Post subject: State of the Panther Union
Guys, I love the direction our team is headed. Honestly I think we are very well equipped to be an elite franchise for many years in the future....loaded with young talent via intelligent draft/FA acquisitions & decent depth everywhere for the most part.
Cam leads a lighting offensive (with tons of weapons) that may very well evolve into the most explosive offensive in the NFL. Our bullish stable of pro bowl backs, in the prime of their careers with
Jonathan Stewart
DeAngelo Williams
. Even the addition of a stout power FB in
Mike Tolbert
(who will be the best in panthers history....ya I loooved me some Hooover but lets be honest this SD tank is way more legit, M.Turnerish). Tolbert also sheds some of the load from J-Stew at RB decreasing injury chance & keeping all the legs fresh. "Tripple Trouble" looks dangerous.
the most interesting preseason battle
Steve Smith
.....still a stud (
this ridiculous notion that he's aging and not elite...
w/cam he is still arguably the top small/speed WR in the league...& even a top10 WR overall
Brandon Lafell
is a great young WR. I have followed him since HS & throughout his time at LSU. He is poised to have a breakout campaign in 2012. He is our top young talent here and a solid #2 WR for any team. He has much better game awareness, hands, & blocking ability than Gettis. Opens the field....creates room for S.Smith to operate. He's a sure handed reliable possession guy with sneaky speed. Really reminds me of young Anquan Boldin when he came out of FSU. He is our #1 WR for the future.
Now few will agree with this, but quite honestly I think @ the slot,
rookie Joe Adams
wins the job easily, as he has the most speed & lightning game-breaking ability on this team not named Smith or DeAngelo. I know he's young but he played in a pro offense @Arkansas almost identical to ours, the learning curve will be slight and he will be able to make a strong impact in the preseason games & solidify his role early. (learn the playbook please dont pull a.....cough cough.....dare I say it Dwayne Jarrett
) No...he's a profesional he'll be ready. Keep in mind losing Shockey as a solid #2 TE will force us to run more 4WR sets this year....so believe me we'll see alot from Adams & Gettis, both can really ball.
And ahh...
David Gettis
, blazing speed & swift route running skills....returning from torn ACL yes some think he's a better fit than lafell, but with losing this past year of experience...Lafell has devloped into more of a complete WR...as where Gettis is still a little raw. But what I do know is now fellow panthers....we're going into a season knowing that we have an elite QB that can sling it all over the field. When have we ever said that before....never
In this offense all of these top 4 WR's will get a lot of action and all will make a decent impact...Gettis especially. 1-4 it really doesn't matter, they all will make their mark in 2012.
WR5/Practice Squad:
1 Makes it on special teams....2 on the practice squad
Greg Olsen
...is gonna be stud too.
don't tell anyone.
playoffs depend on them
This unit determines our overall success as an offense. We need to be physically ready & mentally ready for a 16+ game season this year.
that entails...
Be Mean/Strong/Athletic
Learn the damn snap counts
No lazyness....be in shape...(ALL YEAR)
Protect Cam!!!!!!!!
pleeeeeease lord stay healthy!!!!!
oh ya that one time
ya mean this crap
TD & Beason
LB Jon Beason
LB James Anderson
LB Luke Kuechly
LB Thomas Davis (knees)
If this is the unit that starts together for the majority of the season (baring injuries) the Carolina Panthers will be a top 10 team. This unit fuels this team...mainly w/leader
Jon Beason
. Not having our coach on the field & most talented def player last year was humiliating. We were absolutely toasted in the run game...we couldn't stop a mouse, nice effort though Jordan Senn & Fua/McClain
. Gentlemen.... I go to the University of Alabama & this is the realest thing you'll ever hear....& (scariest---for the quantum leap of improvement we are going to have on D this year). The Crimson Tide front 7 had more talent than our beloved NFL franchise in 2012. It's not biased, it's just fact....and its embarrassing that a college team could be better on def than an NFL's (yes decimated by injury but still we should have had better depth). That changes this year.
Beason &
James Anderson
will roam the outside both excellent in coverage & tackling in space. Two of the most athletic & gifted young LB's in the game.
In the middle BC rookie
Luke Kuechly
looks the part of a special player....a dominate tackler...incredible game intelligence.... a leader & a star.....not an ("average"..... Dan Connor). He's a panther Posluszny skill level already just as a rook....ultimately I see some Brooking/Zach Thomas.... Scary potential.
Thomas Davis
can atleast come back in be a solid rotational guy....or I guess just not blow out a knee. Always will be a favorite panther hope he can come back strong & as quick making a legit impact... but I'm not expecting him to do so. If we can avoid injury, we have 3 legit all pro caliber LB's. This is the strongest unit on our team & maybe even in the entire NFL.
Charles Johnson DE
Relax I got dis [inappropriate/removed]....with bigger bodies soon to be beside him (R.Edwards/G.Hardy), Charles will face much less double teams this season. In addition... Beason, Anderson, TD, & Kuechly will be roaming behind them(Rivera loves blitzing LB's...and we have great ones). Charles will have the chance for more one on one rushes to his target. He will post double digit sacks this season....no doubt....money well invested.
DE Charles Johnson, Frank Alexander
Ron Edwards
, A.Neblett, S.Fua
Greg Hardy
, T.McClain, F.Kearse
DE Antwan Applewhite, Thomas Keiser, Ryan Van Bergen
Notable Cuts:
DE's Eric Norwood, Jyles Tucker & DT Ogemdi Nwagbuo

Good writeup.
Adams will be the 4th WR, coming in on special packages.
Gettis/LaFell will be 2/3.

Adams will not be in the slot. Smith will be in the slot with Gettis on his side, LaFell on the other. That's what the Panthers were doing last summer before Gettis went down.

