I have 2 stereo sets (4 binding posts) of Cardas CCGR-L Binding Posts I am willing to sell for $30 each. I am willing to sell by each stereo set.
I am also selling three stereo sets of Cardas GRFA RCA Female Chassis Connectors for $15 each.
Anyone interested, please let me know.
Thanks !!!
Is that $15/pair for the RCA connectors, or per connector?
RE: Cardas Binding Posts
Are these the same binding posts used in the Audiosector Integrated amplifier:
Just curious
No, it is not the same physical binding post that that amp is using. It is a 5 way binding post where you can connect spades, bannanas, lugs, bare wire, etc. I do not know if they have the same metal properties that what I am selling -
According to Cardas - long billet Copper posts, Rhodium over Silver plate. Billet Copper nut, Gold plate. Glass filled nylon insulator.
$15 per pair for the RCA Connection.
Please note that this is the GRFA DBL PRT
Double RCA Female, right angle, PC board mount. See Cardas website for picture.
Unfortunately, I cannot edit my original thread to update it.
For all potential buyers -
Please visit the Cardas site to see what you are getting.
Shipping and Paypal Charges -
For those who are interested in paying via paypal, please add 3% to the order.
For shipping, I would like to keep it continental USA shipping at a flat rate of $5.00 USPS. If you would like it via FedEx Ground then it is $10.00 because of surcharges and higher shipping rates they impose. If you would like UPS shipping, I will need to locate where they are at (should nto be too difficult for me to find), but the rate will also be ground shipping at $10.00.
If Alaskan, Hawaii, Canadian, or overseas buyers are interested, it will be higher. email me for details and your city, state/province, and country if you are interested.
thanks for the reply. the pics were helpful and they look good but they are the CCGR-PC pc board mount version. not quite the length i was looking for but i'll check some of my other stuff tomorrow and figure out if i can use them. thanks again
OK, thanks for the info. You should still be able to use them. I made use of them by removing one of the two speaker board outputs, and wired it directly from a one of the speaker board outputs to a ring that fastened around the nuts. Worked perfectly for each binder. I was able to remove a board that was not neccesarry to achieve this.
If you take this method, you would need to be handy with a soldering iron, good speaker wire, and get some rings (or washers with a tip to solder the wires) that can fit around the binding post.
Another alternative is to just forgo the ring and place the wiring around the binder, securing them with the nuts.
Anyone interested in pics, let me know.
Forgot to mention that the screws on the end tips are removable. You do not need to mount these binding posts on a PC board despite the PC designation ! It is the CCGR fully circular on the end instead of just half circular on the end.
I did not mount these to a PC board to make use of them. Anyone wanting pics of the screws removed on the end as proof, email me.

THE lesson is disturbing and, for the culture surrounding professional sport, bleak. Cheat and you can win. Win the medals, money and acclaim. Win the titles, respect and the endorsements. And even when you get caught, if you are contrite and famous enough, you can win again in the quest for redemption.
This is not to belittle Lance Armstrong for finally, unequivocally and publicly admitting to being a drug cheat. ''I'm not the most believable guy in the world right now, I understand,'' the fallen hero conceded in his much anticipated interview with US talk-show host Oprah Winfrey. Damn right.
He has taken months and years to catch up with what everyone else - including an official investigation - had told us was the truth about widespread doping in cycling. But this whole sorry episode is about much more than the man and his personal foibles.
To understand this story properly, the modern elevation of sport from a competition into a lucrative business needs to be fully examined.
Armstrong did not come to stand on such a lofty pedestal alone. The media's complicity - with honourable exceptions - in spinning the Armstrong tale into the gigantic brand he became must be acknowledged. The sponsors who enthusiastically bought into the legend to burnish their own products and sales, creating a cash-flushed culture of ''whatever it takes'', ought to be scrutinised. The officials, team doctors and support staff who facilitated the doping syndicate that flourished in the top echelon of cycling should be punished. Armstrong should be punished.
In the end, his confession produced an anti-climax. With a muttered ''yes'', Armstrong acknowledged the truth that over many years he had belligerently denied. Had he taken drugs? Yes. Used steroids? Yes. The blood-enhancing hormone EPO? Yes. Testosterone? Yes. In each of the seven times he rode across the line first in the Tour de France.
He'd never thought of this as cheating, Armstrong insisted, because in his generation, all the top cyclists had done it. He even looked up ''cheat'' in the dictionary one day as the stories about his misconduct began to emerge, taking solace in a definition that explained the word as seeking unfair advantage over a rival. Cold comfort. Had he read on in the Oxford Dictionary, he would have found cheating defined as breaking the rules, and Armstrong most certainly did.
The authorities now must decide what to do with the former pin-up of cycling. There must be serious consequences for such egregious behaviour and stripping him of his titles is not enough. Elite sport should provide a role model for the community. For his own health, coming clean after years of denial is undoubtedly a good thing. After breaching faith with so many - his family, staff and fans - Armstrong will have to push uphill to find forgiveness. For that, he deserves good luck. But that should be where the reward for his confession ends.
The manner of his on-camera expose with Winfrey, after his previous on-camera performance baldly lying to investigators while under oath, did not speak of introspection, but instead a bid to claim back public adoration. He deserves none. It seems strange to now hear Armstrong speak of ''my career'' as a cyclist. He did not really have a career, not in the sense of patiently building on success after success. He certainly overcame adversity, fighting off testicular cancer. But he went on to systematically cheat to rise to the top of his sport and then covered it up.
He profited with millions, won undeserved celebrity, and who can really say how many fair-dinkum careers he stifled with his false claims to greatness. ''I view this situation as one long lie,'' he told Winfrey in what sounded to be his most candid insight.
Break out the thesaurus next, Lance. A better word is fraud.
And another thing...
FOR centuries, the spider's web has, along with the arachnid itself, been associated with the more stealthy, duplicitous side of life - thus Walter Scott's line, ''O, what a tangled web we weave when we practice to deceive''. A better press has long been overdue. As reported in The Sunday Age today, a saviour has at last been well and truly recognised: step forward, Professor Fritz Vollrath, zoologist at Oxford University, who has been unpicking the mysteries and astounding capabilities of the other world-wide web for more than 40 years. He is, quite literally, a spin doctor with a wonderful story to tell. Not only is spider silk the toughest material on earth, its potential uses as a biomaterial in science and medicine are extraordinarily encouraging, in everything from knee replacements to heart transplants. It is to be celebrated that spiders are now our friends.

