|All G.A. Henty's Books on 6 CDs
I understand why my 12-year-old son Matthew has been up so late reading each night for the past few monthsbecause I have been up late reading, too � from the same books! Actually, we are reading copies of the books printed from the CD-ROMs that the other children � Noah, Arynne, Bethany, and Joshua have been working to complete. We prefer the computer-printed books from our CD-ROMs because we print them in larger sizes that are easier to read than the originals.
It is easy to appreciate why these books were so popular in British and American schools during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Children learn by example, and the examples set by Henty's heroes are unsurpassed for their high moral character, diligence, perseverance, courage, and other outstanding personal characteristics.
And � each hero is at the center of fast-moving attention-holding adventures that capture the readers attention and will not let go. I actually fell behind with my professional work last week � reading a Henty book set during the 18th century French Revolution. Then I regaled my colleagues with some of the history I had learned. I doubt that I will finish writing this text this evening. The British, you see, are simultaneously winning a naval war with Holland and enduring the Great Plague � and are about to experience the Great Fire of London. Our hero is involved in fighting the Dutch and the Plague and has already rescued three damsels from a burning mansion. He needs my help to turn the pages, so that he can continue with his exploits. Matthew, I think, is off to the Crusades with Richard the Lion Hearted, but perhaps he is now invading Mexico with Cortez.
From the fall of Jerusalem to the American Civil War, the books of G. A. Henty are superb teaching aids for history, excellent character and vocabulary building tools,and � so much fun to read that children and adults alike have difficulty putting them down.
Read some excerpts from some of G.A. Henty's more popular books.

|Chattanooga Clarinet Society
|The music the Clarinet Society performs ranges from Classical to Jazz to Spiritual.
The Chattanooga Clarinet Society is a unique ensemble on the Chattanooga music scene. It was founded by Jay Craven, former principal clarinetist with the Chattanooga Symphony and Opera, in July 1998 after his retirement from the CSOA. Its purpose is to provide a venue for clarinetists to perform together as an ensemble. It is strictly a volunteer organization, and the only requirement for membership is that the players be competent on their instrument. Present membership runs the gauntlet from professional players in the symphony and surrounding colleges, to a physician, a lawyer, public school classroom teachers, college students, office and service employees, housewives, and retirees.
The Clarinet Society is a choir of clarinet "voices." There are 6 different kinds of clarinets, ranging from the tiny high-pitched Eb, to the regular Bb, the Eb Alto, the Bb Bass, the Eb Contra-Alto, and finally, the huge Bb Contra-Bass. The overall sound is much like hearing a reed organ. The repertoire ranges from pre-Bach to Jazz, from transcriptions of the masters to original compositions for the Clarinet Society.
Information on membership and/or performance availability can be obtained by contacting Nikolasa Tejero at: firstname.lastname@example.com.

ENGR325 Electronics II
Lab #2 – Diode Applications
· To see a number of circuit applications for diodes
· To get experience with using diodes to change waveforms
1. Design, build, and test a dc power supply that uses a 120V:12.6VCT transformer and a Zener diode (1N5231B) to regulate the output to 5.1V. The load is to vary from an open circuit (no load) to a value of 100Ω. The ac line voltage can vary from 110V to 120V. I would suggest allowing only 0.5Vpp of ripple before the regulator.
Follow these steps:
a. Calculate the peak value out of the transformer on each side of the center tap before the diodes (convert from rms to the peak value Vp).
b. Calculate the maximum value of the voltage Vm after the diodes have rectified it (subtract Vγ).
c. Calculate the maximum current to the load ILmax (when the load is 100Ω).
d. Calculate the maximum Zener current IZmax for the ½ W diode.
e. Calculate the minimum Zener current IZmin as 10% of the maximum IZmax (to keep away from the knee).
f. Get the value of filter capacitor C using the specified ripple voltage and the maximum total current of IZmin + ILmax.
g. Find the value of R using the minimum voltage drop across it and the maximum current through it ((Vm-Vr)-VZ)/(IZmin + ILmax). Determine the power this resistor must dissipate. Select a suitable standard resistor for R.
h. Build the circuit.
i. Set the input for 120Vrms. Measure the output voltage at no load and with the 100Ω attached. Check to be sure that the ripple voltage is less than 0.5Vpp as specified. Calculate the "load regulation" according to 100%*(VNL-VFL)/VNL.
j. Connect the 100Ω load. Measure the output voltage for an input of 110Vrms and for 120Vrms. Calculate the "source regulation" according to 100%*(Vout120-Vout110)/Vout120.
For your report give the design requirements, show your circuit and the calculations you did to determine its values, and report your test results.
2. Design a diode (1N4148) circuit that will accept a +10Vpp triangle wave as the input and produce these outputs:
a. A triangle waveform with the positive part removed.
b. A triangle waveform with the portion of the waveform above +4V removed.
c. A triangle waveform with the negative portion of the waveform just half the original amplitude.
d. A triangle waveform like the original but varying from 0 to 20Vp. Also, try a square wave.
For your report state the design requirement in each case, show the circuit you used to meet that requirement, and present a record or sketch of the output waveform you observed. Comment on your success at meeting the requirement.

Actually the DC resistance of inductors does not do as much as people say it does. In all the simulations I run using an inductor or 0.5ohm or 1.5 ohm really doesnt affect the frequency response thru the xover much at all.
The one thing it may do however is alter the bass response of the driver within the cabinet, although this shouldnt be major either.
If you are sure all the connections are correct then I can only assume you dont like the sound.
The scan and seas drivers used are very good quality and demand the best of partnering equipment, think $1000+ for the amp and source. You will not hear what they are capable of if you are lacking in this department.
What the hell are you screamin' for? Every five minutes there's a bomb or somethin'! I'm leavin! bzzzz! Now with website! www.5een.co.uk under construction.

I like the sound. I just thought it would be better considering how much i've spent on it.
yesterday i tried to unwind an inductor to a lower value since the value was .3mH off because it didn't come in the exact value.
I didn't notice any difference with the closer to spec inductor. In fact i took the inductor right out of the circuit and it sounded different but not noticeably worse or better just louder.
Some of my values for the xover are not exact but that shouldn't matter too much rite? I have 7.8uF instaed of 7.5, 1.22mH instead of 1.2mH.
Will all these lil values add up?

