The Thule
The Thule are the precontact ancestors of the Inuit who now live in northern Labrador. (The name comes from a small community in northwestern Greenland where the culture was first classified.) Thule culture appears to have grown out of an exchange of ideas, and perhaps peoples, from the Bering Sea and the north coast of Alaska just before about 1000 years ago. Many archaeologists believe that around 1000 years ago, as the climate of the earth warmed, leads opened up in the ice of the Beaufort Sea and Amundsen Gulf allowing these north Alaskan people to follow bowhead whales eastward in the summer. The Thule culture, as archaeologists would call it, rapidly spread out across the Canadian Arctic and eventually to Greenland and Labrador.
Thule Technology
Members of the Thule culture developed a remarkable technology to deal with the Arctic. In a region where Europeans and their descendants have never been able to live without outside assistance, the Thule people flourished. They were able to use the bones, teeth and skins of the animals they killed in order to hunt those same animals. Large whaling and travelling boats called umiaks were constructed with a frame of walrus ribs covered with walrus hide. Smaller one-person, skin kayaks were also used in the whale hunt. Driftwood was cleverly fashioned into dog sleds which often had whale bone runners, and sealskins were cut and braided into the harness and traces. Sea-mammal bone and ivory were carved into harpoons and lances, and musk ox horn was used to reinforce the short, powerful Inuit bow.

This remarkable technology extended to housing as well. In winter, the Thule lived in warm pit houses dug well into the ground, paved with flat stone slabs and framed with wood or whale ribs and jaws. This frame was covered with walrus skin upon which sods were piled. Entry into these houses was through a long tunnel which dipped down at its centre thus trapping the cold air below the level of the house floor. Inside these houses Thule families could rest comfortably on stone platforms covered with furs. The long winter nights were lit and heated with soapstone lamps which burned seal and whale oil. In the spring, when the ground began to thaw and water accumulated in the pit houses, the people moved into skin tents which would be their homes until the next winter.
When hunting or travelling, the Thule built snow houses, popularly called "igloos"--another invention superbly adapted to Arctic conditions. Using special snow knives made of bone or horn, Thule igloo-builders carved blocks of snow and piled them one upon another to create the familiar domed structure so often associated with the Inuit of the Canadian Arctic. The heat from a soapstone lamp burning seal or whale oil would glaze the inside of these snow houses with a layer of ice that helped to keep out the cold and wind.

Hunting Techniques
Thule hunting technology was as ingenious as their house-building. Their culture was based upon their ability to kill huge bowhead whales that could reach up to 20 meters in length. These whales provided enormous amounts of food that could keep a village well-fed throughout a long winter. To kill them, Thule whalers used umiaks that could hold 20 or so men to bring them to the whale. Once a whale was spotted and the umiak closed with it, a harpooner would thrust a large toggling harpoon into the animal. A series of inflated sealskin floats attached to the line acted as a drag hindering the whale from diving to escape his hunters. When the whale surfaced, more harpoons and lances would be driven into it until the animal was dead.
In winter, when land-fast ice made whaling impossible, seal hunters had developed a very effective way of taking animals through the ice. First the hunter would cut a hole through the ice and then place a feather or a chip of wood in the water. When it moved, it was a signal that a ringed seal was coming up to breathe. To keep the water clear of ice, the hunter periodically scooped out the ice with a device that looked like a paddle with holes in it. To attract seals, the hunter sometimes scratched on the ice with seal claws. When the indicator fluttered, the hunter drove his harpoon (a smaller version of the whaling harpoon) into the seal and dragged it up. Often, the hunter fitted a "wound plug", carved of ivory, into the wound to keep the blood, a highly nutritious food, from leaking away.
While hunting seals, a Thule man had to keep warm and dry. A wet foot could ultimately result in frozen toes, and perhaps death through gangrene. Thus the sewing skills of Thule women were as vital to the survival of a community, as those of a male hunter. Waterproof sealskin was used for boots and Thule women sewed incredibly tiny, tight stitches using a sinew thread. (The favoured sinew, or tendon, was taken from the backs of caribou.) Holes were pierced in the skin with a bone awl, and then sewed with a fine, bone needle. Where waterproofing was necessary, Thule women sewed a double line of stitches along two pieces of skin that overlapped. When the sinew thread got wet, it swelled, effectively plugging up the holes made by the awl. Leggings and parkas were commonly made of caribou hide. Caribou hairs are hollow and contain air--an excellent insulator. Caribou skin clothing was often exquisitely tailored, light, and incredibly warm. It was far superior to the heavy woolen clothing used by Europeans in the Arctic.
As one might expect, Thule transportation was equally well-adapted to the Arctic. In cold weather, the people used dog teams pulling sleds. These light, strong sleds were usually made of driftwood with whalebone runners. So that they would glide more easily across the snow and ice, drivers would often pour water over the runners; the water froze almost instantly and the sled now had runners that were almost as slick as teflon. On water, as we have seen, the umiak was the preferred vessel for transporting large numbers of people, goods and dogs. Single hunters or travellers, however, used the light, skin boat called a kayak. This too was another invention unique to Arctic peoples. The boatman sat in the kayak with a "skirt" fastened from his waist to the deck which prevented water from coming in and swamping his vessel. Powered by a double-bladed paddle, it was faster and more manoeuvrable than any one-person European vessel.
Geographical Location
This, then, was the technology that Thule people brought to Labrador about 750 years ago. As one might expect, the earliest Thule sites are found in the far north of Labrador at places such as Killiniq Island (formerly Killinek Island) and Staffe Island. Here, Smithsonian archaeologist William Fitzhugh found evidence of what may be some of the earliest Thule people to come to Labrador. Between about 1250 AD and 1450 AD Thule pioneers, whose forebears had almost certainly lived in Baffin Island, established three villages from which they hunted walrus, seal, and birds. These small settlements, perhaps numbering 25 to 35 individuals, appear to have been occupied in the late winter/early spring. The Staffe Island people built two types of houses, shallow, rectangular houses, averaging about 4 x 5 m, and deeper rectangular houses, averaging about 5 x 6 m. The larger houses had paved entrance passages, interior rock roof supports, paved floors, and rear sleeping platforms. Evidence of cooking and small pieces of slate ulu knives (commonly used by Inuit women) were recovered from the eastern side of the house which led the archaeologists to suggest that this was the women's side of the house. By contrast, flensing knives, and harpoon and lance blades were recovered from the west side of the house, suggesting that this was the men's side.