Read and Watch: Wonder Boys
Some books are ruined by their movie adaptations, and other times, the stories actually work better on film. Then, there are the rare cases where the book and the movie are great for different reasons.
One example: Wonder Boys, the Michael Chabon novel made into a movie in 2000. The film captures the book's wit very well; the script even lifts some of the book's best dialogue. But director Curtis Hanson also makes great choices about what details to leave out.
One of the movie's major triumphs is its. Michael Douglas is perfect as Grady Tripp, an English professor/novelist battling writer's block while wearing his estranged wife's bathrobe. With the exception of Katie Holmes (who's just not quite right as student Hannah Green), almost everyone else gives a pitch-perfect performance. Tobey Maguire is Tripp's brooding but promising student; Robert Downey Jr. is the flamboyant book agent; and Frances McDormand is wonderfully subdued as Tripp's lover and the university chancellor. But while the movie is both quirky and touching, the book is enjoyable even if you've already seen the film, so
If you've seen Wonder Boys the movie, the book will be familiar in many ways. But you'll also be surprised at how much father the book takes the story and how much further it delves into the story's relationships. Though the book's supporting characters are just as rich and colorful as they are movie, the novel—much more so than the movie—is primarily Tripp's story. Through his darkly comedic narration, we get to know more about his background, his demons, and his unraveling. Then, there is Chabon's writing, which is at once very accessible, laugh-out-loud funny, and striking in its edgy beauty. Whether you read the book first or see the movie, I highly recommend enjoying Wonder Boys both ways.

