STV provided complete design services for a new 31,000-sf dining center at Clarion University. The design of the new $12.4 million facility accommodates 530 seats in the main dining room and 100 seats in the lower level conference facility. The main dining area also serves as a banquet hall, and the back-of-house kitchen supports all campus catering functions. There is also a Starbucks coffee cafe. The building, a two-story, steel-framed structure featuring reinforced concrete foundations, masonry walls with brick veneer, insulated glazing and a shingle roof, was awarded LEED Silver certification by the U.S. Green Building Council. The building envelope is designed to minimize the amount of energy required to provide a comfortable
interior environment. Light-switch occupant sensors turn out the lights and signal for reduced airflow in unoccupied rooms, and low-flow and dual-flush restroom fixtures reduce water usage by 30 percent.

Savor another Cynster novel.
©2000 Savdek Management Proprietory, Ltd.; (P)2002 Recorded Books, LLC
Never judge a book by its movie
"Great Book"
No, they were both great
Loved when Gabriel Cynster finds out the new woman he is obsessed with is actually a child hood friend who he can't seem to stop arguing with.... I love it, when he realizes it.
Its gets even better when Altheana knows, he knows... and tries to avoid him without making a scene in in a ballroom full of people. She is so classy.
Rupurt(Gabriel) Cynster, but my all time favourite is Sebastian (Devil) Cynster. He is a CLASSIC character.
At times I actually wanted to smack some people upside their heads.... sometimes it was Gabriel for not knowing when to shut up! Other times it was Altheana for enabling her whole family to lay back while she risks herself to save them.

I really loved the exchanges between Gabriel and his valet Chance ( named because he saved Gabriel from being killed in the 'slums ' of London, and so Gabriel gave him a chance to better himself.... it's really funny.
This is my 2nd favourite Cynster story.

First will always be Devil's Bride.
"My new favorite author"
I love this series of books and have now added SL to my growing list of favorite authors. Simon does an excellent job of narration.
Tell us about yourself!
"Read 5 of them"
I already read the first 5 books and downloading #6 as I write. I love every single one of them. The story lines make me laugh, cry and feel their love.
"A Favorite"
Fun story with a strong heroin who's care for her family is foremost. Nice amount of heat and passion. Again Simon Prebble excels.
My name is Irene and I'm a lifelong bookaholic. A few years ago, I started adding audiobooks and I'm so happy I joined Audible in 2015 :-))
"Best Series Ever; One of the Best books"
Seriously! If you like historical romance that's not overdone; great characters, story & narration, this is it. This is the standard the others aspire to.
"Very well done! Kept you reading for more"
The beginning of the book, the secret, and then the outcome when that secret is revealed.
All the characters were great!
They were great, and easily understood who was who.
Yes, listen while flying across the states. Great entertainment!
"Hard to get enough"
It is hard to get enough of the incredible Cynsters. Ms Laurens is a master at building tender traps for her heros, and Simon Prebble continues to be an outstanding voice for them.
"SL and SP lover"
I love most all of this writer's romance novels. Great stories and oh, the narrator, Simon is the best I've heard. Love them!

Chaitin's construction
From HaskellWiki
1 Introduction
Are there any real numbers which are defined exactly, but cannot be computed? This question leads us to exact real arithmetic, foundations of mathematics and computer science.
Wikipedia article on Chaitin's construction, referring to e.g.
- Computing a Glimpse of Randomness (written by Cristian S. Calude, Michael J. Dinneen, and Chi-Kou Shu)
- Omega and why math has no TOEs (Gregory Chaitin).
2 Basing it on combinatory logic
Some more direct relatedness to functional programming: we can base Ω on combinatory logic (instead of a Turing machine), see the prefix coding system described in Binary Lambda Calculus and Combinatory Logic (page 20) written by John Tromp:
of course, c, d are meta-variables, and also some other notations are changed slightly.
Now, Chaitin's construction will be here
- hnf
- should denote an unary predicate "has normal form" ("terminates")
- dc
- should mean an operator "decode" (a function from finite bit sequences to combinatory logic terms)
- should denote the set of all finite bit sequences
- Domdc
- should denote the set of syntactically correct bit sequences (semantically, they may either terminate or diverge), i.e. the domain of the decoding function, i.e. the range of the coding function. Thus,
- "Absolute value"
- should mean the length of a bit sequence (not combinatory logic term evaluation!)
Here, dc is a partial function (from finite bit sequences). If this is confusing or annoying, then we can choose a more Haskell-like approach, making dc a total function:
dc :: [Bit] -> Maybe CL
then, Chaitin's construction will be
where should denote false truth value.
3 Related concepts
4 To do
Writing a program in Haskell -- or in combinatory logic:-) -- which could help in making conjectures on combinatory logic-based Chaitin's constructions. It would make only approximations, in a similar way that most Mandelbrot plotting softwares work: it would ask for a maximum limit of iterations.
chaitin --computation=cl --coding=tromp --limit-of-iterations=5000 --digits=10 --decimal

Teaching is my profession
Teaching is my profession and I am teaching Grade One students. Does my profession has something to do why I always get miscarriage?
9th January 2014 07:21 AM #2
Dear jellyace,
The most recent research on this subject shows that normal everyday stresses will not cause a miscarriage. However, some research shows that severe stressful experiences may cause a miscarriage.
How stressful do you find your job? Would you be able to take any time off in early pregnancy or work flexibly?
Warm wishes,