In 1989, the Smithsonian archaeologists found evidence of what they believe to be a kashim, or ceremonial house, at Staffe Island. It was oval in shape and lacked a sleeping platform, but instead, there were stone benches along the walls. Relying upon records from the Moravian missionaries, who came to Labrador in the late 18th century, Canadian Museum of History ethnologist, J. Garth Taylor, has found evidence of Labrador Inuit construction and use of the kashim. Such structures were used as communal buildings within which people sang, danced, and carried out rituals important to the survival of the community. The discovery of this sort of structure at Staffe Island provides a useful glimpse at the spiritual and communal life of Labrador's first Inuit.
Staffe Island represents the beginning of the Thule occupation of Labrador. By about 1500 AD, the Thule settlers had reached Saglek, and by perhaps 1550 AD the Labrador Inuit, as they should be designated by that date, had established their settlements in the Nain-Hopedale region. Not long after, Labrador Inuit explorers had reached the Basque site at Red Bay, perhaps in search of the abundance of iron objects to be found at such places. Here, Memorial University archaeologist James Tuck has reported finding a slate endblade, a soapstone pendant, and seal bones used in an Inuit game. By this time the complex interaction between the Inuit and Europeans that is characteristic of the historic period had begun.

/// Utah's Startup Scene Is Almost as Spectacular as Its Fall Scenery
This week, I've been in Park City, Utah, attending the Venture Capital in the Rockies Fall conference . Basically it's a gathering of VCs based in the intermountain west and early-stage startup companies on the hunt for investors. As you can see from the image I snapped with my iPhone on the day of my arrival, the fall foliage makes for a pretty awesome view, and the cold crisp air — it even snowed briefly yesterday — has an infectious quality to it. But there's more to the place than pretty pictures. There's a fairly active tech startup scene here. I sat through several presentations yesterday from some companies with cool ideas that are just getting off the ground. Here's a few that caught my attention. Storyvine: This two-person startup based in Boulder, Colo. aims to make producing high-quality videos easier and cheaper than ever before. It walks you through the process of shooting and editing a video in a way that comes out more polished and thoughtful. Computing giant IBM is an early client. Founder Kyle Shannon started the interactive marketing firm Agency.com back in the 1990s, took it public and later sold it to Omnicom. Monique Elwell is longtime Wall Street analyst. Cypher: If you've ever tried to take a call on your mobile phone in a noisy environment, like a restaurant or on a busy street, you're going to want Cypher technology on your phone. It has developed a technology to isolate the sound of your voice, mute the background noise you don't want to hear. The result is a clearer call.