"Some Traits of the Dakota Language" are discussed by Franz Boas of Columbia University in a recent volume on Race, Language and Culture (New York, 1940). "A few features of the language of the Dakota Indians which seem to have a wider linguistic interest" are
selected for elaboration by the author. In a chapter dealing with "Romance Folk-lore among American Indians," Professor Boas
declares that a "variety of French material has become part of Indian lore."
Carrie A. Lyford is the author of an interesting study of the Quill and Beadwork of the Western Sioux, which has been published by the education division of the United States Office of Indian Affairs as number I of an Indian Handcrafts series (1940. 116 p.). Among the subjects considered are the types of articles decorated by the Sioux, such as clothing and
tipis; methods used in preparing and dressing skins; the techniques, materials, and stitches used in quill and in bead work;
and the "development of Sioux designs." A list of "museums in which choice collections of Indian arts and crafts can be found"
is included. Numerous illustrations and diagrams add to the value of the booklet.
An important collection of "Drawings by George Catlin," which the New York Historical Society acquired from the artist in
1870, is described by M. Maxson Holloway in the society's Quarterly Bulletin for January. Although the collection consists of "220 original pencil and ink drawings of North American Indians," the writer
has failed to find it "recorded in any published book or bibliography on Catlin." A special exhibit of Catlin's work was placed
on display by the society in December and January. In addition to items from its own collection, twenty-one paintings owned
by the America Museum of Natural History were displayed.1
The Trail of Death — Letters of Benjamin Marie Petit, edited by Irving McKee, has recently been issued by the Indiana Historical Society as
No. 1 of volume XIV of its Publications. Father Petit describes the removal of the Potawatomi Indians from Indiana to Kansas in 1838. The original papers and letters
of Father Petit are preserved in the library of Notre Dame University.2
Having taken much interest in Oregon history since 1931, doing much historical research work, in which I have written thousands
of letters throughout the United States, and read many armloads of books, and exhausted many libraries of colleges and universities,
newspapers and magazines — during this historical research work I located the true original grave of old Chief Joseph. This
was some
Page 281
two or three miles from where J. H. Horner, Secretary of the Wallowa County Historical Society, and historian thereof, claimed
to have found the grave, as he stated to me in his own words in his letters to me . . . during the year 1931:
I found the grave of old Chief Joseph on the point near Lostine between the Lostine River and the main Wallowa rivers, on
40 acres of land owned by Americous McAlexander. I removed old Chief Joseph's remains therefrom and reburied them at the foot
of Wallowa Lake . . .
My said Joseph's grave was below the said forks of the said rivers and above the town of Wallowa, on the opposite side of
Wallowa River from Wallowa town, and two or three hundred yards north of northeast of where the old A. C. Smith mountain road
was located at this point just before this first wagon road into Wallowa crossed the Wallowa River below the said forks thereof.
My said Joseph's grave was on a little hill there, on land owned by Jim Masterson, the nearest that I can come at it. My eyewitnesses
. . . are three pioneer lawyers — A. C. Smith, great friend of young Chief Joseph and his Nez Perces; John S. Hodgin, former
law partner with A. C. Smith at Enterprise; and J. D. Slater, pioneer lawyer of La Grande, to whom Mr. Smith showed my said
grave of old Chief Joseph in April 1875. All three of these pioneer lawyers and personal friends have departed this life,
but I have their written signed letters today as touching my said location of old Chief Joseph's grave.3
Mr. and Mrs. M. R. Harrington have added to the Charles Avery Amsden Memorial Collection of the Southwest Museum, Los Angeles,
a number of unusual Indian baskets, mainly from Eastern tribes whose products are rarely seen in Western museums. Among them
are specimens from the Abenaki, the Alibamu, the Kickapoo, the now extinct Matinecock of Long Island, the Missisauga or Eastern
Ojibwa, the Potawatomi, and the Seneca; and, rarest of all, two baskets from the Yara Indians of eastern Cuba. From Western
tribes there is a Makah basket in the unusual lattice-twine weave, and a Modoc specimen purchased from the tribesmen in Oklahoma
who for years were compelled to live as exiles, far from their original home in the lava-bed region of northern California.
Outside of basketry the Harrington gift includes a painting on skin of the Chiricahua Apache "devil dance" made by no less
a person than Chief Naiche, right-hand man of the famous Geronimo, and some unusually fine carved gourd bowls from Indians
of Central America. Especially the gift of Mrs. Harrington is a series of silver brooches made and used by the Seneca Iroquois
Indians of New York State long before the Navaho ever dreamed of making silver ornaments. Up to the end of the 19th century
the gala dress of Seneca women was often
Page 282
decorated with hundreds of these dainty brooches in varying patterns, many of them made by native silversmiths, others manufactured
especially for the Indian trade by whites and purchased by the Seneca.4
The following editorial appearing in The Daily Oklahoman on August 12, 1942, will be of interest to our readers:
How many of us Oklahomans realize that the Indian wars of our own prairies were the kindergarten in which many a Civil war
veteran learned the rudiments of his trade? Not until Carbine and Lance had come from the competent pen of Colonel Nye did we realize the important part the Indian wars played in training the men
of the old army for the strenuous tasks they soon would be performing on the battlefields of the Confederacy.5 The battle of Rush Springs between federal cavalry and the Comanches was fought on Oct. 1, 1858, and in that minor battle
of the border at least five officers served who afterwards became generals in the Confederate army. The cavalry, men who fought
at Rush Springs were commanded by Major Van Dorn, who less than four years later was in command of 20,000 southern troops
in Arkansas. It was Van Dorn who delayed the capture of Vicksburg the greater part of a year by destroying Grant's supply
depot at Holly Springs. Two of Van Dorn's subordinate officers at Rush Springs were Kirby Smith and Fitzhugh Lee both of whom
became major generals in the southern armies. Incidentally, Lee carried in his body to the day of his death an arrow head
he received in fighting the Comanches. One of Van Dorn's captains at Rush Springs was N. G. Evans. Less than three years later
it was Evans who commanded the Confederate brigade that held the left flank of the army until sufficient reinforcements to
save the army could be brought up from Manassas. And it was Evans who commanded the southern forces at Ball's Bluff. Assisting
Van Dorn at Rush Springs was a company of Tonkawa Indian scouts commanded by "Sul" Ross of Texas. Ross was desperately wounded
in the Rush Springs fighting and barely escaped being scalped by a Comanche warrior. But he survived both the Comanche and
Civil wars and acquitted himself well as Governor of Texas. His last public service was rendered as President of the Texas
A. and M. college at College Station. With few exceptions the officers who served in those early Indian wars afterwards entered
the armies of the Confederacy. But with almost no exceptions the officers who
Page 283
fought the Indians in the years following Appomattox were veterans of the union armies such as Sherman, Sheridan, Custer and
The late Professor J. H. Caldwell was for 30 years a student and teacher of Oklahoma history. Last year he located at Fayetteville,
Arkansas the Alfred M. Wilson papers, a collection of great value to the history of Oklahoma. The Cherokee Commission was
the most important commission in the History of the lands of Oklahoma Territory.6 The only member to serve throughout the life of the commission was Alfred M. Wilson of Arkansas, appointed March 30, 1889.
The papers are in the possession of Allan Wilson, 516 West Maple Street, Fayetteville, Arkansas. The collection of papers
has not been separated or classified.
Robert Sparks Walker, Chattanooga, Tennessee, writes under date of April 29, 1942, as follows:
May I ask if you know whatever became of Miss Oleta Littleheart, Sulphur, Oklahoma? In 1909, she wrote a book, The Lure of the Indian Country, published by A. Abbott, Sulphur, Oklahoma, and sent me a copy for review when I was editor of the Southern Fruit Grower.7
George Hunt, Indian historian and one of the outstanding leaders of the Kiowas, died April 16, 1942 at his home near Mountain
View, Oklahoma. He was born somewhere in the Wichita Mountains near Lawton, sixty-three years ago, in the days before his
tribe had permanent homes. He grew up at a time when life was changing rapidly for the Indians and early recognized the value
of preserving the old traditions and legends of his people. Embracing Christianity early in life he was a pioneer among mission
interpreters of Christian preaching to the Indians. For a number of years he had lectured in the eastern states on Baptist
Indian missions. Some time ago he spent a month in Ohio and spoke to audiences in twenty-two cities in the interest of the
United Missionary Budget of the Northern Baptist Convention. A deacon of the Kiowa Baptist Church of Rainy Mountain, Oklahoma,
wherever he went he took occasion to thank Northern Baptists for sending missionaries to the Kiowa Indians. His tribute to
the missionaries who brought the Gospel to the tribes in western Oklahoma is given here in part:
Page 284
To take the gospel to the untamed tribes of Indians in the Southwest was not an easy task. They came and lived among us, ate
what we ate, lived in tepees as we lived and in time the wild Indian began to realize that these missionaries had a true religion
and brotherly love and we began to find happiness in Christianity.
Those early missionaries came to a difficult country, with a mountain range to climb often in blinding blizzards and unsufferable
cold or blistering heat. They did not live in vain.8
He was also an interpreter for the Fort Sill Army Post. When the Kiowa reservation was surveyed he served as a "chain man"
on the first surveying crew. Besides various compilations of his own in the field of Indian history, he collaborated with
Col. W. S. Nye in writing Carbine and Lance.9

Hi Andrew,
I installed htdig 3.0.8b2 and I try to run it. However, all binaries
in the installed bin/ directory give a segmentation fault, except for
htnotify. It compiled without errors/warnings.
I run Linux 2.0.10 on a i486DX4, and gcc version 2.7.2. I would really
like to use htdig, so any help would be greatly appreciated.
By the way, I scanned the htdig archives, where similar problems were
reported. I could not find a solution, however.
Any clues on why the segmentation faults occur?
Many thanks in advance,
Ferry van het Groenewoud