Of course they sing when paired with with better amplifier (ESP P3A amplifier or good valve amplifier). A better source gives an improvement too, but I can still enjoy then with an discman, the el-cheapo DVD player, and even random bitrate .mp3 music that friends bring over to audition. In fact, even these mp3 sound so much better friends are impressed.
I didn't want to say this before, but perhaps 5th Element may be onto something:
"Incredible bass and and crispy treble" are the hallmarks of his speaker system. I've gone through my fair share of computer speakers so I'm not fooled easily, but I think this tonal balance can be immediately impressive.
One day I decided to measure his speakers (nearfield, test semi-tones sine waves). There's extremely elevated mid and upper bass (esp. 80-120Hz, with 120Hz about twice as loud as 80Hz! But steep rollof under 60Hz, rising upper treble, but lacking top octave (10+ KHz extension). A total exaggeration of neutral or natural music reproduction.
After completing my own speaker "TroelAc 2.95" (SS 18W/8535 + D2905/9500), I invited him over for a listen. IIRC he thought they were "quite nice, really good DIY speakers"
But, I'm not so certain he thinks they're better than his speakers.
However it did renew confidence of his Z680 purchase. 'bargain because it's 5.1 channels, more bass sound and has Dolby and DTS too!' Or something to that effect.
On the other hand, if given a set of those computer speakers, I'd promptly sell them, pocket the money or order a nice new pair of SS or Excel tweeters for the next DIY project
Now my partner and another close friend, have the standard CDplayer/tape/tuner/amplifier+2 matching speakers all-in-one typical of many Australian households.
These systems don't have any spectular attributes, with IMHO errors of ommision rather than commission. Now they both think the TroelAc 2.95 is utterly amazing and "a different class". They all start querying "how much?!" and beg for me build to them a pair.
Both are musically trained, listen to all sorts of music, and spend more money on concerts/live gigs than me, who loves visiting records store or buying CDs.
AFAIK their ears aren't any better from your average Joe, but their ears are not conditioned to systems with exaggerated tonal balance.
Their reference is live music, whether it be non-amplified or amplified.
In short, perhaps nOOSE needs a longer listen before judging,
A/B comparisons with Logitechs might be misleading him to judgments of the Ellas.

I've been listening to them for the past week and they do sound incredibly clear at loud volumes and the vocals and nice and the bass is excellent. Goes really low.
I think my orignal post was a lil exaggerated and they are better than my logitechs.
I think i just expected soo much from them. Seeing as they are ten times more than my logitechs.
One thing is that the tweeter is quite harsh esp at louder volumes. Quite overpowering and the vocals could be ..what's that word...more prominant?? seems to be that it should be more out there.
gee i hope i'm making sense.
Any one have any ideas on how to fix these problems.
Remember i'm a complete noob at this and laymens terms is preferred.
Thanks in advance.

If your amp is clipping and some could better answer with higher order harmonic distortion and other amplifier overdrive symptoms I can't explain... could explain why the tweeter becomes harsh.
A good quality 100watt SS amp will push 100watt speakers very nicely. The same 100 watt speakers can sound strained, compressed esp. in the treble with a lower quality and output (eg. 40 watt) amp. You probably already know it is better to have too much quality power than too little. Powerful amps rattle woofers, weaker amps blow tweeters.
I didn't realise how important amplification was until I switched.... even then I want better.

A lot this this is what you like and are used to. Most people on this board will strive for tonal neutrality and even knowing what that is can be difficult in the first place. But some people like the logitech approach because its what they are used to and enjoy. I bought a pair of sub/sat logitech 2.1 speakers for someone and the first thing I did what open up foobar on their computer enable the parametric equaliser and EQ out the 120hz bump and the bump in the midrange. To my ears that was much more pleasent.
With regards to amplifiers, I know that even if you exchanged a pair of OK speakers to excellent speakers on budget amp and source you will still get an improvement.
Ive said this a few times, but I had a Quad77 integrated amp which was/is a good sounding $1000 amp. I built my slone clone and I was amazed.
If you have OK amplifiers you will get nice sounds from your DIY speakers, upgrade and you will get magic.

Slone clone?
5th Element,
Your thoughts echo mine exactly. I think that was what I was trying to say in the previous post, but I did it in a long-winded and confusing way.
Now I don't want to hi-jack this thread, but I did a quick search for 'slone clone' and 0 hits.
Can you tell us more about this amp?

Maria Menounos: Blue Bikini Beautiful!
Back on the beach for another day of fun in the sun, Maria Menounos turned heads as she romped along the Miami Beach shoreline on Friday (December 30).
The 33-year-old TV personality showed off her fab figure in a light blue bikini while wading in the Atlantic Ocean waters to play ball with her boyfriend, Keven Undergaro, and a few friends.
Tweeting about the sunshine state excitement, Miss Menounos wrote, "@undergaro and I had a great day on the beach!!!"
Quite pleased with her current situation, Maria recently dished about her latest relationship with Undergaro in an interview with Self magazine, as she boasted, "We make such a good team. Everyone needs a champion. We work great together, and I learned that from my parents. My parents have done everything together."
Enjoy the pictures of Maria Menounos taking a dip in the ocean while hanging out with friends on the beach in Miami, FL (December 30).

From the author of "A Million Nightingales" ("a writer of exceptional gifts and grace"--Joyce Carol Oates) comes a luminous new novel about the forces that tear families apart and the ties that bind them together.
Fantine Antoine is a travel writer, a profession that keeps her happily away from her Southern California home. When she returns to mark the fifth anniversary of the murder of her closest childhood friend, Glorette, she finds herself pulled into the tumultuous life of Glorette's twenty-two-year-old son--and Fantine's godson--Victor. After getting involved in a shooting, Victor has fled to New Orleans. Together with her father, Fantine follows Victor, determined to help him avoid the criminal future that he suddenly seems destined for.
Fantine's own fate will be altered on this journey as well: her father will reveal the wrenching secrets of his past, and she will be compelled to question the most essential choices she's made in her life. As they cross from California to the heart of Louisiana, all three characters will come face-to-face with the issues of race that beset them: Fantine, whose light skin has allowed her a kind of invisibility; her father, who grew up in the Jim Crow South and has tried to guard his family against that world; and Victor, whose fall into violence mirrors the path of so many other young black men. For Fantine, finding Victor could offer them both a way to face the past and decide between different futures.
Powerful and moving, "Take One Candle Light a Room" illuminates the intricacies of human connection and the ways in which we find a place for ourselves within our families and the world.

