Our experience is your advantage
Future-fit based on tradition: BAG has always been able to identify future technological sectors at an early stage and develop precise solutions for these. Our company roots reach back to the year 1909, and the first igniters and ballasts were manufactured in Turgi in Switzerland more than 40 years ago. This signified the start of our success story as a partner to the lighting industry. Here are some of the milestones:
The roots of the company
The Swiss Bronceguss AG (BAG) is founded in Turgi/ Switzerland.
BAG Turgi initiates production of igniters and ballasts
With invention of the high pressure sodium vapour lamp by GE, BAG starts production of a supply unit consisting of a thyristor-controlled igniter and inductive ballast.
BAG Turgi launches the first hot restrike igniters to the market
The company of Osram releases the first thyristor-controlled superimposed-pulse igniters from BAG for operating 400 W high pressure sodium vapour lamps. Further igniter approvals follow.
Superimposed-pulse igniters replace thyristor-controlled igniters
The first superimposed-pulse igniters with bi-metal starter under the name of SM6 replace thyristor-controlled igniters as switching elements.
The first electronic ballasts are presented
We show electronic control gear for the first time at the Hanover trade fair.
Conversion to digital technology
The change to digital switching technology in electronic control gear ensures program-controlled start-up and optimal operation of fluorescent light sources.
A production site is founded on the Philippines
The first foreign manufacturing location is founded near Manila on the Philippines.
Expansion in China
A production site is founded in Zhuhai.
The advent of Multi-Lamp Technology
A new era comes about with production of the world's first electronic ballasts for fluorescent lamps with multi-lamp technology.
Company takeover and relocation of BAG Turgi to Arnsberg
BAG electronics GmbH is founded in 2002 with its location at Arnsberg, Germany. The further expansion also covers all activities in the areas of production, development, sales management, marketing, procurement and logistics.
Market launch of Zirius hot restrike igniters
In the hot re-ignition sector the new ZIRIUS generation offers completely electronic ignition devices with intelligent ignition management systems to achieve several user advantages.
The signs are set for expansion: BAG electronics takes over HÜCO Lightronic from Espelkamp
The premium quality products become a part of the BAG expanded product portfolio, and HÜCO employees strengthen the organisation.
HÜCO Lightronic becomes BAG
Right on time for Light+Building 2010: the dual-brand strategy is replaced with the new corporate design, and HÜCO Lightronic is also called BAG
BAG founds the LEDCycle
By founding an own business sector, all activities concerning the future technology of LED are bundled to the advantage of customers.
ZITARES intelligent revolutionises LED control
Everything from a single source: With the reliable and powerful LED ECG of the ZITARES family and the zitares360 software, BAG is creating the complete solution. Through ZITARES intelligent, LED operation is becoming more flexible than ever before.
Human Centric Lighting – solutions from a single-source
BAG proves once more to be a trendsetter by having presented convincing solutions for Human Centric Lighting already at the Light&Building exhibition in 2014. A next step development follows in 2015 – with cost-efficient and future-oriented MixedWhite-Systems.

Small cause – great impact
Plastic bags are one of the especially critical forms of "problematic waste", and it is estimated that it will take several hundred years for a plastic bag to completely disintegrate. This is why it's much better to use alternatives. BAG India sets a good example to continuously reduce the production of waste, and also to heighten an awareness for ecological conduct.
"Swap plastic bags for cloth bags" was the motto of a large-scale exchange campaign. Employees use the bags each and every day for their personal belongings, and employees at the Indian BAG location doing away with plastic bags were in return given high quality cloth versions – and the company also took care of correct waste disposal of the plastic refuse. With a little luck, this will contribute to reducing the level of "wild waste" consisting of aggravating plastic.
Simultaneously, BAG India is also ecologically committed with campaigns involving plants – many donated trees were planted in 2014 at the Bopdev Temple, for a greener and more environmentally-friendly India.

President Maithripala Sirisena has commuted 187 death sentences to life imprisonment on recommendations by an expert committee headed by retired Supreme Court judge Nimal E. Dissanayake.
The decision has been announced in the wake of protests demanding the implementation of the death penalty on the person convicted by the Negombo High Court for rape and murder of a 5-year old girl in the Kotadeniyawa police area in the Gampaha District.
Justice Ministry spokesperson Harsha B. Abeykoon told The Island that President Maithripala Sirisena had endorsed Dissanayake committee's recommendations on 3 separate occasions (Dec. 2015, Apr. 2016 and May 2016).
The previous government established the committee in Oct. 2013 to explore ways and means of overcoming severe difficulties caused by suspension of death penalty in accordance with an understanding with the European Union. The committee included Secretary to the Justice Ministry, additional Solicitor General and Prisons Commissioner.
The Prisons Department has made repeated representations in respect of nearly 1,200 convicts on death row.
Abeykoon said that the committee had inquired into cases of nearly 400 convicts on death row and recommended the abolition of death sentence.
Foreign Ministry sources told The Island that FM Mangala Samaraweera assured the Geneva-based United Nations Human Rights Council last September that Sri Lanka wouldn't implement the death penalty. He also said the government would abolish death penalty.
Justice Minister Wijeyadasa Rajapakshe told The Island yesterday that it would be a continuing process. Asked whether those on the death row, who had their death sentences commuted to life sentence, were eligible for release after serving 20 years behind bars, Minister Rajapakshe said that was a possibility. Minister Rajapakshe emphasised that death penalty had been converted to life sentence before the incumbent government came into being in January 2015.

