Switched from a SMOK to to the UWELL and really glad I did. Love this tank.
Posted by Jeremy H. on
UWELL had issuen the past with coils for both the Original Crown and the Crown 2, but I can honestly say that this Crown mini is the real deal. Every bit as good as the original with great coils. This tank is built great, has excellent flavor, good vapor production and is simple. It's exactly what I was hoping it would be. The smaller form factor allows it to be much stealthier, fit on extra devices like the Pico which I had in mind from the moment UWELL announced it. I particularly like the shorter, but same wide bore drip tip. Even with the smaller capacity, it's extremely easy to refill with a unicorn or squeeze bottle. I love it. Big flavor and vapor in a smaller, sleeker package at a very good price. Perfect example of" If it ain't broke, don't fix it, just tweak it" You will absolutely not be disappointed. As always, awesome service and ultra fast shipping from VapeRoyalty. They will go above and beyond to satisfy customers. I have placed multiple orders with them over the past year and am very happy with how they treated me each and every time. Great prices and they treat people like we are the reason they exist. I will be a loyal customer for a long time as they are the cream of the crop for vape gear.
Posted by GWilli on
Amazing tank! Everything that was great on the original crown, but even better. I'm a big fan of mini tanks, especially for smaller mods, and this has already become one of my favorites.

- Runner is hand-knotted of 100-percent wool

Story Behind the Art:
Baluch rugs are tribal hand-woven rugs made in the southern part of Iran by nomadic Baluch tribes. The majority of Baluch rugs are woven in the province Sistan-Baluchistan, which sits on the extreme Southeast boundaries of Iran. A lot of Baluch rugs also came out of Iran's vast province of Khorassan which is just to the north. Colors of Baluch rugs are usually predominantly a rich burgundy with some very dark navy blue and accents of ivory. They frequently have either an overall pattern, or a prayer rug design. Any Baluch Persian rug is one of a kind and has absolutely no duplicates anywhere in the world.
What is Worldstock?
The handcrafted touch of artisan skill creates variations in color, size and design. If buying two of the same item, slight differences should be expected. Note: Color discrepancies may occur between this product and your computer screen.

Nice Rug for the money
I recieved this rug just days after ordering. The measurements are exactly as described. When I first received it, it looked different. The pattern is not the same as the picture, but is understandable as I'm sure no two are alike. The rug isn't as bright as the photo shown - colors are more muted. I put this rug in my bathroom in front of the double sinks. I really love it. I only wish it came in other sizes.Read More
Balouchi runner
Rug's colors are deep and rich, not dull--consistent with appearance on my monitor. Style and pile are rustic, typical of the hand-loomed "primitive" nomadic/prayer rugs of the region. Clearly handmade and relatively inexpensive. However, not intended for those seeking a plush wool, deep pile rug. Perfect for entryway shoe-catching, which is how I'm using it.Read More
Would return, it for the hassle...
This was NOT a good purchase. We bought 2. The lengths were different from each other, and both shorter than specified. Both patterns resembled the picture to a degree, but one was very simple, and the other was still much more of a basic pattern than in the photo. The knots were big and loose, and the fringe on one was stained black, like the dye ran. They are really junky. If they were $30 each they would be a decent purchase, though still not a steal. I would definitely not buy these again, nor recommend.Read More
Not what I expected.
This rug was very thin,colors were not as described,looked very cheap.I did not like it even as a inexpensive door rug. I returned it immediately.Ate the discount I received by shipping it back,so I lost money!Read More

By Jeremy Crabtree, Rivals.com
Teams searching for the best talent in the state of California are running out of players to recruit. Nine of the top 14 players in the Golden State have already made commitments, with USC landing three of the top six, four of the top 10 and five of the top 12. But the good news for other teams is that there still are a few big time prospects still on the market.
The biggest in the bunch is four-star cover corner Donovan Warren of Long Beach Poly. The recruting race for the 6-foot, 175-pound cover-man has been an interesting one to follow.
In mid-July he said that USC was in the lead over schools like UCLA, Cal, Michigan, Oregon and several others.
"USC has a pretty solid lead right now, there really isn't a close No. 2 on my list after them," Warren said.
A few weeks later he reversed his course, saying he's now wide open and will give everybody a fair shake.