There's no place like home.
For Steven Minning, a 1971 graduate of Washington High School who has gone on to direct stage productions of shows like "The Lion King" in cities all over the world and is now is St. Louis preparing to direct The Muny's season opener, "Billy Elliot, the Musical," that's more than just a trite saying. It's a warm truth.
There is something special about being surrounded by your roots, Minning told The Missourian, sitting in the lobby of his St. Louis hotel. He feels more relaxed here.
"I don't feel the pressure of having to produce," Minning commented. "It's work, but I feel very supported by the administration here, where I've come from. This just feels great to be back home."
Making the experience even better is that he's directing one of his favorite shows and one with which he is long familiar, having been the resident director for the National Broadway Tour of the 2009 Tony Award winning musical.
Minning's resume includes numerous other high profile roles:
• Assistant managing director for the Off-Broadway Sanctuary Theatre Company's inaugural production of "Hamlet" starring Rip Torn and Geraldine Page
• Dancing in the original Broadway production of "42nd Street" and the first Broadway revival of "Fiddler on the Roof."
• Choreographic associate to Tommy Tune on "The Will Rogers Follies."
• Staging the Coca-Cola 1994 Olympic reception starring Celine Dion.
• Directing the World Cup Opening Ceremonies featuring Liza Minnelli and the B52s.
• Resident director for numerous companies of "Showboat," directed by Harold Prince and choreographed by Susan Stroman.
• Resident, supervising and associate director for international and national companies of Disney's "The Lion King," directed by Julie Taymor.
• Artistic director for Cirque du Soleil's Asia Pacific tour of "Dralion."
Pressed to pick a favorite show of his career, Minning put "Billy Elliot" at the top.
"It's a fine piece of theater put together, " he said. "It's just so layered. There's a lot to it."
Based on a movie by the same name, "Billy Elliot" tells the story of a young boy living in the north of England and his struggles growing up in a social climate that is very unsettled.
"He stumbles into a ballet class," said Minning. "He was in a boxing class at the community center . . . and he literally gets caught up in it, and it's interesting because he's looking for a place to fit in. He comes from somewhat of a broken family, and there's no one who's really paying that much attention to him."
His mother has passed away, his father and brother are very involved in a strike that has broken out, and his grandmother is a bit dotty. But something in the ballet class speaks to him.
"So it's about finding your place in life," said Minning. "I think it speaks to all of us on a much larger level. It's that story of real human success and soaring."
The music is by Elton John
"It doesn't get any better," Minning remarked. "I think it's a wonderful show."
One of the unique aspects of "Billy Elliot" is that so much of the show depends on one boy, the main character, who is usually a boy between the ages of 11 to 14 years old.
"They have to be extraordinary," said Minning, noting in the tours, he had four boys who alternated shows. "They are fine athletes. They can sing, do tap and ballet. They are really amazing, these kids."
Eleven-year-old Tade Biesinger, who will portray Billy in The Muny production next week, performed the role of Fritz in Ballet West's "Nutcracker." At age 9, he won the title of National Mini Outstanding Dancer for West Coast Dance Explosion and was the National Male Mini Dancer for the New York City Dance Alliance at age 10.
He made his Broadway debut in "Billy Elliot" playing the title character. He also performed the role of Billy on London's West End.
Minning auditioned all the people who will be in the show at The Muny. Many of them were in the Broadway show or the national tours, and he called them to see if they were available because they were already familiar with the show.
" 'Billy Elliot' is very detail oriented," said Minning. "It was first a movie, so it's directed like a movie. There's a lot of detail in it, and to get all that detail in is the challenge for the week.
"So if we could get people who had done it before, and who were successful, they know already a lot of those details. Then it's just about putting it into a different scenario because our set is different here. The blocking, the staging, there will be some different conceptual things because it's The Muny versus a black box or The Fox or somewhere else."
The Muny production of "Billy Elliot, The Musical" runs June 16-22.
His First Was a 'Tent Show' in Washington
Long before Minning, son of the late William and June Minning, ever thought about having a career in theater, he put on "a tent show" for the neighborhood kids. On his website, www.stevenminning.com, he recalls that experience:
"My circuitous route to New York began when I threw my father's heavy painted-stained tarpaulin over the backyard swing set and captured a lightning bug in the mason jar . . . with holes punched in the lid.
"I charged my neighbors 2 cents to view my wonder and my 'act' was an immediate sensation. I had to expand! But how to top the lightning bugs? One afternoon, my next door neighbor showed me the backbend she learned in acrobatic class earlier that week. That was it! The fact that the human body could be made to perform such a feat was a marvel that I was convinced everyone had to see."
Minning guesses he was about 8 or 9 years old at the time, an age when for kids, "anything can be anything.
"That's what's great about it," he said. "You haven't learned the rules of what you can't do. I don't even think my parents were aware of it. I was just doing it in the backyard."
In high school, Minning began to fine-tune his theatrical chops, portraying characters like Og the leprechaun in "Finian's Rainbow."
After graduation, he went on to earn a bachelor's degree in theater from Central Methodist University in Fayette and had plans to start a teaching career.
"I thought that's what you did — you went and taught," said Minning, who taught one year at the high school in Potosi. "But I didn't really enjoy it. I was too young."
He didn't feel like he had enough acting and theater experience himself to be teaching it to others, Minning explained.
"I realized I needed to be out in the world doing theater. Teaching could wait."
So he enrolled at Emporia State University in Kansas to work on his master's in theater with a focus on directing.
And, while Kansas may not seem such a likely place to launch a theatrical career, it's where things really started to happen for Minning, beginning with a job at a dinner theater in Wichita, Kan.
"I saw an ad in the Wichita paper saying that a new dinner theater was opening up and they were looking for performers," Minning recalled. "I went down to the audition, got the job, there were six of us. It was pretty crazy. It was absolutely insane because the guy who owned the Crown Uptown Dinner Theater, which was this magnificent old restored theater, he bought it and was turning it back to a live theater, but he was way behind. Opening day was coming, and it was a mess.
"So the six of us pulled together a show. Basically we would do these melodramas and Broadway review-type things," said Minning.
The company that catered the dinner theater also catered other jobs and approached Minning about providing theatrical entertainment for those as well. He agreed and created an entertainment troupe called Backstage out of Wichita, Kan.
"We had nice little shows. I hired people from New York, brought them in and housed them. We did it for about two years," said Minning, who created, directed and also performed in the shows.
A Dancer Too, Briefly
As a child growing up in Washington, Minning took dance lessons from Gloria Uhrmann.
"I can remember being in her basement, across from the VFW, she had lots of dance classes that she taught," said Minning.
As a child, he didn't stick with dancing, but he picked it up again in college, and the year that he taught in Potosi, Minning came into St. Louis for dance classes. He continued with them during graduate school.
"But it was when I went to Kansas that I really got involved with this ballet company, and I was just really lucky because the ballet master, I think he needed more guys in the company, and he saw that I had potential, so he really worked me," said Minning. "For two years, I worked really hard. I was in ballet class by 8 a.m. and in it all day.
"It gave me a really strong foundation. It was late, but I didn't go into it to be a professional ballet dancer."
Over the years, dance fell by the wayside for Minning, but looking back, he can see it played a big role in developing his career.
"That's what helped when I got to New York," he said. "I would audition as a performer, and I got in shows. And that's how I first started working here at The Muny Opera. I did like five seasons at The Muny as a dancer in the early '80s."
He lived in New York City, but stayed in St. Louis for the summer for the Muny season. Over the five years, Minning was in about 30 shows at The Muny as a member of the resident company.
Minning had moved to New York after two or three years working professionally in Kansas.
"I just knew that's where I needed to go," he said.
For someone growing up in the Midwest who wants to have a professional career in theater, the timing of when to make the move to New York is a personal one, said Minning.
"I just kept following the opportunities that were in front of me, and those were not necessarily New York," he said. "If I had to do it over again, I probably would do it the same because I thought it was a nice segue.
"I say to people today if they are going to go into theater and if they're from the Midwest especially, I would suggest they go to Chicago first, because Chicago's got a great theater scene."
'There's Nothing Like The Muny
Being back at The Muny is "very nostalgic" for Minning, and not just because of his work there in the '80s, but because he can remember coming to shows here as a child with his family.
"It's something as a kid, you always looked forward to," said Minning. "I can remember coming down with Mom to see 'Bells Are Ringing' starring Harry Belafonte. I just remember looking at the program and thinkging, 'Wow! This is major.' "
As a venue, The Muny is impressive for its size and the fact that it's an outdoor stage with seats for some 8,000 people. It is recognized as "America's oldest and largest outdoor musical theater."
"There's something about performing outdoors that's great," said Minning. "You can look up at the sky, see the stars, and you know that people are just really enjoying themselves.
"If you go out on that stage and look at all those seats, that's an amazing thing to look out on 8,000 seats full of people. It's quite exhilarating.
"You really get a sense of community with the people who come," he added. "You are doing it in one week stock. It's an amazing deadline to try to hit . . . Yeah, there's nothing like The Muny.
Dealing with the threat of rain and St. Louis' signature heat and humidity is always tricky, but that comes with the territory.
"You just deal with it," said Minning. "You have to love doing it. No one is making you. You do it because you love it.
"I did like three 'Fiddlers' here. It's based in Russia. It's heavy coats, wool, in 100-degree temperatures. It was crazy," said Minning. "You lose a lot of weight."
Teaching in California
In addition to his work as a professional director, Minning this past year began working as an upper school drama teacher at Menlo School in California's Silicon Valley.
"I decided to do it, because I decided it was time to start giving back," he said. "When I first went into teaching I felt like I needed to go out and do it first. Well I feel like I have gone out and done it, so now I can share that information.
"And an opportunity made itself available. I almost tripped over the opportunity, and I thought, why not? It's been great. I have a beautiful, new creative arts and design center and a very strong and supportive administration."
Minning and his students put up three shows this year:
"Little Shop of Horrors," "Our Town" and "The Pirates of Penzance," which they did outside.
Minning has already signed a contract to teach again at Menlo next year, but that won't prevent him from any theater work that comes his way. The school wants him to continue to work as a professional director, he said.
Ready to Hang Out at Lions Lake
Wearing a St. Louis Blues T-shirt that reminded him of his parents — Minning's mom was a big fan, and his dad used to do some work for a man who once owned the Blues — Minning said he's looking forward to visiting his cousins and extended family in Washington next week once "Billy Elliot" wraps up at The Muny.
"Washington's a great area. I'm very fortunate to have lived there," he said. "My roots are still there.
"I can't wait to finish this and go home for like a week and a half, to go to Lions Lake and just hang out."