After 4 courses, we've somehow avoided the hottest buzzwords in REST:
Hypermedia and HATEOAS. These can make your API awesome, or could bring
you to your knees with fuzzy details, missing best practices and complexity.
Let's make our API awesome:
I just want to drop a quick "THANK YOU" here for your great courses. Not only have I learned a ton about Symfony and REST but also a lot about good coding style in general. And your videos are a piece of art for itself. I know how much work goes into the designing, recording and production of such great videos. So THUMBS UP ;-)
I like it!
I've just updated the starting code to add the static::fail() line :) (ref https://github.com/knpunive.... I kept the stopOnError stuff the way it was - I don't feel too strongly about those settings, and the user can override them.
Thanks for the suggestion!
How about this:
$baseUrl = getenv('TEST_BASE_URL');if (!$baseUrl) { static::fail('No TEST_BASE_URL environmental variable set in phpunit.xml.');}
I've also added:
to the phpunit.xml file
Hi Vlad!
Yes, you caught me - I saw this recently :). I actually don't remember what I was thinking here. In fact, my only idea was that I was thinking about doing a (!$baseUrl), and then throwing an exception to help the user know this isn't set. I'm not sure if that's what I was thinking... but it's either that or nothing: I haven't seen any bug or problem with the code that I now realized I forgot to fix.
Unless you can see something I may have meant? That would be awesome :).
Hi Ryan,In ApiTestCase::setUpBeforeClass there is an empty if statement:
public static function setUpBeforeClass() { $handler = HandlerStack::create(); $handler->push(Middleware::history(self::$history)); $handler->push(Middleware::mapRequest(function(RequestInterface $request) { $path = $request->getUri()->getPath(); if (strpos($path, '/app_test.php') !== 0) { $path = '/app_test.php' . $path; } $uri = $request->getUri()->withPath($path); return $request->withUri($uri); })); $baseUrl = getenv('TEST_BASE_URL'); if ($baseUrl) { } self::$staticClient = new Client([ 'base_uri' => $baseUrl, 'http_errors' => false, 'handler' => $handler ]); self::bootKernel(); }
if ($baseUrl) {}
What should go there?Thanks!
Thx u so much its very clear nowcheers
Hey Thierno!
I don't think you need to worry about performance - that's just a big topic, and one you can worry about later (neither method is inherently faster/slower). I typically recommend doing whatever you're more familiar with if you need to build this for a client or have some budget/deadline. But if this is more of a personal project and you want to learn, go with the approach that's less familiar to you :).
Good luck!
Thx you Ryan for your answer.I see what you mean but i want to make a social network in a single page app with angular 2 in the front-end and an API in the back-end with symfony 3 but i dont know if it is a good solution to develop it in a single page however it would be really cool if i could do this without leak of performance because i dont know if there is a problem with SPA and classic site in term of performance !!THX
Ha, that's a big question! :) Maybe you can tell me what things specifically are the most confusing, and we can try to clear those up! We're planning on a ReactJS + Symfony tutorial soon (maybe also Angular after) - but if you have some specific questions, let me know!
Part of the problem is that there are many ways to do things. You might have a pure JS frontend and a pure API backend. In this case, I would still keep them in the same git repository (for convenience), but they would be isolated. Then, you need to decide how you want to handle authentication. Btw, in some pure JS frontends, people actually just have one index.html file that holds the JS code to bootstrap things. If your app is this pure, you can even deploy this file (and of course your JS files) to a CDN for faster performance.
Or, you might have a mix of a traditional web app with some pages that host reach Angular/React applications. We do exactly that on KnpU. This is a bit easier, as we just rely on our cookie/session authentication when making AJAX calls that require authentication.
Hello Ryan,What is the best way to do a single page with angular 2 and symfony 3 ?I mean the architecture and also the deployementPlease with details because i am so confused THX!!! You are doing an awesome job here keep going !!!!!
Hey Vlad!
When it comes to files, I think the best answer is to do whatever you would normally do on the web - i.e. return the same data (so in this case, probably binary) and content-type as normal. Also, if you look at GitHub's API (they're my goto to look at, because it's used by many people and is actually quite nice to use), if you ever ask them for a "download", they return JSON, with a key on that JSON to the URL the client can use to go fetch that assets. Then, I assume, they just serve that asset from a CDN. But, returning the PDF directly from a controller is also fine.
Hi Ryan,What is the proper way to send images and PDF files in a REST API? Should it be sent as a base64-encoded string, or as binary?Thanks,
This week! Wed or Thu actually. So nice timing :D
Any news here?! ;)
Understand. That is made in Symfony: https://api-platform.com. I keep an eye on it too.
I think it's a good idea. In my limited experience, it's crazy verbose - I don't love how Zend usually does things, but I keep an eye on it :).
About episode 6, my vote is: YEEEEES!!!!! - Sorry, Brazil crazy things!What do you think about: https://apigility.org:)
Not in this one, but I LOVE that bundle. I *am* considering an episode 6 about documentation - basically moving the planned ep3 from the Silex rest series over here as ep 6.
I've already finished recording this course, and I'm *really* excited about it - watch for it in a few weeks!
You will talk about NelmioApiDocBundle in this course?

There is something ironic that Tunisia, in which the so-called "Arab Spring" initially emerged should now be the scene in which a blueprint for restoring a sense of democracy in the Middle East can emerge. It was in Tunisia a few years ago that a despondent young man set himself on fire in frustration at not being able to find meaningful work or life. It was in Tunisia, among the most secular Muslim nations of the Middle East, that a dictator, Ben Ali, was removed an an election resulted in victory for the Islamist Ennahada party. Unfortunately, as in other Middle Eastern nations such as Egypt, this party failed to respect the rights of secular Tunisians. This resulted in violence including the murder of secular MPs such as Mohamed Brahmi and chaos. Fortunately, both secular and Islamists decided to cooperate rather than continue violence. A new government led by Mehdi Jomaa will be installed and his Cabinet will consist of technocrats, men and women with skills rather than men and women representing political viewpoints.
This should be the model for Egypt. Yes, the Muslim Brotherhood government of Prime Minister Morsi refused to be inclusive and imposed strict Muslim ideas upon a divided nation in which most did not share a Sharia life. In Tunisia, the new Constitution requires a 50-50 sharing of government jobs between men and women. It will seek to develop an inclusive government in which power is shared. And, there will be a free election.
Goodbye Armed forces. Inclusive power sharing is THE MODEL for the Middle East!!