Let's start this off by saying that I'm not a professional writer. My most successful piece of work consists of an erotic Lord of the Rings fanfiction where Frodo and Bilbo get it on. On the other hand, I can say I've been writing long enough to learn a few lessons that people never really talk about.
So I'm here to crush your dreams and in the process bore you to death with some of the things I've learned about writing. Buckle up, because if you don't, chances are you'll flee the room before it's over.
5 All The Advice SucksEdit
Since I'm already plunging head first into the valley of shit no one cares about, how about I start by talking about advice no one has probably ever read? Why? Because I'm a genius like that.
Now let's start by saying that not all writing advice is bad. Especially for beginners like me, soaking up advice from the pros is the best thing a newbie can really do. But after you surf enough websites and get deeper and deeper into the words, they all kind of start to sound the same. If it's fantasy, they say not to rip off Tolkien. If it's suspense, they say to start with action. And so on and so forth. They all have a different way of saying it, but the message is basically the same.
The best example I like to use is Writer's Digest. When I first began writing, they were the first place I turned to when it came to advice. They were so huge, so they had to give great advice, right? Maybe at first. But everyday I would receive an email from them about some new article on how to make your writing better or something like that. After making sure I got rid of all those alerts from that porn site I signed up to I would always go and take a visit. (To Writer's Digest, not the porn site. Well, most of the time.) And after enough time doing that, all the advice started to sound the same. Even when I went to other websites, they said the same thing. Do this. Don't do that. After enough time I found the words uttered by my baby cousin were more shocking.
As I said before, not all advice is bad, but there is only so much you can really see before it all blends together. Perhaps I'm just not looking in the right places. But for now, there's nothing left to say that I really haven't heard. Writing is like raising a child; you can listen to all the advice you want, but the only way you'll really get anywhere is by trial and error, and hoping that by the end that what you made that won't be shunned by society. Then again, I've never raised a kid, so maybe it's not the best example.
4 Only the Stupid Get AttentionEdit
Once again, let's go back a step. While genius often does fall under the radar, it isn't always overlooked. Tolkien is worshiped as one of the greatest fantasy writers of all time, and he rightfully deserves it. And if you pick up a book published in the nineteenth century, chances are it's going to be very well written with an intriguing plot. But those days are quickly fading. Constant entertainment had made it to where only the few and far really read these days, and even the ones that do usually do it over the internet or are still in middle school.
The internet had made it to where anyone can publish their writings, and while I'm not complaining, there's no doubt that this has allowed many idiots (like me!) to post their junk. But there are still plenty of wonders out there, people who are genuinely good and work hard to get noticed, but sadly, most of them are overlooked. Here's why.
My cruel cruel jealousy aside, I've boiled it down to two reasons why the good writers are overlooked. For a start, people are stupid. Most of the people that do any real reading on the internet are usually still in elementary, and because of that their tiny peanut brains can only process so much. So while 'Catherine sauntered across the Persian carpet, batting her eyelashes and swinging her hips for maximum affect' is much better than 'Catherine walked away and gave the boys a sexy look', chances are more people will flock to the second one, just because it's easier to read and they don't have to guess that Catherine's probably a whore.
The second reason that good writers are overlooked is because people love dragging others down. Which one do think is more likely to get comments: a well thought out, casually delivered report about the presidential elections or Glenn Beck ranting about how Obama is a Nazi?
People love drama, but more importantly, they love feeling superior. And if that means telling a sixth grader she writes like shit, so be it. Even though people are slamming her work, she (or Glenn Beck) are still getting more attention than the person who took the time to be courteous. The lesson: being an idiot pays more than being intelligent.
3 Originality isn't All That AppreciatedEdit
So let's say you're a Lord of the Rings fan (Or whatever geeky fandom you're into). You love the series so much and have this great idea for a fan fiction. You plan it out, spend valuable World of War Craft time writing and revising it, and then finally you're done. You read it over and it looks like something even Tolkien would be proud of. You post it and wait for the praise to come rolling in. But nothing. You check it out, and are outraged to find not only is no one reading it, but the story where Frodo bones Bilbo has gotten extremely popular despite looking like it was written by monkey with down syndrome.
So you wonder to yourself, or rather I wonder while you get off to Frodo doing naughty things to Bilbo, why does this piece of crap get to be popular while my well thought out masterpiece is ignored? Well, for a start, unless it's a porn, chances are your fanfiction won't get you anywhere. Hell, unless there's a least one sex scene, chances are even your book won't take off. Just look at the sales mark on Fifty Shades of Grey.
Bad porn aside, there is another reason people don't flock to see your amazing writing. Just like how mom won't go with your idea to try and breed the dog with the cat, people prefer the familiar. While the monstrosity your dog and cat produce may earn the noble prize, chances are people will still prefer the same old none deformed dog. Before I go too far into the logistics of cross breeding, let's take a look at most of the recent movies published. About half are superhero movies, while the other half are vampire movies. The plots are incredibly similar to one another and most of the attraction comes from hoping the lead actress gets naked. Studios don't make these things if they don't think they will sell. And sure enough, they do.
Especially in the case of fanfiction, one idea will be used over and over again, usually all written by the same deformed monkey. But people will read it, so they'll keep making it. You can write all the masterpieces you want, but unless it fits in with the current fad, chances are people won't look at it or will only appreciate it after you're dead.
2 It Never Really Pays OffEdit
Okay, so your Lord of the Rings fanfiction didn't work out, but that's no reason to give up, right? I mean, even if you only get appreciation after death, you still got to go for it. Maybe. I say maybe because writing to a diverging road. Who knows, maybe you will write the next American masterpiece, or maybe, just maybe, you won't. I'm here to tell you that chances are, you won't.
If you are a writer, you probably already know how slim the chances are that you'll get published, let alone be successful. Despite what grandpa told you, it's not always about hard work and determination, if fact, most of the time it's just about getting lucky. It doesn't help that most people today don't read and when they do it's usually some weird dwarf porn. Seriously, it says a lot about our society when the three best selling books in the country are about some jack ass billionaire defiling a college grad who obviously brought daddy one too many beers.
It's not your fault. The problem isn't even that you're a bad writer, it's just the fact that everyone is also a writer and has the same goals you do. And chances are that you're not much better than them. Even if your idea seems wonderful chances are someone somewhere had the same idea and wrote it better than you. When so many people want the same thing, chances are that your not going to be one of the lucky few who make it.
Now, I'm not saying that you have no potential. You might even be the next Stephen King. I'm just saying that chances are your not going to accomplish everything you set out for, including laying Johnny Depp. Even if you do manage to get published most books never sell over a thousand copies. The alternative route isn't much better, since pretty much everyone has a blog or youtube account, so you probably won't wind up famous that way.
And since I've already depressed you past the point of return, I'd also like to add that you're ugly.
1 Maybe You Will Get Lucky
Since I imagine that the people reading this want to burn me at the stake (hi mom!) so I'm going to try and save some image here. Now, I've already ranted on about how low the chances are of you being successful are, but what I haven't said yet is that things aren't totally helpless. Because, occasionally, people do get lucky.
Pick up the biography of any famous author. There is probably a whole section dedicated just to their struggles and how often they got rejected and such. Most of them were told that they were horrible and would never get anywhere. Then, BOOM! Their work goes mainstream, and they're millionaires. And unbelievable as it may seem, it could happen to you. If you work hard enough and keep chasing the dream, who knows, maybe it really will pay off.
Now, don't get your hopes up too soon. If you've actually managed to get this far in the article chances are you have a lot of patience, so as long as you don't take my advice you should really try and go for it. As long as you're willing to sacrifice your life and enjoyment for something that probably won't happen. And just think, if shit like Twilight can get published and be a bestseller, maybe can your semi homosexual porn can also be successful. Or maybe not.