Usually, the complaint from state agencies is that they don't have enough money. But in some cases they may have too much.
As of September 2011, the Secretary of State's office held about $13 million in federal Help America Vote Act (HAVA) funds, which must be directed broadly toward improving Vermont's federal elections.
First passed in October 2002, HAVA demanded an overhaul of elections law and systems nationwide, partly in reaction to the controversial presidential election in 2000, where ballot problems in some states led to the elimination of 2 million votes, according to an analysis by National Geographic.
Remarkably, Vermont spent just 4.77 percent of one of two HAVA funds between 2002 and 2010, or $664,941 – less than a third of the $2.3 million interest earned on that fund over the same period, according to a report published by the federal Elections Assistance Commission.
No other state has spent less than 20 percent of its funds in the same timeframe; 37 states have spent 70 percent or more of their HAVA money.
Former and current senior elections officials in Vermont doggedly defend their record and dismiss criticisms about the $13 million in unspent HAVA funds.
The state team claims that HAVA expenditures have been prudent; critics say the money is being hoarded unwisely, and that some past spending has been dubious.
Asked why Vermont has kept such a sizable HAVA balance, Secretary of State Jim Condos replied sharply: "Because we didn't spend it foolishly." In her office at the Secretary of State's building, Kathy Scheele, director of Vermont elections for over a decade, also makes no apologies for the office's tight hold on the HAVA purse strings.
But former state auditor Randy Brock noted that even after major HAVA projects like a $600,000 voter database, there was "a huge amount of money left to do other things, almost in perpetuity to deal with other voter issues. Frankly, I found that a little puzzling."
Scheele says ideally, the HAVA funds could last "forever" – and she isn't joking. HAVA funds, confirmed an EAC spokesman, do not expire.
"Why would we want to spend it?"
Former Secretary of State Deborah Markowitz, who oversaw HAVA expenditures in her 13-year tenure up to 2010, defended the office's spending strategy as "conservative." She said Vermont "got the job done well and didn't scrimp."
Markowitz also argued that the sizable remaining balance shields towns from the costs of complying with any future federal regulations which HAVA may impose.
"Why would we want to spend it?" Markowitz asked. "Let's save it for when there's a new mandate, for new technology. Won't it be great that we have money then, so that we don't burden local taxpayers?"
But some critics say that Vermont's elections infrastructure is not up to par compared to other states. Former deputy state auditor George Thabault wants to see an online voter registration lookup, so voters can clarify where they're registered to vote, alongside a unified system among town clerks for tracking voting history, which he says is useful information for political candidates.
"It seems like there's millions and millions of dollars waiting to be invested in improving access to Vermont's voting," said Thabault, suggesting that an online lookup, which only Vermont and California do not have, is a sorely needed upgrade to the state's system. "I hope it happens, quickly."
Scheele explained that the $6.68 million spent over the past decade went toward voting equipment, a statewide voter database, improving voting accessibility for disabled voters, and the training of election administrators.
"It's too bad a lot of other states spent too much of it, too quickly," said Scheele.
According to federal records, the government has awarded Vermont at least $18 million in HAVA funds since 2002: The state has received $16.6 million, but declined to claim the remaining $1.4 million in recent years, according to Scheele. (Federal records show that Vermont hasn't claimed HAVA funds due to the state since 2008.)
Larger states, like California, have received about $348.9 million in HAVA funding from 2002 to 2010, spending as much as $287 million on their elections systems in the same period.
Former Progressive state legislator and election policy analyst Terry Bouricius argues that there should be more targeted audits of high-profile races, to prevent voting fraud. Although he cautiously agrees with the Secretary of State's conservative HAVA spending, Bouricius mused, "There may be wonderful things to spend the money on."
Still others, like Milton town clerk John Cushing, hope that the statewide voter database first created in 2006 could be significantly improved. "If we have a checklist that's substandard, then I guess, I hate to say it, that means our electoral process must be substandard as well," said Cushing, who has experienced problems operating the database.
It remains unclear if Vermont could make better use of the federal funds resting in the Secretary of State's office, which has drawn little attention from legislators. Though the funds must partly go towards specific requirements outlined in federal statutes, much of the money can also be spent for the broad goal of "improving the administration of federal elections," which leaves room for slightly more creativity, said Scheele.
Several sources for this story said they saw no major differences between current Secretary of State Condos and predecessor Markowitz on their strategies for handling HAVA funds.
HAVA's unexamined past in Vermont
The $6 million paper trail left behind by HAVA expenditure to date hasn't been well examined. Federal officials have not audited the state's use of the funds, and the state auditor has only examined one program — the voter checklist project — paid for with the funds.
The federal Elections Assistance Commission, the agency that distributes and oversees HAVA funding nationally, ranked Vermont high on the list of states likely to be audited in 2006, according to the nonprofit Election Center. Vermont has never been audited by the EAC's Inspector General.
Still, "audits go after those who spend a lot of money rather than less," explained Curtis Crider, the Election Assistance Commission's inspector general. Vermont's sparse spending alone wouldn't raise a red flag in absence of further information, said Curtis, who clarified that Vermont is not scheduled for an audit this year.
Scheele doesn't expect a formal EAC audit for the next five years. She reiterated that states must nonetheless submit yearly financial status reports to the agency, outlining their HAVA receipts and expenditures in detail.
The EAC declined to comment on Vermont's use of HAVA funds through a spokesman, instead directing questions to state officials.
The EAC has its own woes. Republicans in Congress want to abolish the commission, and since December 2010, the group has lacked enough commissioners to issue internal policy or formally adopt budgets. All four commissioner seats are now vacant.
Within Vermont, one of Markowitz's priorities in 2005 and 2006 was the development of a statewide voter database, which cost an estimated $600,000. In October 2005, about six months before the database launched, Brock, then state auditor (now the GOP candidate for governor), released a deeply critical report on the checklist's development.
The audit report concluded that failures to keep documentation, follow proper government procedures and assess alternatives raised doubts over whether the HAVA funds had been spent effectively.
"Among the major concerns: There were security issues, reliability issues, issues regarding the software used, questions (about) whether it was robust," Brock recalled. "It wasn't a professional development environment."
Linda Lambert, principal auditor for the report, said, "It certainly wasn't best practice in IT development." Lambert remarked that the database's development ignored well-known strategies for successful projects which had been available for years.
But there were apparently also internal tensions at the Secretary of State's office over the database's creation. In a Aug. 18, 2003, memo from Scheele to Markowitz, according to the audit report, Scheele expressed concerns about FoxPro, the development software chosen for the checklist.
A March 2005 SymQuest report on the use of FoxPro, prepared for Markowitz, also argues that development options besides FoxPro are both cheaper and more effective. The report recommends "a robust and reliable application built on a simple and elegant infrastructure," rather than compensating for "an application platform's shortcomings with costly and complex infrastructure."
Eventually, Markowitz chose FoxPro as the database's development software, despite SymQuest's assessment and Scheele's objections. Markowitz now defends the choice as a wise in-house development strategy, which she said was cheaper than using outside contractors.
Markowitz also claims that "the proof is in the pudding," insofar as Vermont's database has lasted as a working model to date and has cost less than those developed in other states by outside vendors. Scheele, who at the time thought FoxPro "a terrible choice," now also defends the database as functional and reliable, though she says, "It isn't a Cadillac to look at."
Both Scheele and Markowitz say that in retrospect Brock's audit report missed the mark since the database worked after all. (Scheele also complained that the audit held the project to excessively high standards.) Still, Scheele expects the database will be replaced or modernized for the 2014 elections, at a cost of $1.5 million or so.
Most HAVA projects outsourced
Only two states besides Vermont developed statewide databases in-house, without using independent contractors, according to the Election Reform Information Project.
Even as Vermont chose not to contract out the creation of the voter database, it did outsource several contracts for other HAVA projects – but few went through the standard open bidding process. Instead they were outsourced to specific companies, which is rare in government contracting.
In the end, only one Vermont business received a contract funded by HAVA funds between 2002 to 2012, receiving $9,600 out of a total contracts award of $1.68 million, from nine contracts.
State contracts for telephone voting systems, standard voting equipment, and maintenance of the voter database, among other expenditures, were awarded to companies based in Kentucky, New Hampshire and North Carolina, for instance. Scheele said that the contracts did not go through a bid-out process because often only one company sold the suitable technology or service.
Little HAVA oversight
State oversight for HAVA funds, independent of the Secretary of State's office, appears weak. Formed in 2002, a well-staffed advisory committee helped draft Vermont's long-term state plan for HAVA funds, but quickly faded away after a few meetings around 2003 and 2004, according to former committee member Marge Gaskins.
Markowitz says that the federal EAC oversees HAVA money, with state legislators also playing an oversight role. But she couldn't recall many specific concerns or projects lawmakers pushed for, explaining that their main "general concern" was ensuring that the costs of federal mandates aren't shifted to municipalities.
Markowitz also said that legislators backed the idea of establishing a trust fund for saving and investing the HAVA balance.
There were no public comments at two hearings before Vermont completed its final state plan, with just one lonely emailed comment from the nonprofit Vermont League of Cities and Towns. Vermont's state plan has not been revised or updated since its approval in July 2003, in contrast to a majority of states that have made revisions.