Living History
For years, I've been fascinated with China's imperial past. I have always preferred the ancient to the modern, and throughout my life have fluttered from one historical civilization to another, devouring the violence and romance of their reigns. I flirted with historical China as I had with the Romans and the Aztecs, and the flirtation blossomed into an unexpected infatuation when my father bought me Sun Tzu's Art of War. The historical introduction that took up two-thirds of that edition contained as much drama as it did military history, and I was drawn in by the same mix of violence and romance--augmented, I'll admit, by a stronger flavor of exoticism than I'd found in the Celts or the Greeks.
I recently visited modern China on a research trip with Dr. Han, one of my college professors. The chance to see relics of the ancient China that I loved was only pointed out to me after we had gotten the grant for our research, when Dr. Han started talking about including some tourism in our itinerary. I had so separated my romanticized imperial China from today's gritty industrial China that it hadn't quite occurred to me that we were going to the same place. Once I had gotten over the shock of Dr. Han's suggestion, though, the idea was tempting--a bonus prize that would make the trip much more fun.
Beijing, our first stop once we arrived in China, still has many reminders of the past in its architecture, intertwined with new and modern touches. In the city, we browsed the shops on a long street flanked on one side by modern glass-and-concrete high-rises and on the other by brightly painted wooden buildings, red with ornate green and blue cornices in the most iconic Chinese style. The massive stone gates to Tiananmen Square were topped with more sloping-roofed, antique wooden towers, and underlain with subway stations that could be reached by stairways sunk under the arches of the gates. We spent four days as tourists, visiting the endless rectangular pavilions of the Forbidden Palace, the circular daises of the Temple of Worshipping Heaven, and a stair-heavy stretch of the Great Wall of China that dove straight down one side of a steep-walled valley and then right back up the other side.
The parts of Beijing that we saw the most of made up a display city, a place to spend money, thick with tourist shops and tour guides. The shops in these areas were full of souvenirs, which ranged from little five-yuan keychains to jade jewelry so expensive that I boggled at the number of zeroes. I was happy to take pictures of all the old-fashioned, bright red storefronts, with their elaborate painted carvings and long waving banners.
Our hotel was in a less urban section of the city than those shops. It was a little yellow building with a gated courtyard that opened out onto a narrow grey street. The streets around our hotel were walled in by multi-story buildings, most of them grey, concrete, and with open fronts onto the street. The bottom floors were tiny shops selling everything from toilet paper to roasted chicken--the live chickens kept in cages in the doorway of the shop and butchered and roasted fresh while customers waited. Children played just outside doorways, old men sat on stools around the chicken-roasting fire, and people of all ages and genders wound their way through the press of people on the same ubiquitous bicycles that I would sometimes see hung high on the wall by a shop door. Our hotel shared its courtyard with a little cafeteria, and when we went down for breakfast in the mornings, some of the same people that we saw in those back streets would be sitting there eating their dumplings and boiled eggs.
We always overshot the street shops on our group trips, but by the third day I was affectionately thinking of them as my favorite part of the city. The shopkeepers there didn't sell souvenirs and stalk tourists; they sold the necessities of daily life to their neighbors and chatted with the people they recognized on the street. The main streets of Beijing had started to seem like a facade--lovely and historically valuable, but preserved for the benefit of outsiders who needed to be impressed by an ancient and powerful capital. I would never have expected that the back streets that we passed through every day on our way to historic locations would be the more vibrant spots. But nobody in the China I had come to lived in the Forbidden Palace or made sacrifices in the Temple of Worshipping Heaven; the only people we saw in those places were fellow tourists snapping pictures of dead buildings. People lived in these back streets.
It was hard for me to continue thinking of elegant, exotic imperial China and messy, polluted modern China as two different concepts when evidence of the first coexisted in the shadows of the second. In Liaocheng City, where we began our research, we took a break one day to visit the "Old City." Liaocheng, built along a river, had once had a square moat dug around the entire city, though today the single-story rows of shops and tall clusters of skyscrapers spread out far beyond the embrace of the water. Within the moat, the houses were older and closer together, with enclosed courtyards and little gardens, walls painted peeling white and red and roofs still covered with red clay tile. At the center of the Old City was a massive wooden tower. From its top floor, we could look out and see the remnants of the city wall that had once sat behind the moat, now only surviving at each corner of the water-bound square.
Beyond the walls and the moat, I could also see the skyscraper clusters of the expanded city and the high, bright red, steeply pointed roof of a library. Directly below the tower, I could see the old houses and their green courtyards, but I could also see cars and bicycles in the dusty, narrow streets, and the pedestrians wearing modern clothes and talking into cell phones. Looking down from this historical watchtower, I expected--almost wanted--to be disappointed with the view, to find the charm of the old neighborhoods ruined by the car-littered streets and the obviously modern renovations made on some of the buildings. If I had imagined such a scene before I had come to China, I knew that I would have envisioned it as the sprawl of dirty modern life polluting this bastion of the past. But instead, I had the same feeling as I had walking through the back streets of Beijing two weeks before. The people in the streets and houses of Liaocheng's Old City were moving, living, and thriving there. Forbidding cars one the roads and additions on the houses might have frozen this bastion of the past, but instead, the people of Liaocheng were building on it. They had struck a balance with the city that was respectful of their history--the moat was not filled in to create more land, the old houses had not been bulldozed to build more space-efficient skyscrapers--but neither were they holding it in stasis.
I didn't realize at that moment that what I had imagined when I immersed myself in imperial China, or rather a version of it that had been sharply cut off at the turn of the 18th century, was a country in stasis. I had set the ancient China I enjoyed reading about at such a remove that it was hardly a thing of the real world at all. I had been thinking of it as another world, almost a fantasy culture. Traveling through China, meeting people whose ancestors had lived in that culture--that very real culture--and whose daily lives still contained threads of it, forced me to relocate it back to the real world in my own head. When I think now of ancient China, I can think of the moats around Liaocheng's Old City, crossed by modern car-bearing bridges, or the old gate I saw at the edge of a countryside village, the stones of its inner arch scraped by the tall vans that had come through, but still standing sentinel over the road.