Charlie Sheen
Charlie Sheen is currently married to Brooke Muller, although domestic violence charge were filed over the Christmas Holiday 2009. Pictures and news updates about Charlie Sheen can be found at Gossip Center: Charlie's professional and personal lives.
Never one to keep his mouth shut, Charlie Sheen told the "Graham Norton Show" that Republican Presidential Candidate Donald Trump once gave him diamond cufflinks that turned out to be fake.
The "Hot Shots" actor explained that he met the "Apprentice" star five years ago when he was getting ready to marry Brooke Mueller- "I noticed Donald staring at my watch. He says, 'I want to give you an early wedding gift as a gesture from me and Melania' - and she doesn't say a word; she's very sweet and very pretty but she just kind of sits there."
Charlie Sheen's HIV diagnosis has motivated him to "do something heroic".
The 50-year-old actor hit headlines last November when he announced his health battle. He has now partnered with condom company Lelo Hex as their latest brand ambassador, and told People that the business relationship is indicative of what he now wants to do with his life.
Back in November, Charlie Sheen told the world he is HIV positive, and now he's involved in an experimental clinical trial with a new medication.
The "Two and a Half Men" star told Britian's i Newspaper, "I'm actually involved in a FDA (America's Food and Drug Administration) trial where it's going to change the immediate landscape of HIV treatment. It's a company called CytoDyn and a treatment called PRO 140. And instead of taking the pills every day, it's one shot every week."
Charlie Sheen has been hit with more legal trouble after failing to pay thousands on a credit card bill.
The former Two and a Half Men star was served with papers by executives at American Express, who claim he owes them a balance of $287,879.28, from his Platinum AmEx card.
Charlie Sheen's ex-wife has filed papers to take over the actor's bank account so she can collect the cash he allegedly owes her.
Brooke Mueller, the mother of Sheen's twin sons, claims the star is almost $90,000 behind in child support payments, and she wants to make sure he pays up.
Charlie Sheen has blamed his bizarre rants in 2011 on taking too much testosterone.
The 50-year-old actor hit headlines when he was fired from Two and a Half Men in 2011 and went on a series of rants against the show and its creator Chuck Lorre, who he called a "clown" and a "turd". In addition, in February that year Charlie said in a Today interview that he didn't need to go to rehab because the manual for Alcoholics Anonymous was "written for normal people, people that aren't special, people that don't have tiger blood, you know, Adonis DNA."
Their marriage ended bitterly back in 2006 but it seems the animosity between Charlie Sheen and Denise Richards is still very much alive.
The "Wild Things" actress has filed a lawsuit against the "Two and a Half Men" star, requesting $1 million for allegedly braking a trust that was supposed to secure housing for herself and their daughters Lola and Sam.
Charlie Sheen is reportedly planning to reveal all about his life with HIV in a new memoir.
The Wall Street star went public with his HIV-positive diagnosis in a candid Today Show interview on Tuesday (November 17), revealing he has been battling the virus since 2011.
HIV positive basketball legend Magic Johnson hopes Charlie Sheen will help him educate the world about the disease now the actor has come clean about his diagnosis.
The U.S. sports star revealed he had the virus in 1991 and subsequently created the Magic Johnson Foundation to raise money to help fight the disease and educate others.
Hollywood veteran Michael Sheen fought back tears as he praised his son Charlie Sheen for his "courage" after he went public with his HIV diagnosis.
The former Two and a Half Men star confirmed long-running rumours about his health on Tuesday (November 17) when he announced he was diagnosed with the disease four years ago.

What will happen to 'Two and Half Men' now?
Could this be it for Two and a Half Men?
A series of increasingly bizarre and combative statements from star Charlie Sheen seem to have thrown TV's top comedy into jeopardy, despite contractual agreements that keep Sheen on the show, and the show on CBS, for another season.
After Sheen railed against Men producer Chuck Lorre on Alex Jones' syndicated radio show and in an "open letter" sent to TMZ.com Thursday, CBS and Warner Bros. announced plans to shut down production, which had been due to resume next week for four more episodes after what the actor earlier termed a "forced hiatus" for a home rehab stint. Pronouncing himself cured of alcohol and substance abuse, he referred to Lorre as "a contaminated little maggot," an "earthworm" and a "clown," apparently for his involvement in the decision to initially suspend production late last month.
Given Sheen's problems and his hostile public statements about his employers, CBS and Warner Bros. aren't optimistic about another season: "With this set of facts and this guy's behavior, it would take a lot of work on his part to make the two companies comfortable with continuing the show," says a senior executive at one of them, who declined to be identified because of the sensitivity over the fractured relationship between the star and producers.
As for a suggestion from Sheen that he would gladly return but only if Lorre is forced out, "that's not an alternative," the executive said.
Sheen, born Carlos Estevez, repeatedly referred to Lorre, born Charles Levine, as "Chaim Levine." In a terse statement late Thursday, CBS and producer Warner Bros. said that "based on the totality of Charlie Sheen's statements, conduct and condition, CBS and Warner Bros. Television have decided to discontinue production of Two and a Half Men for the remainder of the season." Both left the door open for a ninth season next fall, though they declined further comment Friday.
In an interview aired Friday on Fox Sports Radio's Loose Cannons,
Sheen said "bigwigs" (later clarified as CBS president Leslie Moonves) came to his house. "They said change your life, and I did, in like an hour. ... They kept telling me how to live my personal life, and I said back off, back off, and they wouldn't."
Referring to Lorre and producer Lee Aronsohn, he said, "These guys were a couple of AA Nazis, raging hypocrites. It's been a toxic environment for eight years, and I felt like an unwelcome relative given cold coffee at 8 in the morning, and I got tired of it. If they want to roll back season nine I could do that, but not with the t—— they have (in place) now, that's impossible."
Sheen says Warner Bros. is "in absolute breach" by suspending production while he is willing to show up, so he is entitled to his pay, and "it's about to get gnarly."
Warner Bros. declined comment on Sheen's allegations about breach of contract and being owed money.
With Sheen not backing down from heated comments, the lucrative comedy's future could be in jeopardy: "I was told if I went on the attack, they would cancel the show," Sheen said Thursday, seemingly taunting the studio to do just that. "I'll make movies with superstars." (Sheen, whose best-known film roles were in Wall Street and Platoon in the 1980s, had his last credited role as the voice of Dex Dogtective in 2009's animated Foodfight!, co-starring Hilary Duff.)
In a text message to ABC's Good Morning AmericaFriday, Sheen vowed to show up to the set anyway next week, and he told Radar Online that he was in "serious negotiations" for his own talk show on HBO, which that channel quickly denied.
A Warner Bros. executive says the decision on the show's future may rest with Lorre, who also produces CBS' new Mike & Molly and hit The Big Bang Theory for Warner Bros. Men and Bang will eventually net $2 billion or more to the studio in syndication fees.
Lorre is accustomed to dealing with difficult stars in former gigs producing ABC's Roseanne and Grace Under Fire and CBS' Cybill.Grace star Brett Butler was fired in 1998, and the series was canceled after erratic behavior on the set due to alcohol abuse and an addiction to prescription painkillers. And Lorre also battled with stars Cybill Shepherd and Roseanne Barr.
Lorre has been one of TV's most successful show runners, though he might have provoked Sheen's ire with a so-called "vanity card," which flashes during the end credits of his shows, after the last original episode of Men on Feb. 14. Noting his healthy habits, he concluded, "If Charlie Sheen outlives me, I'm gonna be really pissed." Sheen later told a radio interviewer that he "didn't care" about the comment but said it was one of the "few compliments" Lorre had ever paid him.
But following Thursday's Big Bang episode, Lorre took a different tack, showing only the word "CENSORED." An explanation was offered on Lorre's website: "It was more fun writing these things when I was fairly certain no one was reading them. That is no longer the case ... which is why I've decided to take a break for a few weeks. Let things cool off a little. Instead of writing short essays that upset people, I've decided to use my one second of network TV to do something simple and hassle-free." A photo of his knuckle followed the text.
CBS pays Warner Bros. $4 million an episode for Men, covering all of the show's production costs as well as Sheen's $1.2 million-per-episode salary, so the shortened season of 16 episodes, down from 24 originally planned, will save the network $32 million. The show averages 14.6 million viewers, and even repeat ratings are strong: Monday's episode averaged more than 11 million and was the most-watched show that night against all-original competition.
Warner Bros. does not pay crewmembers for episodes it doesn't make, but covers some of the actors' salaries. And having fewer episodes will hurt those syndication revenues down the line.

