problem because it's offensive, it's a problem because it's repetitive.
Comment of the week goes to........ Zoe Winters!! Anyone who is interested in self-publishing and is curious about some more resources should check out her extremely helpful comment.
And finally, this week's sign of the apocalypse is brought to you by St. Martin's, who will soon be publishing a lifestyle guide by "Jersey Shore" luminaries Ronnie and J-WOWW. My oh my. Can Snooki's autobiography and The Situation's guide to situational abs be far behind? (via @sarahlapolla)
Have a great weekend!

I bet the rejection still stings 110 years later. I'm sure poor Mr. Shedd just rolled over in his grave - "How many people just read my rejection? Damn that William Dean Howells."

LMAO @ Ink!
I hope the Kobo causes B&N to lower the price on their Nook. If I wind up getting an e-reader I've already decided that's the one I want. I just don't want to spend $250 for something I'll only play with occasionally.
- March 26, 2010 at 2:51 PM
I think good is a relative concept. I used to enjoy the original He-man cartoon as a kid, but now, I don't like it at all. And this is something that might be overlooked in publishing kids and YA books. How good does it really have to be? And are kids turned off by stuff that adults considered good? I'm sure there are plenty of kids that love Jersey Shore.
As for the brick and mortar stores, I see more traffic in my local used book stores than in my B&N and Borders book stores. Maybe the big chains can learn from the local used stores; they seem to have a stronger community around them.
Although I bought my girlfriend a Kindle a year ago, I'm holding out for the Kindle 3. I cannot wait to see what amazon puts out next.

How awesome that the 110-year-old rejection letter was saved! And it's also wonderful how much feedback was provided in that letter. It's especially interesting to me that the editor suggested adding a love interest to a novel with a strong political component. Alan Rinzler suggested that I add a love interest for my main character in my futuristic science fiction political thriller, and I've been hard at work the past few weeks developing such a story line. I had a eureka moment when I figured out how to do that without downplaying the futuristic science or the politics of the novel.
Have a great weekend!

Well now, 110 years doesn't seem a long time at all to require a tale with a 'study of the western condition.' Doesn't the the oldest story in western society - that of Adam and Eve reiterate itself throughout the HUMAN condition. It's comforting to know that political ideals, morals and monarchys will come and go but the essence of humanity will remain. So, writers, throw in a hint of romance with your dragons, detectives and political intrigues and you are likely to have a recipe for success.
Thanks for ALL the detailed info. I'm a romantic so this struck a chord with me.

I can't help drawing a parallel between old movie theaters and old book shops. When DVDs and videos threatened to eliminate the traditional movie theater all together, the movie theaters simply gave the public a reason to show up. Movie theaters became bigger, better and even MORE expensive. Yes the $ theaters are gone, but I still believe in the fact that we are by nature social creatures, even while reading. We still like to be near each other.
They will build it and we will come. I know there are large, experience driven bookstore out there, but I think someone will invent an even better experience, to make us want to show up.

Really interesting links, Nathan, as always, thanks!
I'm sorry to hear about Sid Fleischman.
The rejection letter is awesome! :) The IPad news is interesting, and I didn't quite understand the Random House thing - not sure what the difference is between the agency and the warehouse model.....I know, that's probably elementary, but there it is. That's really interesting that a CEO is acknowledging the rise of e-books. I wonder what he plans to do....I agree that bookstores with interactive experiences could do extremely well - what is Skype? I clearly know nothing.
The article by Natalie is totally dead on target I think. And I thought Zoe's comment was terrific too! Very helpful.
I have to say, though, I couldn't help but notice that I'm not Zoe Winters. That means I didn't win Comment of the Week AGAIN. It's been two whole weeks. What is it going to take?? Well, I'm not going to give up. I'm thinking....haiku.
With that wonderful thought, I'm off to write a haiku. Hope everyone is having a great, sunny weekend - it's lovely here.

Thanks for the link to Natalie Whipple's rant. Loved it! And I couldn't agree more with her conclusions. I personally don't like using curse words, but I think it's true that a well-placed word is more effective than trying to bury your reader with them. A little salt on a meal can really bring out the flavor, but when you empty the salt shaker on it (or one of your "friends" unscrews the top for a joke) the food just ends up in the trash.

I have to agree with Natalie Whipple. Most users of obscenities are very repetitive. The best and most effective use of an obscenity I've ever experienced was in an old Jimmy Buffet song called "West Nashville Grand Ballroom Gown".

Judge Sends Lawsuit to Narragansett Tribal Court
PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) _ A federal judge is sending to tribal court a lawsuit accusing the Narragansett Indian Tribe of failing to pay $1.1 million in legal fees.
The Providence Journal reports that U.S. District Court Judge William E. Smith said Massachusetts lawyer Douglas J. Luckerman entered into a relationship with the tribe and the tribal court has claim over lawsuits from that relationship. The judge said he'll review the tribal court's conclusions.
Luckerman sued the tribe in March, seeking unpaid legal fees,s interest and court costs for representation following a 2003 state police raid on a tribal smoke shop.
Luckerman said the tribe waived its sovereign immunity.
A lawyer for Luckerman said he's pleased Smith ruled that the tribe waived its sovereign immunity.
The tribe's lawyer said Smith's finding that the tribe waived its immunity raises concerns.