Endurance Programming 11/19/12-1/5/13
This week is the beginning of a new 6-week running cycle. We'll be starting back with the basics with very approachable workouts. If you've never come to running class before, now is the perfect time to get started!
Do you look at running on the schedule and think about how you wouldn't touch it with a ten-foot pole? Or about how you joined CrossFit so that you wouldn't have to run anymore? Or do you think you know nothing about running so your mechanics will be all wrong? Do you just straight up hate running?
Think about how you felt before joining CrossFit in general. Did it look easy? Did you think you would show up and already know how to do all of the movements perfectly? I'm sure for a handful of you, the answer is 'yes' (though I would also bet that you had a pretty rude awakening on your first day). For most of you, the answer is 'no.' Endurance class isn't any different. Sure, your form won't be perfect on the first day – nobody's is. It's just like the first time you squatted – we'll work patiently with you until you get it right. And in the same way that we didn't give you regular WODs that you couldn't handle right off the bat, we won't ask you to run a marathon. We'll start with appropriate distances and paces. I would also venture to guess that for a lot of you, running will feel much easier than it used to now that you've got a month or two (or six) of CrossFit under your belt. Don't be afraid to try new things!
So why should you run? What's so great about it?
First off, the CF Games may be a pretty decent test of all-around fitness, but I really think the best measurement is the zombie apocalypse. Will you survive? If you can't run, you're probably out of luck. The heaviest lifts in the world aren't going to save you if you can't escape. For those of you who like more 'measurable' data, there's also always been an Endurance event in the Games, as well as more running throughout other WODs. In every year but 2012, there's also been a running-specific event at Regionals. The Advanced Class and Death Squad rosters were just announced – if you're on them, you better be ready to run (and row, for that matter). There are very few competitions, local or otherwise, that don't include some kind of running.
What if you're not looking to be a competitive CrossFitter or survive the zombie apocalypse? Does it still matter? Sure does. CrossFit is all about functional fitness – fitness that will last through your more senior years and act as a buffer against age. Fitness that helps you play with your kids, get into and out of your chair a little better, reach for things overhead safely, and generally live life a little easier. Nothing is more primal than running. Our ability to run is the origin of our evolution, it's what gave us our edge over every other creature. If you'd like to know more about that, just ask – I'd love to talk about it. For now, just know that if you're not running, you're missing a major part of your evolutionary heritage.
Have you ever had the perfect moment in Olympic lifting where everything goes right and the bar feels weightless? When you learn to run correctly, that's exactly what it feels like. Effortless. If running feels miserable to you, just know that you're not really running. Not in the true sense of the word. So if that's what's holding you back, please, give it another try. Learn to do it correctly and you may just fall in love with it. Imagine if any time there was running in a WOD it felt like rest time to you?
So, without further ado, here's the programming for the next 6 weeks. Keep in mind that each of these workouts will be THE running WOD for the week. This means that in one week, the running WOD will be the same for Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Saturday. Generally, we recommend that you supplement your regular CF WODs with 1-2 Endurance WODs per week. If you are training specifically for Endurance, let me know, as you will have slightly different programming needs.
Week 1 (11/19-11/24)
1a. 4 x 30-45s @ 94-96 cadence
b. Drills in between repeats, rest as needed
c. 1 x 2:00 @ 91 cadence.
d. Repeat all of the above one more time. If you've never run at a specific cadence before, just know that these are pretty slow paces.
Week 2 (11/26-12/1)
1a. 4 x 1:00 @ 96 cadence
b. drills in between repeats, rest as needed
c. 1 x 4:00 @ 91 cadence
d. repeat all of the above one more time
Week 3 (12/3-12/8)
1a. 4 x 1:00 @ 98 cadence, recover as needed
b. 1 drill after all repeats complete
c. 1 x 6:00 @ 93-95 cadence
Week 4 (12/10-12/15)
1a. 4 x 1:30 @ 100 cadence
b. 1 drill between each repeat
c. 1 x 6:00 @ 92-94 cadence
d. repeat all of the above two more times
Week 5 (12/17-12/22)
1a. 4 x 90s @ 101-102 cadence
b. 2:00 rest between each plus 1 drill
c. 6:00 @ 93-95 cadence
Week 6 (12/24- 12/29)
1a. 4 x 1:30 @ 102-103 cadence
b. 2:00 rest plus drills in between
c. 6:00 @ 94-96 cadence
Rowing will be programmed week to week but, generally speaking, Monday & Tuesday will be shorter intervals, Wednesday & Thursday will be medium intervals, and Saturday will be a longer row. The week of 11/19 is as follows:
Monday & Tuesday: Row for a total of 2500 meters at a sustainable intensity, varying your stroke rate as follows: row 500 meters @ 26 spm, 500 meters @ 24 spm, 500 meters @ 22 spm, 500 meters @ 24 spm, and 500 meters @ 26 spm
Wednesday (Thursday is Thanksgiving): 3x1000m, 3:00 active rest
Saturday: Row 5k with the first 2000m @ 24 spm, then 2000m @ 26 spm and the last 1000m @ 28 spm

Q: Where can I find the best hotel deals online? —Jacob Kipp, Lafayette, Calif.
A: "New functionality at tried-and-true booking sites has made finding low rates simpler than ever. Bing recently added a tool that allows you to compare current rates with historical ones in thirty U.S. cities; a map pops up with hotel options flagged by color (green is a steal, yellow is average, and red means steer clear). The Orbitz Hotel Price Assurance Guarantee refunds you the difference if another user on the site gets a better deal than you.

Q: I am planning a trip to the East Coast this summer. What are some of the best hiking trails? —Isabele Kimpton, Wooster, Ohio
A: New York's Mount Jo is a great choice for beginners, thanks to its free, guided nature tours up a two-mile path with summit views of the Adirondack High Peaks region. A more difficult challenge can be found on Vermont's third-highest peak, Camel's Hump. The gradually ascending 6.8-mile Monroe Loop culminates in panoramic views of New Hampshire's White Mountains. And Mount Desert Island, in Maine's Acadia National Park, offers two short but technical trails: the 1.6-mile Precipice and the one-mile Beehive, both of which involve steep climbs with the chance to view endangered peregrine falcons.
Q: Can you recommend an outfitter offering a classic cultural itinerary in Egypt this fall? —Mark Gregory, Setauket, N.Y.
A: The 15-day Discover Egypt trip from eco-friendly Intrepid Travel (intrepidtravel.com; from $1,215 per person, double) covers the major sites—the Sphinx, Giza Pyramids, and Valley of the Kings—and includes an overnight stay with a Nubian family in a traditional mud-walled house. Lindblad Expeditions (expeditions.com; from $4,700 per person, double) is offering a 10-day Egyptologist-led Nile cruise aboard the 54-person Salacia with shore excursions to the Temple of Horus and the Luxor Museum, among other spots. Finally, Ker & Downey (kerdowney.com; prices vary) creates customized itineraries that may include guided tours of Cairo's bazaars and ancient Alexandria.
Q: My husband and I are visiting Paris next month. Any ideas for an affordable three-day itinerary? —Margaret Brown, Fort Worth, Tex.
A: Make the new 29-room BLC Design your base, before heading to Pinacothèque de Paris, a contemporary art museum hosting the city's first Edvard Munch retrospective in 20 years. Come evening, the ever-changing menu at Frenchie (dinner for two $98) features dishes such as cauliflower soup with candied lemon. The next day, try the Mozambique shrimp at Yam'Tcha (lunch for two $80) and catch a performance in the Jardin Shakespeare (jardinshakespeare.fr), as part of the city's annual theater festival. On your last day, take a guided tour of the brand-new Institut Français de la Mode, in the Cité de la Mode et du Design, an industrial design complex.

There are a number of reasons why I decided to contribute to this blog. One of them was because sometimes I find myself in a no-(wo)man's land when it comes to media portrayals of Indonesian Muslim women in general. Years ago, I came across this meme about hijabs. The image on the bottom left struck me as a familiar stereotype of Indonesian women, one that is most especially notable in the Middle East: that of the lowly-educated housemaids. My mother, who travels to Saudi Arabia on a regular b … [Read more...]
Muslimahs Want Their MTV
Last year, I got a call from a young cousin who informed me, with sheer glee, that the new One Direction music video featured a young Muslim in hijab. Those few seconds in the video that highlighted a giddy, veiled teenager were a breakthrough for young identifiable Muslimahs in the world. I think this meant that I was supposed to embrace the boy band that I had successfully been trying to avoid. I must admit I checked out the video. OK, I can't lie. I watched it on repeat about ten times. ( … [Read more...]
"Hip Hop Hijabis": Catching Up with Muneera of Poetic Pilgrimage
A few weeks ago, I had the opportunity to catch up with director of the documentary film "Hip Hop Hijabis," Mette Reitzel, who followed the lives of UK-based hip hop duo, Poetic Pilgrimage.Poetic Pilgrimage consists of two Muslim convert women, Tanya Muneera Williams and Sukina Owen-Douglas, who have shaken the U.K hip hop scene.