ASHBURN, Va. (CBSDC) — It's a good time to live near the nation's capital, according to Forbes.
The business magazine ranked the country's wealthiest counties and six of the top 10 are in the D.C. metro area.
Loudoun County in Virginia tops the list for the second consecutive year. Households in Loudoun County boast a median income of $119,525, the highest of any county in the U.S.
Home to Dulles International Airport, Loudoun County has fed off government contracting as its population has nearly doubled since 2001, to more than 325,000.

AAPG 2002 Meeting, Houston, Texas, March 1013, 2002
and Depositional Environments of the Boquillas Formation, Upper Cretaceous,
Southwest Texas
Ramón H. Treviño and C. I. Smith
The sharp contact between the Boquillas Formation and the underlying Buda Formation in the vicinity of Del Rio, Texas marks a significant sequence boundary in the Upper Cretaceous. The subjacent Buda Formation consists of a benthonic-dominated fauna in a bioturbated lime wackestone. The lower Boquillas consists of hummocky cross-stratified, lime grainstone, packstone and dolostone with allochems of planktonic foraminifera, ammonites, calcispheres, and Inoceramus fragments. These deposits alternate with thin laminated black shales. The presence of hummocky cross-stratification and disrupted bedding in the lower Boquillas suggests deposition near storm-wave base. The lack of benthonic fauna and bioturbation and the presence of scattered pyrite in the lower Boquillas suggest that sediments were deposited under reducing conditions. Higher in the section, the lithology consists of thicker laminated black shales alternating with thinner laminated lime wackestones and packstones but with a similar suite of allochems. This suggests deepening on the shelf. Further up section, burrowing increases in the laminated lime wackestones and eventually develops into extensively bioturbated, nodular lime packstones with echinoid fragments. This implies increasing oxygenation probably associated with shallowing on the shelf.
In a sequence stratigraphic framework, the base of the Boquillas Formation of southwest Texas is a third order sequence boundary and the lower part of the unit is within a transgressive systems tract. The thickest black shales constitute a maximum flooding surface. The upper part of the formation represents early highstand.

The Bank of Ireland (NYSE:IRE) is about to have a new majority shareholder. Ireland's government is expected to raise its stake in the Bank of Ireland from 36% to something constituting a majority. The Irish government is also expected to raise its stake in Allied Irish Bank (AIB) to, potentially, 99%.
If this sounds like Ireland is taking a page from the U.S. bank bailout strategy you're right. When you're facing the potential of a run on the banking system, the government is essentially the last entity that can step in and provide a backstop. I know many of you cringe at the thought of government intervention in a capitalist system, but the alternative of standing aside and letting banks fail is no option. Would you want to simply lose money you had deposited in a bank that failed?
The situation in Ireland is even worse than that though because the Irish government doesn't have the capital to back its banks, so it has to get a loan from the European Union. And, of course, the overall situation is worse still, as Portugal and perhaps even Spain may have to follow a similar course.
The Bank of Ireland has dropped to around $1.25 a share. Seeing that the government is prepared to prevent outright failure, we as investors, might consider if it's time to buy a little stock. After all, anybody that bought Bank of America (NYSE:BAC) or Citigroup (NYSE:C) when it looked like there was no hope, has done pretty well. Since the March 9, 2009, market bottom Citigroup is up 318% and Bank of America is up 253%.
Bank of Ireland traded as high as $91 in early 2007. Clearly, the stock's not headed back there anytime soon, and it probably never will. But the shares could pop a little as the government's bailout plans are revealed.
A word of caution to speculators though. There's no doubt there will be bargain-hunters attempting to bottom fish the stock. Which means any entry needs to be well-timed. In pre-market, I've watched the stock trade between $1.27 and $1.35. I suspect that range might give you quick upside.
But let's not forget that most buyers who enter today are not long term holders. They will be looking to flip the stock quickly. So if you take a shot at this one, you should be prepared to sell it quickly. I would expect much of the gains (if there are any) achieved today will reverse in the coming weeks.

Johnny Depp Promises His "Lone Ranger" Won't Be As … Racist
"I remember watching it as a kid, with Jay Silverheels and Clayton Moore, and going: 'Why is the f**king Lone Ranger telling Tonto what to do?' I liked Tonto, even at that tender age, and knew Tonto was getting the unpleasant end of the stick here. That's stuck with me. And when the idea came up [for the movie], I started thinking about Tonto and what could be done in my own small way try to — 'eliminate' isn't possible — but reinvent the relationship, to attempt to take some of the ugliness thrown on the Native Americans, not only in 'The Lone Ranger,' but the way Indians were treated throughout history of cinema, and turn it on its head."
—Johnny Depp talks about his reinterpretation of "The Lone Ranger," which will be directed by Gore Verbinski, the man behind the camera for the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series. The twist on the classic "Ranger" story? That Johnny, who is actually part Native American, will play Tonto, the lead role. The secondary role, The Lone Ranger, has yet to be cast but both Ryan Gosling and Armie Hammer have both been rumored for it. We say: yes! [Huffington Post]

Instruction and Outreach
Submitting an Instruction Request | Preparing Your Students (FAQs)
One of our highest priorities is to support research and teaching at the University of Oregon. In addition, our collections exist to be used. We are available to assist with and coordinate instruction in courses where students are encouraged to use primary sources such as manuscripts, archives, photographs, rare books, films, and ephemera. Our collections are full of these types of materials and present endless opportunities for discovery and original research.
We have a dedicated instruction classroom, the Ken Kesey Classroom, with state-of-the-art technology where our staff can present to your class on how to perform research using primary sources. In consultation with the professor, we can assemble and present collections on specific subject areas for such presentations.
Example: The image at right shows the first page of a letter written by Gertrude Bass Warner in 1924. Founder of the UO art museum, Mrs. Warner traveled widely in Asia and actively promoted multiculturalism, helping to establish the Asian Studies program here at the University of Oregon. Written in 1924, this letter narrates her adventures in Peking, when the city was caught between two Chinese armies. From this letter, we were able to identify half a dozen unlabeled lantern slides in the Warner collection, which turned out to be photographs she had taken as her refugee train crawled through the trenches to safety.
Submitting an Instruction Request
If you would like to schedule a Special Collections and University Archives instruction session or would like to consult with us in designing a research assignment or special project, please contact us by submitting a request via our Instruction Request Form (requests must be made at least three weeks in advance before the requested date of instruction).