Mackey: One Red Rose to Receive World Premiere at Carnegie Hall(February 2013)
Brentano String Quartet to Give World Premiere of Steven Mackey's One Red Rose at Carnegie Hall
A co-commission from Carnegie Hall, Yellow Barn, and the Nasher Center to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, Steven Mackey's One Red Rose will receive its world premiere by the Brentano String Quartet at Carnegie Hall on Tuesday, February 12. This three-movement work examines the public and personal response to a national tragedy that affected the sociopolitical atmosphere of the world.
> Click here to purchase tickets.
In Mackey's own words, he explains: "In the midst of this public crisis I have particular empathy for the personal tragedy felt by his family. One individual in particular that I drew inspiration from was Jackie, the First Lady who gracefully navigated through one extreme situation after another during this time. She becomes the most vivid symbol of the way the assassination traverses the public and the private. The highly structured protocol of a state funeral provides an opportunity for the world to pay its respects and gain some modicum of closure. However, this is just the beginning of the grief process for those closest to the deceased. Jackie is suddenly a widow with two small children. She had been devoted to her family and supporting her husband's political career and now she must move out of her residence and reinvent her life."
Another of Mackey's works will receive its world premiere in Long Beach, CA on April 27 when the Long Beach Symphony performs Urban Ocean, a co-commission from the Aquarium of the Pacific and the Long Beach Symphony.
Steven Mackey has been honored by numerous awards including a Grammy, several awards from the American Academy of Arts and Letters, a Guggenheim fellowship, Stoeger Prize from the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center, Kennedy Center Friedheim award and many others. He has been the composer-in-residence at major music festivals, including Tanglewood, Aspen and the Holland Festival. His Kickstarter-backed commission Prelude to the End was premiered by SOLI Chamber Ensemble in May 2012; SOLI recently received the prestigious CMA/ASCAP "Adventurous Programming Award."
Other upcoming North American premieres of Steven Mackey's works include:
March 9, 2013

Pekka Kuusisto, violin / Steven Mackey, electric guitar / Toronto Symphony Orchestra / Carolyn Kuan
Roy Thomson Hall, Toronto, ON, Canada

misfire on #1
I just changed all the coil packs (I've gotten codes on 2 of them in the past and now a misfire on #1, I got a deal for all 6 so I changed them all) and was going to replace the plugs but I was mailed the wrong ones. So I WILL be changing the plugs. I did re-gap the ones that were in there.
But anyway, what else could cause a misfire?
It seems to be running fine. My code reader says it's resetting the code, but as soon as I start the car the engine light is on and stays on. Prior to changing the coil packs we would get a brief flashing engine light (not even a minute) and then it would turn off all together. This would be right after a hard start or running a little rough, but then it smooths out and runs fine for a few days before it starts up again.
I thought maybe one of the new coil packs was bad so I swapped in the one that the dealer changed last year. Still getting a misfire on #1 (That's the front passenger side BTW)
Please give me some clues
Re: misfire on #1
Injector ? Wiring ? Loose connection ? Bad ground ?


text: All, I'm a long time PC user, with a lot of McFriends. They're constantly spitting numbers and figures and rumours and rhetoric at me. I'm wondering if anyone out there has some GENUINE UNBIASED benchmarks that compare equivalent (if there is such a thing) PCs and Macs. My own personal opinion is that in the "olden days", when the G4 was first out, it was kick-ass, compared to the Pentium 3s they were clocked slightly under. But as Pentium 4s topped 1 gig, and now 2 gig, and with advances such as RDRAM used in P4, and DDR Ram used in new Athlons, etc, the Apples are looking decidedly underpowered. Especially for their price. (That being said, their laptops aren't bad in terms of price for performance, just because everything else is so bad.) What I am looking for here is Honest, factual, unbiased information. Please don't look on this as a troll or an excuse to come on and say "Windows sucks! Aha ha ha ha ha! Macs Rule." I'm looking for informed, factual NON BIASED information. The only unbiased info I've been able to find is a quite old article in a graphics magazine comparing a bunch of graphics workstations. [For what it's worth: The Mac (a G4 500) was well and truly in the back of the pack. In fact it was only beaten for last by an iMac. And by the way, the competition was Pentium 3s @ 733-900mhz.] Apologies for the long post. I wanted to establish a few things to leave as little stupity room as possible for the uninformed Zealots out there.