What's going on here?
Last September, Bill Gates admitted that he doesn't know if the school reform initiatives that he is massively funding will work. To be precise, he said during an interview at Harvard University:
"It would be great if our education stuff worked, but that we won't know for probably a decade."
And shortly after that, he said pretty much the same thing a Clinton Global Initiative event.
That was pretty stunning, given the fact that Gates has plowed so much money to his idea of school reform — including the bad idea of evaluating teachers based on student test scores — and that he keeps talking about initiatives, such as the Common Core State Standards, as if he knows for sure they will improve public education.
Now, John King, commissioner of education in New York, has, perhaps inadvertently, done the same thing.
King has been unwavering in his push to implement controversial standardized test-based reforms in New York, and on Thursday, he gave a speech, with Education Secretary Arne Duncan in attendance, in which he spoke about how vitriolic the education reform debate has become and why the state must carry on with the reform program he has sent in motion.
Despite the botched Common Core implementation in the state, and despite the fact that Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) and the state legislature criticized the way the Core was implemented and took some steps to change it, King insisted on continuing down the road he is on:
"We're not going backwards. We're not retreating."
But he said something that you could say is a rather incredible — and infuriating — admission:
Time will tell whether the current mix of measures – from state tests and Regents exams to graduation rates and student portfolios – provide the best indicators of college and career readiness. But the idea that we don't really need accountability is unacceptable. It's an abdication of responsibility. We've been hired to educate the children of New York – all the children of New York – no matter how poor or how challenged or how difficult their home life. Every single child deserves an effective education and the parents and taxpayers who hired us have a right to know whether we are getting the job done. And — if New York is not getting it done – then I am accountable. We are all accountable. That's the bargain at the heart of public education.
Time will tell?
Time will tell whether the current mix of measures provide the best indicators of college and career readiness?
He isn't sure that what he is putting forth is the best "mix of measures" but he remains insistent on implementing a wildly expensive reform program that has serious opposition in his state. In fact, just Friday morning, dozens of principals marched with parents, teachers, students, administrators and staff in New York City to express dissatisfaction with the Common Core-aligned tests that students took recently.
In his Thursday speech, King said that the reform process has been open and transparent and that everyone has had a voice — but the demonstrators wouldn't agree with any of that.
King went on to suggest that there are some people — presumably people who disagree with his approach — who think that "we don't really need accountability." His critics don't think anything of the sort; they just don't believe what King is doing is the right approach.
As for who might actually not believe in the same accountability for everybody, just take a look at Florida lawmakers who don't want to force schools that accept voucher students to have to take the same standardized tests — for accountability purposes — as public school students.
If someone made this all up, you wouldn't believe it.

SAP indicated this week that they are getting serious about Software as a Service (SaaS), and announced an upgrade to their Business ByDesign ERP package offering. They are marketing the software at their version of "mid-tier," companies with one-hundred to five-hundred users (and even more employees), which means revenues in the range, probably, of $100M up. The article SAP co-CEO: Business ByDesign 'is not a fantasy' covers the details well.
I am not an "SAP guy," admittedly. I have much more familiarity with the Oracle line of products - not bias, necessarily, just familiarity. So it was very interesting looking at what SAP has been up to. I have to say, ByDesign looks interesting.
SAP is the Big Beast in the software application space. It is understood that if you implement SAP, you run according to their rules. SAP has been around for a while, and the software is designed to run in your data center on Big Iron - mainframes and other big computers. SAP is not for the faint of heart. So, to have SAP available without having to put in place a huge data center with a team of system administrators and analysts is intriguing.
In my opinion, SaaS is the direction applications are going. Most companies have no need to buy and maintain their own data center. It is almost like buying and maintaining their own power plant or water works. Yes, there are lots of caveats to running SaaS applications versus in-house applications, but as things mature, more and more of your computing will be rented.
Most people are already using some sort of SaaS application. GMail, Hotmail, Yahoo mail, and other web-based email providers are Software as a Service. You are not maintaining your own email server. Many, if not a majority, of the blogs that are out there are hosted by companies such as Blogger, Wordpress, Posterous, etc. Sure, you could get a server and install Wordpress or Typepad, but it is a lot easier just to log on to a hosted blog provider and let them deal with the infrastructure details. Google has Google Apps, which are pretty robust "desktop" applications. So it is only natural that companies will follow individuals and start to use SaaS.
I find it telling that SAP had issues rolling out ByDesign - and in fact, it is running for only one hundred "charter" (read "beta") customers. I imagine that the charter customers had some interesting times! SAP had a hard time making the application scale up, at least scale up cost-effectively. Up until this release, ByDesign was one customer, one instance of SAP. With this release, SAP is adding "multi-tenancy," which means that they can run multiple customers on a single instance of SAP. This sounds simple, but is incredibly hard. You have to make sure that each customer's data and software configurations are available only to the customer and no one else, and that there is no risk of mixing customers' data together. SAP was not initially written to do that, so they had to modify ByDesign to allow this to happen. SaaS applications like Salesforce.com are designed from the get-go for multi-tenancy, since they knew they were going there when they started.
Customers should never know if they are on shared infrastructure. Moving from a dedicated instance to a shared instance should be glitch-free from a customer perspective, but it is huge for SAP. They can vastly reduce their infrastructure costs. This is the whole point of SaaS, by the way: leverage infrastructure and software costs across a number of customers, thus reducing costs to each customer while increasing profitability overall. SAP can charge somewhat less for ByDesign than an on-premise version of SAP would cost, and yet make more money from the deal. The customer wins, because they avoid the infrastructure investment.
It is disappointing that SAP has targeted ByDesign for larger mid-sized companies, but it is SAP, after all. That said, if I were running a company of the target size, and I planned on implementing SAP, I would definitely do a "bake off" between the ByDesign product and SAP's Business All-in-One, their on-premise mid-sized offering, looking at the following criteria:
1. Functionality of each version. Availability of modules. Which version better supports our business?
2. Full cost of each solution over a ten year period. All costs - software, data center overhead, servers, storage, networking, support, staff, and consulting. Look at projected company growth. I'd have the finance people look at capitalization versus operating expenses.
3. Risk factors, such as regulatory compliance, potential data cross-contamination, and security. A risk of SaaS is that your data is on someone else's servers. This is not as bad as it sounds, but it is a risk. Also look at the risks of on-premise software and hardware. A bad leak in the data center or an earthquake could put the company out of business, whereas with SaaS, I could run the business (or at least access the business software) from Starbucks. SAP's data center is going to be better than yours.
4. Finally, as a sanity check, reassess how likely SAP is to stay the course with ByDesign. It could be great, but if they decide to pull the plug, what happens, and how? This is actually a good exercise to do no matter what vendor you are looking at. What if they get bought or go bankrupt? Ideally, a remedy would be in or added to the contract.
This upgrade shows me that SAP is serious about SaaS, that they had some serious obstacles to overcome, and that they are taking the time necessary to get it right. For those reasons, I would say that if you are considering SAP as your ERP application, or are doing an ERP software selection between Oracle and SAP, you really need to look at ByDesign as a potential. SaaS is a reality, and when old-guard SAP is embracing it, you have to take it seriously.