Gothic 3 tweaks?
View Single Post
October 25th, 2006, 04:28
Well Adrian has been putting together the most extensive and factual tweaks since the mid 90's, iir when I the net started growing, at least thats when I first heard of him.
As with Toms Hardware in the early days if you wanted info on overclocking, upto date tech info on hardware, you went to Adrian for BIOS tweaks and such.
If you notice in the article that even the top Harddrive maker's tech gurus commented on this info agreeing and expanding on it, at time it was Western Digital whom ruled and they agreed with him.
It was just put out there to help people, whom almost all are experencing stuttering, and this does help.
Afaik tranfering data over a lan is different than measuring read write speeds, so maybe that is confusing part.

Jeff Humphrey, of KXLY4, reports the Airway Heights Police Department (WA) are using warrants, obtained through a judge of special inquiry, to seize businesses' assets in admitted attempts to kill businesses allegedly involved in prostitution–without bothering to bring charges, disclose evidence, or afford hearings:
Later this week, a pair of lawsuits filed against the Airway Heights Police Department will pull back the curtain on a secret investigation that targeted alleged prostitution rings in Spokane. The owners of two Asian spas raided last summer are demanding the return of thousands of dollars, seized during simultaneous raids.
Six months ago, the police raided Joe Jeans Oriental Spa on North Division, arresting 62-year old Yong Cha Kassim and seizing her black Mercedes. Now, she's heading back to Superior Court, hoping to get that car returned. A 14-month long investigation identified almost 200 women working as prostitutes in massage parlors, where investigators say there were no massage tables at all.
"Each of these spas were different," explained Airway Heights Police Chief Lee Bennett in July. "In talking with the undercover officers and our confidential informants, they all work about the same – where a customer will come in, pay a door fee. Once that door fee is paid, then depending on what type of service that customer wants the price goes from there."
Investigators say the spas were clearing $10,000 a month. When they searched the Oriental Spa owner's safety deposit box, they found $38,900 in $100 bills and another $20,000 in $50 bills.
Police seized the spas' assets in the hopes of putting them out of business.
"Well this is a cash-driven business and if they don't have cash, they're not going to reopen the doors," said Airway Heights Police Detective Kelly Justice at the time of the raids. "Because you have to pay for electricity. you have to pay for all the items that were seized as evidence. And, if you don't have the cash it makes it a lot harder for them to reopen."
Now, six months later, Oriental Spa North owner Chin Sim Day's attorney Carl Oreskovich claims his client still hasn't been made aware of the alleged evidence against her. That's because investigators used a judge of special inquiry, in this case Kathleen O'Connor. Up until now, any of the search warrants she authorized have been kept secret.
Thursday, Oreskovich will argue his motion for the return of Day's property. That will put prosecutors in the position of having to reveal their evidence, including having to release the names of the customers who patronized those spas. Jeff Humphrey, Asian spa owners demand details, seized property, KXLY4, 08 Jan. 2013.
Using seizure power to summarily inflict punishment on an alleged offender (no matter how guilty the police may believe the offender be), without first affording even rudimentary process protections, is repugnant and unreasonable. The concerted (and admitted) attempt to kill the business by starving it of assets before (if ever) bringing the case for independent review exacerbates the harm by eliminating the availability for process protections before punishment is substantially delivered.
Clearly, due process demands more.

Objectives: To use magnetoencephalography (MEG) to study the neural basis of abnormalities in sentence context effects in individuals with ASD.
Methods: 22 individuals with ASD and 22 typically developing (TD) adults participated in the study. Participants were matched on age, gender, and IQ. All measurements were taken at the Oxford Neurodevelopmental Magnetoencephalography Centre using a Neuromag-306 VectorViewTM system, providing a helmet-shaped array of 102 pairs of gradiometers. Participants read sentences ending either with a homonym (dominant vs. subordinate meanings) or an unambiguous word. The sentences were followed by a probe word that was semantically related or unrelated to the meaning of the sentence. Participants were asked to indicate whether the probe word was related or unrelated to the meaning of the sentence that it followed and to give their responses with a key press. This study has been approved by the local NHS (UK) Ethics Committee. All participants gave written informed consent before the experiment.
Results: At 100ms both TD and ASD groups show similar activity for all the probe word conditions except for the DHR (related probe word that follows a dominant homonym final word) condition in the ASD group which shows a stronger response over the occipital and posterior-parietal areas. The word response at 150ms is stronger over the left temporal areas in the TD group than in the ASD group, in all probe word conditions. Between 200-300ms both groups show bilateral activity over the temporal and occipital areas. At N4-like latencies, both TD and ASD groups show stronger responses to the unrelated probe words, with stronger activity observed over right temporo-parietal areas for the unrelated conditions in the ASD group.
Conclusions: These results suggest that the ASD group exhibit close to typical patterns for the evaluation of semantic relatedness at the 450ms latency. The initial stages of the probe word activity in ASD shows dissimilarities from the TD group, which may indicate the existence of different processing strategies.