I tried this and the following tips with no success. Regardless of trying the clickety-click or the reset/load, it kept hanging at the first step, "erasing module". Somewhere during trying this….it appeared to die. The screen seemed completely dead. I switched to an FTDI cable that didn't have RESET and (as outlined elsewhere) simply held the screen reset line to ground, clicked load, and released the reset. Programming happened and the screen came back to life. All is good in the world once again.
No public wish lists :(

Correction Appended
Felicity Porter makes a very last-minute decision about where to go to college. On graduation day, when Ben Covington, the cute boy she has loved from afar in high school, writes something nice in her yearbook, Felicity decides to forget the pre-med program at Stanford (her parents' idea, anyway) and follow Ben to New York City. In the first episode of ''Felicity,'' the WB mini-network's new drama series, viewers will see the title character gazing at the application form. The letterhead says ''University of New York.''
When Felicity (played by Keri Russell) gets out of a taxi and carries her luggage into her dorm, the neighborhood looks like one of those Greenwich Village blocks near Washington Square. It looks a lot like New York University, but it's not: it was filmed farther uptown. Even though schools, just as Coke or Nike do, usually welcome a free mention of their name on television, N.Y.U. said no.
''I'm sorry that we didn't get N.Y.U.'s approval'' to use the school's name, said J. J. Abrams, co-creator and co-executive producer of ''Felicity,'' which is to have its premiere on Sept. 29. But, he added, he understands the reluctance.
''We're not showing the university as a place of bacchanal, of crazy, violent rampages,'' Mr. Abrams said. ''Our show is not about the maligning of higher education. However, if there were ever any drug use of any kind on the show, if there were a suicide, if there were ever a moral lapse in a professor -- these things that are automatically potential stories could somehow ruffle the feathers of N.Y.U.''Continue reading the main story
For their part, university officials would not say exactly what concerned them about a show based on a pretty, talented freshman in the big city for the first time. ''The script presented a kind of context, environment that was not appropriate,'' said Richard Bing, a spokesman for the university. ''The negatives kind of outweighed the positives.''
''Felicity'' is something of an unusual case, because the university would effectively have been a character in the series. The school officials are normally thrilled to have their school name used. Mr. Bing happily rattled off the series that have mentioned it in recent years: ''Seinfeld'' (Kramer hires a student intern), ''The Cosby Show'' (Theo, Malcolm-Jamal Warner's character, attends), ''The Nanny,'' ''Friends,'' ''Everybody Loves Raymond,'' ''N.Y.P.D. Blue.'' And ''Oh, Baby,'' the new Lifetime series about artificial insemination, where the supervising doctor is at the N.Y.U. medical school.
Still, there are borderline cases in both television and film, as N.Y.U.'s president, L. Jay Oliva, recalled. ''The first time I remember was seeing 'An American Werewolf in Paris,' '' he said. ''The werewolf was in an N.Y.U. T-shirt. I thought, is this good or bad?''
It was not completely unprecedented. Dr. Oliva also recalls ''Manimal,'' a 1983 NBC series in which an N.Y.U. professor solved crime by turning into the hirsute title character. (The series lasted only three months.)
For the most part, on-the-air mentions are regarded as free product placement. Accordingly, Diane Fusilli, director of public affairs at Sarah Lawrence College, was delighted when a representative of ABC's sitcom ''Sabrina, the Teen-Age Witch'' called last season about an episode in which Sabrina was to attend a college fair and linger over the Sarah Lawrence materials.
Ms. Fusilli said yes. ''If you think about 'Sabrina, the Teen-Age Witch,' that's a very popular show,'' she said. ''The woman who plays Sabrina the witch, Melissa Hart, is a well-respected actress. So it's not a bad place to be.''
If having a witch consider enrolling in Sarah Lawrence is a good thing, what would be a bad thing?
A doofus.
''As a school that recruits and graduates, you know, respected sort of intellects,'' Ms. Fusilli said, ''if your character was just exceedingly goofy and unsuccessful, in some ways it just doesn't fit right. Not because it's going to ruin your reputation, but you're sort of responsible for being the standard-bearer.''
People in Ms. Fusilli's line of work are sometimes also responsible for enhancing the bottom line. As Nita Nickell, a licensing official at the University of Oregon, in Eugene, explained: ''My job here is to protect the university, to enforce the use of any of our marks, to generate income from those marks and to provide revenue for the university. We have particular contracts and filming fees.''
Maybe that's understandable when a film crew wants to bring in Michelle Pfeiffer and Tom Cruise and turn the social sciences building into a movie set. Or when 10 characters in a sitcom are wearing Oregon sweatshirts, complete with the university crest. But do filmmakers have to have permission to mention a school's name? Surely, Erich Segal didn't clear it with Derek Bok before having Jenny Cavilleri make those wisecracks to Oliver Barrett 4th in ''Love Story'' about Harvard men using the Radcliffe library.
The answer seems to be that copyrighting a school's name doesn't really mean much, but nobody wants trouble, and Hollywood seems particularly cautious these days. ''This is a very careful industry,'' Ms. Fusilli explained. ''Many production companies do call and ask you to sign release forms.''
Sometimes it is a tough call. Mr. Bing remembered one particular character on ''N.Y.P.D. Blue'' with an N.Y.U. affiliation.
''I guess if I had my druthers,'' Mr. Bing said, ''he wouldn't have been the principal person under investigation. But for every negative, there are three positives.''
In fact, that same season, the star of the same series, Detective Andy Sipowicz (played by Dennis Franz) had surgery at N.Y.U./Tisch Hospital. Everything turned out fine.
Correction: September 3, 1998, Thursday A headline and a picture caption yesterday about ''Felicity,'' a new series on the WB Television Network that is set at the fictional University of New York, characterized the series incorrectly. It is a drama, not a situation comedy.Continue reading the main story