" Brand: Zoflora / Product Type: Air Freshener "
* Prices may differ from that shown
**Why I bought this**
I have a bit of an obsession with cleaning products and whilst these days you can buy one item that will multi task and do almost everything, I still end up buying several different items for different jobs. I recently became a huge fan of Zoflora though and have found it handy for a multitude of tasks, and since my discovery of this wonderful product I have been working my way through the different fragrances which are available. I had previously been using the lavender fragrance which I love for cleaning my home with, but when I went to the shops last week to restock having ran out I found they had every single fragrance except the lavender so opted for this - 'Flower Shop' instead which sounded pleasant enough.
My review will now focus on my experience of using Flower Shop Zoflora around my home..
**What is it?**
Zoflora is a concentrated disinfectant that comes in a small 56ml sized glass bottle. Some Zoflora products come housed in squeezable plastic bottles though the majority are still in glass ones such as this. It can be used for cleaning and disinfecting the home in many ways and once diluted makes 2.2 litres of full strength disinfectant and as this costs anything from 69p upwards it makes this a very economical household product to keep in.
**How to use**
Zoflora can be used neat but it is only recommended it to be used this way in sinks/ drains and toilet bowls. To dilute use 1 cap full to 40 parts water which will give you 140ml of disinfectant, and I usually store mine in a plastic spray bottle (the sort of travel size ones you can buy for taking on holiday as this is an ideal size).
**Where it can be used to clean**
Zoflora can be used to clean and disinfect the following:
Once diluted it can be used to also clean areas where pets are kept but the area must be fully dry before allowing pets back again (such as if mopping the floor near to where they have a basket/ cushion etc not directly on anything they may eat or drink out of).
If stored in a spray bottle, which is my own preferred way of using this product, it can be liberally spritzed around the home to create a fresh fragrance and because of the intense scent it lingers in the home freshening the air for far longer than an average air freshener does in my opinion.
**Do's and Don'ts**
*As you can imagine from this product being a concentrated disinfectant it's not going to be kind to skin and it's advised to wash immediately with water if any splashes in the eyes or comes into contact with the skin.
*Don't allow Zoflora to come into contact with polished wood
*Don't mix with other chemicals
*Do store upright and away from direct sunlight
*Do wash hands thoroughly after using this
Zoflora is highly flammable though once fully diluted becomes non-flammable
This is a 3 in 1 product that kills 99.9% of bacteria and viruses (apparently) including E. coli, MRSA, Listeria, Salmonella, Influenza Type A, Human Herpes Virus, Rotavirus and RSV.
It offers a long lasting effective freshness around the home and is particularly effective against stubborn smells such as drains, bins and pet areas.
Zoflora describe Flower Shop as "...Sweet and heady florals with hints of green leaves and freshly cut stems.."
**Price, packaging & availability**
I first started buying Zoflora from my local Iceland supermarket as I spotted it being sold at a reasonable £1, but then noticed it was only a mere 69p in Superdrug so since then have been buying it from there. It can be purchased from most supermarkets and shops that sell cleaning products and is normally found in the cleaning section near to the disinfectants and bleaches.
As mentioned most of the Zoflora fragrances comes presented in glass bottles with the exception of the odd few being in plastic bottles. Flower Shop is encased in a thick and sturdy transparent glass bottle which stands upright with a wide appearance at the front and slim line from the side angle. It tapers in towards the neck where there is a small plastic white cap that screws on and off for access. The cap isn't child proof though so it's worth bearing this in mind when storing as if young children were to get hold of a bottle the lid unscrews with relative ease so Zoflora should always be stored out of the reach and of children (as should all products of this nature but that goes without saying).
**My experience of using Zoflora 'Flower Shop'**
I've mentioned before in a similar review that although it is only recently I have started to use this product I have actually been aware of it for many years. My Gran & Grandad owned a caravan and I always remember seeing a bottle of Zoflora in the cleaning cupboard whenever I stayed there though apart from this I never really knew what it actually did. When I visited a friend's home and commented on the lovely floral aroma that greeted me she informed me that it was Zoflora that she had simply poured down her drains to freshen them up and from that moment I would be hooked on a new cleaning product (sad I know).
I've tried most of the different fragrances so far and have been relatively impressed with each and every one though until purchasing Flower Shop recently it was the first occasion that I had actually used this. I tend to use Zoflora for a multitude of cleaning tasks and find it most effective for mopping my floors and pouring down my drains. I've been quite impressed with all of the different fragrances but what did I think of Flower Shop?
On opening the screw cap lid I was very pleasantly surprised with the aroma that greeted me. I expected something overly floral but what I was in fact met with was a strong floral theme that was mainly encompassed by a freshly cut grass and very very 'green' essence. Their was a predominant leafy aroma and I have to say Flower Shop reminded me of it's title as the fragrance was similar to entering a florists and not remotely artificial.
When I have used Flower Shop around my home the fragrance seems to linger for at least an hour and smells very fresh and natural and not like I have simply been using a disinfectant. Despite Zoflora being a transparent liquid (with a slight yellow hue) when neat it turns into a cloudy white colour when added to water though this doesn't stain when using arounf my home, nor does it stain if using neat.
This is one of my favourite fragrances so far and smells so fresh and Summery and for the small sum of 69p it is worth every penny. I use about one bottle of Zoflora a week as I tend to over use it but if used correctly it will probably last around 2 weeks or more making it still very good value.
There are many different products on the market that all claim to multitask but I think Zoflora is one that really lives up to it's claim. It freshens my toilet, drains, disinfects my work tops and cleans my floors so I can't really ask for more.
Although it doesn't remove stains it certainly freshens up my home and is a constant on my shopping list.
Highly recommended.
Antibacterial room spray. Brand: Zoflora. Air fresheners. / Flowershop is a sweet and heady floral fragrance with hints of green leaves and freshly cut stems. Available in 56ml bottles.