Disney Fantasy Eastern Caribbean with Infant: Disney Fantasy Cruise Review by dismom79
Overall Member Rating
Disney Fantasy Eastern Caribbean with Infant
Destination: Eastern Caribbean
Embarkation: Port Canaveral (Orlando)
A few months ago, I decided I wanted a vacation, specifically a cruise vacation to someplace warm. The only other cruise I've been on was with Royal Caribbean in the Mediterranean about six years ago, so I kind of figured we'd go Royal Caribbean again. They have a new ship that sounded awesome: Oasis of the Seas.
Just for a laugh, I thought I'd research how much more a cruise on a Disney ship would be. Disney also has two new ships: the Dream and the Fantasy. To my surprise, all told, the Disney cruise wasn't really that much more expensive than Royal Caribbean. Since we never use the casino, that wasn't a big loss, and there were some extra amenities on the Disney ship that would make travel with More a 9-month-old a little easier (a great nursery, larger staterooms that would help accommodate a pack-n-play, bathtubs in the rooms to make bathing our princess much easier).
DH agreed, and we booked a cruise to the Eastern Caribbean on the Disney Fantasy, which is not even a year old. We went the first week in December, so we got the relatively new itinerary with San Juan, Puerto Rico as one of the ports of call.
We flew in the day the cruise left rather than spend an extra night in a hotel. Thoughts of dragging our tremendous amounts of luggage, and our daughter, from the airport to a hotel, then pack everything back up to drag it all back to the airport does not appeal to me. Disney's transportation option from the airport to the cruise terminal in Port Canaveral seemed like the easy option: we wouldn't have to lug our baggage around once we arrived in Orlando or worry with a one-way rental car or a car seat.
After snaking through a long line to check-in for the transportation, we then ended up waiting over half an hour to get on a bus to take us to the port. About the time we were waiting to load the bus we thought the rental car might have been a better idea. However, once we arrived at the cruise terminal, we didn't have to wait at all in any lines because we had checked-in for the cruise at the airport before getting on the bus. If we do this again, I'd be willing to shell out the money for Disney transportation just because we didn't have to deal with all of our luggage. Of course, the more kids in your party, the more expensive the Disney shuttle gets, so a one-way rental car may end up being cheaper in that case.
The ship is fabulous! I think much of it has to be because it's so new, but everything is clean and bright and beautiful. We were so happy with our stateroom. What a great idea to divide the bathrooms up into a shower/tub/sink room and a toilet/sink room!
Before we had our daughter, we would got a cheaper inside stateroom and would have always done that. We're the kind of people who spend all our waking moments out and about, enjoying the views and the activities. Now that we have a 9-month-old, I can say that having a room with a veranda was the way to go. Not only did DD enjoy being out on the veranda (always with our supervision, of course), but we also enjoyed having the view and outdoor space since we spent much more time in the stateroom with our child than we would have otherwise (naps, nursing, taking longer for everybody to get ready in the morning or before dinner).
Guests are free to smoke on their verandas and whether you have a smoker near your stateroom is luck (or unluck) of the draw. Our neighbors were apparently chain smokers and there were very few times when we went outside that they weren't also out there smoking. However, we knew we were taking this chance when we booked a room with a veranda, and there were still several times that DD could go out and crawl around on the veranda without the smoke.
Disney provided a pack-n-play, a diaper genie, and distilled water for DD's bottles. There is so much storage space in the stateroom on this ship! We were so surprised. Even with a 9-month-old, we didn't use every drawer. I can see how there would easily be enough space for storage in this room even with two or three kiddos. It definitely helps that the bed is high enough to store luggage, snorkel gear, or any other bigger items you might have.
I read so many people's criticisms of the food on Disney ships, including the Fantasy, that I really lowered my expectations before we left on this cruise. I love to cook and am often disappointed in restaurant food anyway, so I figured as long as it was edible and I didn't have to cook it or clean it up I was going to be extremely grateful.
The food was fabulous! It helped that we had a head server who really told us the best things to order for each course. One night, one of our tablemates ordered an appetizer and he told her he wouldn't order that and offered her another suggestion. Every time I asked him which entree I should get, I was very pleased it. Even the lunch buffet at Cabanas had at least one really tasty selection every day.
Another thing I heard about the dining on the Fantasy was that dinner takes forever. While it is longer than we usually spend eating, it definitely wouldn't have made us late to any of the evening shows. We had main seating, which worked so well with a 9-month-old! We usually made it to dinner a bit after 5:45 and were done by 7:15 or 7:30. Our DD takes a bottle before she eats her baby food, so I would feed her the bottle while looking over the menu and ordering. Sometimes DH and I had to take turns eating our appetizers while giving her the bottle. Then for the rest of the meal, she would sit in her high chair and eat with us.
The first night at dinner, our server had the kitchen puree veggies for DD and asked if we'd like him to do that every night. We took him up on it, although some nights DD like the puree better than other nights. (You could have them puree anything you want from the menu.) I brought along baby food that I knew she'd eat, so there was always a back-up. They provide a lot of puree, so I brought some take-n-toss containers to keep the leftovers in and use for lunch the following day.
We had the best tablemates ever! It was our little family and another family of three whose little girl was a few months older than our DD. They actually were in a stateroom just a few doors down from us! We got along so well that our conversation and feeding the girls is probably what made dinner seem to pass at a good pace.
DD is not as good away from us in the evening, so almost every evening she just ate dinner with us and was fine either taking her bottle or sitting/eating in her high chair. Both the girls at the table seemed to be ready to go about the same time, but it was usually just about the time we were finishing up dessert anyway.
Eating with her at the buffets for lunch worked out well as long as DH and I just took turns getting our food, eating, and feeding DD. We mostly utilized the "It's a Small World Nursery" during the day. On sea days, DD went to the nursery as soon as it opened for a few hours so most of our breakfasts were just us two adults unless DH got ready early and brought up a plate of food for us to eat in the stateroom while we got ready. Both ways, it all worked out nicely.
One morning we ate at the Royal Court, which I do not recommend if you have young kids. It seemed that all the hot food was taking forever to get out to the tables. It took way longer to eat breakfast than we would have liked. The coconut muffins they have for breakfast there are amazing, but I would skip the pancakes/waffles/French toast. A couple times we ate at the Enchanted Garden buffet, which is much less crowded than going up to Cabanas for breakfast. The buffets are adequate, and you can find good things to eat.
We got reservations the last evening of the cruise for dinner at Palo. The nursery workers really do a great job at not interrupting you if they know you're eating at Palo or Remy. When we went to pick DD up after dinner, we were pleasantly surprised that, although she hadn't eaten anything, they were able to get her to sleep. They even looked to see if there was room for her to stay longer since she was sleeping, but it turned out they were booked the rest of the evening.
Back to Palo. The food is amazing. As I said before, I really thought almost all the food on the cruise was fantastic, so this was just a notch above. We didn't have a choice when I booked our reservations, but I would not recommend leaving Palo (or Remy) for the last evening. By the end of the week, we were both kind of full and just tired of eating. Even though our meal was great, I did not finish anything. We also kind of missed our last evening eating with our tablemates since we really had made friends with them by then. I think night 2 or 3 would be ideal for dinner at Palo.
My DH is the kind of guy who refuses to pay for an excursion. It's kind of a game to him to figure out how we can do things on our own for cheaper. Since we've traveled plenty, I have confidence in him by now! Plus, the excursion options if you want to take your infant with you are pretty limited.
I think I mentioned this earlier, but we did not bring a car seat with us. Honestly, most of the taxis readily available in St. Thomas and St. John do not even have the means to attach a car seat in them. San Juan has regular car/minivan taxis, so if you wanted to haul a car seat with you, I'm sure some drivers would wait for you to install it for your taxi ride. We just put DD in an Ergo carrier when we were on the buses/open air taxis/taxis...and prayed for her safety. It was all fine.
On the advice of my parents and some friends, we decided to spend our St. Thomas day on St. John. I wanted to go to the beach (DD's first beach experience!), and DH figured out how to make it happen. Trunk Bay on St. John is the most popular beach, so it could be crowded, however it is also the beach with bathroom and shower facilities, a food stand, and umbrellas for rent. We thought all those amenities might be helpful with a 9-month-old.
We were some of the first off the ship. Somehow we made our way off with a group of people who were all lining up along the pier (we assumed to get through the customs officials). Then DH noticed Disney cast members taking papers from everybody in line ahead of us. We pulled another cast member over to ask what we were in line for: the champagne catamaran tour. Um. Yeah, guess that's not one of the excursions we're allowed on with a 9-month-old!