"I would say I have an unofficial top seven or eight. That would be Ohio State, USC, UCLA, Oregon, Cal, Arizona State and Michigan," Warren said. "Everything's real even to me right now. My focus isn't on one school at all. I'm just trying to keep it wide open at this point. I do like all of these schools, but no one has a big lead over anyone."
This fall, Warren says he will take at most two of his official visits during the season, choosing to go on the others once his season is finished. That does not mean, however, that he will not spend other Saturdays in college stadiums. With UCLA and USC in his backyard, you can expect the Trojans and Bruins to try hard to impress him on those weekends.
Frisco center wide open
Up in San Francisco, St. Ignatius College Prep offensive center Matt Summers-Gavin started out an almost unknown because his school is off the recruiting radar screen. But as more schools checked him out this summer and he went to camps, it became clear that his four-star ranking and Rivals100 status was well deserved.
While his ability was clear, his favorites were not.
Arizona State, California, Colorado, Georgia, Nebraska, Oregon and Oregon State were the first schools to step up and offer him. Then came a very coveted offer from Notre Dame. Summers-Gavin is scheduled to visit there for the Purdue game on September 29. He hopes USC will come through with an offer as well.
Still, Summers-Gavin said he's not sure what his future might hold.
"I haven't narrowed anything down yet," he said. "But my parents and I are starting to go over stuff and one school that keeps popping up is Notre Dame. I wouldn't call them a leader, but I'd say they have a pretty good chance. I'm still open and looking at all of them."
Harris looking at all options
One of the fastest risers this summer was Gardena, Calif., Serra defensive tackle DaJohn Harris. The 6-foot-4, 266-pound four-star defensive tackle performed well at a USC camp. He has quickly proven he deserves to be ranked among the elite defensive tackles in America.
With a who's who recruiting him, Harris said he's going to explore all of his options.
"I haven't come to a conclusion, but I think I will take three of my official visits to Miami, Nebraska and Michigan," he said. "I know it will probably be those three for sure."
USC is also a team that sits high on his list, and the Trojans are pushing him hard to keep him in Los Angeles. Cal, Oregon, UCLA, Oregon State and Washington are all places that could be in line for the final visit from him. It looks like he's going to drag the process out for awhile.
Harris' teammate at Serra, Apaiata Tuihalamaka, is also a highly coveted recruit. The 6-foot-3, 205-pound four-star linebacker is ranked as the No. 13 player in California by Rivals.com. While he does have some major national offers, it looks like he's leaning more toward staying in the Pac-10. He recently visited Cal, Oregon, Oregon State and Washington with Harris, and the visit made his decision even more difficult.
"All of them stood out," he said. "I'm very interested. I'm happy that I made this trip. It's going to make my decision harder, but nothing is easy in life. It'll make my decision harder to make because there's so many things to offer from each school.
"All of the schools who offered me a scholarship are recruiting me hard. Arizona State, University of Arizona, Nebraska, Miami, all of the SEC and Colorado have said they're interested in me. I thank them for the offers because it means a lot to me. Hopefully I make the right decision in time to put me in the right position to succeed."

It is hardly surprising that Newcastle fans today are still in some kind of shock, that we have managed to get Rafa Benitez to stay on at Newcastle, even though we are a second division side, but that should only be for one season.
In early March, things looked really bad when the squad had gone off on a week's holiday in the south of Spain.
Head coach Steve McClaren had promised everybody who would listen to him, that he would sort things out with the team following the humiliating 5-1 defeat at Chelsea.
Jamie Carragher – fantastic for Newcastle
Not only did our players not seem to try in that game, but they also didn't know what they should be doing on the pitch, so confused and humiliating was that display – one of the worst of any team in the Premier League last season.
But still Steve kept his job and at any other club he would have been fired the next day.
Then after 18 days of preparation, the next match was at Stoke City and Steve went all out for a 0-0 draw, but was unsuccessful and we lost 1-0.
After the game Steve still insisted we were unlucky not to get a draw.
Yeah – right.
And then we were taken apart at home by newly promoted Bournemouth 3-1 on the following Saturday and that was it on Steve McClaren.
After six days in came Rafa Benitez, but Rafa had left his white horse in Liverpool.
So even Rafa couldn't save us after McClaren had been given far too much time to turn things around, which he always said was just around the corner.
Rafa had us winning three games and drawing three in those last six games for 12 points, which turned out to be one third of our points total for the season in the last six games.
But we were still relegated.
Sky Sports pundit Jamie Carragher knows all about Rafa, having played for him for the full six years while Rafa was at Liverpool.