An MBA, or master's degree in business administration, is a professional degree that equips students with the skills necessary to succeed in the world of business. Students in MBA programs learn about the practical realities of the business world as well as how to effectively apply that knowledge to improve a business's brand image, employee satisfaction, and productivity.
TABLE of CONTENTS
Students in other master's degree programs often come straight from their undergraduate degrees to continue their studies, but MBA programs often prefer those who have some practical experience in the business world. Most students in MBA programs, whether they study at online MBA schools or traditional campuses, are professionals who have already begun to establish themselves in the field of business. MBA students come from diverse backgrounds, ranging from supervisors and middle managers who have hit a ceiling in their professional development to vice presidents and executives looking to increase their knowledge to improve their overall performance. Because it is such a career-oriented degree, many online MBA programs are designed for busy professionals who can only study part time.
Because MBAs are geared toward experienced professionals, you may be able to convince your employer to sponsor your online MBA to make you more versatile and valuable to the company. Some employers use benefits like MBA sponsorship to improve their retention of personnel and reduce turnover.
An online MBA also provides more flexibility in choosing your school. An online program requires either no study at a university or only a handful of weekend trips, which allows you to expand your MBA search to the best university your budget allows, even if the school is in another state. If you are employed, this is particularly important as it allows you to remain close to your current job rather than travel across the country and temporarily stop working to pursue your MBA.
If you are not currently working, you should get your MBA at a traditional university instead. One advantage of a traditional MBA program is the opportunity to network with other professionals who are also pursuing MBAs, many of whom have considerable influence in hiring talented professionals. If you make a strong impression, those in your MBA cohort can help you secure a job after finishing your MBA. It is easier to make this impression through the face-to-face group work involved in traditional study than through online communication.
Much of what you study in an online business school is dictated by your specialization. If you choose to pursue an MBA in finance, for example, you will focus much more on taxes, investments, and accounting practices than a student who chooses to pursue an MBA in marketing. As a result, what you learn in an MBA program is flexible and tailored to your needs.
Most MBA programs also offer a core selection of courses that all students, regardless of specialization, are required to take. These courses cover a broad base of business topics, ensuring that whether students aspire to become the vice president of finance at a firm or a project manager, they can communicate effectively with other offices in terms that business professionals from other backgrounds can understand.
Some classes that you may take include:
MBA graduates pursue a range of careers, including positions as top executives, marketing managers, financial managers, sales managers, and human resources managers. Entering these fields does not necessarily require these degrees, with many professionals in these fields having no graduate degree at all. However, getting an MBA can improve your salary and make it easier to get promoted or secure jobs by strengthening your credentials.
The reaction to online degrees from employers is mixed. Some employers support the pursuit of MBAs online, provided the degrees are acquired from accredited universities with strong business programs. Others, however, see the online format as less capable of providing a solid education.
Business managers have been slow to accept the master of business administration online degree, and this is often made clear to those who have pursued these degrees. Employers are particularly critical of MBAs from for-profit schools and other schools with lower reputations, though top schools and nonprofit educational institutions get a warmer reception.
Students who receive their MBAs from accredited universities are not always required to disclose that their coursework was offered online. Even reputable programs do not always highlight the fact that their MBA coursework is provided online on diplomas or transcripts. A state university that offers an MBA online as well as at its traditional campus, for example, is unlikely to make a distinction between the degrees. As a result, not all students will have to confront this perception.
One way to ensure that your degree is well looked-upon is to check that it is accredited. Accreditation is a way of ensuring that the business education you receive in your MBA degree program is of high quality and has been assessed by top business professionals and academics. The primary accrediting body for MBAs, as with other business programs, is the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB), which accredits both graduate and undergraduate programs in this field. Other accrediting bodies for MBA degree programs include the Accreditation Council for Business Schools & Programs (ACBSP) and the International Assembly for Collegiate Business Education (IACBE). Your first step in searching for a program should be to check for accreditation from one of these organizations, especially if you choose to study online.

Michigan Head Coach Carol Hutchins
Opening Statement ... "FSU, they got it done. Their kids did a great job coming back after the loss yesterday. I give credit to them. They hung tough, very, very tough. (Lacey) Waldrop, she was fantastic today and we wish them all the best."
On Waldrop's adjustments ... "I thought she had a little more moxy in the start. She certainly had command of her pitches but I thought yesterday we got in her head early and today she wasn't having it."
On tonight's game ... "It was just unfortunate. When we hit the ball well, it didn't go our way. Yesterday everything went our way and today not much went our way. They played some great defense. Give their third baseman credit. She did some great things but it went their way, didn't go ours."
On talking to Lindsay Montemarano the pitch before her homerun... "I just told her, 'stay with the game plan,' and she did."
On her senior group ... "It's tough, it's tough to say goodbye."
On her team's performance ... "I thought we played with heart. I mean we definitely did not give up. We didn't quit, we didn't quit and that's all you can ask. As I said it just didn't go our way."
U-M Senior Outfielder Lyndsay Doyle
On her thoughts on the season ... "I'm just proud of our team. We fought to the end and like coach said, it just didn't go our way. I'm going to love this team forever."

Towed it home, I'm already thinking the starter went out, but do you think by chance it blew a fuse or relay? If so where are they located so I can check. It looks like this is a pain in the A$$ to change. Any help would be appreciated. We bought the car about a month ago, so were still finding little problems with it.

Jimmy Paredes: Signed as a low-risk/high-ceiling player back in 2006, Paredes' numbers thus far have been underwhelming. Extremely skinny when he signed, he has put on nearly 30 pounds of muscle over the past two years though and the power is slowly starting to develop.
While he can be a bit impatient at the plate at times - although it too is rapidly improving - his is a very good contact hitter. The switch-hitter has good power from the right side, great power potential from the left, he can run quite well for a corner infielder, and he has one of the strongest infield arms around. Lacking some patience and selectivity makes him raw at the current time, but few have his upside.
Bradley Suttle: Like Paredes, Suttle is a switch-hitter with plus power potential. Even though he had undergone major changes to his swing in just one short year since signing, he gets a very good charge with his swing and there's a ton of room for improvement as he gains more comfort with his new swing mechanics.
And while his walk-to-strikeout ratio doesn't exactly bear it out just yet, he does have good plate discipline and many believe he can be a much better hitter than he's shown. He is a solid defensive third baseman too, although he doesn't have quite the arm strength that Paredes has, but it's more than enough to remain at the hot corner.
Closest to the Majors
Eric Duncan: The former first round pick simply hasn't made the necessary adjustments at the upper minor league levels. Whether it's because he was rushed too quickly or if his swing has been changed a couple of times, the fact is his .247 career average hasn't equaled his raw talent.
He is still just 24 years old, however, and now approaching 1,000 at-bats at the Triple-A level, he is the third base prospect closest to the bigs for the Yankees. The 2009 season will be a sink-or-swim year for him to resurrect his fading prospect status.
The "Sleepers"
Marcos Vechionacci: Like Duncan, Vechionacci has a ton of raw talent that has yet to blossom. He has very good bat control, a great eye at the plate, a sound mechanical swing, and the type of body that could allow him to increase his overall strength. He is also arguably the best defensive third baseman in the system.
|HIS LAST CHANCE?: 2009 could be a make or break year for Vechionacci. (Photo: Patrick Teale/PinstripesPlus.com)
Need to Make Their Move
Mitch Hilligoss: Few prospects have ever had the precipitous fall Hilligoss has had in just one short year. He went from setting a South Atlantic League record 38-game hit streak and hitting .310 in 2007 to batting nearly 70 points lower last season, all while his power has been negligible at a power-hitting position.
It's a bit of an enigma too - he has great knowledge of the strike zone and good bat control, but his patience and selectivity at the plate have been waning. He has quickly been buried on the depth charts with the ascension of others and he'll need to hit his way back into legitimate prospect status.
The Jury is Still Out
Elio De La Rosa: He was signed for his advanced hitting mechanics in 2007 and made his professional debut last season. Battling a serious eye infection for a majority of the season, however, it was a lost year as he hit just .134 in 32 games for DSL Yankees2. He will have to start all over again in 2009 and seems destined for the Dominican Summer League once again.
Emerson Landoni: Landoni was a free agent sign after initially playing for both the Marlins and Tigers in the Venezuelan Summer League back in 2006 before missing all of the 2007 season. He is a bit of sleeper with his solid bat control, switch-hitting abilities, and solid defensive game. However, the competition is steep at the lower levels and he'll need to find a full-time job before being taken a bit more seriously as a prospect.
Mike Lyon: A four-year college player drafted in the 24th-round last season, Lyon had a solid professional debut season, hitting .268 with six home runs for the Staten Island Yankees. He has some power, decent speed for a big man, and he plays a serviceable third base. Like Landoni though, the jury is still out on his prospect status until he can steal some playing time in A-ball over higher-ceiling players.