15 Signs There's Going To Be A Second Date
We aren't psychic: there's no absolute way to predict whether a first date will lead to a second. But if any of the following things happen on your date, the chances of seeing each other again are pretty good…
1. She doesn't take out her cellphone once! Well. Maybe once. And maybe another time, secretly while she's waiting in line for the bathroom, to text her friend that it's going "really well!" But no more than that!
2. He tentatively says, "How are you holding up? Cause, I mean, I could do another drink … should we do one more round?"
3. An hour and a half into the date, you realize you're having fun — not strained, "This date is going well so far" acceptability, but an actual good time.
4. Your coffee date takes an unexpected turn when your date realizes you're just around the corner from their favorite record store/sticky bun shop/second hand bookshop/bar, which they insist "you have to try/see."
5. After the date, he texts you the same night to make sure you got home okay/tell you he had a great time.
6. She touches your arm, brushes your leg, hooks her elbow through yours while walking, holds your hand, or kisses you.
7. You make references to a movie or concert you both really want to see, a museum you've been meaning to check out, or a bar that recently opened. (Though maybe you don't outright say it, you're both aware that you're laying the groundwork for what will eventually end up being your second date activity.)
8. Your date orders coffee after dinner/dessert. (No one ever orders coffee on a bad date.)
9. If you stay on one conversation topic for a long time, it's because you find the conversation to be genuinely interesting, and not because you're simply relieved to have found something easy to talk about and want to get as much mileage out of it as you can before you're forced to fill the awkward silence with another random topic.
10. He offers to walk or drive you home. Conversely, she says yes when you offer to walk or drive her home. ("Oh, no, that's okay … I'm fine." is not a good sign.)
11. You both take turns asking each other questions, beyond the perfunctory ,"What do you do/Where did you grow up/What do you watch on TV?" questions. The date isn't a one-way interrogation.
12. It's not an abrupt ending. The evening winds down at a natural, maybe even prolonged pace, NOT with a sudden excuse about "work in the morning" or "getting home to walk the dog."
13. He's leaning into you while you talk. She's crossing her legs towards you. If you're in a loud bar, you move closer to be heard instead of just talking louder.
14. When she comes back from the bathroom, you notice she's let down her hair or reapplied makeup. (If she wasn't interested in you or thought the date was ending soon, she probably wouldn't bother.)
15. One of you makes a reference to the fact that it's a good date while you're still on the date. ("I was actually nervous about meeting you!" is not something you'd confess to someone you have no interest in seeing again.)

Empty Boxes
Well, it's been a while! Pixel and Zuko found this dusty old empty comic lying around, and like any other kind of boxes left untended, it's theirs now! I can't tell you what their update schedule will be, they are cats after all. The do things in their own time. I'm sure whatever it is, it'll be better than mine!
Please take notice of that nifty new font used for the comic title. That would be the "Almost Normal" true type font, created by your truly from my very own handwriting! It was part of my final project for my Digital Coloring and Lettering class. The next two Fridays will see two new Almost Normal strips, also done as final projects for that class. You may notice some subtle changes to my coloring methods.
So, what else is new in Almost Normal land? I'm an intern at Free Lunch Comics in Granby, CT this summer! I've been keeping a separate blog for it and have quite a bit of artwork posted there. By the end of the summer I will have completed two 24 page comic books through the studio!
I've also been participating in the 100 Days 2011 project! I've been doing a doodle a day for over 70 days straight now and posting them at my 100 Days of Doodles blog. The earlier ones from before I started my internship are a lot more detailed than the later ones, so start from the beginning on them!
Finally, I'll be entering my Senior Year at SCAD this September! It's time for me to buckle down and get serious about my comic work. This strip is going to be part of that process. I look forward to exploring where it goes from here with all of you who are still along for the ride!

text: Hi everyone, last weekend I had cruise fitted to my 1.8T 190PS 6 speed manual. I've wanted it for a while because I've heard it improves economy slightly and also I figured I could use it through heavy speed camera areas e.g. London north circular, motorway roadworks etc... er and also I can't resist new toys and gadgets. A guy from these forums stratty31 fitted it (OEM parts) for £150 less than AmD quoted me, he's a nice guy and easily fitted it with no probs in about 45 minutes. The cruise is pretty sweet and a nice intuitive system, plus it works well with my particular engine 'cause it's got good torque spread and even lets me cruise at 30mph in 6th at barely above tickover! I'm not sure if this is good for the engine or not but it's quiet and I can't hear it labouring. If you're interested for the same reasons as me or maybe you want it to use with a switchable ECU upgrade then it's worth PM-ing him.

Czech Republic v Republic of IrelandPrague
Wednesday, 12 September
Kick-off: 1930 BST
Coverage on BBC Radio 5live & the BBC Sport website.
Republic of Ireland boss Steve Staunton looks certain to recall Andy Reid for Wednesday's Euro 2008 qualifier against the Czech Republic in Prague.
Stephen Ireland is missing because of a family bereavement and Reid is expected to step into the central midfield role.
Kevin Doyle and Richard Dunne have been passed fit after suffering knocks in Saturday's 2-2 draw with Slovakia.
The Czechs are without suspended striker Jan Koller but Milan Baros is likely to start after a back injury.
"The conditions on Saturday definitely wouldn't have suited Andy (Reid) but he is such a talent he can conjure a goal up out of anything or play that killer pass," said Staunton.
"I think this pitch will suit our players as much as theirs.
"They are a very good footballing side but I like to think our lads are growing and they are used to playing on good pitches."
Ireland flew back to the Republic on Sunday after learning of the death of his grandmother shortly after the Bratislava qualifier, in which he scored.
Staunton also goes into the crucial Group D game without injured pair Steve Finnan and Darren Potter.
The Republic trail the second-placed Czechs by three points with Germany topping the group.
What are these?