International Co-operation
Scope of Control
Prohibition of Non-Medical Use of Opium
Production of Raw Materials
Domestic Trade
Pages: 26 to 27
Creation Date: 1952/01/01
Evolution in 1950 of National Legislations on Narcotics
Pursuant to a resolution of the Economic and Social Council, dated 28 March 1947, the Secretary-General regularly submits to the Commission on Narcotic Drugs a statement on the national laws and regulations relating to the control of narcotic drugs which have been received by the Secretariat during the year.
During 19501 the Secretary-General was informed of ten important laws promulgated during the period 1947-1950 Five of them are concerned exclusively with the suppression of the non-medical use of opium These laws were issued in Burma, the Indian provinces of Assam, Orissa and Punjab, and the United Kingdom Colony of North Borneo. New laws covering the entire narcotics administration were enacted in Iran, in Yugoslavia and in the United Kingdom Colony of Mauritius Laws dealing primarily with raw materials were passed in Peru and Turkey Furthermore, much of the new legislation in many countries was concerned with placing synthetic drugs under the existing national controls.
International Co-operation
For the period between June 1950 and June 1951, the following changes took place in the field of international control regarding signatures, ratifications, adherence to or acceptance of international instruments:
Ecuador (8 June 1951), Haiti (31 May 1951), and Iraq (14 September 1950) became Parties to the Protocol of 11 December 1946, amending the agreements, conventions and protocols on narcotic drugs concluded at The Hague on 23 January 1912, at Geneva on 11 February 1925, 19 February 1925 and 13 July 1931, at Bangkok on 27 November 1931 and at Geneva on 26 June 1936
India (10 November 1950), Indonesia (21 February 1951), the Netherlands (26 September 1950), Turkey (14 July 1950), and the United States of America including all territories for the foreign relations of which it is responsible (11 August 1950), became Parties to the Protocol of 19 November 1948 bringing under international control drugs outside the scope of the Convention of 13 July 1931 for. Limiting the Manufacture and Regulating the Distribution of Narcotic Drugs, as amended by the Protocol signed at Lake Success on 11 December 1946.1
See document E/NL 1950/Summary.
The Secretary-General received notification that the functions and obligations under the 1912, 1925, and 1931 Conventions, under the Agreements of 1925, and 1931, and under the 1948 Protocol, regarding Laos and Vietnam, were transferred from the Government of France to the Governments of Laos and Vietnam respectively The Government of France informed the Secretary-General that, as of 1 January 1950, it would no longer furnish separate documents for Algeria, Guiana, Réunion, Guadeloupe and Martinique concerning the implementation of the international conventions, as these territories had become departments of France and therefore integral parts of the French Republic. The Allied High Commission for Germany was reported to have suggested to the Government of the Federal Republic of Germany that, as a condition precedent to assuming responsibility for the control of narcotic drugs, the Government expressly confirm Germany's adherence to the 1912, 1925 and 1931 Conventions and adhere to the 1936 Convention and to the 1946 and 1948 Protocols
The Government of the Republic of Indonesia stated that, in accordance with the agreements concluded at The Hague in 1949, the international obligations regarding narcotic drugs which had been undertaken by the Netherlands would also be carried out by Indonesia.
The Government of the Netherlands reported that it was preparing to ratify the 1936 Convention
At the level of regional co-operation, Benelux's Permanent Committee on Public Health established a Narcotics Sub-Committee, which is to harmonize the application of the narcotics laws in Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg
Scope of Control
While the basic purpose of all narcotic control is the restriction of narcotic drugs to medical and scientific use, certain variations appear in the measures taken by governments to attain that purpose In Colombia, licences issued for the import, manufacture and sale of drugs are to be reviewed for the primary purpose of protecting public health. In Iran, the Ministry of Hygiene may, with the approval of the Council of Ministers, include in the list of narcotic drugs any product which it seems fit to restrict in the interest of health or morale. In the Indian province of Mysore, licences for import, export, sale, etc, of intoxicating drugs may be issued only for "medicinal, scientific, industrial or like purposes". The Yugoslav control régime was established to "protect the health of the nation and to prevent the unlawful use of narcotic drugs and raw materials", manufacture and preparation are restricted to medical and scientific purposes and imports to medical and scientific requirements.
Prohibition of Non-Medical Use of Opium
Of the five laws prohibiting the non-medical use of opium communicated to the Secretary-General during 1950, two authorize the issue of smoking licences to existing addicts.
Production of Raw Materials
Regarding the production of raw materials, it is particularly interesting to note the establishment of a Coca Monopoly in Peru, which is to control the sowing, cultivation, harvesting, distribution, consumption and export of coca ; the introduction of a zoning system for the production of opium in Turkey and, in a somewhat different form, in Yugoslavia. The Turkish and Yugoslav laws establish government monopolies, not for the cultivation of the raw materials, but rather for the purchase of the crops. The cultivators in designated areas are free to grow or not, provided they comply with certain requirements.
Among the principal provisions dealing with manufacture reported to the Secretary-General, were those adopted in Iran in 1947, providing for the centralization of all manufacture in the capital, and those passed in Yugoslavia in 1950, according to which the manufacture of narcotic drugs is the task of State enterprises under the Federal Government and forms part of the general economic plan. An interesting subsidiary regulation passed in Japan in 1949 institutes a system of special identification marks for all narcotics on the market
In France, in accordance with the Decree of 19 November 1948, Orders establishing the limits for the manufacture of narcotic substances are issued annually The Order for 1950, like the one for 1949, authorized the production of morphine, diacetylmorphine, methylmorphine, ethylmorphine, dihydrohydroxycodeinone, dihydrocodeinone, dihydromorphinone, cocaine, their respective salts, and of one synthetic drug, namely pethidine
Domestic Trade
Turkey and Yugoslavia reported the introduction of state monopolies for the domestic trade in certain narcotic raw materials. In each case the conversion of these materials, too, is a state monopoly Peru created a monopoly which controls the distribution, consumption and export of coca. Iran requires pharmacists to submit all requests for narcotic drugs to the Ministry of Hygiene, and medical practitioner's need special licences by that Ministry before they may obtain narcotic drugs The Mauritius Ordinance of 1950, while controlling all transfers by the usual licensing provisions, actually imposes a somewhat similar system, as all drugs imported must be stored at the government store and may be withdrawn only by permission of the Director of Medical Services Apart from efforts to perfect the licensing systems controlling the movement of narcotic drugs, the following measures were reported the use of official forms for medical prescriptions of narcotic drugs was reported by Argentina, Brazil, and by the United States of America for the state of California.
In Australia and New Zealand amendments were passed legalizing the keeping of drugs in airplanes for emergency purposes. In the Indian province of Mysore, advertisements of narcotic products were restricted to medical literature. In the United States, the use of cannabis sativa for manufacturing fibre was placed under the control of the Commissioner of Narcotic Drugs
Measures intended to improve the existing machinery of records, reports and governmental inspection, penal sanctions which various countries enacted for the suppression of the illicit traffic in narcotic drugs, measures relating to the administrative organization of the control of narcotic drugs at the national level, are dealt with in other chapters of the statement of the Secretary-General.