It took Michelangelo more than four years to complete his painting on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. It took Blizzard nearly twice as long to complete the next installment to their 1998 hit StarCraft. Sure they had some things to work on along the way, including a massive multiplayer online game called World of Warcraft.
StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty begins with Jim Raynor and his Raynor Raiders. He is still on the run from Arcturus Mengsk, the ruler of the Terran Dominion. Raynor is also dealing with the ghosts of his past, in particular the loss of Sarah Kerrigan, now the Zerg Queen of Blades. Fan favorite Tychus Findlay also returns and starts out the game in dramatic fashion in one of the best cinematics ever made.
At the core of SCII you have the nuts and bolts of any real-time strategy game. You create your forces through the gathering of resources and building structures. The gameplay here is as good as you get. In the online matchups, you have all the units available at your disposal for the Terrans, Protoss and the Zerg.
In the single-player campaign mode, you start as the Terran Jim Raynor. You'll be planet-hopping as you start your fight against the Dominion. You have your basic units at the ready. Marines will do the fighting. The Space Construction Vehicles (SCV's) will build and gather.
The first few missions were just a warmup for what was ahead. After breezing through the first missions, it was an escort mission that started giving me problems. I am ashamed to say that I wound up pushing down the level of difficulty to get through it the first time.
It's not just the battlemaps that will keep players immersed in the SCII universe; it is the way the story, characters and game progresses. You wind up with your own starship headquarters: the Hyperion. On this ship you have an armory, a cantina, a laboratory and the bridge.
Here you will be able to interact with crew members and items. Some interaction will be useful to continue the story line such as news broadcasts. Other items fill in new players with previous StarCraft lore.
World of Warcraft players may see a familiar sight. In the cantina, there is a holographic dancer that is very similar to a female nightelf. As far as I could tell, she wasn't dancing on a mailbox.
But there is also substance in the Hyperion. Instead of going to your basic menu interface to research or purchase upgrades, the ship itself offers individual areas to explore. You have access to your bridge right away. Here you will be able to choose your next mission or go back to previous missions and cinematics in the archives.
Once you unlock the armory, you will be able to upgrade your units, vehicles and buildings. With the credits you earn on successful missions, you will be able to buy special abilities and upgrades.
More upgrades can be found once you unlock the cantina. Here you will be able to hire mercenaries for your missions. These are elite fighting units that will add extra wallop to your punch. You are limited to the number of units you can use per mission.
Then there are even more upgrades available in your laboratory. You can use research points to add even more abilities to your forces. The research tree is split in to two sections; the Protoss and the Zerg. You can get research points for both sections by completing secondary mission objectives. On a heavy Zerg map, you'll get Zerg research points and the same for the Protoss.
Since these are secondary objectives, completing them will only count towards research and not take away from your mission goals and rewards. Some missions will have you looking for artifacts for the Moebius group. By the way, the Moebius aren't the only ones looking for artifacts.
Blizzard has also really taken the core of the missions and bumped up the challenge on them. It's not just going to be building your core structures and forces up as soon as possible. Each mission has an individual feel to it with its maps and its gameplay.
Around the fifth mission, I was defending my base overnight from Zerg attacks. I couldn't go on the offensive until morning. A game tip here for those that reach this mission is to keep your SCVs close to your bunkers so they can repair them during the Zerg assault.
The next mission I chose was to help gather resources on a volcanic planet. Sounds easy enough. Well it is, until the lava rises and I had to get my people to high ground as soon as possible.
At the end of each mission you get a cinematic that sets up more of the story line. The cinematics are top-quality with fantastic voice acting. That's not necessarily a good thing. Every time you finish your mission and go back, you may find yourself listening to more of the storyline or getting a new research item and you feel compelled to continue on to the next mission -- even if it's at 2:00 a.m. on a work night, it's hard to stop.
As I get ready to start on the second half of the campaign, I look forward to the rise in challenge as much as the ending of the storyline.
SCII also has its achievement system in full swing. Each mission has a set of achievements that you can add to your achievement points. There's no easy way out here as achievements cannot be gained on the low challenge setting.
There is also some foreshadowing going on as the story line continues. Something is happening with the Zerg, the Protoss and maybe inside your own crew. Then there is the Zerg Queen. She is back and she is not happy. The Queen of Blades is out to finish what she started.
StarCraft II may have taken more than 10 years to arrive, but in typical Blizzard style, it was ready when they said it was ready. Veteran StarCraft players will enjoy the chance to pick up where the first game left off. New players won't feel alienated by not having played the first game. Everything that players across the world have come to love in the Starcraft universe is here and more than worth the long wait. With a strong single-player campaign and online matchups, this definitely rates a four out of four stars.
Readers, what are your impressions of StarCraft II so far?