GRETAR Steinsson is poised for a recall as Owen Coyle tries to muster an immediate response from his side at Newcastle United.
The Icelandic defender is likely to come in at right-back, with Marcos Alonso making way from the back four that finished the 3-0 defeat to Fulham on Saturday.
Alonso ended a torrid afternoon by picking up a calf injury – but he was not alone in showing the signs of recent stresses and strains.
And with the fixture schedulers dealing Wanderers a difficult hand – they have had 24 hours less to prepare for this afternoon's game – Coyle said he would have shuffled his pack regardless of the result at the Reebok.
"I think even if we'd have won the game there would still be a need to make a couple of changes," he said. "Given the result, there is a lot to take stock of.
"It's fair to say it will be a test for everyone because Newcastle have had an extra day.
"I don't think it has been very fair on us but all we can do is deal with it as best as we can.
"We need to get the defeat out of our system because it's not a particularly nice feeling."
Chris Eagles, Kevin Davies and Marvin Sordell are also in contention for a start at St James' Park, where Alan Pardew's side are on a high following four consecutive victories.
"It's certainly a big test," Coyle said. "They are a team going for a Champions League place.
"But we will decide our destiny and whether we stay in the Premier League. To do that, we have to go to tough places and get results."

I would like to thank my bicycle
Abbey Beal - Los Angeles, CA
After moving to Eugene, Oregon for graduate school in the summer of 2012, I finally transitioned from car-dependent to bike-mobile. Little did I know that acquiring a bike to get me to and from campus would have such a positive and lasting impact on my life. I have always understood and appreciated the fundamental benefits of encouraging people to ride bikes instead of drive a car, but I had yet to understand the transformational change it can have on the individual.
My daily commute ignited a passion inside me, as I began to see how bikes could change the way people value and move through their communities. My bike began to symbolize a powerful source of change in the fight against global warming, air and noise pollution, and America's love affair with cars. It has since been my goal to help others see the world from the unique perspective of a bicycle, and to understand that riding a bike can combat numerous environmental and social issues.
Discovering the simply beauty of the bicycle has changed the way I live and view my life. My bike emancipates my mind, innovates my physical being, and rejuvenates my soul. It is on my bike that I have confronted my biggest demons, and discovered my inner peace.
It is with the deepest gratitude that I thank my bicycle, for helping me rediscover the world.blog comments powered by Disqus

The NAR reported pending home sales increased 10.4% in October 2010. According to RealtyTrac, foreclosure sales decreased 25% in the 3rd quarter of 2010. Statistics from the Labor Department showed jobless claims rose 6.3% the previous week. Greg Lippmann of LibreMax Capital predicted national home prices would drop another 10%.

Senator Volker Announces Senate Confirmation Of Nancy Naples As Commissioner Of The N.y.s. Department Of Motor Vehicles
(Albany, NY) Senator Dale M. Volker today announced that the New York State Senate has confirmed former Erie County Comptroller Nancy A. Naples as Commissioner of the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles. Commissioner Naples replaces Raymond Martinez who resigned several weeks ago.
"I consider Governor Pataki nominating Nancy Naples as Commissioner of the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles one of the finest appointments that he has ever done," said Senator Dale M. Volker. "As former Erie County Comptroller, she was never afraid to buck the political system and communicated to the public the truth about county finances during difficult times. I am confident that Commissioner Naples will direct the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles with the same zeal and compassion, and I look forward to working with her in her new capacity."
Commissioner Naples has impeccable credentials. From 1994-2005, she served as the Chief Financial Officer for New York State's second largest county overseeing a $1.1 billion budget. From 1989- 1994, she was Vice President of Finance and Operations of Joseph J. Naples & Associates, a family-owned surety bond, worker's compensation and insurance agency serving over 2000 corporate and individual clients, generating premiums of over $65 million annually. Additionally, from 1974-1988, Commissioner Naples worked in the Banking industry, in several senior management positions, where she demonstrated strong analytical and managerial experience. She has also been an active civic leader who has guided Boards of Directors in political, health care, community and education and artistic endeavors.

Made For A Woman, But Gentle And Anti-Aunty Flo Enough For A Man
Seasonique, the birth control pill that makes women menstruate only four times a year, is being marketed to men. Ads have appeared in laddie magazine Maxim, which is known for its frat-bro attitude and bikini clad spreads, and Spike TV, the channel dedicated to a Late Night Strip Poll. Apparently, the execs marketing Seasonique think guys who like those brands are getting laid, but they're trying to stop them from spawning. Those men — who are seemingly fascinated by a poop that can kill — are surprisingly grossed out by Aunt Flo coming to stay five days out of the month. Maybe that's why Seasonique is hoping to get these men to talk to the women in their lives about using their form of birth control. Although the dudes may think they're in some great hush-hush scheme to banish Aunt Flo, the joke is on them since the same ads are also running on Lifetime. Ha! Ain't nothing gonna cramp a ladies' ability to choose her own birth control. Period! [Marie Claire]

Washington (AFP) Jan 16, 2009
A record cold snap gripped the American Midwest Friday as temperatures plummeted to lows of minus 30 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 34 degrees Celsius) and officials scrambled to protect the homeless and vulnerable.
The cold was the result of an arctic blast that descended from Canada and settled across the upper Midwest, said National Weather Service meteorologist Bill Wilson.
"The wind patterns are like this during the winter," he said. "Some winters it gets cold. Some winters it gets extreme. This is what we term extreme."
The temperatures were the coldest since 1999 in Illinois and since 1994 in some parts of Ohio and Indiana.
Temperatures of minus 32 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 36 degrees Celsius) overnight were recorded in Rockford, Illinois, breaking a record set in 1983, Wilson said.
The front was expected to move east in coming days and bring similar bone-chilling temperatures to the East Coast.
Relief may be a long way off, however, as temperatures remained locked below zero (minus 17 Celsius) Friday and weren't expected to break above 32 degrees Fahrenheit (zero Celsius) until later next week, according to the National Weather Service.
In Canada the polar freeze was not any kinder as the extreme cold caused flooding in Montreal and left 100,000 people in Toronto without power or heating for over 12 hours, as temperatures stood frozen at zero degrees Fahrenheit (minus 18 Celsius).
The severe cold forced scores of school closures, prompted people to leave their homes for warming centers and saw cadres of volunteers and government officials take to the streets across affected states to ensure the homeless and vulnerable were not stuck in the deadly winter freeze.
Homeless shelters, jammed even beyond capacity because of surging home foreclosures that has produced a significant rise in the numbers of homeless people, looked for churches and other social service agencies to open their doors to make room.
Eddy Bazile, executive director of the Fort Wayne, Indiana Rescue Mission reported his facility had seen a 100 percent increase in occupancy over the last few days.
"I believe there is a surge in need just about everywhere," Bazile said.
In Cleveland, Ohio officials converted recreation centers into warming centers, and issued cold-weather alerts to roughly 100,000 elderly residents, according to the mayor's office spokeswoman Andrea Taylor.
"People are used to the cold here, but they're saying that it hasn't been this cold in years," Taylor said.
Chicago is operating six warming centers, including one open 24 hours a day, and authorities are checking on at least 3,000 residents considered most at risk, said Anne Sheahan, spokeswoman for Chicago Department of Family and Support Services.
"We have some challenges with our homeless population as some people refuse to come in from the cold. That's probably the hardest thing for us to deal with. They're adults, so we can't make them."
Temperatures plummeted in Flint, Michigan, forcing all the city's schools to close, according to Police Chief David Forystek. At midday the temperature was seven degrees Fahrenheit (-14 Celsius) Friday, or 13 degrees below zero (-25 Celsius) factoring in the wind chill.
Flint's local energy company had also postponed cutting power to residents who have fallen behind on their bills, added Forystek,
"That's a private industry thing, but it's a sign of how cold it really is," Forystek said.
"We are used to temperatures in the 20s (minus six to one degree Celsius) and 30s (one to four degrees Celsius), but it's not very often we see the temperature fall to 19 degrees below zero (minus 28 Celsius)."