|ahhh could be the gash is the gully climb between deadmans and the end dihederal on the right side of the face kinda dirty but with an interesting exit out the chimney at the top....5.7 ish That rock hadnt really been touched till 74 you wouldnt believe the amount of cleaning we did on that! A bunch of us worked at a local alpine store i Carson called Bobs Alpine and it was a handy play ground back then ........

This is the route the guidebook calls The Gash, so if someone is wrong, I guess it is the guidebook author.
Even though it is 'only' 5.7, this is one of the best routes at Dinosaur. Long and full of fun moves, the last third has a great alpine feel to it as well!

|hhmmm, Airelli, as You know, i wrote the guide for Dino. The GASH IS the trough and chimney to the RIGHT of the bolted face, which IS "deadmans Rappel". But then again, ive only been climbing there since 1974.;-)

I was referring to the Carville guide, and I assumed Mike Carville wrote those descriptions/topos. Something must be amiss in that book because it certainly seemed to indicate to my partner and I that The Gash was the climb described here and that Deadman's Rappel was a different route (which we did not climb that day)... Also I just looked over the description for D.R. on here and the various and sundry beta pics for the whole crag, and it all seems to be conflicting information from different people at every turn on which line is what.
The name 'The Gash' does seem more appropriate for the dirty 5th class gully to the left of the face climb! I will retract my stars for this route and assign them elsewhere per your correction, Ron.

|DOnt know how that has been confused really. It wasnt in the yellow Carville guide. But at any rate, the nice fun 5.7 bolted face be deadmans rappel, with "the gash" next door to the right. actually the gash is fun also-has an interesting exit out the top of the chimney.

The Carville guide (not old yellow but the current Falcon) shows The Gash as being a bolted face directly left of Deadman's Rappel. It illustrates them as having independent bolt lines for about 3-4 bolts and then converging to finish. It seems to illustrate the long deep gully to the left of these two face routes as being a different route called Quadzilla, 5.4.
But as we know, that Falcon guide has a lot of problems mislabeling routes in multiple areas. It is too bad.
By Ron Anderson
Jun 16, 2011
ahhh yeah,, the FALCON guide LOL!!! That explains everything....The best thing to do with that guide is to use it to line the bird cage with!! There is no route there called "quadzilla"...I would have thought he could have gotten that the area right since he was using my info in the first place...sheeesh.;-) ill post up the top for ya here, as to eliviate da confusion!

Films like The birdcage, In Out, and As Good As It Gets established a new norm for gay characters in media.
He dragged up and spoke for inclusive family values in the 1993 film and played a loving gay partner in 'The birdcage.'
The scene afterwards in the birdcage when I went in to see him weighed was most amusing.
The birdcage and dog musical-box in the illustration are of this kind.

A birdcage hung in the sunny window of her house when she was a girl.
This door was of solid wood, with a square panel cut from its centre, the opening barred like a birdcage.