Mali is a country well known for its strong musical traditions. In a country where music is viewed as part of a cultural heritage, it is especially used as a means through which history is recorded.

Predictors of Posttraumatic Stress and Growth Among Black and White Survivors of Hurricane Katrina: Does Perceived Quality of the Governmental Response Matter?

Data from the Baseline Survey of the Hurricane Katrina Community Advisory Group Study (Kessler 2009) were used to explore the predictors of posttraumatic growth and posttraumatic stress among black (n = 265) and white (n = 715) adult survivors of Hurricane Katrina. We focus on the perceived quality of the governmental response and cognitive processing related to the response on posttraumatic outcomes, and whether there were racial group differences. We also consider the impact of demographic factors and severity of stress. Results of hierarchical linear regression showed that being black, older, having lower educational attainment, and experiencing greater perceived stress and loss during Katrina positively predicted greater posttraumatic growth. Being female, living below the poverty line, and experiencing greater perceived stress and loss positively predicted posttraumatic stress symptoms. More positive views of the governmental response were associated with greater posttraumatic growth and more negative views with greater posttraumatic stress symptomology. Moreover, it was found that race significantly moderated the effect between perceived quality of the response and posttraumatic stress. Subgroup analysis corroborated the interaction effect and showed that while perceived quality of the governmental response significantly predicted posttraumatic stress for black survivors, it was not a significant predictor for white survivors. This study sheds light on some of the factors and conditions under which positive and negative post-trauma outcomes occurred after Katrina. We propose that racial group differences in the impact of perceived quality of the response on posttraumatic stress may be related to views among some black survivors that the emergency response was discriminatory.

There have been times during the past few years when I become confused as to who is in charge of the Egyptian government or who is headed for jail or who, exactly, should I be rooting for in the Egyptian league of becoming champion. At the last turn around, the Egyptian army returned to power and threw in jail the bad guys who are known as the Muslim Brotherhood. It now turns out they were not my brother and they had no sense of brotherhood with me. If I was Coptic Christian the last place to seek safety was the interior of a mosque. Anyway, the MB is composed of bad people and since I am a good person, then I must dislike all bad people. Of course, a several months ago, all the bad people were really good people and those I was supposed to dislike were really folk who were my friends.
For the moment, members of the Muslim Brotherood must be avoided. That is, they must be disliked until they reach a point in time when they become the very good guys and I have to return to the right list of folk to hate. Until then, I need a nap.

Accountability: Two new audits reveal failures in ObamaCare on a scale even we didn't think possible, with unresolved discrepancies, rules violations and technology problems that expose taxpayers to massive overpayments.
In the first of a series of ObamaCare audits, the Health and Human Services inspector general found 2.9 million "inconsistencies" in applications submitted to the federal HealthCare.gov exchange in the first five months of open enrollment.
In other words, the Social Security numbers, income, family size, citizenship or other information applicants provided didn't match existing government data. Some 1.3 million of the problems involved citizenship, and an additional million involved income, the IG said.
Worse, the IG found HHS was unable to resolve 2.6 million of these discrepancies because the ObamaCare "eligibility system was not fully operational." This means the government "cannot ensure that an applicant meets each of the eligibility requirements for enrollment" or that they're getting the right tax subsidies.
How huge are these numbers? Consider that only 6 million had filled out applications by the end of February and just 2.6 million had enrolled. And of the 300,000 problems the HHS was capable of resolving, it had managed to do so for only 10,000.
Meanwhile, the 11 state-run exchanges had a total of 422,772 problems — equal to 34% of the applications they'd received. These states didn't say how many of these had been resolved.
If that wasn't bad enough, a separate IG report found the federal exchange and two state exchanges didn't have adequate internal controls to make sure they were protecting taxpayers from fraud and abuse.
Looking at just 45 randomly selected applications, the analysis found cases where income data were wrong, Social Security numbers hadn't been checked, citizenship or legal status hadn't been verified and information was entered incorrectly.
The IG said that, as a result, the exchanges had limited ability "to prevent the use of inaccurate or fraudulent information."
Oh, and the government apparently hasn't been properly reconciling its enrollment numbers with insurance companies to account for dropouts and cancellations — casting more doubt on enrollment numbers.
If ObamaCare were a private company, you can bet its executives would be facing criminal charges. Instead, Obama and the press are cheering ObamaCare as a great success.

IRA Insights: Vanguard research shines light on investor behavior
December 23, 2016
Nearly three out of every ten U.S. households own an Individual Retirement Account (IRA), representing a total of more than $7.4 trillion in assets.
Are most investors maximizing their IRA contributions? What are the trends around IRA use?
On a regular basis, Vanguard researchers analyze how investors are using IRAs and whether they're missing opportunities that could improve their chances for building a bigger retirement nest egg.
Roth IRA owners can keep a good thing going
December 2016One big advantage of a Roth IRA compared with a traditional IRA is that contributions can be withdrawn at any time without incurring taxes or penalties. This makes it ideal for investors who are beginning to build wealth. Young investors can contribute even before they have a separate emergency fund, knowing that contributions can be withdrawn if needed. Fortunately, however, Roth IRA owners seem more interested in building assets than using them.

Another way to diversify
April 2016When investing for retirement, investors can benefit from having different types of retirement accounts. Roth IRA contributions, unlike those of traditional IRAs, offer no immediate tax deduction but provide tax-free earnings and withdrawals. In 2015, more than $2 of every $3 contributed to a Vanguard IRA went into a Roth. Another way to increase tax diversification: Roth conversions. Investors who retire with traditional IRAs sometimes take advantage of their lower tax rates to make partial Roth conversions before age 70½, when Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs) begin.

Are you an IRA superstar?
March 2016An IRA superstar never misses a chance to contribute. Taking full advantage of an IRA means making a contribution every year without fail. An IRA superstar contributes the maximum. Making the most of your IRA means contributing not only each year, but also as much as you can. An IRA superstar doesn't procrastinate. To really maximize the tax advantages of an IRA, it is best to contribute early in the year.

IRA investors avoiding the panic button
January 2016Large asset allocation changes are rare among Vanguard investors with most not making drastic portfolio allocation changes. They generally stick to their plan. In fact, fewer than 1 in 4 investors who owned Vanguard IRAs continuously from 2007 through September 2015 ever made a change that altered the stock allocation in the IRA by more than 20 percentage points in a single month.