Xavier holds the edge on Sam Houston late
Lindgren jumped on a fat fastball delivered by Sam Houston reliever Matt Shelton and blasted it over the wall in left field for the lead with one out in the seventh inning.
The Xavier rally came after Sam Houston had pecked away to tie the score in its half of the seventh after trailing 6-2 after three innings.
Reliever Jordan Conley has six outs left in order to finish off the Musketeers' first NCAA tournament victory. Conley started the game as Xavier's shortstop.
Xavier got a gutty effort from starting pitcher Danny Rosenbaum, who scattered seven hits over 6 2/3 innings. Rosenbaum remained ahead in most counts, striking out nine in a gritty 124-pitch effort.
The Musketeers jumped to a quick 6-2 lead after three innings, but the Bearkats kept chipping away at the margin, adding three runs in the fourth and another in the seventh inning to tie the score.
Sam Houston State will need another rally or it will go two-losses-and-out for the second straight season in the NCAA tournament.

Microstructural control in hot working of IN-718 superalloy using processing map

The hot-working characteristics of IN-718 are studied in the temperature range 900 °C to 1200 °C and strain rate range 0.001 to 100 s−1 using hot compression tests. Processing maps for hot working are developed on the basis of the strain-rate sensitivity variations with temperature and strain rate and interpreted using a dynamic materials model. The map exhibits two domains of dynamic recrystallization (DRX): one occurring at 950 °C and 0.001 s−1 with an efficiency of power dissipation of 37 pct and the other at 1200 °C and 0.1 s−1 with an efficiency of 40 pct. Dynamic recrystallization in the former domain is nucleated by the δ(Ni3Nb) precipitates and results in fine-grained microstructure. In the high-temperature DRX domain, carbides dissolve in the matrix and make interstitial carbon atoms available for increasing the rate of dislocation generation for DRX nucleation. It is recommended that IN-718 may be hot-forged initially at 1200 °C and 0.1 s−1 and finish-forged at 950 °C and 0.001 s−1 so that fine-grained structure may be achieved. The available forging practice validates these results from processing maps. At temperatures lower than 1000 °C and strain rates higher than 1 s−1 the material exhibits adiabatic shear bands. Also, at temperatures higher than 1150°C and strain rates more than 1s−1, IN-718 exhibits intercrystalline cracking. Both these regimes may be avoided in hotworking IN-718.

67 WALL STREET, New York - September 14, 2012 - The Wall Street Transcript has just published its Large-Cap Value Investing Strategies Report offering a timely review of the sector to serious investors and industry executives. The full issue is available by calling (212) 952-7433 or via The Wall Street Transcript Online.
Topics covered: Large Cap Investing - Downside Protection - Value Investing - Risk Mitigation
Companies include: Bank of America Corporation (BAC), Citigroup, Inc. (C), JPMorgan Chase & Co. (JPM), Boeing Co. (BA), Cummins Inc. (CMI), Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (GS)
In the following excerpt from the Large-Cap Value Investing Strategies Report, an experienced portfolio manager discuss his outlook for financial sector stocks for investors:
TWST: So given the types of stocks the fund is looking for, are there certain sectors that have emerged recently as being more likely than others to include those characteristics?
Mr. McGinn: Over the last couple of years, for example, if you look at the financials, they have been absolutely murdered. All of the news tends to be on the negative side because investors are suspicious after what seems to be an overabundance of scandal in that industry. We actually own several of the large banks under the belief that, ultimately, if the economy is to recover - which, of course, we think it is - you can't have a recovery without the big banks involved. And in fact, it can't really start until the big banks start to fully get back to a normalized world and start to lend money.
So we're willing to have Bank of America (BAC), Citigroup (C) and JPMorgan (JPM). These companies are selling below book value, and we believe that once the economy normalizes, they will be valued at their historical multiples. I know that the argument back a couple of years ago, and it was true, was that the book value was overstated, but I believe we've sort of come past that. And if anything, is the case now, that is probably the book value is - if it's anything, it would be understated. But all of these companies are selling well below book value, and normally, banks trade at about 1.5 times tangible book value. So if valuations normalize and banks continue to grow book value there is opportunity for significant appreciation.
My belief is as we go out 18 months to two years, the banks will trade up to historical valuations as opposed to the last couple of years, where they've traded at levels driven by fear of another financial crisis.
TWST: Are there any other sectors that have caught your eye over the past couple of years?

text: Several holster makers sell them. Comp Tac does, but they are expensive. If I remember correctly, they are around $17, but that may include shipping. I'm thinking of making my own for future use. You can buy a sheet of Kydex fairly cheap $5.50 and probably can get 20 clips out of one sheet. You can heat it in a toaster oven, it becomes very pliable; then just shape it over a furring strip or something to simulate a thick belt.