The present paper briefly describes the scope and implementation of 'Pandektis', an open access repository containing resources of greek history and culture http://pandektis.ekt.gr) that has been developed by the Hellenics National Documentation Center of the National Hellenic Research Institute (http://www.ekt.gr). 'Pandektis' has been developed using the open repository platform DSpace but has been configured and customized based on the requirements of each hosted digital collection. In the following, after describing the scope of the project, we report the main enhancements or customizations that we performed on the DSpace platform to accommodate the requirements of this specific digital repository implementation. The main issues that have been addressed include context-sensitive presentation and browsing of material, support of custom metadata, linking among digital artifacts and support of range queries in advanced search.

text: A Blue Star Salute in OrrvilleEditor:Traditionally, Armed Forces Day celebrations are conducted at or near large military installations on the third Saturday in May. In previous years, not all cities and towns participated; there just wasn't a direct connection.That all changed Sept. 11, 2001. Today our community is blessed with outstanding men and women serving in uniform on our behalf in the war against terrorism. They are our neighbors, friends and relatives who are members of the National Guard and Reserves sharing the burden of battling terrorism around the globe with active duty forces.They're also the wives and husbands, the children and family members who pray for the safe return of their loved ones every day they are deployed with their units.On this Armed Forces Day, May 21, Orrville will conduct a Blue Star Salute for these hometown heroes. Together as a community, let us personally thank them as we enjoy a day of family fun, games, music and camaraderie at Veterans Park in Orrville.They are America's newest wartime veterans. We are honored to call them comrades.Michael J. Speal, CommanderAmerican Legion Post 282OrrvilleVote no on nuclear optionEditor:We are supposed to have a government of checks and balances.Republicans want to destroy that system even though they have benefited from it in the past.We certainly can't believe we are wiser than the founding fathers and mothers or wiser than the 200-year-old filibuster.Save our democratic rights. Save minority rights.Vote no on the nuclear option.Bill MungerWoosterListen to conscience Editor:Whether or not Republicans filibustered some of Clinton's nominees, I believe, that if so, the Republicans were correct to do so and at the same time they are correct to seek to end the filibuster.The reason I think this is that people are born with a conscience of what is right and wrong. I think decisions of the Supreme Court concerning sodomy and partial birth abortion, and a lower court decision overturning a constitutional amendment, voted in by the citizens, banning same-sex marriage, are unconscionable. The judges have read into our Constitution "rights" that are not provided therein. Supreme Court Justices Anthony Kennedy, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Stephen Breyer and Sandra Day O'Connor all have made statements concerning taking international law into account in making decisions. But they are sworn in to protect the Constitution of the United States.President Bush made nominations in accordance with statements made during the campaigns concerning his belief that judges should interpret the Constitution strictly and not legislate from the bench. The will of the people was expressed in the 2004 election. Our senators were elected to represent the people.It is not up to me to tell the senators what to do, but I do pray that senators, on both sides of the aisle, will listen to their consciences and do the right thing.Mary Hull NaumoffOrrville

FIREFIGHTERS have issued a warning to motorists after rescuing a woman whose car got stuck in floodwater.
Crews were alerted when the woman drove into the water on the West Stafford bypass near Dorchester which has been hit by flooding again.
The road has been closed numerous times over the winter due to flooding and trapped motorists attempting to drive through.
Road closure signs have again been put up following another bout of heavy rain but the woman who was rescued said the sign on the Highgate Lane side of the flood had been knocked over.
She was assisted by a team from Dorset Fire and Rescue Service who waded into the water and pushed her car to safety.
The woman, who did not want to be identified, said as she had been stuck in her car, lorries and cars continued to drive past her through the floodwater.
The woman, who lives locally, said: "It was terrifying. It wasn't too bad at first but then a wave of water came over the bonnet and that was it.
"I think most people who live around here know that this is a bad spot for flooding, but as there was no sign there I thought it would be ok."
She added: "I want to say thank you to the fire service. They were absolutely amazing, and so calm and lovely."
A spokesman for Dorset Fire and Rescue Service confirmed that the sign was broken when firefighters arrived at the scene, and that the local authority had been informed.
Station manager Stu Jeneson said drivers are taking a 'massive risk' by ignoring signs.
He said: "Big lorries are continuing to drive through, but they have a much higher wheel base.
"I think car drivers are seeing that and assuming they will be able to get through, but it's very easy for cars to become stuck."
He added: "If a road is closed, there is a reason. We would urge motorists not to drive through and put themselves and us at risk."
Gordon Shaw, who represents the village on the Knightsford Group Parish Council, said the situation is 'getting beyond a joke'.
He said: "There are quite a lot of signs saying the road is closed but a lot of people do not take any notice.
"When we have had heavy rain it can be three feet deep in places." Coun Shaw added: "The bypass seems to be closed every other week, which means traffic comes through the village where there are no footpaths.
"Something needs to be done about it."
The parish council is due to discuss the issue at the next meeting in West Stafford Village Hall on April 12.
Derek Bateman, who lives in the village, said: "It is a bit ridiculous that they built a bypass that can't be used every time it rains.
"It means we get a lot of traffic through the village, which is a nightmare."
'Take note of signs' says council
A SPOKESMAN for Dorset County Council said: "We have put out road closure signs, cones and barriers on the West Stafford bypass.
"We have also placed advanced warning sign at main junctions before motorists reach the bypass.
"For their own safety we advise people to take note of the warning signs and not drive through floodwater."
"Unfortunately there is nothing we can do in the short term.
"The county's roads have been badly hit over a particularly bad winter which followed one of the wettest summers on record.
"This has made groundwater levels dangerously high."

The six-month-old Palestinian uprising or Intifada is the theme of honor at Qatar's First Film Festival.
"This festival was dedicated to the Palestinian people and to the Intifada," said Mohammed Makhluf, organizer of the festival that featured more than 100 documentaries and short films.
The festival, which opened Saturday and lasted until Friday, kicked off with a short film entitled "The Challenge," which tells a story about daily life in the Palestinian territories, which Palestinian director Nizar Hassan said has become "nearly impossible."
"For me, this festival is a big event. I hope it will be a way to rehabilitate ourselves as Palestinians," Hassan told AFP.
The festival organizers said in January that a 50,000-dollar prize would be awarded to the top films.
The festival, sponsored by Qatar's Al-Jazeera satellite channel, aims to "encourage young talent in the Arab cinema and to honor established Arab filmmakers," Makhluf said -- AFP