Many Workers at Area Airports Make Below-Poverty Wages: Report
About a quarter of employees who work in area airports — including some who have jobs in security — make wages that are below the poverty line, according to a new study released Wednesday.
Workers at JFK, LaGuardia and Newark airports who screen luggage, check tickets, clean airport bathrooms and assist customers in wheelchairs earn, on average, $16,640 a year, according to a study released Wednesday by NYU's Women of Color Policy Network and the Wagner School of Public Service. That's 25 percent below the federal poverty line for a family of four.
Area airports employ about 67,000 people. Of those, nearly 17,000 are what's known as passenger service workers — almost all of whom work for companies contracted by airlines. Researchers surveyed 300 of these workers, who are predominantly people of color, and found that the average wage was $8 an hour and the most common wage earned by these workers was the federal minimum wage of $7.25 an hour.
Noting that 20 percent of those surveyed report being on government assistance such as food stamps, study author Nicole Mason said, "this means the public is paying twice" for these services: Once in the price of an airline ticket, and then in taxes that go to the social programs these employees frequently rely on.
Lakisha Williams, 29, has been working at Newark Airport for eight years. She started off as a baggage pre-screener and is now a wheelchair attendant. She said she pays for rent with Section 8 vouchers, uses food stamps and is on Medicaid.
"Basically I've just been at the airport for eight years for making the same minimum wage, $7.25," Williams said. "It's very unfair... I mean I have a 12-year-old daughter. She is very expensive, very expensive. I have to sit her down and let her know, tell her mommy is doing her best."
Study authors point out that workers employed by companies contracted by the Port Authority — the agency in charge of the airports — earned more than those who work for companies contracted by airlines. They blame the low wages on a practice by the airlines that awards contracts to the lowest bidder.
The head of the Port Authority, Patrick Foye, said he had not read the report, but has directed his staff to review it to see if there are any actions the agency should take in response. He expressed support for union hiring, touting his own experience as a union member in high school.
Full time workers union workers earn 29 percent higher wages nationally, than non-union workers he pointed out. Sixty-eight percent of Port Authority workers are represented by 13 different unions, he pointed out.

Winter Leagues: Gregory Polanco's Grand Slam Helps Team to Victory
Winter Leagues
In the Dominican on Wednesday night, Gregory Polanco extended his hitting streak to 11 games, then made his night one to remember. Polanco walked his first time up, then lined a single to right field in the third inning. In the fifth inning, he came up with the bases loaded and his team down by three runs. Polanco put his team ahead with a grand slam, his fourth homer of the DWL season. The game ended up going 13 innings and he finished 2-for-4 with three walks and five RBI's. Polanco has 13 RBI's and a .378 average this year.

Pagan names
Let's be honest. Pagan names are weird. They are the source of much mockery, from both within and without the pagan community.

But now some of us are having kids and they need names. What's a pagan to do?First off, all names have meaning. Do we pick Jim, because it was our favorite uncle's name?

Based on information obtained on the website:
I have made a graph with the distances and sizes of screens recommended by the standards SMPTE and THX.
The proportion of the following screen measures is 16:9. With 1080p content and the measures are the diagonal of the screen.
Differences between the standards:
Maximum size recommended by standard SMPTE:
Minimum size of screen recommended by THX:
Screen size recommended by THX:
Viewing Distance when Resolution becomes important:
Screen Size x Viewing Distance