Jamie had a great game for the Reds in that famous win in the Champions League final in 2005 against AC Milan in Istanbul.
Jamie has hit the nail on the head in talking on talkSPORT today, and he points out it's just fantastic for Newcastle that Rafa has stayed – and the fans still cannot believe it:
"It is fantastic for Newcastle United."
"It shows the quality of the managers in the Premier League now, that someone with Rafa's expertise and trophies won is having to go to the Championship now to get a job."
"He could have a got a job anywhere I suppose but in terms of England now and the money in the Premier League, what he is thinking is one year in the Championship – and hopefully I can build Newcastle up to be a team competing for Champions League places."
"I think they are all still in shock – that Rafa actually took the job on the back of Real Madrid, but he is there and I am sure he will got a great job."
Let's hope Jamie is right on that, the last time we qualified for the Champions League was in season 2003-2004, Sir Bobby Robson's very last season at the club .
Comments welcome.

RANDOLPH TWP. "He says it slowly, almost as if he is getting used to it himself, "the youngest team in the county." Randolph lost 14 seniors, including seven starting position players, from last year's 17-10 team and there is only one senior starter on this year's club. "Two freshmen, two sophomores, four juniors and only one senior," Litichev sky said. "There isn't too much varsity experience out there."
"They are young, excited about the season and they love the game and they want to learn. They listen, they learn, they want to be a better baseball team today than they were yesterday. That is very important to them," he said.
"There are no attitude problems here. It's wonderful. It's a pleasure coaching them and this season should be a great experience for us all."
Before anybody turns up the volume on the "We Are Family" tape, however, it should be mentioned that Litichevsky also has a lot of talent on this youthful team.
Young, yes; talented, maybe a bigger, yes.
Top Pitcher
It starts with junior P.J. Canastrari, his number one pitcher and co- captain this year and almost everybody's all-everything first baseman last year. The 6-foo t-2, 180-pound lefthander made the most noise at the bat last season when he hit.390 with 11 homers and 30 RBIs.
"He has a good fastball, sneaky curve, great change and great control," Litichevsky said. "At bat last year, he was hitting less than .200 the first 10 games and then he just took off. He's probably the best athlete on the team and he's a Division 1 prospect. No "probably" about that."
The number two pitcher on the staff is junior Steve Gebhardt, a 6-3, 170-pound righthander whom Litichevsky says could be "one of the best pitchers around if he improves upon his concentration. He has a decent fastball, nice curve ball and a splitter that really drops. He had a good summer pitching and has the world of potential. He is just starting to learn how to be a pitcher."
Sophomore lefty Rhett Bradbury, a transfer from Coral Springs, Fla., has made the staff as the third starter. A fastball-curve-change pitcher, Litichevsky likes the way he changes speeds and location.
Freshman Marc Nigro, a righthander with a good fastball and curve and "a real nice change," is the number four starter.
Junior righthanders Brendon Keeler and Derek Virgilio will be used as spot starters and in relief when needed.
Talented Backstop
The superlatives start coming out again when Litichevsky starts talking about catcher Mike Harris, the team's other co-captain and the only senior starter back from last year's club.
"Mike is easily one of the top three catchers in Morris County," Litichevsky said. "He has great defensive skills, calls a good game, handles pitchers well and has an even stronger arm than last year. I don't think too many people will run on him. He hit in the .330s last year and is a lot stronger at bat this year. I think he is going to surprise a lot of people with his hitting."
Canastrari will be at first when he is not pitching and, when he is on the mound. Keeler or Bradbury will provide capable backup help.
Virgilio, a switchhitter who played jayvee and saw some varsity action last year, is the starting second baseman.
"Here's a talented kid who loves and really knows the game of baseball and should come into this own this year," Litichevsky said. "He has a strong arm, good range and has shown some power at bat. He's a real baseball player."
Junior Dave Opherkuch and senior Rodney Herbert will fill in at second when needed.
Nigro has impressed Litichevsky enough to land the third base job, freshman or not.
"He is a natural third baseman and has already made some great plays in scrimmages," Litichevsky said. "He's a contact hitter and I wouldn't be surprised to see him hit well, too."
Another freshman, Scott Lineback, all 5-7, 145 pounds of him, is the starting shortstop.
"Scott is small but has great hands, good range, a good arm, is quick, loves to hustle and is not afraid to leave his feet for the ball," Litichevsky said.