Is your IRA a globe-trotter?
October 2015"Home bias" refers to the tendency of investors to favor investments from their own country. However, like investors the world over who can benefit from owning stocks outside their country of residence, most U.S. stock investors should take advantage of the diversification benefits of holding foreign-company stocks. As the relative market capitalization of international stocks has expanded, and costs of international investing have declined, Vanguard has recommended increased international exposure.

Theory versus reality: Gliding into retirement
July 2015The concept of a retirement "glide path" refers to a set of asset allocations followed by investors over a lifetime to try to reach their goals. On the path, an investor generally moves from allocations focused primarily on stocks to those focused more on bonds. The idea of moving from more risky to less risky assets as one approaches retirement is a key principle of Vanguard Target Retirement Funds. But how do actual IRA investors "glide" to retirement? To find out, we studied the allocations of more than 3.3 million Vanguard IRA® investors.

Location, location, location
March 2015To maximize IRAs, investors should consider "asset location." This means holding tax-inefficient investments in IRAs, while keeping tax-efficient investments in taxable accounts. Our research shows that active equity funds are also a good choice to include in IRAs and some IRA investors may have opportunities for tax savings.

Finding balance
January 2015Nearly 40% of Vanguard IRA® investors own a balanced fund in their IRA, with younger investors, especially, drawn to these funds. Our research shows that holding balanced funds may help& investors avoid the trap of 'extreme' allocations.

The benefits of a "backdoor" Roth
November 2014Higher-income investors who want access to Roth IRAs may need to use the back door. Each year, more Vanguard investors make backdoor contributions. Over time, the tax benefit should prove well worth the additional step.

A tale of three birth years
October 2014At first glance, "millennial" IRA investors seem to have considerable catching-up to do. However, each year more millennials are opening IRAs. Millennial IRA owners are also more likely to make a contribution. If average balance and cash-flow patterns continue, millennials are on pace to surpass prior generations.
Read the article | Download a copy
But what if I don't want my RMD?
September 2014Retirees who need income from their investment portfolios should start by spending their required minimum distributions (RMDs). However, investors are not actually required to spend what they withdraw. Investors who don't need to spend their RMD should consider converting traditional IRAs to Roth IRAs before age 70½.

IRA contribution report: How do you compare?
September 2014In 2013, average contribution amounts to Vanguard IRAs increased for the fifth consecutive year, and more investors contributed to an IRA than ever before. Much of this growth can be attributed to the 2013 contribution increase, which meant that everyone who contributed the maximum amount contributed more than they did in 2012.

Now is the time to graduate to an IRA
May 2014Helping your graduate find an IRA can ensure he or she doesn't miss out on "prime saving years." Because of compounding, every dollar contributed at age 20 can earn more than twice as much as a dollar contributed at age 35, and more than ten times as much as one contributed at age 55.
Read the article | Download a copy
Are investors breaking from the traditional?
April 2014Vanguard investors favor Roth IRAs over traditional IRAs when making contributions by a margin or 2 to 1. The ratio is even more lopsided for younger investors. One reason for the preference is Roth IRA contributions can be worth more in retirement as investors are allowed to contribute more on an after-tax basis. Over time, these savings can add up.
Read the article | Download a copy
Take it to the limit . . . one more time
March 2014More than half of Vanguard investors who contribute to an IRA save the maximum amount allowable. As investors age more contribute the maximum allowed. Research has shown that the number of investors who contribute the max amount drops when investors reach 50. It's likely that investors don't immediately recognize that when they hit age 50 they're eligible to increase their annual contribution by $1,000.

Are investors subjecting themselves to the "procrastination penalty"?
February 2014More than double the amount of IRA contributions are made shortly before the deadline. Waiting until the last minute to make your annual contribution has a cost as missing out on a year's worth of tax-advantaged compounding is like paying a "procrastination penalty." Investors would be better served by making smaller, regular contributions, or by setting up automatic contributions.
Read the article | Download a copy
Do contribution deadlines lead to poor investment decisions?
January 2014Between January and April the percentage of IRA contributions to money market funds increases as investors are under time constraints to make their annual contribution for the prior tax year. While investors know they need to make a contribution, they often park it in a money market fund because they haven't decided where they want to invest the money. That "temporary" investment becomes permanent for many investors as two-thirds of last minute contributions remained in money market funds four months later.

- All investing is subject to risk, including the possible loss of the money you invest.
- Diversification does not ensure a profit or protect against a loss.
- When taking withdrawals from an IRA before age 59½, you may have to pay ordinary income tax plus a 10% federal penalty tax.
- We recommend that you consult a tax or financial advisor about your individual situation.

SEEDS ON PRESQUE ISLENovember 4, 2012 7:49 am Leave your thoughts
Seed dispersal is the movement or transport of seeds away from the parent plant. We all realize that plants have limited mobility, and must consequently rely upon many ways to disperse their seeds. The wildflowers and all the other plants populating Presque Isle State Park use many ways to ensure that their species not only survive but also flourish on the park. Most seeds are spread away from the parent plant individually or collectively. They are also dispersed in different areas and at different times of the year.
The scattering of seeds away from the parent plant has many benefits. The first is that a seed's chance of survival is often higher away from the parent plant. This may result because of seed predators or pathogens that seem to be higher beneath and in the general area of the adult plants.
Basically, there are five main ways seeds can be dispersed: Gravity, wind, ballistic, water and animals. As most people realize, one of the principle methods that matured seeds use to scatter themselves is the wind. Many of the seeds have feathery plumes that allow them to drift large distances from their mother plant. An important constraint on the dispersal of seeds by the wind is the need for a huge seed production to maximize the likelihood of a seed landing in a location suitable for germination. When I think of seed spreading by wind, I instantly think about the lowly dandelion. To help this spread, many of these same seeds are also gathered by birds for nesting material, and thus are spread to entirely new areas.
Another sort of neat way nature uses to spread seeds is to send them home with you on your clothes as you walk the trails and paths of the park. Of course, I am talking about burrs, hooks, spines and/or adhesives that cling to you and cling to the fur of the animals that roam the park. A good example of that is the common burdock. In fact, a Swiss outdoorsman used the hook/burr structure of the burdock as an example of how Velcro might work.
Many plants simply use gravity to achieve seed dispersal. The effect of gravity on heavier fruits causes them to fall from the plant when ripe. Fruits like apples, coconuts, peaches and passion fruit are examples of this method of seed dispersal. Harder shell fruits often roll away from the adult plant, and others are sometimes carried away by animals or water.
There are several ways a plant goes ballistic and flings their seeds out of the seedpod. All of them rely on the effect of evaporation of water in the seedpod. This method of dispersal usually takes place in the sun. Geraniums use the heat of the sun to actually shoot their seeds out of the pods. When the seeds are ripe, the seed covers split apart, and the seed strip rips up the stem, but is stopped because the stem remains attached, and the seeds are catapulted out at a very high speed.
Many aquatic (water) plants spread their seeds through the water. Some plants that grow near water also use it to disperse seeds. Presque Isle's water lilies are examples of a plant that uses water. When the water lily flower makes a fruit, it will float in the water for a while and then drop to the pond bottom to take root on the floor of the pond. Most common water plants use the water as their way to spread their seeds.
What is interesting about seed dispersal today are the many consequences for the ecology and evolution of plants it might have. Seed dispersal is necessary for species survival and migration. However, in recent times, with the increasing intervention of humans on natural areas, seed dispersal has become an important factor in whether or not a species transported to a new habitat by humans will become an invasive species. Many of the invasive plants on Presque Isle made their way onto the park courtesy of well-meaning visitors. Now that they are part of Presque Isle, they also have their own way of seed dispersal pattern. Unfortunately, invasive plants usually drive out native plants in just a few years.
Over the years, that I have been involved with Presque Isle, many people, including a garden club or two, have volunteered to plant and tend flower gardens all over the park. They all want to keep the park beautiful, which is a noble idea. The park staff, myself and other volunteers have had to explain why that would be a dreadful idea. It all has to do with seed dispersal of non-native ornamental plants. We try to explain that these plants will spread their seeds into areas where they could drive out the native wildflowers and other natural plants.
Mother Nature has a system for seed dispersal and it usually works quite well when it is allowed to do exactly what nature expects it to do. Water lilies grow exactly where nature intended them to grow and this seems to work well for most plants. Come spring, walk on the park and see how, where and why the natural seed dispersal works quite well.
See you on the park!!