The tragedy that took more than 1,500 lives, 100 years ago has presented San Diego with multiple opportunities to commemorate the events as a community. As the San Diego Natural History Museum opened the anticipatory "Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition" in February, many have been voyaging to Balboa Park to walk the footsteps of those who once boarded the world's largest ocean liner.
Now, The Prado introduces a Titanic Centennial First Class Dinner, providing a replica of the evening prior to the sinking of the mega-ship. On April 14 at 6pm, The Prado will transform into an authentic Titanic experience, complete with a 10-course meal reminiscent of the 1912 occasion, music, and a guided monologue from Barbara Chronowski, an actress who portrayed a Titanic survivor in the 1997 film.
Guests will flaunt their finest garb in the Grand Ballroom as waiters in white tuxedo jackets seat all for the main event: the meal. Flavors will swirl through The Prado, as Chef Jonathan Hale cooks up ten courses reflective of the history from the Titanic's sailing, pairing five wines with the cuisine. Stand-out dishes include Oysters for starters, Poached Salmon with Mousseline Sauce, a Chicken Lyonnaise, Lamb with Mint Sauce, Pate de Foie Gras, and Waldorf Pudding.
A piano quintet will play era-specific music, as Barbara Chronowski presents her monologue based on first-hand encounters. After the meal, explore "Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition" at the San Diego Natural History Museum, with doors open until 3am.
The event marks 100 years since the ship's sinking on April 15, 1912, and gives San Diego a unique chance to play a part in its history. Tickets are limited to 100 people, priced at $212 at buypradotickets.com

So apparently I've been living under a rock for the past year or so, and I just found out that my favorite conditioner of all time, Redken All Soft, was reformulated to contain cyclopentasiloxane and dimethicone! I stocked up last summer during Beauty Brand's liter sale, and I must have gotten all old formula, since the only non-CG thing on my labels is amodimethicone. And now it's probably too late to find any old-formula product to stock up on, since it seems the reformulation happened at least a year ago. Waaaah! I've been using that stuff for at least 10 years and it does things for my hair that I've never found in any other conditioner. I can't believe I'm going to have to stop using it. i have about 1/2 liter left and that's it. :( :( :( Poor me.
OK, vent over! On to hunt for new products. Any recommendations for a conditioner that is very moisturizing with lots of slip and yet still somewhat lightweight? To give you ideas, Biolage conditioning balm and AOHR and AOWC are all too heavy for me, but Suave and V05 are too light to use for rinse out condish. I tried Redken Fresh Curls but it's not moisturizing enough. TIA for any suggestions.

Things to Do
Outside the city
Sydney is a big, sprawling city, and it can take hours to get out of it, particularly if you avoid the toll ways. But the city is worth escaping, as wonderful as it is, because much of the country around Sydney being on the more gorgeous side of gorgeous. NSW is surely one of world's more geographically blessed regions.
To the south of Sydney lies the imaginatively titled South Coast, which is dotted with small towns - mostly picturesque - along with rolling farming country, and lots of pretty beaches. The major center is Wollongong, an old steel town (though most of its factories are closed now). If you are looking for a pretty little town filled to bursting with cute cafes and craft stores, try Berry; while good beaches are found, for instance, at Gerringong – though most beaches around these parts are both pretty and relatively unspoilt.
To the North of Sydney lies the Hawkesbury/Pittwater, a strikingly beautiful riverine estuary. If you have a chance,
see it by boat
; if not, you'll see it from the train window, and there are good views from the highway as well. Further along the coast is the Central Coast, an area of dull towns not really worth visiting, unless you have a relative who lives there or something. Head further north, however, and you will discover the glories of the mid-North Coast. Some of the beaches in the area of Forster-Tuncurry are simply astonishingly beautiful. Try, for instance, Blueys Beach. You'll need a car to get there, but if you have the time and money, stay a week. You'll remember it forever.
Heading inland, you'll find the Blue Mountains, home to Katoomba, Sydney's grooviest, most laidback neighbor, and capital of the Blue Mountains region. Katoomba it makes a good base for the area, while further inland is Blackheath, a similarly laid-back, but somewhat smaller, village. The Blue Mountains area has much of Sydney's best walking, and is home to the glorious Three Sisters, vast monolithic outcrops overlooking a deep valley, the Jamison. The view is stunning and worth the trip. There are also a number of
organized tours of various durations
that depart for the area from central Sydney.