Taking place for the 10th year at the Deauville Beach Resort, the NADA Miami Beach fair (organized by the New Art Dealers Association) offers a more relaxed and spunky vibe than Art Basel Miami Beach, which takes place at the convention center. The galleries are younger, but some of the same buyers, like Bed Bath and Beyond founder Marty Eisenberg, and London's Poju and Anita Zabludowicz, were seen roaming the sales floor.
These works or booths caught A.i.A.'s eye.
Javier M. Rodriguez at Curro & Poncho, Zalopan, Mexico
Visitors constantly bumped into a sculpture by Rodriguez, made from measuring tape affixed with rivets into a geometric abstraction and hanging from the ceiling by a string, but it just spins and comes to rest. "For a dealer to have works that can take a beating, it's great," Curro told A.i.A.
Brock Enright at Kate Werble, New York
Werble and an assistant bravely stood at the edge of Brock Enright's installation, which was just a couple of feet deep but took up the dealer's entire tiny stand. They were warning preview visitors not to step on the floor piece, which was a carpet of poppy seeds. There were a few stray footsteps. "But it's supposed to be sort of a Zen garden," said Werble, "so the imperfections are okay."
Laura Aldridge at Kendall Koppe, Glasgow
Aldridge's large wall sculptures each replicate, at six feet high, the particular shape and details of a shirt pocket, usually from men's clothes, down to pleats, buttons and fabric patterns. "She's playing with 2D and 3D, painting and sculpture," an assistant named Margot explained. But with allusive titles like Humanity Rose (paint the objects and not the atmosphere), she seems to be after even bigger game, too.
Nathalie Du Pasquier at Desaga, Cologne
Small wall-hung painted wood sculptures by Nathalie Du Pasquier employ a pastel palette with untreated wood hues, in simple geometric shapes that recall Modernism and De Stijl. It's a winning combination.
Tomoki Kurakawa at Nanzuka, Tokyo
The self-trained Tomoki Kurakawa makes brightly colored, graphically bold small paintings based on scenes from everyday life. So what everyday event inspired a painting with a campfire on a tile floor near a parked bicycle? "The artist doesn't talk about that," a gallery attendant told me.
Toril Johannessen at Lautom, Oslo
Toril Johannesen does a survey of the frequency with which certain words appear in different magazines and journals, director Randi Thommessen told me, to create her prints on paper. She conceived the one on the word "revolution" before the Arab Spring, Thommessen said, "and when that happened, it created the spike you see here, and the work became even more topical."
Bhakti Baxter at Federica Schiavo, Rome
Baxter, a Miami artist, toys with 2D and 3D in works that collage together images of Henry Moore sculptures and landscapes, in small framed works on paper and on wallpaper that decorated the booth. It's an eye-catching and rich play with scale and space.
Jaye Moon at Newman Popiashvili, New York
In works that also appeared at the artist's gallery show, which got interrupted by Storm Sandy, Moon translates iconic works by other artists into a numerical code that is used in creating Braille to say things she can't say herself, as with the Tracey Emin-style work illustrated here, "to say things the artist feels she can't say herself." One painting was marked with colorful dots that, if raised, would spell out "Damien Hirst spot paintings suck."
Thomas Grünfeld at Corbett vs. Dempsey, Chicago
Grünfeld works with a top taxidermist, Jim Dempsey told me, to create sculptures that combine parts of two of three different animals. "They're always in positions of rest," he said. They are totally convincing and provided a quietly surreal moment that inspired an elderly observer to say out loud, "OMG."
Martin Soto Climent at Clifton Benevento, New York
You could have missed Climent's sculptural installation, Delivery, tucked away in a tiny mini-booth at Clifton Benevento's stand. A number of paper bags used for food delivery stand upside down on the floor, showing the names, usually Hispanic in origin, that are stamped on their bottoms. The artist envisions them as factory workers where the bags are produced, and will continue to add to the piece after it's purchased.

The above incident is typical of this class of psychometry, and many persons have had at least flashes of this phase of the power.
There are no special directions to be given the student in psychometry.
The history of psychometry is filled with remarkable instances of this kind.
The phenomena of psychometry are also dependent upon these radiations, as will presently be explained.
What "association" is in the case of Memory, so is the material object presented as the "associated object" in psychometry.
psychometry brings up these ancient characters as vividly and truthfully as history.
I had provided myself with two locks of hair, as I had heard that "psychometry" was among Sibyl's qualifications.
When a true civilization arrives, arbitration will supersede courts, and psychometry will assist in making it perfect.
It seems that since our beloved Dentons departure you are almost left alone to fight the great battle of psychometry.
But this phase of phenomena properly belongs to the realm of psychometry.

UK Ford Repair Questions? Ask a Mechanic for Answers ASAP
68000miles,there are no lights on dash ,the car has small amount of power at low revs ,will not rev much above 2000rpm, then does it very slowly no increase in power.had this on previous citroen when turbo was not boosting engine.not jerky just very little power ,will reach about 40mph on the level through gears.
bought vehicle last year with 52000 on clock had it serviced after purchase,correct oil used as far as I know,can't gtee that.serevice due shortly.
My neighbour is a mechanic ,he plugged in diagnostic gadget,when he gets back I can tell you fault codes,the last one I remember was wrong throttle position or something ,will let you know numbers asap.
car will work fine most of the time if I leave it switched off for a while.possibly the fault happens after higher sustained engine revs.
Hi there , Good evening to you ,
Ok as your fault is intermitenet it is a bit more difficult to diaganose
from your description i would supsect a faulty boost vacuum regulator as this is quite common on these engines , basically this regulator is supplied with a vacuum from the vacuum pump and then is actuated by the PCM to send a certain amount of vacuum to the turbo vane actuator these can stick internally and cause no vacuum to be supplied to the turbo , this regulator is located at the rear of the engine block
also inspect the vacuum pipe that runs from this actuator to the turbo
what i have seen several times is the rubber /pipe connection at the turbo becomes swelt/swollen usally due to a cracked intercooler pipe ( hairline crack at the weld )
this sprays oil onto the turbo vacuum hose and contaminates the end pipe resulting in intermitinent boost issues ( this needs to be a nice tight fit onto the turbo )
these engines are also prone for turbo failures or turbo variable vane actuators sticking when hot ( caused by carbon build up on the internal vanes )
again this could cause your issue
these 1.6 dv6 engines produce a lot of soot and this can also lead to turbos sticking due to contamination of the vanes
other issues which cannot be overlooked are PCM software updates ( through fords IDS laptop )
as if the parameters of eg, boost sensor are out of limits then no vacuum will be appilied to the turbo
usally when i have a fault like yours in my dealership i carry out a fault code checktake note of the codes then clear them and road test the vehicle extensively until the fault arises again then re-check the codes and work from there
the usall code is p0299 -turbo underboot which can be caused by all of the above issues i spoke of
if you need anymore help or advice on this issue please let me know
if you are completlety satisfied with my answer/advice PLEASE CLICK ACCEPT
Kind regards XXXXX XXXXX and have a nice evening
Hi Brian.Having great difficulty trying to reply to your messages,thanks for reply.
code p0299 does come up as turbo under boost. ,if I turn the engine off for 3 minutes it usually starts and runs for a while. sometimes if revs are kept up it will get me home,sometimes it cuts the turbo boost again, just had yellow engine light come on and stay on ,did odd thing this morning ,cooling fan started with a cold engine .where do I start.are these engine induction cleaning processes,like the one BG offer any good.
hi Brian , good evening,sorry to drag this one,
I have had conflicting reports of fault p0299.
took car to local garage and they showed me that the code was mechanical fault in the turbo , the gararge suggested that the turbo was busted and should be replaced ,I disagree because when I restart the car the turbo can work perfectly until I slow down to low revs for a time.
Do you know what the correct diagnosis for the code is?
They have said that they need to do a smoke test on the induction system to see if there is a leek anywhere,should I ask for a rolling test? if they can,t do it maybe I should take it to a ford garage,trouble with main dealers is that they cost twice as much and currently between jobs things are a bit tight,but I need a car,so any suggestions.many thanks again

You always can save an Adobe Illustrator 3 file, and import it into Maya>Create> Illustrator object. Make sure youve got enough bevel. Then do some Booleans extract with a sphere intersecting with the object so you can have a somewhat bent. Put some nice mats on it and render on Mental Ray or export the OBJ into any other renderer like Maxwell (hyper-realistic rendering) or Bunkspeed (real-time raytraced rendering). An youre done
Hi You can do this shape in any 3d software, them export to 3ds or obj file format, open in photoshop extended and finally place the label. What's your budget for this work.