BMW expands credit card program with $10K towards your next BMW
Offering unique benefits and exclusive rewards including up to $10,000 towards the lease or finance contract on a new vehicle designed specifically for members of the BMW community, BMW Bank of North America re-launches a new, three-tiered BMW Credit Card program.
The expanded Visa® credit card collection encompasses the BMW Card, the BMW Signature® Card and the BMW Ultimate Card issued by the BMW Bank, a wholly owned subsidiary of BMW Financial Services NA, LLC.
The re-launch targets existing cardholders, introducing them to the new program and, where applicable, inviting them to upgrade to another tier, all without changing their account numbers.
Cardholders will have access to a range of premium reward redemption options developed from customer feedback and realigned with the BMW brand, including enhanced point earnings and a broader array of redemption levels.
In addition to redemption of points toward the lease or finance contract on a new BMW of up to $10,000, cardholders rewards will include the ability to purchase additional lease miles, pay for service and repairs and lifestyle merchandise at BMW centers, and attend exclusive BMW events.
New points earning opportunities are driven by a combination of the credit card selected by the customer and the type of purchase made. Customers can earn more points on their purchases made at BMW centers 3x, 4x or 5x per dollar spent.
A dozen years ago we introduced the BMW Card to provide our customers, members of the BMW community, with a card tailored to their active lifestyles and rewarding them for being part of the BMW family, explained Ken Petersen, President and Chairman, BMW Bank of North America. Although the card has been extremely successful, customer feedback and a decade of change drove our decision to enhance our card products, but the heart of the program remains the same.
The BMW Credit Card benefits go beyond points for purchases with bonuses for spending on gasoline and at BMW Centers. And there are BMW-unique rewards for point redemption including branded merchandise and toward vehicle purchases.
The BMW Card is another way for us to reward loyalty a way for BMW Financial Services to show its commitment to its customers and a means for the BMW community to show its passion for the brand, added Petersen.

text: I was having a conversation with someone just the other day about Brooke Mueller and how it seems that Denise Richards is taking care of Brooke's kids and then someone reminded me that Brooke and Lindsay Lohan used to share the same PR person. So, if you think about it in that context, then when the world says Brooke Mueller had an overdose, but her PR person says it was just a routine 911 call because Brooke was unresponsive during a nap, then you say, umm, I am trying to remember the last time I took a nap and needed to call 911. Yeah, my guess is that you haven't. Lets say Brooke was unresponsive after a nap and 911 was called. Don't you think when the paramedics got there they could get her to wake up from the nap? I admit it is a great excuse and this PR guy should win PR person of the year award for having to work with Lindsay recently and now Brooke. Perhaps he could look into working with someone who is not quite so needy.

MMA has been on various Cable networks, OK and I guess BAMMA did air on Channel 5 once but that wouldn't quantify it as being mainstream. Loads of sports are on a variety of sports channels that doesn't mean it is mainstream.
MMA is not recognised as a Sport and still sits within a minority who watches/participates.
When it sits within a majority as opposed to minority then it is mainstream.

Serenity is an alpha's daughter- and not only any alpha, but the Alpha King himself. That makes Serenity the most protected female shifter among all the shewolves, this was for a reason. Being the she wolf born under the Alpha king she is the so called Daughter of the Moon, the shifter who has the power to call on other shifters, distance was not a question. It is in their blood to answer to her, the flesh and blood of their deity. It had been a century since there was one, and that didn't end good and her father and brother refuses to have a repeat of that. But what if the fates have a different plan? Somewhere between the search for her mate, she is taken as a captive by the hunters who plans to use her powers. What will become of the pack and not to mention their kind?

Scratching my head about bad reviews...
By JR
from St. Louis, MO
Both my fiancee and I wanted a thick, heavy terrycloth bathrobe for after the shower or lounging around. I am 6' tall, 54" chest, 42" waist, 290 lbs. She is 5'7" and 115 lbs.I found another robe online that said it was made of 18 oz. fabric, and their largest size would fit a man with a 60" chest. I bought it and it was indeed designed for extremely overweight wearers, and the belt loops were in the wrong place. Still, it was a good robe. Tammy enjoyed getting lost in it. She wanted an "oversize" robe, but not THAT oversized.Then I found this 22 oz. fabric HS robe, and with the refund policy, decided to bite.One 5'7" 140 lb. reviewer said the "medium" HS robe "would fit a grizzly bear" and another said the robe was way too heavy and too long. Tammy wanted a wraparound fit so I ordered the medium for her and the 3X for me, figuring we could return or exchange.We are both thrilled. The 3X fits me perfectly, belt loops just the right height, length to my ankles, sleeves to the base of my thumb joint. The Medium on her is similar, and she said she wouldn't want it any smaller. Sleeves are almost to her knuckles and length almost to her ankles.Incidentally, the overall weight of mine is slightly less than the other 3X I bought made of 18 oz. fabric, because the other robe will fit a guy with both 60" chest AND waist.We both agree: Great robe.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Long rather than wide, very heavy
By The Happy HotTubber
from Kansas City, MO
These are very nice robes. Very heavy and snuggly. My only complaint is that they are rather narrow around the middle but super long in the arms and body. I am short and stout, not tall and muscle-y. These robes are designed for narrow-waisted people so that when you get up to the XXL, you'd have to be 6'6" tall to wear it as-is out of the box. (They come wrapped in tissue in nice gift boxes, btw.) Nevertheless, I am very happy with the quality and heaviness of the robes and I will hem up the arms to fit. (Perhaps 7") It's worth the effort. Because these are perfect for hopping out of the hot tub. Just last night I wrapped up in my gynormous robe, still wet, and stepped into my flip flops and went inside and watched a movie. It was so warm and snuggly I never took it off until I went to bed. I plan to buy a third one, as a "guest robe".

Not an option for smallish women
By Cindy
from Washington, DC
I can't see this robe fitting any person under 5'8". I'm 5'4" and 120 lbs, and the XS robe hem brushes the ground and the sleeves are almost past my fingertips. I could practically wrap it around myself twice. The robe is very well made but also extremely heavy, so again, a smaller person is going to feel like they are carrying around a bearskin rug. So, if you're shopping for a smaller or slight person, look elsewhere.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Hammacher Schlemmer Response: The Genuine Turkish Bathrobe has a generous loose fit. Please order one size down from your usual size.