"He has a good eye at the plate and makes good contact."
In the outfield, junior Craig Loschman is in left, sophomore John Asaro is in center, and Bradbury, Keeler or senior John Bluver will be in right. Senior Ken Anton can fill in at any of the three outfield spots.
Loschman has been "hitting the ball very well for us so far and will probably bat fifth," Litichevsky said.
Asaro will be the Randolph leadoff hitter "for the next three years," said Litichevsky. "John is the fastest player I've had here in 16 years (13 varsity, three freshman) as a coach."
"We are teaching him to put the ball on the ground and bunt so we can get him on base to take advantage of his speed. He can make things happen. In the field, he has a good glove and gets a good jump on the ball. We're expecting him to do very well," the coach said.
Litichevsky also expects to get some varsity innings for sophomores David Youcker (1B, 3B), Anthony Cammarata (C, inf.) and Andrew Cardillo (P-OF) but they'll get most of their playing time with jayvee coach Jay Wolinski, "a great baseball man who has been with me since I started here," Litichevsky said.
Joe Lusardi is back for another year as Litichevsky's varsity assistant and Oscar Zavala and Glenn Holtzman are the freshman coaches.
"So far we like what we see," Litichevsky said. "It should be an interesting season."

Pres. Sirleaf flanked by Defense Min. Samukai and COS Ziankahn
AFL Performance Overwhelms Pres. Sirleaf
By Ballah M. Kollie
MONROVIA, February 11 (LINA) - President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf has extolled the Armed Forces of Liberia (AFL) for always rising to the occasion regardless of time, location, situation or condition.
She made the statement in her Armed Forces Day message delivered at the 60th anniversary celebration of the Force held at the Barclay Training Center in Monrovia.
President Sirleaf, who is also Commander-In-Chief of the AFL, reflected on the turbulent days of disturbance at the country's South-eastern border with neighboring La Cote d'Ivoire where the military swiftly moved in and executed "Operation Restore Hope", demonstrating the effectiveness of civilian and military
She described the AFL's 60th anniversary celebration as being two-fold - one being the occasion itself set aside to honor the men and women in arms and the other being her last official celebration of Armed Forces Day as President of Liberia, noting that celebrating the annual event brings glory and honor to her as C-I-C.
President Johnson Sirleaf said the splendid and successful implementation of "Operation Restore Hope" by the Liberian military is a clear sign of the outstanding training and discipline the AFL has received since she ascended to the presidency in 2006.
She stressed the exceptional performance by the AFL, but prayed that the opportunity will no longer arise where they will have to physically fight terrorists on home soil.
Meanwhile, C-I-C Sirleaf has extolled former Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo for his exceptional role in building the new army, particularly for sending some of his country's trained and professional soldiers to help with the training of the AFL.
The Liberian leader also credited the U.S. Government for training programs, noting that some U.S military personnel still work with the AFL in various capacities. ]
She also praised China and other development partners for helping to equip the new army.
It can be recalled that the rebuilding of the new army in Liberia began in 2006 following the ascendancy of President Sirleaf to power as Africa's and Liberia's first democratically-elected female president.
The Liberian military is already helping with regional peace by taking up peacekeeping duty in Mali and has officers assigned at the headquarters of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) as part of the region's standby force, as well as having the Mano River Union secretariat under its security protocol.
In recognition of the fallen men and women of the army, President Sirleaf recognized the presence of the widows of the first Nigerian Commanding Officer in charge of the Liberian military, the Chief of Staff and the Deputy Chief of Staff, all of whom were present at the occasion.

When Satellites and Big Data Collide
Satellite imagery is not a new concept; for years companies have been collecting and selling imagery. The more difficult part of the commercial imagery equation is the post-collection analysis. It takes smart engineering and effort to analyze imagery—to turn pixels into insights. Our newest customer, Descartes Labs, is an image analysis startup that's doing just that.
The Descartes Labs team— spun out of Los Alamos National Laboratory in December 2014— built a platform that uses machine learning and computer vision technology to efficiently analyze satellite imagery.
Just recently Descartes Labs was able to predict quickly and accurately 2015 agricultural corn yields using satellite imagery. See the full project.
Fields of leafy green lettuce and other spring produce border Yuma International Airport. Yuma's year-round warmth allows lettuce, broccoli, melons, dates, and citrus to flourish. Image: Planet Labs.