Site: Ann Arbor, Mich. (Crisler Arena)
Score: Michigan 74, Minnesota 40
Records: U-M (14-9, 6-7 Big Ten), Minnesota (11-12, 4-8 Big Ten)
Next U-M Event: Thursday, Feb. 11 -- vs. Michigan State (Crisler Arena), 7 p.m.
ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- The University of Michigan women's basketball team used a second-half scoring explosion to run away with a convincing 74-40 victory over Minnesota on Sunday afternoon (Feb. 7) at Crisler Arena. The Wolverines, who outscored the Gophers 45-17 in the second half, shot a blazing 74 percent (17-of-23) in the second frame while holding the Golden Gophers to just 17 percent shooting (6-of-36) en route to their first win over Minnesota since Feb. 29, 2004.
U-M finished the afternoon with three players scoring in double figures, led by sophomore Carmen Reynolds' (Hilliard, Ohio/Davidson) game-high 19 points on 8-of-13 shooting. Senior Krista Phillips (Saskatoon, Saskatchewan/Aden Bowman Collegiate) scored 13 points, including a perfect 3-of-3 from long range, and pulled down a game-high nine rebounds. Freshman Dayeesha Hollins (Cincinnati, Ohio/Winston Wood) scored seven of her 10 points during the strong second half.
A steal and coast-to-coast lay-up from freshman Jenny Ryan (Saginaw, Mich./Saginaw Nouvel Catholic Central) gave the Wolverines their first points of the contest at 17:15, and Phillips drained the first of her three triples to give Michigan a 5-3 edge heading into the first media timeout at 15:58.
The Gophers strung together a 7-0 run while forcing three straight U-M turnovers to take a 10-5 advantage with 13:53 remaining in the first half. Another Phillips three-pointer followed by five straight points from Reynolds allowed the Wolverines to tie the game at 13-13 at 11:31.
Neither team gained a substantial lead over the next 10 minutes of action, as Minnesota clung to a slim 22-21 advantage with 1:50 left until the break. Michigan closed out the half in style, using a 7-2 surge to grab back a 29-23 lead heading into the locker room.
Phillips led the first-half effort with eight points, two rebounds, one block and one steal. The Maize and Blue shot 41 percent (11-of-27) in the first frame while limiting the Gophers to just 33 percent (8-of-24). Four different Wolverines accounted for U-M's five first-half triples.
Michigan stepped up the intensity on both ends of the floor to start the second half, scoring nine straight points while holding Minnesota without a bucket for nearly five minutes. The result was a 38-23 U-M cushion with 15:30 to play. Reynolds and Hollins were responsible for all of the team's points during the early second-half run.
The Wolverines continued their stellar execution on the offensive end of the floor due in large part to the hot hand of Reynolds, who knocked down her second triple of the afternoon to spark a 12-2 run that extended the Michigan lead to 50-27 with 11:30 remaining on the clock. Junior Veronica Hicks (Chicago, Ill./Thornwood) tallied five straight points during outburst, including an old fashioned three-point play at 12:39.
U-M steadily built an insurmountable lead throughout the remainder of the contest, extending its lead to as many as 34 points. The Wolverine reserves played impressively in the late stages, with fifth-year senior Ashley Jones (Southfield, Mich./Martin Luther King) scoring back-to-back buckets over a span of just 18 seconds before freshman Kate Thompson (Plymouth, Minn./Wayzata) drained her sixth career triple at the two-minute mark. All 13 players on Michigan's roster saw time on the court, with all but one finding the scoring column.
The Wolverines are back in action on Thursday (Feb. 11) when they welcome in-state rival Michigan State to Crisler Arena. Tipoff is set for 7 p.m. Fans can follow all the action on BigTenNetwork.com and can catch Matt Park and Nick Brandon on the call on WTKA AM 1050.

Kit Cars !!??
Has anyone ever put together a cool kit car?? in the mag's all you see is STREET BEAST and if you get Kit Car Magazine all you see are Cobra look a likes. Has anyone ever bought a complete " kit" and then drove it down the street???
Street Beast cars are a joke......
If you get you one running, they are laughed at by most street rodders at the rod runs.
Read this: http://www.hotrodders.com/cgibin/ubb/19/002287
Aside from the cobras, 20'30'40's cars , I think most kits are kind of frumpy. You know the ones, some sort of sports car design that fits a vw or fiero...most of those look sort of cheesy. A GT40 would be slick. A Countach with V6 or V8 sound?? all wrong in my eyes.
I've never had one, but its pretty popular around here. There are about 7-10 kit cars drioving around, only a few are done, but they are still here. Me and a bud saw one of those 'glass countach bodies on a feiro at a junk yard. the body and deck lids were there, but no doors. Could have gotten it, but I didn't have any way to get it home. That and my bros's sis got decapitated in a feiro so I stay away from them.
They have a bunch of really cool kits, they are exspensive but they can be a cool little daily driver mod.
ya know, shelby HATES those kit car companies and accually took the biggest one to court so they can't call them cobras anymore and some other crap i don't all remember. I think the article i was reading said he has a plant in arizona and still makes cobras.
For the same reason you don't see StreetBeast kits called "33 Ford Vicky". They're called "33 Vicky" and "33 Coupe" etc. Seems someone at Ford had a problem with the quality and accuracy of the junk that comes from StreetBeast and there was discussion of a law suit. StreetBeast wisely bowed to Ford's wishes and rightly so. If you park one of their "33 Vickys" next to a real 33 Ford they look nothing alike. More like a toy than anything else.
I believe Shelby's facility is in Las Vegas. And yes he does hate Cobra replicar companies. But he can't stop them from calling the cars Cobras as long as they use the term replica as well. Along the same lines, calling a StreetBeast a Ford Vicky would be just like calling a VW Beetle a Corvette. The differences are so great that they're not even in the same class.