The Xbox One is designed to be able to be always-on for the entirety of its 10 year lifecycle, as MCV UK reports via Eurogamer.
In order to achieve this, it appears Microsoft has little desire to repeat the costly and embarrassing red-ring-of-death scandal which plagues the Xbox 360, promising that the Xbox One will be incredibly quiet and according to MCV UK's sources, more reliable than its predecessor.
It makes sense that the hardware should be able to endure an always-on status given Microsoft's desire to see it be just that.

Nunez was primarily a defensive specialist this past season and started games at third base when groundball pitcher Jamie Moyer started. He hit .234 in 136 games for the Phillies in 2007 and hit .221 in two seasons with the Phillies.
Barajas started the season splitting time behind the plate with Carlos Ruiz, but was supplanted by Ruiz after Barajas landed on the DL. He hit .230 with 4 home runs and 10 RBI in 48 games in his only season with the Phillies.
Nunez and Barajas will both enter the free agent market this off-season.
The Phillies also designated right-hander Kane Davis for assignment. The 32 year old signed with the Phillies as a minor league free agent last October and pitched well at Triple-A Ottawa this season, but stumbled in his opportunity with the big league club late in the season when he went 0-1 with a 5.56 ERA in 11 games.
The Phillies have also reached contract deals with all of their coaches except bench coach Jimy Williams, who has been mentioned for other opportunities around baseball, including a couple of managerial openings. If none of those openings pan out for Williams, it is likely that he will return as Charlie Manuel's bench coach in 2008.

The Story
This was supposed to be my project. Turns out, I need the money. Too bad. My loss is your gain on this one. This car would be great for parts or to repair and put on the road. I took it off the road when I bent the previous subframe. The pictured subframe is the replacement piece but has never been installed in this car. The heater core was also replaced at the same time as it was necessary. Since I had the car apart I made some more modifications including, but not limited to:
A short shift kit and shortened post - SOLD
White faced plasma gauges from Germany
Replacement of dash bulbs with LEDs
Replacement of the air flow sensor with a less restrictive unit
Replacement of the stock suspension with a used custom coil over kit - SOLD
Replacement of the Oil pan gasket and general cleaning of the undercarriage
Custom grey and black microsuede gear shift cover
All pieces missing from pictures are available and will go with the car. I will be removing the stereo and rear in door speakers. Original speakers are available, however the door cards have been cut to accommodate larger speakers. All speaker wiring will remain for ease of re-install. All pieces that are missing from the pictures are still with the vehicle and will be provided.
**I really dislike doing this, but I'm willing to part this car out. I still have most every piece of this car. Let me know what you need and I will give you a price. Or make an offer for something. Either way.
Pad and rotors have no wear on them, however, have been exposed to the elements for the last few years... knock the rust off and good as new
Let me know what you want or need**
Please feel free to contact me at 604.760.2313 or via email with any questions or if you would like to see the car.

I've been doing a lot of work with the FormData API, and I found a JSONFormData polyfill by Roman Liutikov in the DailyJS submission queue. It implements the W3C HTML JSON form submission API:
Instead of capturing form data as essentially an array of key-value pairs which is the bread and butter of existing form encodings, it relies on a simple name attribute syntax that makes it possible to capture rich data structures as JSON directly.
This implementation lets you submit data to servers as JSON by setting a form's
enctype to
application/json. It also supports REST API HTTP verbs like
PUT and
Submitting data with JavaScript is similar to
FormData -- just use
new JSONFormData(form).formData to get an object based on the form.
If you're writing RESTful services with JSON and want to make a quick web interface, then JSONFormData should help speed things up.

"UNC could have easily won that game. Looking at the whole performance, the defense did show some improvement ... Matt Baker seemed pretty comfortable at quarterback ... and the receivers, even though they had some dropped balls, you could see it's a pretty talented receiver corps. So it was a game they could have won with just one touchdown pass in the fourth quarter, but you've got to wonder about their running game, though - they can't run the ball right now."

What to do regarding a 30 day notice and pro-rated rent?
Question Details:
I had a verbal agreement with my landlord that if we vacated the property earlier than our written 30 day notice, that they would return our pro-rated check for the month. We vacated within 12 days and now the landlord says they will only return the check if they rent the property by the first of the month. They have signed renters that are not moving in on the first but 10 days later. Legally can I still get my check back? The landlords told us they wanted us out as soon as possible so they could show the property. They met and signed renters 2 days before we turned in the keys and now they are saying they are keeping the check.
The problem that you have in your situation is that you have a verbal agreement with your landlord about about getting a rebate of your rent that you paid in advance if you vacated sooner than the last thirty days of your occupation of the rental. In the future you need to get all agreements in writing.
I would write your former landlord a letter (keeping a copy for future need) reminding him or her of the verbal agreement and request the refund owed you by a certain date. If not received by the requested date, your option is small claims court.