According to Descartes, our global, high-frequency imagery will help them refine their analysis for U.S. crops, and extend their analysis to "smaller sized commercial and subsistence farms in developing countries, where much of the world's food supply is grown." When compared to traditional surveying methods, timely satellite data can reduce the time and cost of large scale agricultural analysis.
Our CEO, Will Marshall, commented: "I'm very pleased to get our high frequency, global data set into the hands of Descartes Labs' top-notch team of imagery experts and data scientists. They'll help us pioneer fascinating new use cases."
I know I speak for all at Planet when I say we're excited to call Descartes Labs a partner and look forward to their brilliant work with our imagery.

Bad Girlfriend
Flora grinned as her boyfriend and partner in crime. This was something that Ric feared above all things. His beautiful orange only got that look when she was plotting something horrible and evil. Considering that Flora was the daughter of the original Terror Twins. Oh Ric remembered the stories from his father about the craziness of England's children.
"My dear, are you sure? I mean do you really want to mess with your mother and grandmother?"
"Si, If I don't do this Clone-boy wins the bet, and I want to make noses bleed. Now, name four Ukes!"
"Maybe your parents should have named you Lucy."
Flora hit the golden brown-eyed man over the head and sighed. She would have to think of them herself. As much as she loved the idiot, Flora needed this plan to work. She did need her boyfriend to help her gather two European ukes and she would go after the Asian and Canadian ukes.
Flora grinned and sat down on her boyfriend's lap. She put his hands on her thighs and then wrapped her arms around his neck. The Spaniard's face turned the color of a tomato and she batted her eyelashes.
"Ricardo, my love, can you get your Aunt Feli and my Gran?"
The Sunshine state grinned and got of his lap to strut out of her living room. She had costumes to design and music to pick out. Ricardo sank into his card and sighed.
"No one really knows if she's drunk or if she's stoned, but she's coming back to my place tonight."
"What was that?"
"Ah ha ha, Nothing my dear."
"Good boy. Now, get your ass in gear and get them!"
Ricardo ran out of his girlfriend's beach house. Flora could be scarier than his mother on odd days.
Florida and her evil plan will come up again later and this is for Totes-Randerp, I thought I'd give you an answer with this and sorry for the late up dates.

Liza Lim
Composer Liza Lim who's new work Machine for Contacting the Dead is based on the unearthing of a 2,500 year old Chinese Tomb containing an almost full-size orchestra.
We've already dealt with Renaissance Italy, now it's time to turn the clock back about 2-1/2-thousand years and look at China. The late 1970s in China was a time of excavation, digging up the past, and one of the things that got dug up was a tomb dating from about 440 BC and the tomb belongs to the Marquis Yi, and not just he was there, but a lot of instruments, an orchestra full of instruments, and a lot of other people too, because they buried the players and his concubines, and they weren't necessarily dead at the time of being buried. So there was much to be discovered in this tomb, and this is the starting point for a work of music by Liza Lim, a piece called Machine for Contacting the Dead. She composed it for the Ensemble InterContemporain in Paris and they performed it last year,. It had its Australian premiere last night in Brisbane . We elcome to the show, Liza.
Liza Lim: Thank you, Andrew.
Andrew Ford: Now let's start with the tomb itself perhaps, and how that became the inspiration for music.
Liza Lim: Well the tomb was this extraordinary underground palace, if you like, which contained over 100 musical instruments, including this set of 65 massive bronze bells. Those bells are the most famous kind of component of the tomb but when someone the Ensemble InterContemporain rang me and said, 'Oh there's this exhibition of these instruments', it immediately sparked a lot of ideas for my piece.
Andrew Ford: It's interesting actually because we've just been talking to His Majesty's Sagbutts and Cornetts who were in Melbourne because the Early Music Festival there has been inspired by this year, or effective this year by the exhibition of The Italians that's being shown currently at the Melbourne Museum. So this is another example of music taking its starting point from an exhibition.
Liza Lim: Yes well one of the intriguing things about the tomb is that here are all these instruments which are really a very concrete evidence of a culture in which music played a very central and important role, but there's no trace of the sound left. I mean music is such an ephemeral thing, and so an aspect of my work was about imagining an ancient music, but in a really metaphorical way, because I don't use any actual Chinese instruments. Instead I've collected together Western orchestral instruments that play together to imagine these ancient Chinese sounds.
Andrew Ford: But when you say that we can't know what this orchestra sounded like, we can't get any sounds out of those bells?