Best Of :: Shopping & Services
T.I. had to learn the hard way, but trust us when we tell you not to purchase your weaponry off the street. Sure, it'd be hard for a multiplatinum artist to fly under the radar when doing some illegal ish, but even Tom, Dick, and Harry can't be promised a smooth getaway. So where do you go to replenish your arsenal? Sunshine Air Guns and Collectibles has all of your rat-tat-tat needs covered. The shop specializes in new and vintage air guns of every design — whether you're in the mood for a Hunter Pro ($259.99) or a Baby Desert Eagle ($42), S A&C has what you need. Since 2001, owner Jorge A. Chavez has acquainted the Magic City with exotic weaponry, and some of the items in the store are from his own collection. "I started out in this business because I used to go to gun shows and people would always ask me if I was selling my pieces," Chavez explains. "Now, in addition to those, we also sell vintage guns that are very hard to find." This guy is a pro, so he can surely help you pick out a lil' NightStalker that won't knock you off of your feet with its recoil.
Courtney Williams is rummaging through a bottom cabinet inside Project 51 in Coconut Grove. He pulls out an alien-looking boot in a moss green, violet purple, and night black color motif. The heavyset sneaker pimp proudly holds up a Nike Convoy Huarache basketball shoe, circa 1993. "I had a pair just like these when I was a kid," Williams explains. "I dogged them out. I found this pair two years ago on eBay." Ten months ago, Williams converted his sneaker love into a business, opening up the first specialty store of its kind in the Grove. "I was going to open on the Beach," Williams says, "but then I realized the Grove didn't have anything like this." Indeed, Project 51 is like walking into a candy store, except the sweets are the multicolored Adidas, Nike, Puma, and Supra athletic shoes lined up on the rainbow-hued shelves. "I'm a sneaker collector," Williams says enthusiastically. "I collect them like crazy. You are not gonna find these shoes at Foot Locker or Champs." And his eye for exclusive kicks can't be doubted. He has stocked the limited-edition ?uestlove gold pack Nike Dunks. The Portland sneaker maker produced only 200 of them. "Those sold out quick," Williams notes. But there are still plenty of other tight sneakers to choose from, including a nice selection of skateboard sneakers by Supra, which have gained notoriety since Lil Wayne has been sporting them. Of course, buying a sweet pair of kicks requires that you find an equally dope T-shirt to match the ensemble. Project 51 has you covered there too, carrying underground labels such as Kidrobot, 10.Deep, DGK, and Crew. You can check out Project 51 Monday through Wednesday from noon to 9 p.m. and Thursday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m.
Maybe you make this mistake. Every year during the holiday season, you shop for gifts for your friends and family at the places you like to shop, instead of the places they shop. We do this all the time, and usually we wind up at Base. The place is a one-stop shop for the hip-junkies of any type who need their fix. For kiddies, there's a wide array of vinyl designer toys. For music lovers, there's a well-curated "music bar" stocked with the latest dance mixes and chilled-out albums. For folks with bare coffee tables, there's a never-ending supply of books that would look amazing on them. There are clothes, shoes, perfumes, jewelry, DVDs, accessories, furniture, art, and other random items. It's kind of amazing all of this fits into such a small space. But be warned — this place isn't for everyone. Grandma never did put up that complete collection of Dunnys we got her. And Mom hasn't even opened the book we gave her three years ago about the Dadaist movement. So, we've made peace with the fact that our family isn't as fashionable as we'd hoped. Nowadays, we get them Chili's gift cards and hope for money in return so we can shop at Base for ourselves.
Face it. Not everyone is suffering from the effects of the economic downturn. For people looking to still spend cash indiscriminately on high-end clothing without looking like a complete jackass for dressing ostentatiously in these hard times, the Adidas Y-3 store in the Design District might be their best bet. Japanese designer Yohji Yamamoto pairs up with the German sports apparel brand to create clothing that is simple yet gorgeously designed — think athletic and casual clothing that's too nice to actually work out in. Most items are priced well above $100, so there is no bargain shopping here. And because the exclusive Y-3 stores aren't scattered around the country like your neighborhood American Apparel, fashion repeats are virtually nil.
OK, fellas, if you want to get into Louis or Mynt, both on Collins Avenue, pleated khakis and an Oxford are not gonna cut it. We suggest you jettison your faux pas style while cruising Biscayne Boulevard and pull into U.D. Stylelab Miami, the perfect one-stop boutique for banging jeans, T-shirts, hats, CDs, jewelry, toys, and gadgets. This place takes pride in stocking wares you are not going to find at any other fashion boutiques around town. We recommend that you buy a sick pair of Anama jeans and match them up with a wicked tee by Envy Evolution, Kid Dangerous, or Alkemy. Then add a couple of slamming accessories, such as that Goorin Bros. plaid brim and a pair of Forero cuffs — pounded and riveted bracelets made of mid-century metal found in salvage yards. But be ready to drop some coin. Clothes and accessories start around $60. Jeans average between $97 and $275. If you're lucky, you'll score something cool off one of the boutique's sale racks, which at times have items for 70 percent off. U.D. Stylelab is open Monday through Wednesday from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., Thursday from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m., Friday and Saturday from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m., and Sunday from noon to 9 p.m.
So, after years of breaking up and then making up, you've decided she's the girl for you. Now you must find that sparkling diamond engagement ring that is gonna make her say, "Hell, yeah!" We suggest you take a trip to the Seybold Building in downtown Miami, where more than 280 jewelers are ready to help you make sure you don't mess up and come home with something that resembles a trinket out of a Cracker Jack box. Built by Miami pioneer John William Gottloeb Seybold in 1914, the building has entrances on Flagler and First streets. Once inside, you'll have to squint a bit to overcome all the glistening baubles on display. The Seybold Building is the second-largest jewelry building in the United States. You will find an unparalleled selection of diamond rings where jewelers value quality over quantity. For more than 30 years, millions of people have turned to the jewelers inside the Seybold Building to help them find the perfect gifts for the significant people in their lives. Or maybe you feel like buying the diamond and having the ring made. Well, amid the 200 tiny workshops and boutiques, you will find spaces occupied by diamond cutters, gem setters, and gold dealers who can help you make a unique ring. For example, you could visit diamond dealer H&Y Diamonds on the tenth floor, where you can find rough and cut rocks from across the globe. After selecting a fantastic stone, take the elevator one floor down, where setters such as Ernesto Ercilla will charge you $2.50 to mount small stones or from $25 to $35 to set a two-carat stone. And if you don't want the hassle of searching for a parking spot, there's valet service. The Seybold is open Monday through Saturday from 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