Too heavy
By Jay
from New York
I am 5'7" and weigh 140 pounds--so I ordered a medium. It would have been a good fit for a grizzly bear. Obviously, I ordered the wrong size, but I just returned it rather than exchanging for a smaller size because since the medium was SO enormous, I figured that even the XS would be too large. Big disappointment--it sounded perfect in the catalog description.

Great robe
By DeeDee
from North Berkeley, CA
We have a hot tub in which we enjoy soaking every night, followed by a cool-down in the garden (with a glass of port) wearing these robes. Exquisite feeling! I gave these robes as gifts to my kids and they love them. The collar rides high and feels very cozy when the weather is cool. The robes are heavy, though, so we have something lighter to wear for normal use. The front panels could be a bit wider so they'd stay closed more easily when one is sitting; but then they'd be even heavier, so that's a toss-up. They are on the large size, so I got a "small" when ordinarily I'd take a "medium." We probably wouldn't use our hot tub as much or enjoy it so intensely without these yummy robes to put on after the soak.

Nice Robe!
By Gail
from NNK, Va
I really like this robe. Had not been able to replace my favorite old terry robe as maker had changed to a lighter fabric. The weight of this robe is heavy and warm. I bought an XS. I'm 5'3" and my only complaints are that the pockets are really low on the face of the robe, and the sash is really long and wide- makes it quite bulky to tie. Wish petite sizes were available although I really like the longer length. Still very glad I bought it and on someone tall the fit/finish would probably be fine.

The hype was true!
By the Happy Husband
from Baxter Springs, Kansas
My wife had worn her previous terry cloth robe for 10 years and I thought there could never be a replacement. Was I wrong! I Googled in "the best terry cloth robe ever" and Hammacher Schlemmer popped up. Christmas was just about here and it was the only gift she wanted. I took a chance and ordered it and on Christmas morning it was the hit of the gift parade! Now the battle over the thermostat has been declared a draw. She's happy and warm I'm happy and cool. Thanks H & S for making my wife's Christmas one of the best ever!
What luxury!
By Mary
from Gardnerville, NV
Thick,thirsty,luxurious. Just right when you step out of the hot tub and the cold wind hits you!

wife not looking for return receipt
By tim a
from boston ma
wife is in love with the robe. only issue is she is five feet tall and the xs size drags the floor. the tailoring is so fine that she is hesitant to bring it for alterations for fear of a new hem unraveling and ruining the look. quality is superb. will order one for myself.

NEW ORLEANS —Paige Bernhardt and Nancylee Myatt moved to New Orleans from California a couple of years ago. When they were out West, they frequented the famous horse-racing track at Santa Anita.
But now that they're in the Big Easy, they've grown to love the Fair Grounds Race Course on Gentilly Avenue. They enjoy it so much, in fact, that for their first two Thanksgivings in the city — including this one — they've come to the Fair Grounds for the local track's opening day blowout.
Dressed in multihued vests, ties and derbies and sporting purple and orange nail polish, Bernhardt and Myatt took a break in between the sixth and seventh races and discussed why opening day at the Fair Grounds has already become a Turkey Day tradition for them.
"We love this track," Bernhardt said. "Our home track was Santa Anita, and now it's the Fair Grounds."
Added Myatt: "It's a great little track."
They noted, however, that they initially weren't aware of how huge a deal opening day at the Fair Grounds is — and how many racegoers dress to the nines for the event.
"We didn't know about the dressing-up stuff," Bernhardt said with a grin.
Fashion, in addition to horses, was certainly on parade in the grandstands, the clubhouse and the VIP areas Thursday as a crowd of about 8,500 watched the 87th running of the $100,000 Thanksgiving Handicap. The big race was won by Delaunay, ridden by Rosie Napravnik, trained by Tom Amoss and owned by Maggi Moss.
It was an upset over pre-race favorite Gantry, who won last year's Handicap and finished second this year. Cash Refund was third.
In the VIP area, some women sported tight skirts, freakishly high heels and pricey jewelry, while many of the men wore natty suits, complete with handkerchiefs in the pockets, and traditional derby hats and chapeaux as they took in the 10-race card.
But down on the ground, in the open-air areas, the scene was a bit different, taking on a Mardi Gras feel. Women flaunted huge hats topped with purple and pink and yellow feathers, knee-high boots and beads around their necks. Men wore everything from cargo shorts and sneakers to gaudy sweater vests and baseball hats.
While the fans upstairs dined on a lavish buffet dinner and sipped wine and champaign brought by attentive, tuxedoed waiters, the hipster crowd below threw back beers, queued up at concession stands and lined the fence at the track.
Such diversity is the beauty of opening day at the Fair Grounds, Thanksgiving regular Rob Clemenz said.
"It's the perfect blend of prototypes of people," said Clemenz, who was dressed in a sport coat and jeans. "You've got everything: young and old, rich and middle class, black and white and Asian. It's beautiful."
Whatever their ethnic or economic background, horse-racing enthusiasts streamed into the Fair Grounds by the thousands.
The parking lot at the track began to fill up by 10 a.m. — a full hour before the first race — and around 12:30 p.m., track managers announced that only valet parking remained, leaving hundreds of attendees to park in the adjoining neighborhoods and hike to the track.
It made for a 12-hour day of standing in the sun for parking lot attendants and endless hours of bringing booze to fans in the clubhouse for the wait staff as guests lined up to place bets and milled around socializing with drinks in their hands.
Among those putting money down Thursday were Rick Duplantier and Cindy Woolridge, of New Orleans, who are track regulars during the four-month racing season and who frequently come for opening day.
For them, not only is the event a blast, but it also means no piles of pots and pans in the sink at home.
"It's just the place for a New Orleans tradition," Duplantier said with a laugh.
But the horse racing doesn't stop on Thanksgiving either, and Duplantier and Woolridge said they will continue to haunt the clubhouse throughout the Fair Grounds' 2012-13 season.
"We'll be here tomorrow," Duplantier said as he sipped a beer. "The day after Thanksgiving is a big day, too."