Liza Lim: Oh yes certainly, the instruments are in this amazing state of preservation, and so yes, you can sound the bells, you can sound the flutes and the pan pipes and so on, but we don't have any record really of the court music that dates from that time.
Andrew Ford: I see, so we don't know what they played.
Liza Lim: That's right.
Andrew Ford: OK, so clearly you have no choice but to imagine the sort of music, but what about the instruments themselves? Why did you avoid using Chinese instruments?
Liza Lim: Well that was - I mean I actually quite like the idea that there isn't this record of the actual sounds. It creates a space where I can occupy as a composer, if you like, an imaginative space, but there was also a kind of ethical reason. There was a sort of code in relation to objects left for the dead, in that they would seem to be objects which could be used in real life, but they were not to be actually played or utilised. And there was actually a name for these funerary objects, called Ming Chee, 'bright vessels', objects which are transformed so that they can address the spirits. And so it seemed that it would be more appropriate to make my own kind of evocation of this music in an oblique way, and so for instance in the movement from Machine for Contacting the Dead that you played earlier, Memory Body, which is the most intimate section of the work, the model for me was the Chinese zither, the plucked instrument, called the Chin, which as found together with the Marquis' coffin and the coffins of his eight concubines, and these Chin, these zithers were intact, except for their silk strings which had disintegrated. And I imagine this kind of subterranean ruined harp music bringing together the sounds of the harp and also dampened strings. I asked the players to completely mute their strings, so you just hear this very breathy caress of the bow hair against the string. And so that was kind of an oblique look at those zithers, those stringless zithers and I kind of have this image that the music would be a way of trying to listen to the strings that had last been plucked say 2-1/2-thousand years ago.
Andrew Ford: Is it fair to say that for you, a piece of music always starts with the possibilities of sonority?
Liza Lim: I think that is true. That is something that has always inspired my music, particularly relationships with musicians, and a way of examining the relationship between a player's body and their musical instrument has always been such an 9important facet of my work.
Andrew Ford: But in the case of Machine for Contacting the Dead, you were not composing for Elision who you obviously know all of those players terribly well, but you were writing for the French groups Ensemble InterContemporain who you presumably didn't know so well.
Liza Lim: I was able to work with some of the performers very closely, and that was an incredible experience. But certainly having Elision and members of the Queensland Orchestra play my work, they premiered it last night, and they're going to do it again tonight, has been an absolute pleasure, because in a way it's like the work is coming home to the players that I know the best.
Andrew Ford: You mean when you're writing for the Ensemble InterContemporain you're still really writing for Elision?
Liza Lim: Well there's a sense of style that Elision has accumulated over, say 20 years, in relation to my music, that means that they can play my work with a certain kind of authority, if you like.
Andrew Ford: Coming back to the piece itself, you've got two soloists in this work, a 'cellist and a bass clarinet player who also as we heard then, plays contra-bass clarinet; what's the function of these two soloists?
Liza Lim: Well originally I wrote two solo pieces for these instruments; I said before that I worked with members of the Ensemble InterContemporain and I wrote those solos for those musicians, and it was a way to really examine very closely certain kinds of musical ideas which then I expanded in the larger ensemble. But those two solo instruments thread their way through the 40 minute span of the work, and so just going back to the relationship between my work and the tomb. The tomb contained a number of chambers, four chambers actually, and that suggested to me a way of organising sound in my work. So that it's like the work travels through different resonating spaces, and I guess the solo instruments are the travellers through these spaces.
Andrew Ford: Oh I see, and are there any of the solo pieces that you wrote for these instrumentalists, did any of those pieces make it into the new piece?
Liza Lim: Yes, the solo material is kind of cut up and transformed through the course of the4 larger work, yes.
Andrew Ford: So they're actually bringing in part of their earlier personalities into this tomb?
Liza Lim: If you want to put it like that, yes.
Andrew Ford: Liza, thank you very much indeed for talking about the piece. It sounds amazing and I wish I could be there at the Judith Wright Centre for the Performing Arts in Brisbane tonight for the second Australian performance of this work. Members of the Queensland Orchestra and members of the Elision Ensemble getting together to play Machine for Contacting the Dead. Liza, we're going to listen to a section from the final part of the piece, Ritual Bells where we get to hear a good deal more of that, I think it's actually the bass clarinet rather than the contra-bass.