So, that only set us back a few minutes. The taxis are all right there by the dock, and lots of people are generally going to the Red Hook ferry to go to St. John, so we hardly waited at all before our full taxi was headed to the ferry. I think since DD was in a carrier the entire time, none of the taxi drivers charged us anything for her ride. The ferry over to St. John and back does require a ticket for everyone, but I'm pretty sure DD's ticket was a reduced price.
I'm not sure how long the ferry ride is since DD spent the entire trip screaming her head off...I think she had gotten sunscreen in her little eyes. Anyway, the screaming made it seem about eight hours, but I'm pretty sure it's closer to 25 or 30 minutes.
Once in St. John, the taxis are, again, right there by the dock. So, you just ask for a taxi going to Trunk Bay. We were lucky to be the last to fill our taxi, so we didn't have to wait at all. The taxi drivers will stop at an overlook of Trunk Bay for a photo op. The ride is probably 20 minutes.
Getting off the ship early was not a problem for us since DD wakes up so early, and really it wasn't crowded at all when we got to Trunk Bay! We stayed from about 10 to 2, took turns doing some snorkeling, had fun watching DD play in the sand, got some food at the food stand (I brought a bottle and baby food in our bag for DD), played some more, then rinsed off and got a taxi in the parking lot back to the ferry. DD took several naps during our cruise up on DH's shoulders! It's so funny how she just slumps over and can sleep up there for half an hour! This happened while we walked up and down the beach at Trunk Bay.
Unfortunately, our taxi driver must have thought we were leaving with some Holland America excursion group or something and took us to a ferry dock that was going back to a different place on St. Thomas. Just be sure you specify you need a ferry going back to Red Hook. Even though we got dropped off at the wrong dock, we only had to walk 5 minutes down the road to get to the correct ferry.
St. John is absolutely beautiful, and we had a really fun time at Trunk Bay, so I don't feel any regret about missing St. Thomas. And to sum up the transportation: taxi to Red Hook ferry, ferry ride, taxi to Trunk Bay, then back again. It does take time to do the transportation, but you also get to see some beautiful scenery. I say do it if you can enjoy the ride!
Since we did the beach in St. John and knew we were going to do the beach again on Castaway Cay, we decided to spend our day in Puerto Rico in El Yunque, the rainforest. We rented a car from Charlie Car Rental, which worked out pretty well even though we couldn't get them to come pick us up at the port like they had promised. When we called in the morning, they asked at which pier we were docked. We didn't know, so told them we'd find out and call back, but when we tried to call back (repeatedly for 20 minutes) no one answered the phone! We had the address for Charlie's and ended up taking a taxi to their office. This must be a somewhat regular occurrence because they reimbursed us for our taxi with no problem. They had car seats available for the rental cars, so that was a plus. We rented a small SUV (a Jeep), and having the back area was great for diaper changes and letting DD crawl around a little bit.
It's about a 45 minute drive to El Yunque from San Juan, and the rainforest is beautiful!!! We made a few scenic stops (Yokahu Tower and La Coca Falls) and went on one hike (Big Tree Trail to La Mina Falls). The U.S. National Forest website has info on all the hiking trails in El Yunque. Appropriately for a rain forest, it rained while we were on Big Tree Trail, so it's a good idea to bring a rain coat if you're planning to hike around in El Yunque. DD was strapped into her Ergo carrier, which has a little sun shade/rain cover that snaps over her. She stayed dry and got a nice nap on the way back to the parking lot from the falls. A bit further up the road from the Big Tree Trail trailhead is a little restaurant called Yuquiyu that has great hamburgers, quesadillas, and several authentic Puerto Rican items on the menu. I believe there's an ad for Yuquiyu in the Big Tree Trail parking lot. We stopped there for lunch and had some nice conversations with other visitors while eating on their covered patio.
Originally we thought we might stop at Luquillo Beach on the way back, but we were all tired after getting in and out of the car and hiking a little bit in the rain, so we just headed back to the rental car place. They took us back to the pier right where the ship was, which is probably less than a ten-minute drive.
Renting a car is also great if you happen to need anything from a Walgreens or Walmart (especially with kids, you never know what you may run out of or lose by mid-week of the cruise). A GPS would come in handy if you're looking for a specific store. We made a quick Walgreens stop on our way to El Yunque because we happened to notice one on the road we were traveling. I really loved the beauty of El Yunque, but I know there is so much to do and see in San Juan as well. Puerto Rico is definitely a place where we could vacation for a week; maybe someday we will!
We didn't want to leave DD in the nursery all day, so we just put her in for a few hours in the morning. That gave us time to have some breakfast and then go to the adult beach on the island for a little while. It was hard to think of the last time I sat in a chair in the sun and did absolutely nothing! After we picked DD up from the nursery, DH and I took turns riding the Aquaduck several times since there was absolutely no one up there! Then we headed onto the island to have lunch at Cookie's. I actually thought the chicken and ribs were great!
There's a splash park on Castaway Cay, but I thought the water was a little cold, so after lunch we just headed to the family beach where we ran into our tablemates and spent an hour or so hanging out with them, watching our girls play in the sand. It was just enough sand, sun and water for DD before she reached her exhaustion point. She actually fell asleep on DH's shoulders on the way back to the ship and he just continued walking around the ship with her while I got cleaned up so she could just finish her nap.
Two of the sea days, the big evening show was performed an extra time during the afternoon at 3:00. This was fantastic for us! We never made it to an evening show, but we got to see those two afternoon shows ("Aladdin" and "Believe"). Disney sure has the best ship entertainment out there!
We took DD in because she loves music and dancing, and she did pretty well. We sat right near the front, but over to one of the sides where not many others were sitting. If she got too squirmy, I let her crawl around in the empty side aisle or one of us would walk up and down the side aisle or up to the back of the theater with her. I read that some people would take their infants and let them fall asleep during the shows, or take a nursing cover to nurse them if it was time for that. Unfortunately, our DD is too squirmy to stay under a nursing cover anymore and has an extremely hard time falling asleep if anything more exciting is going on. If you get to the theater five or ten minutes late, that is actually right about when the show will start and it seems like they'll let you in the theater at any time.
I read some helpful tips on these boards and others before we left. Someone mentioned bringing little Ziploc bags of candy to give to the people who work in the kids clubs and guest services. We had a ton of leftover Halloween candy, so I brought a bunch of that and gave a bagful of it to the nursery workers every time we picked DD up from the nursery. They loved it! I imagine being stuck on the ship for so many months, with not much away time, they don't get much "outside" food...definitely not regular candy.
I brought one of those hanging shoe racks with about ten different compartments to hang in one of the closets. It was great for some of our clothes, DD's things, sunscreen, sunhats, etc. It really made use of the space well. I also brought along some clothespins , which came in handy a few times. We used them on the clotheslines in the bathroom, to pin things to the chairs on the verandah to dry quicker, and to keep the curtains closed completely since we all like it pitch dark when we sleep.
We brought all of our own diapers with us. There is a service you can order diapers and wipes from to have delivered directly to your stateroom: http://www.babiestravellite.com/ct01-diapers.html
I just brought a few large size flannel lap pads to use for a changing pad.
We did not bring a stroller. I think most strollers would actually fold up and fit under the bed in the staterooms, but then you also will want to put your luggage under there so whether everything would fit depends on how many bags you travel with! With just our DD, we did not ever have a need for a stroller. I read that you can borrow a stroller from Guest Services on port days. On the ship, with all the steps and other people moving around, I think it might be hard to maneuver a stroller. Most of the time, we just carried DD around the ship, and I don't really remember noticing many strollers. I saw a few umbrella strollers.
I didn't expect there to really be any shipboard activities suitable for infants, but leave it to Disney to think of something for everyone.
OK. Well, maybe the Diaper Dash they held on a couple of the sea days was more for the entertainment of mom and dad and other adults, but it was an activity only infants would be eligible for! The Diaper Dash is a crawling "race" held in the main lobby. DD was definitely the underdog the day we took part since the other babies who entered were like three to five months older than she was! She lost, but it was fun and all the babies who took part got a free Disney Cruise Line bib (free souvenir!). Plus, for the rest of the cruise we had random people coming up to talk to us because they had seen DD in the Diaper Dash!
Also, you can look in your navigator for the little Disney Kids dance party in the D Lounge that takes place some mornings. (I forget what the real name of it is.) DD was always already in the nursery when that went on, but if your child likes music and is available at that time I think it looks like a fun thing to go do. Less