Things started out with a BANG in 1976 when AC/DC's first American album was released, High Voltage. I mention that this is their first U.S. album because the band already released a different version of High Voltage and T.N.T. in Australia and Britain. The High Voltage I will review is the U.S. release that combines the two previous albums and adds some new songs. Every song on High Voltage is either about women, rock, or living wild. Standard topics for AC/DC, and they make this a fine album for any rock collection.
On the rock side we have "It's a Long Way to the Top (If you Wanna Rock 'N' Roll)," "High Voltage," and "Rock 'N' Roll Singer." It's a Long Way to the Top" and Rock 'N' Roll Singer" are the two beginning songs. Both tracks begin with a similar guitar intro that builds as a second guitar, bass, and drums are introduced. Finally, the wailing voice of Bon Scott completes the AC/DC experience. "It's a Long Way to the Top" acts like the epic piece of this album. It represents AC/DC's emergence from struggling as an early band to becoming a recognizable and legitimate band. This track is also one of the more diverse AC/DC songs because it incorporates bagpipes. Regardless of your feelings towards bagpipes, they sound excellent and embrace the Scottish heritage of the Young brothers and Scott. "Rock 'N' Roll Singer" is a little slower than "It's a Long Way to the Top" but it is a perfect follow up song. Detailing Scott's desire to be a singer since he was born, "Rock 'N' Roll Singer" is a well written song that speaks of not wanting to work 9 to 5, having your name in lights, and not following moral standards. "High Voltage" also profiles the rock lifestyle. It is about the rush of performing live and the energy that you get from being on stage in front of people. "It's a Long Way" and "Rock 'N' Roll Singer" provide a great one-two punch for beginning High Voltage while "High Voltage" wonderfully concludes the album and brings it full circle.
On to something AC/DC has never been shy of, women. "Little Lover", "The Jack", "She's Got Balls", and "Can I Sit Next to you Girl" are the four songs about women. "The Jack" is one of the best-written AC/DC songs of all time. The song's title refers to Gonorrhea and chronicles one woman who sleeps around. It is a clever song that uses poker terms as euphemisms to describe her whoring ways. "Little Lover" and "Can I Sit Next to you Girl" are about picking up (or trying to pick up) women. "Can I Sit Next to you Girl" is an attempt to pick up a girl until her boy friend shows up, and "Little Lover" is about meeting a girl back stage after a gig. Okay songs but nothing special. "She's Got Balls" is about Bon's wife. This is another okay song. All Bon does is sing about how she is lady like but is assertive when she needs to be. Asides from "The Jack", these songs are forgettable.
"Live Wire" and "T.N.T." round out High Voltage. These two entrees are great songs. Both are about being young and rambunctious. Other than "It's a Long Way to the Top", "Live Wire" is the stand out instrumental piece on this album. The bass helps drive this song and the guitar work is top notch. The pace of "Live Wire" slows down and picks up at just the right times. Now we go from an underrated song to an overrated one. The familiar chanting of "Oi" begins "T.N.T.". This song is about a man returning to a town he once terrorized and promising to revisit to his old ways. "T.N.T." is a good rock song, but at best it is the third best song on this album. Compared to what can be found on this album it is overrated; however, it is still a fun song to listen to.
The songs about rock are great, the songs about women okay, and the songs about living wild are okay. AC/DC hit the U.S. pretty well for a first album. I am surprised about some of the song choices they made considering "Live Wire" is mostly made up of songs released in Europe and Australia. Regardless, if you enjoy AC/DC this is one album you should buy. It showcases their early hits and lets you sample the roots of a great band.

Brevard, N.C. - Anderson used a balanced attack paced by an 18 point, 13 rebound double-double by Taylor Shugart as the Trojans offset 15 points by Gaither Hendrix to take home the 90-66 victory over the Brevard College Tornados on Saturday afternoon in Boshamer Gymnasium.
Hendrix led Brevard (7-8, 5-5 SAC) with his 15 point performance, hitting five of 14 shots from the floor, while adding three assists, as the Tornados fell for the fifth straight game. Josh Roper added 10 points and Vincent Dombrowski added 10 off the bench as the Tornados shot 37.3 percent (25-67) from the floor in the contest.
Five players achieved double figures scoring for Anderson (13-7, 7-3 SAC), led by Shugart as the junior center went nine of 14 from the floor. Nick Trull added 17 points off the bench, connecting on five three-pointers, while Brandon Young added 14 points and six rebounds. Kevis Cornwell and Tyrell McDowell added 13 points apiece as the Trojans hit 48.6 percent (36-74) percent of their field goal attempts.
A jumper by Young opened the scoring and Hendrix answered on the next possession as the teams were tied throughout the first minute of the contest. A layup by Trey Britton put the score at 4-2 at the 18:53 mark and the Tornados brought the game back to within two at 9-7 at the 16:29 mark as Hendrix hit a three-pointer, but the Tornados were unable to take the lead as Shugart would answer with a left-handed hook shot in the paint, putting the Trojans up 11-7.
This was as close as Brevard would get in the first half as the Tornados hit just two of 13 three-point attempts as Anderson built a 16 point lead at the 3:48 mark as McDowell drained a three-pointer off the assist from Denzail Jones. The Tornados would close out the first half with a 6-2 run as Jordan hit a layup and Moose scored four points to cut the lead at 36-24 at the half.
The lead extended out to 20 points at the 13:38 mark in the second half as McDowell hit a jumper in the paint, but Brevard was able to close the gap to 12 points following a Jordan layup at the 9:24 mark to put the score at 63-51. This was as close as the Tornados would get in the remainder of the game as Cornwell led the Trojans offense with 11 points in the second frame and Anderson held as much as a 24 point lead with 3:32 to play as Anderson closed out the game with the 90-66 victory.
Anderson held the 45-40 rebounding edge in the game, led by Shugart's 15 rebounds, while Josh Jordan paced Brevard with a team-high 10. Jordan also led the Tornados with two blocked shots. Jermichael Tanner and Denzail Jones both finished the contest with a game-high five assists to pace both teams' offenses, while Young and Roper both recorded three steals as the Trojans earned the season split with the Tornados, having fallen earlier this season at the Abney Athletic Center, 85-84.
The Tornados take Sunday off before jumping back into action on Monday evening as they make the trip to Due West, S.C. for a non-conference game against Erskine College. Tipoff between the Tornados and the Flying Fleet is set for 7:30 p.m. in Belk Arena.