Using image height and width is preferable to diagonal measurements since they're a lot easier to work with, and removes confusion with screen aspect ratio - many people here have 2.35 screens.
THXs recommended viewing angle for HD 16:9 screens is 40 degrees, or 2.4 image heights. That also works for people with 2.35 screens who use an anamorphic lens, and may work with some pjs that zoom for scope.
The film industry often recommends 3 x IH for seating distance based on the crossover point between immersion (closer is considered better) and where image artefacts like film grain and projector induced issues become visible. With digital and good HD content that limitation is reduced, and is probably why THX recommend 2.4 x IH rather than 3. Sitting anywhere between 2 to 4 times the Image Height puts you within the usual range of a commercial theatre, and with 1080 displays, we're pretty much there with regards to resolution and image quality.
As Darin has pointed out, THX often gets misquoted but this video may be of interest:
I also think it[s worth pointing out that the graphs that say where certain resolutions become noticeable doesn't mean you should sit there. In fact you should probably sit closer because those distances are where the Human eye can start to resolve those resolutions, but when comparing something like a 720 pj to a 1080 pj you might not be able to tell the difference until you get much closer.
I am seated at about 3 metres from the screen and the screen is 76 "wide.
The size of the screen was well on the standard SMPTE and I do not feel any discomfort visual.
I hope these graphics help.
They helped me, thanks for pointing me in the right direction!
hmm.. I basically 5 meters from 133" and have absolutely no problems with it nor anyone else. Even when playing games with mass movement like COD4
Can you draw a cone showing the minimum and maximum screen sizes? I have 2 rows so how does 1 seat @ 5m help everyone?
are the screen measurements given width or diagonal?
i figured, thanks.
i'll be right around 11 1/2 feet from a 119" screen.
Very nice and concise info, thanks Peter. This is one of the first things I looked into when researching installing a projector (and have yet to find anything this easy to follow and all in one place), so I'd recommend it for a sticky personally (although I might suggest attempting to convert the units to the american standards, as I believe that is what the majority of people using these forums are used to).
Thanks Varrius.
It is a good hint. I will convert the units.
Very nice! I had already done the conversion myself (and I'm glad to find out that I'm choosing right about the THX recommended screen size). I'm sure the conversion may help some others, I do hope that I was correct in assuming that many or most of the users here would prefer it in feet instead of meters.
Picture of the distance of the screen to the ground.
It is about 1.97 feet from the ground and is very comfortable, especially to read the subtitles.
Before, it was about 3 feet, but I was uncomfortable.
Thank you Peter for creating that graph.
I am in the process of designing a 2.35:1 screen. Would you have any idea how the viewing distance would change going from 16:9 to 2.35:1?
To change the proportion of 16:9 to 2.35:1, simply multiply the value of the diagonal of the screen by 0.9472
For example, the graph shows that to 13.12 feet, the diagonal of the screen in 16:9 must be 97".
Then multiply 97 by 0.9472 which equals approximately 92" in proportion 2.35:1

Where did you get that from? If from the 36 degrees recommended by THX then that isn't a recommendation for the screen size you should have, it is a recommendation for the worst case viewing angle in a commercial theater. If a theater was built to that then almost every seat in the house would have a larger viewing angle and THX doesn't tell people where to sit in those theaters (at least from what I've seen). Also, when THX gave a recommendation at their booth at CEDIA last year they said it was based on testing to see where people see pixels with 1080p projectors. But, 1080p projectors vary and then the recommendation wouldn't apply when projectors go beyond 1080p or even to film now. So far I don't recall seeing or hearing anything about THX saying people shouldn't sitting closer than some viewing angle that wasn't based on limited pixel resolution, just stuff about not sitting further away than a certain viewing angle. Put another way, I haven't seen anything from THX limiting how close the closest seats can be in a commercial theater to get certified, only how far away the farthest seats can be.
Thanks for doing these graphs. I just know that the wording of the THX minimum and recommended specs for building a commercial theater have confused a lot of people and that even their later recommendation for home theater was based on limitations of current projectors. I also don't know if they tried using an anamorphic lens, which would generally make pixels less visible at the same viewing ratio.

This gets paraphrased in other places and people often misconstrue this as THX recommending that people sit at a place where the viewing angle is 36 degrees. That is clearly not the case from what it says about the farthest seat in the theater (this is for commercial theaters with lots of seats). If a commercial theater is built to THX recommendations then the vast majority of people will be sitting in seats with viewing angles larger than 36 degrees.
It is misleading when people say "THX recommended viewing distance" since that 36 degree recommendation is to build a commercial theater so that the minimum viewing angle is 36 degrees, not a recommendation that people sit in the farthest seat if a theater was built to THX recommendations. However, they allow theaters to be THX certified if their minimum is 26 degrees. That is, a minimum for the minimum viewing angle instead of a recommended minimum viewing angle. In both cases it is for the minimum viewing angle in that theater (for multiple seats).
Thanks for the explanation.
I'll edit this thread.

Appreciate the math. I'm planing a 130" diagonal so 130 x 0.9472=123" and I plan to sit at around 16' so I'm in the SMPTE maximum zone. I think I better do some testing just in case the screen is too big for the room.
Thanks for the info.
I'm sitting at roughly 180" so thats about x1.5 screen heights
A green sub?
Just wanted to say thanks for your contributions to the projector forums here.
Your photos, graphs, etc. have really been insightful, even to a trigonometry challenged person like myself.
Thanks James!

nice find Peter
Thank you Peter- I had an idea of these numbers, but it is very nice to see it all laid out in a concrete format. This should prove useful on future projects-
I did think this thread could be fixed. Because these standards are not old. But I'm not a moderator to decide about it.
I'll be watching this thread and I'll trying to help as much as I can.

text: I have a 2003 bugeye and I did an oil change about a month and a half ago. I drove the car to TX and back then packed it for a week but I decided to check my oil before I drove it again and my deepstick had no oil on there. I cranked the engine to see if any oil would get on the deepstick but none did. Can someone or anyone help me figure out what might have caused that? There are no oil drops or signs of a leak. Any help or advise will be appriciated.