Liza Lim: It's actually the contra-bass clarinet.
Andrew Ford: It's the contra-bass played rather high?
Liza Lim: Very high.
Andrew Ford: OK, thank you very much for coming on the show.
Liza Lim: Thank you, Andrew.

|Proj. Rnd.
01/18/2014 - PROSPECTS WHO HELPED THEMSELVES AT THE SHRINE GAME: 8. QB Jeff Mathews, Cornell (6-4, 225, 4.93, #9)...If it weren't for Garoppolo, the quarterback talk would be all about Mathews and the week he had in St. Petersburg. He showed off his arm strength, passing vision and touch to all levels of the field and with his size, he fits what the NFL wants at the position. Mathews will hold the ball too long at times and needs to be more assertive, but he's a quality developmental quarterback who projects as a day three pick. - Dane Brugler, NFLDraftScout.com
01/13/2014 - 2014 Shrine Game: Monday Practice Report...Although the first day of practice is usually sloppy with a lot of walk-through as players become acclimated to a new setting, coaches and teammates, there were several prospects who stood out on day one, starting with the quarterbacks on the East Squad. Cornell QB Jeff Mathews had a middling senior season and entered this week as a prospect under-the-microscope. In Monday's east practice, he started slow, but picked up steam and got into rhythm with as the drills progressed, showing off his big arm and downfield vision. Mathews displayed good placement, accuracy and anticipation, something that he flashed in college, and he gained confidence throughout the practice. His set-up, release and overall process is average at-best, but he has the superior arm strength compared to the other passers in St. Petersburg this week. - Dane Brugler, NFLDraftScout.com
11/29/2013 - WEEK 13 COLLEGE FOOTBALL STARS: Jeff Matthews, Cornell, threw for 467 yards and four TDs and ran for a fifth score in a 42-41 win over Penn. - AP Sports
11/24/2013 - Jeff Matthews threw for four touchdowns and ran in a fifth as Cornell held off a late Penn rally to win 42-41 in its season finale Saturday. Matthews completed 33 of his 47 passes for 467 yards, sending TD passes to three difference receivers. Luke Hagy hauled in two, a 19-yarder to give the Big Red the lead in the third quarter and an 8-yard yarder in the fourth. The other two TD grabs were by Grant Gellatly and Lucas Shapiro. Cornell (3-7, 2-5 Ivy) also scored on a blocked punt.
The Quakers (4-6, 3-4) trailed by 21 with 7:49 to play and rallied with three unanswered touchdowns, including a 39-yard interception return by Sam Chwarzynski. But the extra point kick was blocked by Tre' Minor, securing the Cornell win. It was the second straight week that Penn saw a potential comeback rally stall. - AP Sports
11/11/2013 - NFL DRAFT WEEK 11 STOCK REPORT, PROSPECTS WHO HURT THEMSELVES: QB Jeff Matthews, Cornell...Matthews has NFL size and arm strength, but is just a tick too slow with his entire process from his decision-making to his delivery, holding the ball too long and taking too many hits. In his defense, Matthews hasn't received a lot of help from the play-calling or his supporting cast, especially a porous offensive line, but he has been too indecisive and sluggish in his movements. He flashes with his above average arm strength and NFL toughness, but it's clear he's not ready for the next level and is reminiscent of a smarter, but not as confident version of Ryan Mallett. - Dane Brugler, NFLDraftScout.com
11/11/2013 - NFL DRAFT WEEK 11 STOCK REPORT, PROSPECTS WHO HURT THEMSELVES: QB Jeff Matthews, Cornell...The most accomplished quarterback in Ivy League history, Matthews has put together a strong resume that has him on the NFL's radar. But his senior year hasn't exactly gone according to plan due to inconsistent play as Cornell has lost seven straight. Against Dartmouth on Saturday, Matthews struggled to push the ball downfield or sustain drives, finishing with a season-low 170 passing yards with only 50% completions (16-for-32). He has a bad habit of telegraphing throws and really struggles without a clean pocket, lacking the mobility to consistently adjust, reset and deliver an accurate throw. - Dane Brugler, NFLDraftScout.com
10/15/2013 - Over a dozen NFL scouts were in attendance for the Cornell-Harvard match-up on Saturday, presumably to see Big Red senior quarterback Jeff Mathews. But despite passing for 472 yards (the most given up in school history by a Harvard defense), Cornell couldn't keep up as Mathews tossed a pair of interceptions, which pushes his season total to six in just four games. He has the size and arm strength that will give him a fighting chance in the NFL, but his inconsistent footwork, which greatly affects his ball placement, continues to be a problem. - Dane Brugler, NFLDraftScout.com
10/06/2013 - Jimmy DeCicco rushed for 146 yards and two touchdowns to lead Colgate to a 41-20 victory over Cornell Saturday. The Raiders (1-4) dominated the Big Red (1-2) in the second half, outscoring Cornell 24-0. Quarterback Jake Melville filled in admirably after Gavin McCarney was injured early in the third quarter, finishing with one rushing touchdown and one passing. Melville's 6-yard scoring run capped a 15-play, 75-yard drive and gave Colgate a 23-20 lead.