Because of Emerica's all-photo layout-of-choice in the October Skate & Create issue, this interview never made it in. But now that Emerica's photos have sunk in while their video dropped a mind bending anchor, how exactly do you skate a spot where six of you is looking back at… well, you? We'll let Emerica's team MVP explain.
When you first got invited to the Skate & Create contest, what were you thinking?
I didn't really know what to think. It seemed like fun, just set up a bunch of ramps and skate for a week.
Did the concept of the contest make sense to you?
Nah. They were trying to explain what we were going to do with the setting up the mirrors, and I was like, "All right" [laughs]. (interview continued below)
What about when you actually got in the warehouse and saw the setup?
I got in kinda earlier than the rest of the team and got to watch them build everything, so it was just gnarly.
Yeah, it ended up looking like something out of a funhouse or something, right?
We had a whole U-Haul truck, and we're unloading all this sh-t. Then once they got the first mirror up, it was twelve feet tall or something, and they said they had like eight more to go.
Was it pretty weird skating surrounded by mirrors? Were you trying tricks while staring at yourself?
Yeah, it was definitely weird. All the lights were off in the background and they'd only have lights on the one obstacle—skating it for the first time was sketchy.
What was the first thing you skated?
It was those curved ledges that were set up like a hip. You had to stay on that skinny little track.
That's the one where you ollied up to a 50-50 down, right?
Yeah, that one.
Was it hard to spot your landings with all the reflections?
I was looking down just so I could focus where I was going, but then there were all the triangles and different colors too.
Did anybody's board ever shoot out and smash any mirrors?
Yeah, we did that. And then I think everybody broke the mirrors at the end.
How many years of bad luck do you think you got?
I dunno. Well, they weren't mirrors exactly, they were actually plastic, or plexiglass or something.
Was being in there like a full-on video/photo shoot production, where they were telling you where to be and where to go to get the shot?
They'd ask me what I thought about an idea for an obstacle and then they'd set it up and they we'd just session it. Ollie [Barton] would tell me to do the trick a few more times after I got it 'cause the mirrors—every time you'd go, every photo would turn out different. It actually took a long time to get a clip. Sometimes you'd go higher or lower and so you'd need to get it just right.
Anybody get sliced up by the glass?
Nah, but we kinda broke a lot of it. There was this one set up where there was two quarterpipes up against a wall and they screwed this piece of glass in the middle. I went over one time and kicked my board out and it just went right through it. And then I did it again by accident.
Were there sheets of glass ready to go, if one of them broke?
Yeah. It was kinda sketchy though 'cause sometimes they would just glue the glass into place, and they weren't screwed in or anything. So some of the pieces were kinda coming off. You'd leave for the night and come in the next day and piece had fallen over.
So you could be skating and a sheet of glass could fall on you at any time?
Yeah [laughs]. That didn't happen though, so that's good.
What happened to Reynolds? He was supposed to be a part of the crew, right?
I think he went to skate Carlsbad and got a heel bruise real bad.
Damn. Who came in his place?
Would you ever bring some mirrors to a street spot?
[Laughs] I don't know about that.
Maybe two mirrors on either side of a handrail?
That'd be pretty sketchy. It was gnarly trying to skate with the mirrors. It was dark all around, tons of mirrors, and crazy colors.

Designed for high output activities in cold temperatures and moderate weather, the Argus Jacket is insulated with breathable, hydrophobic Polartec® Alpha® synthetic insulation. Placed at the front and shoulders to offset direct exposure to wind and cold, this lightweight insulation provides warmth with minimal bulk. Lumin™ 100% nylon face fabric sheds wind and light precipitation, while the highly breathable, moisture wicking Torrent™ back panel facilitates ventilation and freedom of movement. Two easily accessible rear stash pockets hold gloves, hat or energy foods. An adjustable drawcord at the hem seals out cold, retractable thumbholes hold sleeves in place, and reflective blades on the back and sleeves improve visibility in low light conditions.
Serious mountain training means confronting a variety of conditions, including cold, wind, rain and snow. Prior to Polartec® Alpha®, the lack of breathable insulation meant choosing between overheating or foregoing necessary protection. Polartec® Alpha®, a unique synthetic insulation combining exceptional breathability and lightweight warmth, has specific properties that allowed Arc'teryx to create outerwear uniquely suited for high output in cold weather. The insulation's knit construction is more stable and durable than traditional synthetics. This stability permits the use of air permeable open weave face fabrics that encourage air flow through the garment to help increase evaporation and moisture transport. The result is essential warmth without overheating.
The knowledge Arc'teryx has acquired from creating for harsh alpine environments goes into the design and construction of products that help athletes focus on maximum personal performance. The Argus combines minimalist design with technical intelligence in a piece that combines breathability, insulation, weather protection and ergonomic freedom.