I'm with you chefed, I adore breakfast for supper, my husband not so much.
My Mother use to make us kids silver dollar pancakes and pork link and we thought that was pretty special...
We could have all of syrup we wanted!
The Ono came out "dry and tasteless" so my husband told me.
I didn't cook it too far, it a little give to it. Maybe I should prepare it en papillote next time?
That's how I prepare (I'm allergic) his trout fillets on a bed
of julienne veg and a splash of dry Vermouth and herbs/spices too.
As you said, having lived in Hawaii, (I may have mentioned this before) I never had to cook my own "local style" dishes, something like Ono was too expensive in the markets, so my husband always ordered it out.
Alot of the fish caught (commercially)in Hawaii goes to Japan! So if you had a friend (which we did)
who owned a boat and took you out fishing, WAHOO!!! (or Ahi or....)

Forgot to make my son's Jawa costume...OOPS!!!
I remembered at 10:30 - ish last night, and immediately went scrounging thru closets and boxes. Eventually, I came up with some circuit boards with amber l.e.d.'s, a toggle switch, some wire, a 9v battery(taken from the alarm clock), some thick weave fabric, and some scraps of vinyl.
The first thing I did, was run to the store to grab some brown dye. That took a while, because there was a shooting in the parking lot not long after I went in. So, I couldn't get out of the store for a while.
When I got home, I decided to just cut and sew the costume before dying it.
Here is the basic pattern I used.
I got my son out of bed, and had him lay on the material that was spread out on the floor, so I could get rough measurements to go by.
I broke 3 needles on my older than dirt sewing machine that emits a puff of smoke when you step on the pedal. I finished it in record time nonetheless.
Next, I got to work on the pouches. I estimated the size from pictures from Google, and scratched down a quick pattern. I used black vinyl and stitched them together. The flaps are being held down by electrical tape, and the belt is just one of my old worn out ones.
I then started working on the "eyes." I plugged in my soldering iron and waited for it to heat up...I glanced over at the counter, and saw my wire cutters, and then yanked the soldering iron cord out of the outlet, and just cut those l.e.d.'s and the switch off. After dropping the l.e.d.'s a few hundred times, I finally got the silly thing wired up.
Here is my wiring diagram...don't laugh, it worked.
The battery will be suspended from a piece of string around his neck, and the l.e.d.'s are going to be taped to his cheeks or something--I haven't figured that one out yet His face will be blacked out by makeup. I was going to make a mask, but I thought it might be hard to see out of. His blaster is a Nerf Longshot that may or may not get painted in time.
I won't be able to wear my fett, because the kids were playing with the helmet and gauntlets, and left them outside for the dog to chew up...oh well, I needed to make something more permanent anyway.
Stay tuned for pics of the full Jawa costume, I think it best to just let him get some sleep, or I would have them posted by now.
I'm exhausted now, so, HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYONE AT TDH!

When this comes up in the media why is it always that folks think the only people on campuses are 'students' and they imagine no one but fresh out of HS 18 yr. olds with raging hormones?
Those persons make up the minority not majority of a given student body (juniors and seniors average in age at 21!) and they are also a minority in regard to population as a whole that may be on campus at any given time inclusive of staff including educators _and_ non-educator personnel who have just as much right and reason to wish to protect their person as any one else in life and should not be effectively penalized because they happen to have been a customer of and/or are in some way employed by a school.