Breathe, girl, BREATHE.
I am getting SO excited. Each day, I review another segment of our itinerary.
While I am completely stressed out at work and due to the fact that I will be traveling in Amsterdam for a week (departing one week from tomorrow) before my husband and I depart for our first trip to Africa, I cannot let any of that distract me.
I am now running through last minute details.. what to pack, what I still need to purchase (little things like extra batteries, travel size toiletries, etc..), things I need to photocopy and bring with us as well as leave with trusted family/friends, etc.. the list seems to be neverending. Each day passes and I cross one thing off, it seems that 3 more items appear! I guess I just want to make sure we have everything covered. I've never been away for more than 2 weeks, and this is double that!
Just wanted to share our excitement, vent a little and if anyone has any last minute additions or advice, I would be so appreciative if you could share!
I also wanted to send yet another thank you to all of you that helped me along the planning process. This is my trip of a lifetime, and the research I have done on this site has proved to be more helpful than any other.
With gratitude,

Here's the best piece of pre-trip advice I can come up with - as you are photocopying those visas and passports, in all the excitement, don't leave the originals on the scanner! (actually happened to a friend of mine, had to go back to SF from NY en route to India....!)
Enjoy your trip and we are all looking forward to a trip reprot to add to my index when you get back!

In addition to your regular packing list, make a seperate one to use for your departure day. Make a list of everything you need to do or put in your carry-on before you leave. For example, if you need to use your hairbrush, etc on the last day and then pack it to take with you, put it on your "last day" list. List your tickets, passports, money, itinerary etc. By having this list (made out beforehand) it takes a little of the stress out of actually leaving the house and wondering if you have forgotten anything.
Have a wonderful trip!

Oher advice I am sure you've heard:
Carry a notebook or journal, jot down some great things that happen.
Carry 2 - 3 times as much film as you think you will need
If you are a photo junkie like me, you will be prepared to shoot 50 pics per day. You may not do that but it is good to be ready.
But don't get so caught up filming that you don't just sit there and enjoy. TAKE IT ALL IN

hey BostonGal:
Thanks for soliciting this advice. I am taking notes. Lynda, your advice made me laugh out loud--but then scared me that I might do that!

I read this idea in the wine column of the Wall Street Journal, and I intend to follow it from now on: Put a bottle of bubbly in the fridge to welcome yourself home after the trip!
I love the "last day" list, Sundowner. I'll do that from now on too.
Have a wonderful time, BostonGal!
Report Abuse
ooh that last day list is genious, thanks sundowner!
Lynda - oh no! I'll be sure to grab the originals.
wayne - trust me, no worries about pics. My husband and I actually take a camera each and always take at least 200 per day, I know we're crazy!
Celia - I never thought of celebrating upon arrival back home.. hm something to consider =)
Thanks for all the great advice and tips!

Wow - I remember that excited/nervous/anxious feeling so well. My husband and I took our first trip to East Africa last January and the week before leaving was so exciting and so emotional! Just wait until the feeling of when the plane first touches down on African soil... it's very surreal!
Have a wonderful trip - I'm extremely envious!

Have a great trip and safe travels! And remember, it's never too early to start planning your 2nd trip to Africa!

Hints: we were in Kenya and Tanzania in November. Bring an adapter and you can recharge an electric toothbrush in the 'shaver' outlet in the bathroom. You can also use same to recharge lithium batteries. No one asked about yellow fever shots and we never paid 'departure' taxes. Have a great time. We did!
Report Abuse
eezam -
The departure tax from Kenya is included in your air ticket. Only from Tanzania is there now a security departure fee, payable in cash. As to Yellow Fever, it not a "must" requirement for admittence to either Kenya or Tanzania. The decision to have this is based on your discussion with your physician and whethere you will, within a given time (believe 6-wks or 6-months) be traveling to a country that requires it after having been to Kenya or Tanzania.
BostonGal -
I still get excited when heading off to Africa; never any different, in fact, I'm more excited with each trip. So just keep breathing... it'll be worth every breath you take!
Report Abuse
Check your electrical equipment to be sure it runs on 240 V (as well as 110 V), if it doesn't pick up a converter. Even if it does, you will also need adapters so they will plug into outlets in Africa. Bring good binoculars for each person. I can't believe the number of times I've seen people who spent lots of money on transportation and lodging miss an amazing sight because they skimped on binoculars. Have a great time!
Report Abuse
enjoy your trip.great.

I definitely remember that excitement too... I must be honest and say that whilst I'm wishing the very very best trip for you I'm also consumed with envy too! I HAVE to get me back on safari this year if it kills me!
I'm leaving for India myself next week and am getting somewhat excited about that trip though it's tempered by the fact that my husband isn't joining me for this trip (it's expensive, he didn't fancy it that much and I know lots of others doing it anyway so he encouraged me to go on my own) and it's the longest we'll have been apart for well over 10 years...
You're going to have a WONDERFUL trip and we'll all be here waiting to hear every detail about it when you get home!
Report Abuse
The truly horrible thing is that I've been home for over a month and STILL haven't finished my trip report! I am on day 13, page 19. A couple more days to finish and then I'll post, I promise!!!
Thanks for all your well wishes though

Telco service providers start selling Netbooks
Looks like netbook sales will surge more given this move by Verizon ( http://news.cnet.com/8301-17938_105-10206584-1.html ) to sell netbooks. AT&T is already selling Acer and Dell netbooks... As mentioned before, more than 30% of netbook sales are on Linux...