nah we have ladies on here. just not many attractive ones. how old are you?
i get inspiration from graff movies, some cats on here, or a graff book. and erasing is fine. trial and error. you could even go to the main page and look at the different cities. its a long road of hard work and dedication. just keep your shit SUPER simple until you have your letters down pack then start adding your own flavor too it.
I get inspiration from all around me, I really enjoy abstract art so that helps me break down letters, I watch shit loads of cartoons with my son so I get a lot of inspiration from that as well. Other than that just looking at graffiti inspires me, I am old enough now to have seen many different styles evolve and it is interesting to see what writers do to evolve their styles.
I TRY to make my stuff to be as original as possible, which is very hard nowadays but I seem to get some good feedback. As for erasing and stuff, hell I have probably erased more pieces than I have drawn (and my photobucket has about 1200 finshed drawings).
The best way to start off is simple keyboard letters, you will get more respect for solid simples than half arsed pieces and just keep practising and working at it, also don't just write your own name, do exchanges, battles random words, you never know how 1 letter may inspire you to do a letter in your name differently. Be humble, modest and appreciate constructive crits and you will go far.
JSabia-When I first started, I would straight out bite my letters BUT once I had copied the letter from someone else, I would redraw it and change something, and I would keep doing that until I had a letter that was no longer bitten but still had the solid foundation of the original letter.
As you progress you will find your letters will get better just from the repeated practice.
That said, don't post anything that you bite.
also, What are you writing?
The files are IN the computer!!
ok..so i was painting today.... i filled in 3 outa 4 letters (whole thing was about 5feet by 3 feet) and a brand new can of $6.50 montana hardcore was empty... i was like wtf.... it is cold here, but not really cold. was it the cold that caused this... cuz i got fuckign pissed when i had to leave it unfinished, and yes.. i shook the hell outa it... any help would be great. thanks
i got my throws down now im startin with simple letters, my question for this picture is how can i flow the letters so there isnt that empty spot between the L and O and how do you do the 3-d on simples?
hey guys, i really suck, and i was wonderin if yall could shed some light on the topic of bars, what are they, how do you do em? most graff i see is so intricate and other is not, i want to know it all how do they do it
how long would a throwup be? My guess would be less then 5 minutes right? depending how neat you want it? cause my friend said a throwup doesnt take more then 2 minutes and he writes fucking terrible, i could call him a toy but whatever.
a fill in or just a hollow?
depends on how long ur tag is, what do u write?
Real rough and rugged, shine like a gold nugget
Every time i pick up the microphone i drug it
"Come Clean" - Jeru the Damaja
Anywhere from a minute to 10 minutes depending on how long your name is, your paint, type of cap you're using, can control, and whether it is hollow or filled in.
my tag name is flask ,
but if im doing small pieces im gonna probably use stock caps because its a skinny pro .. i use a super fat on my mtn's, i'm a big fan of mtn's for some reason but i wanna try other cans like molotow's, they look pretty sick so i cnt wait.
two to five minutes
alright thanks :P
hey guys, i really suck, and i was wonderin if yall could shed some light on the topic of bars, what are they, how do you do em? most graff i see is so intricate and other is not, i want to know it all how do they do it
Look at a capital E
Its made of 4 bars. 1 vertical and 3 horizontal
all letters are made of these bars
Wrong photo . my bad.

Transfer credit evaluation is performed after admission and only when official transcripts are received from regionally accredited institutions.
If you have not been admitted to Benedictine University, please see the Admissions Requirements.
If you have not requested that official transcripts be sent to Benedictine University, please contact the college or university you attended and request official transcripts be sent to:
Benedictine University
5700 College Rd.
Lisle, IL 60532
NOTE: **transcripts are only considered official if sealed in the original envelope from the issuing institution**
Once you have been admitted to Benedictine University, your transcripts will be evaluated using criteria set forth by the Transfer Credit Policy. The total number of hours transferring and course equivalencies in the skills, core electives and major areas will be determined. Department chairs may be consulted when determining equivalencies in the major credit and cognate section. Syllabi may be requested for further evaluation in some cases. Please send syllabi to email@example.com.
As part of the evaluation process, a major checklist specific to your declared major is created, listing only the transfer credit that applies to the requirements listed. There may be courses included in the total number of hours accepted that may not appear on your checklist simply because they do not satisfy a specific requirement. These hours will count towards the 120 semester hours required for graduation with a bachelor's degree.
Transfer credit is then posted on your transcript according to the decisions made at the time of evaluation. Once you are registered for courses, you can view your transfer credit and the corresponding equivalencies under the "view my transfer credit report" link on MyBenU.
If additional coursework is completed after the initial transfer credit evaluation, or you have completed courses over the summer at another institution, it is important to send an updated transcript to Benedictine University so that it can be evaluated and posted accordingly. It is important to submit all updated academic information promptly since the absence of this information can affect prerequisites during registration and financial aid packaging. Hours in progress are not included in an official evaluation.
Only courses taken at Benedictine University will be included in the Benedictine grade point average (GPA). Courses taken at Benedictine University can only be retaken at Benedictine University. See the Course Repeat Policy in the University Catalog for additional information.
Benedictine University has created Transfer Guides where courses are listed with Benedictine University course equivalents to facilitate transfer from area community colleges. These guides are useful for both prospective and current students who wish to take courses off campus.
The Office of Transfer Credit Evaluation strives to maintain accuracy, consistency and integrity during every transfer credit evaluation, and makes every effort to research the courses completed. If you have questions regarding the transferability or equivalency of your transfer coursework, please contact us at (630) 829-1120.