so, if I was to build a cobra replicar, (cos I'll never afford an original in my lifetime) would you guys think I'm a wussy?
Just do your homework (you remember that term from school, don't you?) and buy the best kit (body/frame/hardware) you can afford, and if you can't afford the best, save a little more money.
Repop Cobras which are well-built are really neat cars to have, a timeless design and fast with the right drivetrain (regardless of make).
The wussy moniker becomes glued to you when you can't answer the simple questions at the drive-in car gathering:
What suspension and brakes are you using?
What master cylinder/booster did you use?
You know, the stuff any car BUILDER would know.

Hey, we already think you are a wussy so go ahead! (j/k)
lmao left myself open for that.... I can't believe steve or dave didn't nail that one.
and so what if im a wussy.........

I'm gonna use a 350/350 chevy combo :p
or maybe a SLANT SIX.........
"If you build it they will stare" Ok so it's not the right quote but it is the truth. I live in a small town and there is a Shell valley cobra runnin around and everyone thinks the same thing 1 It's not a 'REAL' cobra it's just a kit. and
2 Gee I wish it was mine!
It takes just as much skill to build a decent kit car as most hot rods considering the options you have. I wouldn't say it's in the league of Coddington but since even he is selling kits they must be hotrods of a sort. can you tell I really want one?
By the by I read once that Shelby decided not ot bother fighting the kit companies, he decided if they would make a $1000 donation to heart transplants for each car sold he would drop the lawsuits. Any one else ever hear something along those lines.

Ain't nothin wrong with a Cobra. I've always wanted a GT-40 ever since I got my ***** whooped by one in Gran Tourismo for Playstation One. Yea yea, I know "real good reason loser". But I've never really seen or heard of them till then, so maybe way on down the road, I'll look into it.
I'VE HEARD A LOT OF NEG. PRESS on street beasts, as far as ill fit, poor manufacture of components, etc. i've never seen one up close. (i guess???).... having said that, street beasts also make the only cobra coupe body that i'm aware of........ maybe when i get through with the truck, and have the $$$ to do something else, i'll get to check them out up close and personal....
i'm thinking 2x4 frame with a jag rear, mII front end, and a hot 427 or 428. most likely a 428. a mod motor would be nice, but thats a whole 'nother pita....
factory five? is that the outfit out of dfw that uses the 5.0 setup for the base of the car?
if so, i've not read anything bad about them. check out http://www.clubcobra.com/
How about doing a replica Chevrolet Cheetah? There would be so few people out there that actually would know it was a Cheetah, and far fewer who could pick out replication flaws. Almost nobody knows what the originals looked like, how would they know that the replica is off? And in my biased opinion they are far cooler looking than a Cobra.
Don't get me wrong, I love Cobras and would love to one day own one. But the Cheetah is a rarely done replica.

This Finnish company's equipment weighs about half as much as a "traditional" skid-steer loader and does far less damage to turf, pavers, etc. Also unlike a skid-steer loader, the articulated body's capable of tighter turns and gives operators a 360-degree view. This is why, says President Jukka Lyly-Yrjanainen, the 35 hp 640 saves $50,000 over five years. All of the company's compact loaders accept more than 100 brand-name attachments like this Paladin snow blower and TrynEx International sand/salt spreader. Mini-skidsteer, MT, and full-size attachment mounting adapter and quick-coupler also are available to turn the loader into a mower, auger, excavator, sweeper, sprayer, material lift, plow, mulcher, and/or flail.
Question: This machine is manufactured overseas and sold through a wholly owned U.S. division in Illinois. Does a made-in-the-USA (or some other) requirement prevent your department from buying it? E-mail firstname.lastname@example.com.

Interview: Ambassador and Visionary Chou Wen-chung
As part of our China in New York festival, from Monday, January 23 to Friday, January 27 at 12 noon with repeats at 7 pm on Q2 Music, composer Huang Ruo interviews a different Chinese-born composer who has lived in the United States and become prominent to New York City audiences.
It would be difficult to overstate the importance of Chou Wen-chung when it comes to contemporary music. Not only has he developed over the course of his almost 90 years a shimmering, pointillistic yet lyrical style, but he edited and completed many of his teacher Edgard Varèse's works.
He also helped to develop the composition department at Columbia University into an internationally recognized institution, served as a cultural ambassador between China and the US by bringing over many China-based composers (Chen Yi, Zhou Long, Tan Dun and Bright Sheng), and was the president of the forward-thinking record label CRI. Besides Varèse, his teachers have included Otto Luening, Nicholas Slonimsky, and Bohuslav Martinu.
In this interview with composer Huang Ruo, Chou discusses how he came to know and study with Varèse, his understanding of how the arts bridged China-US relations when politics could not, and how Chinese culture underpins his musical aesthetic to this day. Chou also provides cautionary advice to today's composers by deconstructing the notion and place of experimentation.
The complete Q2 Music China in New York festival interviews:
Monday, January 23 at 12 noon and 7pm: Zhou Long
Tuesday, January 24 at 12 noon and 7 pm: Du Yun
Wednesday, January 25 at 12 noon and 7 pm: Lei Liang
Thursday, January 26 at 12 noon and 7 pm: Chou Wen-chung
Friday, January 27 at 12 noon and 7 pm: Min Xiao-fen

rolled copper tube for compressor line?
After reading of the need to cool air to get the water out I had the following idea but don't know if it would work. Build a support out of wood in a corner of the shop. Take 50' or 100' of 3/4" copper tube and wrap it around the support like a snake climbing a tree securing it to hold it in place. Place a water trap & drain at the bottom and connect the top to airline running across shop to hose reel. I could place fans to blow over this tubing for extra cooling when running hard. Does this sound like it would work & if so, would sweat soldered connections hold up to pressure? I would run a flex rubber hose from the compressor to the copper so vibration shouldn't be a problem.
Steve, While that would work (be careful with that soft copper tubing since it really is not suited for this) it may be a case of over-kill. If you have the room to run an ample amount of metal line, over 50 ft, then you probably will not have a problem.