Hey guys I'm a new member and deciding to buy a subaru of my own!!! The problem is I don't know which one I should get. I want a car that is fast but still drivable in the city. I leaning towards the WRX but I feel like if I get the WRX I will be missing out on the Sti.
So I guess what I'm really asking is how do you feel driving your WRX or WRX Sti on the road?
Which do you think better suits me?
Thanks! =]

Hanging and finishing girder truss/joist hanger transition
Planning out hanging a garage ceiling and looking at the following problem. The supported truss joist hangers are down below the girder truss level. Since I'm changing direction of the sheetrock at the girder to run perpendicular to the trusses, I will have a butt joint against a tapered edge and I'm already down at least a 1/8-3/16" from the framing with the hangers. Do I beat the hangers with a 2# hammer and try to get them up flush with the framing then hold the last screws back at least 6" on the supported trusses? The butt edge of rock against the girder truss will have to be screwed off at the girder unless I frame in additional blocking because the trusses are 24" OC. Would I need an expansion joint at the girder truss? It is about a 22' span.
Haven't decided if It will be 5/8" or dense 1/2" rock yet if it matters. Also the ceiling will more than likely be sprayed with popcorn texture as a 1 step finish, but havent ruled out knockdown as it should be to match the house. The ceiling height is 12'
I would take your hammer and just pound it flat.If it still hangs down use shims to feather it down.You can even back cut the edge of the drywall.Dont forget its drywall not rocket science.

Bausch taps into menace of U.S. home life for new book
By Edward McAllister
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Following his award-winning war novel "Peace", author Richard Bausch is back writing short stories, fixing his gaze again on small-town American home life. Only now, there's more violence.
Bausch, who has written eight short story collections and 11 novels over a 30-year career, has long focused on the quiet troubles of domestic America, but he says his new book, set for release on February 10, takes his work to menacing new heights.
In "Something Is Out There", a collection of 11 short stories, one tale follows a naive kid running from a small-time drug deal gone wrong. In another, a young man's crush on his older brother's wife ends in a drunken and bloody fight.
"As I was writing these stories, I became interested in forms of menace, of crimes and things that happen around them," Bausch, 64, told Reuters. "I remember thinking that this is an area I haven't really explored that much."
Unlike many of his characters, Bausch is humorous, relaxed, and has maintained a relatively calm life, he said.
"I don't think any of (my fiction) comes from experience. Most of it is just dreaming it up," he said. "Imagine a book about how happy we were and how wonderful it is. You wouldn't want to read it. It would be the dullest thing on earth."
A steady focus on American home life and relationships over the years has earned Bausch several literary awards.
The "Stories of Richard Bausch" released in 2003 won the prestigious PEN/Malamud Award for short fiction, joining a list of literary powerhouses including John Updike and Saul Bellow. Continued...

October 30, 2011 - We're Leaving!
While I was taking care of some loose ends and doing some packing I received a call and Jason and I are to be leaving for Balboa, tomorrow morning - early some time. I am in a hurry up mode of packing and don't have much free time now. Once we get to Balboa, we will get settled in and then later this week Linda will be coming down to spend some time with Jason and I. While she is here, her parents - Joe and Jess Lascurain - will be jumping in again to help support her day care. There is actually an interesting story behind that, but suffice to say, "Thank you!" because without their support Linda would not have been able to do what she has been able to do, over these past several months. There are others to thank as well, like the Pleasanton/Livemore Military Families group, and SemperFi Fund, and Wounded EOD Warriors Foundation - but I can't list them all right now.
Bridgette had to take off this morning, to head home to take care of a minor emergency that happened; and, now we are set to leave tomorrow. Funny how things happen sometimes. Please keep Bridgette and the kids in your thoughts and prayers, as we all go through these next couple of days of transition. Also, keep all the families of all the military in your prayers, as sometimes it is very difficult for some of them to deal with the issues they have been dealt, and God's strength is needed.
Not sure if I will be able to blog tomorrow, so I'll say thank you, to all for all your support and prayers, and stay tuned for the next installment. TTFN -

You are always in my thoughts and prayers. I read the blog daily...if I miss a day....I get online as early as possible to catch up.
I am sending my warmest wishes and thoughts to you during the transition to Balboa. I am hoping that Linda can head to San Diego more often. Also hoping the Bridgette and the girls will be able to make the move to San Diego.
I look forward to the day that I can shake all of your hands. Your family is truly one of the heroes for our country.

I hope you make in one day as planned. I am sure both of you will be tired Tuesday. It is good to hear your wife will be able to be with your son.

Probably your .FLV has variable framerate.
This is what I would try:
a) remux the FLV to an MKV
b) extract the video timestamps to a timecodes.txt
c) use mp4fpsmod ( https://sites.google.com/site/qaacpage/cabinet )
Possibly someone will know a faster and less-convoluted way
How do i remux to mkv sorry im a noob to this if i remux to mkv and that works im fine with stopping there it doesnt need to be mp4 could be either one
and yes its variable
Thank you that seemed to have worked

text: Carlos Boozer has been playing really well for the Jazz this season. Could have been MVP this season if the Jazz ended the season as they have started. But definitely MVP for the team. Scoring has been up and one of the top rebounder in the league. Was wondering if the Cavs would be contending for the 'ship this season if Boozer is still playing for them. Lebron would welcome him back anyday, anytime. How scary would the Bron/ Boozer combo be in the Eastern Conference? Would the Pistons match up well with this team then?