As I have said in previous articles about items in the vast collection of letters and other print and nonprint materials in the Heritage Room of the A.K. Smiley Public Library, I wonder if researchers in the future will be able to reconstruct the lives and daily activities of people about whom they want to write biographies.
I say this because, on the one hand, the theoretical amount of material written about and by such people is vast - just think of the billions of emails that go into the ether each day.
On the other hand, a huge percentage of these emails is deleted in a very short time and not kept, either on a computer or in hard copy.
I contrast the above statements with the letters, sent in the traditional and old-fashioned method of "snail mail," by which people throughout the years communicated with one another.
It is through letters which, fortunately for the residents of Redlands, are kept in the Smiley Library Heritage Room, that we can look with interest at the comings and goings of one branch of the Smiley family from 1874 through 1906.
In one box is a vast number of letters written by Daniel Smiley and members of his family to one another. These letters describe activities undertaken by the writer, tales of happiness and sadness, and give the reader a good view of the lives of a prominent family - prominent in New York and in Redlands and in many other places.
The letter writers are predominantly the following: twin brothers Alfred H. Smiley (1828-1903) and Albert K. Smiley (1828-1912), their younger half-brother Daniel Smiley (1855-1930) and his wife, Effie Florence Newell, (1858-1951) and their children Albert Keith (known as Bert, 1883-1964), Hugh (1886-1933), Francis Gerow (1886-1933) and Ruth (1892-1981). In the letters the in-laws are referred to as sister and brother.
Herein is a sample of the many letters in the Daniel Smiley collection. These letters show the extended Smiley family in serious and playful modes.
Letter from Daniel to Albert (in Redlands) on April 22, 1902, talking about work at Lake Mohonk:
"Yesterday aside from conference letters (the mail delivery) was smaller than usual. Yet we had 49 conference, 29 room, 9 provisions, 23 building and bills, and 10 miscellaneous making a total of 120. It has taken me nearly two hours each afternoon to open and dispose of all of these letters. I am eagerly counting the days till you come."
There is a letter from Rebecca Smiley to Sue Smiley on May 10, 1893, written on the letterhead of the Arrowhead Springs Hotel, San Bernardino County, Arrowhead Springs, in which she says that she is enjoying the Arrowhead Springs Hotel.
Letter from Helen Harrington to Ruth Smiley on March 28, 1903, from the Hotel Colonial, Nassau, Bahamas:
"The people have no glass in their windows because if they did they would be rich enough to pay taxes" and "the houses have no chimneys. Doesn't that seem queer?"
Letter from Effie to "sister" on March 4, 1893:
"We are having great excitement now - for the big boiler is on its way up the mountain - a new experience for me. I have just been reading one of Charlotte Bronte's books and have been much in the contrast between the English and French characters."
She goes on to comment about the new position taken by a former president of the United States: "What a wise thing for President Harrison to go into; work as he has in taking a professorship at Stanford University."
(N.B.: I would think that former chief executives of our nation could perform a great public service if they were to follow in Harrison's footsteps.)
Letter from Nellie to her sister (Mrs. Smiley in Mohonk) on April 19, 1894, in which she discusses her poor physical and mental health:
"I am sad and feel crushed all the time - it is hard for me to look up but I'm getting on about the same (I) had to get another belt it's a torture to use night and day but if I can have another operation by it I shall be glad "
Letter to Albert K. Smiley from a friend in Philadelphia in which he not only requests a room at the hotel but talks about the new Smiley Library in Redlands, written May 11, 1898:
"(We request) three rooms we would like them pleasantly situated near the elevator and not having the afternoon sun on them.
"We were much excited in the construction of the Library founded by you in California and congratulations on accomplishing so beneficial a work for your fellow men. It must have been a great pleasure and satisfaction to you."
Letter from John S. Bushing of New York City to the Smileys, thanking them profusely for their having sent the letter writer something of great value to an urban resident of the East Coast:
"A box was delivered to our house the other day which has created much interest and not a little excitement. My dear friend I had no idea that you thought enough of us to remember us in this royal way.
"We are quite overwhelmed by the generosity of the gift but I should not be surprised by anything in this life for your openhearted liberality is proverbial. You always do things on such a large scale. You may like to know that every orange arrived sound and good. The stems are even green and they are keeping very well."
Letter from Kate, in Brooklyn, N.Y., to Mrs. Daniel Smiley (Effie) on March 15, 1899:
"I have such a delightful doctor. He is just about perfect I have quite lost my heart to him - but that is worse than no good - he is steeled against such things. I think I have succeeded in making his head swim a little (but) there is no more hopeless subject than a bachelor of fifty or thereabouts. Besides he has remained faithful to a love affair of thirty or more years ago - the girl died and ever since he has lived with his relatives."
Letter from Henrietta C. Partridge (of Redlands) to friends on May 11, 1901, commenting at some length on the visit of President McKinley to Redlands:
"We all wished you could have seen how lovely it was as the President drove up Wednesday morning. You must forgive me for sending a picture of myself for I wanted you to see the bouquet (which I handed to him) He has a fine face and most charming and courteous manner and very kind good eyes; so we have all fallen in love with him. It seems to me such a fine face could not belong to a politician (sic). The whole thing was very successful and brought such credit to the town."
Letter from Daniel to his wife, on April 18, 1902, in which he talks about an emotional heart-to-heart talk he had with their son Hugh:
" he was in bed and I went in and talked to him an hour or more finally breaking down completely and throwing myself at his neck (and) cried like a baby. It had been many years since my emotions had gotten the upper hand and I hadn't looked for it was not to happen again, but this dear boy so reminded me of thee and my heart so ached for him to do just right."
Letter from Daniel to Effie on Feb. 15, 1902, while he was staying overnight at Vassar College. He had had dinner with the editor of The Century, one of the leading journals of the early 20th century:
" and afterward I enjoyed his lecture on Lincoln. I saw considerable of him this morning and I went with him to the train."
Letter from son Bert to this mother (from Haverford College):
"This Spring, I am broad jumping and playing tennis for exercise and recreation. Nothing makes one enjoy life more than to get good and tired every day. I hope that you are all well and happy in California. I rather regret that soon I will quit this life where I have lived for four years and had so many good times."
Letter from Mabel (Bert's future wife) to Mrs. Smiley on Nov. 11, 1905, when she was visiting Bert at Haverford College:
"Bert and I have been very happy last night and today have had some good talks I had a very nice visit to Salem and while there I told the family (of) our engagement and they were one and all very pleased. They all spoke of my dear boy and of his family, who stood for so many good works."
Letter from Daniel to his wife from the Los Angeles Limited Railway on his way to New York, March 13, 1906:
"It was truly hard to leave thee Last night I thought it all over and carefully searched out the real state of feelings down below the surface and I am truly thankful that I had this winter with thee and I shall always look back on it gratefully. My heart aches this very moment for thee."
These letters, and the many others in this collection, show a prominent family at work and at play, in serious moments and at moments of tender affection for one another. They are of great interest to readers such as I, who have had the privilege and pleasure of studying in the Heritage Room of the A.K. Smiley Public Library.
Donald L. Singer holds degrees in history and education and is retired after a career as a professor and administrator at community colleges, including serving as president of Crafton Hills College and San Bernardino Valley College. He volunteers as an archivist in the A.K. Smiley Public Library Heritage Room.