Thanks, I think it will be a lot of fun for sure. I road race and go to High Plains all the time, I like to do a little bit of everything. I know what the BMW is good for, no need to worry about that :-)
I am not so sure on the
, I know the suspension was designed for run flats, but the side-wall of these
are so small and stiff, I really think the difference will be very minimal and everything that I read from guys that actually left the run flats behind was positive. This is a very good stiff side-wall tire and being a little less positive in the rear will be exactly what I am trying to do.
Making the car stiffer is not always the right thing to do for proper handling in the corners while playing or racing at the track. Many times you actually want to make the car a little less stiff, would rather have the car push a little and under-steer than be positive and over-steer.
Will be testing all kinds of things, been tuning and racing cars for a long time, this is a new chapter starting with BMW, but I know its going to be a lot of fun and I can't wait to find out what this 135i can do at the track. I will see what it can do at the drag strip just for fun, but the real testing will be at High Plains where I can really let the 135i show its true handling characteristics.

Pasadena CA (JPL) May 24, 2013
NASA's Mars rover Curiosity has used the drill on its robotic arm to collect a powdered sample from the interior of a rock called "Cumberland."
Plans call for delivering portions of the sample in coming days to laboratory instruments inside the rover. This is only the second time that a sample has been collected from inside a rock on Mars.
The first was Curiosity's drilling at a target called "John Klein" three months ago. Cumberland resembles John Klein and lies about nine feet (2.75 meters) farther west. Both are within a shallow depression called "Yellowknife Bay."
The hole that Curiosity drilled into Cumberland on May 19 is about 0.6 inch (1.6 centimeters) in diameter and about 2.6 inches (6.6 centimeters) deep.
The science team expects to use analysis of material from Cumberland to check findings from John Klein. Preliminary findings from analysis of John Klein rock powder by Curiosity's onboard laboratory instruments indicate that the location long ago had environmental conditions favorable for microbial life.
The favorable conditions included the key elemental ingredients for life, an energy gradient that could be exploited by microbes, and water that was not harshly acidic or briny.
NASA's Mars Science Laboratory Project is using Curiosity to assess the history of habitable environmental conditions inside Gale Crater. After a few more high-priority observations by the rover within and near Yellowknife Bay, the rover team plans to start Curiosity on a months-long trek to the base of a layered mound, Mount Sharp, at the middle of the crater.

text: Does anyone have experience with the MTO offerings of the major SR houses? I have some old overcoating lying around that I'd like to have made up. I don't care enough for the cloth to get it made bespoke, but figure that an MTO offering w/ a fitting from a SR house may work well (straight seams, not much styling required etc.). Am I on to something, or are most of these just an MTM product coming out of some random factory in China?

Step 1: Mark the length
Step 2: Get the spacing right
Step 3: Check the fit, then cut to length
Step 4: Glue and pin for a solid miter
Step 5: Trim the other side
Step 6: Fit the first bottom miter
Step 7: Fit the opposite miter
Step 8: Scribe for length
Dealing with problem drywall
Projects less than 1/8 in.
If the drywall projects past the jamb 1/8 In. or less, and is close to the window jamb, just chamfer the edge with a utility knife. Check to see if you've pared off enough drywall by holding a chunk of trim against the drywall and jamb. If it rocks and won't sit flush against both surfaces, carve out some more.
Drywall too low
If the drywall's recessed behind the jamb, don't nail the trim to the framing at first. Only nail it to the jamb and pin the mitered corners together. After the window is trimmed, slide shims behind each nail location to hold out the trim while nailing, then cut off the shims. Caulk the perimeter of the trim to eliminate gaps before painting.
If you have drywall that's "proud" (sticking out past the jamb) or recessed behind the jamb, you have to deal with it before trimming or the trim won't lie flat. Here's what to do:
Avoiding Trim-induced Headaches
Here are a few tips to help you avoid a few trim hassles:
- Whenever you can, cut with the thick side of the trim against the miter saw fence. You'll be less likely to tear out the narrow tapered edge that way.
- Cutting right up to the pencil mark almost always leaves pieces too long, so remove the pencil line with the blade. You'll most likely still have to shave off more.
- Sneak up on cuts by starting long and dipping the saw blade into the wood while you work your way to the cutoff mark.
- Trim out the biggest windows first. That way, you can reuse miscuts for the smaller windows and not run out of material.
- When nailing 3/4-in.-thick trim, use 15-gauge 2-1/2-in. nails for the framing and 18-gauge 2-in. brads for nailing to the jamb.
- To prevent splitting, avoid nailing closer than 2 in. from the ends.

This is a summary of the third phase of a BSRIA research programme undertaken with the support of the Construction Sponsorship Directorate of the Department of the Environment and Industry, to produce and subsequently evaluate an environmental code of practice for buildings and their services. Phase I began in 1991 and involved hte production of an interim report - "Building Services and Environmental Issues - The Background" and the "Draft Code". Phase II took place in 1992/3 to test the application of the "Draft Code", and to update and modify it based on its trial implementation. BSRIA's "Environmental Code of Practice for Buildings and their Services" was published in 1994. Phase III, evaluation, led to the production of the case studies described in this report, and appraisals of the financial, environmental and qualitative implications of environmentally responsible building projects, at all stages of the building life cycle, including appraisal of recommendations made in the Code of Practice.The objective of the research is to identify approaches to reducing the adverse environmental impact of buildings, and to describe and, where possible, quantify actual and potential benefits. The research has highlighted the importance of feedback to the building design process on how good innovative ideas in theory work in practice, how decisions are made, and the value of using the Code of Practice. Background information is contained in a supplementary report. A follow-on project will produce further case studies, with the aim of improving the procedures for information retrieval by promoting formal feedback mechanisms, of keeping the industry informed of beneficial changes and potential hazards, and consolidating information as environmental and financial rules of thumb. A major objective is to improve uptake of the Code and the assessment methods it recommends by improving its accessibility to potential users. The "recommendation boxes", tinted grey, that appear in each case study are taken from the original BSRIA "Environmental Code of Practice for Buildings and their Services".

Class description
GEOMETRY AND ISLAMIC ARCHITECTURE: Geometry was always part of the process of designing and constructing buildings. In Islamic architecture the role of geometry is manifested in numerous ways, several of which will be examined in this course. We will review two-dimensional and three-dimensional uses of symmetry, geometry, pattern, and proportion systems. We will also examine specific architectural features such as the use of calligraphy, muqarnas, star ribbed domes, and surface decorations in Islamic buildings. Some attention will be given to cultural, philosophical, and technical aspects of the use of geometry in the built environment throughout the Islamic world, past and present.