The comments show that the paper is anti-gun. There are many commenters who claim thier posts were censored by the mods there. The poll tells the real story.
I found Chief Healy's coments the most distastfull. My E-mail to shealyATprinceton.edu.
Chief Healy,
In a Philadelphia Inquirer article: Student Group
Pushes for Right to Carry Concealed Weapons on Campus
from March 1st, 2008 you are quoted as saying "I would
dispute anyone who says there's evidence to suggest
that having students carrying guns on campus make our
campuses safer,".
Before concealed handgun laws were passed throughout
the United States, opponents claimed that such laws
would turn disputes over parking spaces and traffic
accidents into shootings. This did not prove to be the
case. The same responsible adults--age twenty-one and
above--now asking to be allowed to carry their
concealed handguns on college campuses are already
allowed to do so virtually everywhere else they
go--office buildings, shopping malls, movie theaters,
grocery stores, banks, etc.
They clearly do not let their emotions get the better
of them in other environments; therefore, no less
should be expected of them on college campuses. In
most states CHL/CCW holders have been educated and
tested on both the basic rules of gun safety and the
laws pertaining to carrying a concealed handgun,
threatening to use deadly force, and using deadly
force. They have also passed proficiency (shooting)
test at a firing range.
Since the fall semester of 2006, state law in Utah has
allowed licensed individuals to carry concealed
handguns on the campuses of all public colleges. Also,
concealed carry has been allowed for several years at
both Colorado State University (Fort Collins, CO) and
Blue Ridge Community College (Weyers Cave, VA). This
has yet to result in a single act of violence at any
of these schools. Numerous studies, including studies
by University of Maryland senior research scientist
John Lott, University of Georgia professor David
Mustard, engineering statistician William Sturdevant,
and various state agencies, show that concealed
handgun license holders are five times less likely
than non-license holders to be arrested for violent
College students can already legally purchase
firearms, and every state that provides for legalized
concealed carry has statutes prohibiting license
holders from carrying while under the influence.
Legalizing concealed carry on college campuses would
neither put guns into the hands of more college
students nor make it legal for a person to carry a
firearm while under the influence.
What is worse than allowing an execution-style
massacre to continue uncontested?
How can any reasonable action with the potential to
stop or slow a deranged killer intent on slaughtering
victim after victim be considered 'worse' than
allowing that killer to continue undeterred?
Citizens with concealed handgun licenses are not
vigilantes. They carry their concealed handguns as a
means of getting themselves out of harm's way, not as
an excuse to go chasing after bad guys. Whereas police
shooting statistics involve scenarios such as pursuits
down dark alleys and armed standoffs with assailants
barricaded inside buildings, most civilian shootings
happen at pointblank range. In the Luby's Cafeteria
massacre, the Columbine High School massacre, and the
Virginia Tech massacre, the assailants moved slowly
and methodically, shooting their victims from
pointblank range. A person doesn't have to be a
deadeye shot to defend himself or herself against an
assailant standing only a few feet away. It is highly
unlikely that an exchange of gunfire between an armed
citizen and a deranged killer would lead to more lives
lost than would simply allowing an onslaught of
execution-style murders to continue unchecked.
Contrary to what the movies might have us believe,
most real-world shootouts last less than ten seconds.
Even the real Gunfight at the O.K. Corral, a shootout
involving nine armed participants, lasted only about
thirty seconds and ended with only three of the
participants being killed. It is unlikely that an
exchange of gunfire between an armed assailant and an
armed citizen would last more than a couple of seconds
before one or both parties were disabled. And if the
assailant were disabled, he would be unable to do any
more harm.
Most significantly for your state of New Jersey you
all suffer under some of the most draconian gun
restrictions ever inflicted on U.S. citizens. I would
dispute anyone who says there's evidence to suggest
that having had these restictions in place in N.J. has
done one thing to reduce crime. To the contrary N.J.'s
resrtictions cause crime. To quote Thomas Jefferson:
"False is the idea of utility that sacrifices a
thousand real advantages for one imaginary or trifling
inconvenience; that would take fire from men because
it burns, and water because one may drown in it; that
has no remedy for evils except destruction. The laws
that forbid the carrying of arms are laws of such a
nature. They disarm only those who are neither
inclined nor determined to commit crime."
Even the CDC cannot bolster your position.
First Reports Evaluating the Effectiveness of
Strategies for Preventing Violence: Firearms Laws
Findings from the Task Force on Community Preventive
During 2000--2002, the Task Force on Community
Preventive Services (the Task Force), an independent
nonfederal task force, conducted a systematic review
of scientific evidence regarding the effectiveness of
firearms laws in preventing violence, including
violent crimes, suicide, and unintentional injury. The
following laws were evaluated: bans on specified
firearms or ammunition, restrictions on firearm
acquisition, waiting periods for firearm acquisition,
firearm registration and licensing of firearm owners,
"shall issue" concealed weapon carry laws, child
access prevention laws, zero tolerance laws for
firearms in schools, and combinations of firearms
laws. The Task Force found insufficient evidence to
determine the effectiveness of any of the firearms
laws or combinations of laws reviewed on violent
outcomes. This report briefly describes how the
reviews were conducted, summarizes the Task Force
findings, and provides information regarding needs for
future research.

I leave you with a few more quotes.
Respectfully, Jason M. Rogers
"I lobbied against the law in 1993 and 1995 because I
thought it would lead to wholesale armed conflict.
That hasn't happened. All the horror stories I thought
would come to pass didn't happen. No bogeyman. I think
it's worked out well, and that says good things about
the citizens who have permits. I'm a convert." --
Glenn White, president of the Dallas Police
Association, Dallas Morning News, 12/23/97
"I ... [felt] that such legislation present[ed] a
clear and present danger to law-abiding citizens by
placing more handguns on our streets. Boy was I wrong.
Our experience in Harris County, and indeed statewide,
has proven my fears absolutely groundless." -- Harris
County [Texas] District Attorney John Holmes, Dallas
Morning News, 12/23/97
"Some of the public safety concerns which we imagined
or anticipated a couple of years ago, to our pleasant
surprise, have been unfounded or mitigated." --
Fairfax County, VA, Police Major Bill Brown,

"I was wrong. But I'm glad to say I was wrong." --
Arlington County, VA, Police Detective Paul Larson,
Alexandria Journal, 7/9/97
"The concerns I had - with more guns on the street,
folks may be more apt to square off against one
another with weapons - we haven't experienced that."
-- Charlotte-Mecklenburg, NC, Police Chief Dennis
Nowicki, The News and Observer, 11/24/97
"If someone has a gun and is trying to kill you, it
would be reasonable to shoot back with your own gun."