Honoring fallen firefighters
(Cleveland) - The 2014 Cleveland Firefighters Shamrock Club Memorial to Fallen Firefighers was held next to FirstEnergy Stadium.
The annual St. Patrick's Day tradition pays tribute to firefighters who have fallen in the line of duty.
This year, participants remembered the passing of Cleveland firefighter Robert Marquard, who died in the 1963 Avis Rent-A-Truck propane gas leak explosion.
Marquard, a 15 year veteran of the force was ventilating the area when the blast occurred. He suffered burns over 50% of his body and died several weeks later.
Attending the ceremony was son Bob Marquard, who was touched by the outpouring of support. Bob says he was just 8 years old at the time, but remembers his dad as a hard working, but fun loving guy.
Bob says, 50 years later he had to refresh his memory of the case, but reports his children have now taken a keen interest in their grandfather's legacy.

text: Don't get upset, people love to whinge and moan about everything.Thanks to you both for replies. This sport is growing with a new exciting platform. We all have expectations and some of us are going to have to step up to support it. Lets support those when they do. As for Gareth, I've met him a few times and he's a real gentleman. After what I have experienced this weekend I dont know how he carries his phone with him. The man works for the Telegraph, BT Sport, Fox and does bits for the UFC...all at the same time. That is a massive ask and perhaps why I was asked to come into the studio. We need a man with Gareth's skills, access and ambition to help drive the UFC in order to benefit regional MMA. He's trying to develop his knowledge, but he barely gets time to sleep!! I met him formally at Marc Goddards ref/ judges seminar, so he's genuinely trying to develop his knowledge. In a partnership with a well-informed character from MMA/ UFC they will have the bases covered at BTS. But, if you dont buy into someone's style that so be it. Caroline's new as can be seen, but she's so enthusiastic and excited about the sport. Her partner has trained in the sport and she's committed to deepening her knowledge and involvement. She had a very difficult job on Saturday and is probably her biggest critic. I found it very upsetting and difficult reading people's comments about her.

Salem-Keizer's ninth-inning rally falls short in 5-4 loss to Em's
The Volcanoes give up the two go-ahead runs in the eighth and load the bases in the ninth but fall just one run shy of tying the game.
By Josh Hauser | August 17, 2012 10:35 PM ET
EUGENE - A tight game was decided in the eighth inning as Salem-Kezier fell to Eugene 5-4 on Friday at PK Park. A 3-3 tie was broken up with two Eugene runs in the eighth frame and the Volcanoes could only manage one in the top of the ninth to fall victim to a one-run loss.
Ryan Jones was to credit for three of the four RBIs as he highlighted the Volcanoes' offense with his two crucial hits on the evening. He recorded his first home run of the season - a two-run shot to left - in the fifth inning and knocked an RBI-single up the middle in the ninth inning.
Roman Madrid got the win for Eugene after being inserted in the eighth inning. He allowed one run over 1 1/3 innings while striking out two and surrendering one hit. Madrid did struggle in his outing as he walked three Volcanoes.
Eugene jumped out to an early 2-0 lead in the bottom of the second before Ryan Jones' long ball tied the contest in the fifth. The Emeralds countered with a run off of an error in the bottom of the fifth to lead 3-2. Salem-Keizer re-tied the contest off of an RBI groundout by Dashenko Ricardo before Eugene reclaimed the lead when it scored two runs on an RBI double by Stephen Carmon and yet another error.
One run in the top of the ninth helped the Volcanoes close their deficit to 5-4 as an RBI single by Ryan Jones fueled Salem-Kezier's comeback. However, Eugene's Madrid induced a Mitchell Delfino fly out to close things out.
Joe Rapp matched Ryan Jones' hits effort with two also, helping propel the Volcanoes to eight hits in the contest. Stephen Carmon led all players with four hits for the Em's, as they out-hit Salem-Keizer 10-8.
Joe Biagini had a rough go of things in the start, allowing eight hits and three runs while walking four. But Biagini did exit the game leaving his team in good standing. Gaspar Santiago threw two effective innings of one-hit, shutout ball giving way to Stephen Johnson who earned the loss after giving up what would turn out to be the winning runs.
The Volcanoes are forced into a series finale rubber match for the fourth consecutive series, as they will look to clinch their fourth straight when the two teams go at it again on Saturday from PK Park, beginning at 7:05p.m. Cameron Lamb (1-0, 3.86) will climb the hill for Salem-Keizer in his first start as a Volcano in the 2012 season. Opposing Lamb will be Joseph Ross (0-2, 2.13) of Eugene.

This is the problem.
From USB worked perfectly, but after I installed it I have a very low resolution.
I have no idea why, especially since it works from USB.
I have a nvidia card, not sure what model exactly.
Any help?
I deleted bt4, and backtrack5 is unusable right now.
Anyone knows how to get a normal screen?
Ctrl+alt+keypad +/- does work, giving me an even smaller resolution (600 I think).
What can I do?