DeCicco added both of his scores in the fourth quarter, including a 77-yard scamper to push the lead to 35-20. Dan Cason finished with 8 catches for 120 yards for the Raiders. Cornell's Jeff Mathews threw for 351 yards and two scores, but also had two interceptions, one returned for a touchdown. Mathews also became the Ivy League's all-time leader with 9,303 passing yards, eclipsing the previous record of 9,294, held by Brown's James Perry. - AP Sports
09/28/2013 - Deon Randall scored four second-half touchdowns as Yale pulled away from Cornell for a 38-23 win Saturday in the Ivy League opener for both teams. The Bulldogs (2-0, 1-0 Ivy League) broke a 10-10 halftime tie with four consecutive touchdown drives, the first three culminating with touchdown passes from Henry Furman to Randall. Randall then ran for a 10-yard score on Yale's following possession to extend its lead to 38-10 in the fourth quarter. Randall finished with 11 receptions for 148 yards. Furman went 29 for 36 and had 353 yards passing.
Jeff Mathews threw for 336 yards and three touchdowns for Cornell (1-1, 0-1) but also tossed two interceptions and fumbled on a sack. Cornell led 10-7 just before halftime but couldn't stop the Yale offense in the second half as the Bulldogs avenged a 45-6 loss in last year's game between the two teams. - AP Sports
09/21/2013 - Jeff Mathews threw for 285 yards and three touchdowns as Cornell overcame an early deficit to rout Bucknell 45-13 in its non-conference season opener at home Saturday. The Ivy League's Big Red (1-0) trailed 10-0 in the first quarter, but roared back in the second quarter as Mathews threw touchdown passes to Chris Lenz and Lucas Shapiro to take a 17-13 lead. Cornell pulled ahead in the third quarter on Mathews' 14-yard strike to Luke Hagy.
Tre' Minor and Jarrod Watson-Lewis each returned fumbles for a touchdown in the third to fuel the rout. Shapiro finished with 113 yards receiving on five catches. CJ Williams ran for 148 yards on 30 carries for Bucknell (1-1, Patriot League). Brandon Wesley went 7-for-16 with 118 yards and an interception. The Cornell victory was the first for David Archer, 30, the youngest head coach in Division I Football. - AP Sports
08/14/2013 - 2013 JOHNNY UNITAS GOLDEN ARM AWARD WATCHLIST: Jeff Mathews, Cornell,...One of the most exciting and productive quarterbacks in the history of the Ivy League, Mathews enters his final season on East Hill on the cusp of history. Already Cornell's career passing leader, he is a two-time Bushnell Cup finalist for Ivy League Player of the Year, and became the first sophomore to ever win the award in 2011. Despite playing through numerous injuries that limited him in 2012, Mathews was one of 20 players on the Walter Payton Award Watch List and a preseason first-team FCS All-American by Beyond Sports College Network. He was a two-time conference Offensive Player of the Week in 2012 and led the Ivy League in passing attempts (405), completions (251) and yards (3,196).
He also finished second in passing touchdowns (18), completion percentage (.620) and pass efficiency (137.5) for players with at least five starts despite missing a game. Mathews finished on the All-Ivy second team and was runner-up for the Bushnell Cup. He ranked second nationally in passing yardage (355.1), third in total offense (338.4), 21st in points responsible for (13.8) and 32nd in pass efficiency (137.5). He is again on the Walter Payton Award Watch List to begin the 2013 campaign. - Cornell football
07/18/2013 - 2013 WALTER PAYTON AWARD WATCH LIST: Jeff Mathews, Cornell Big Red, Quarterback, Senior...It's amazing to think that last season Mathews ranked No. 2 in the FCS in passing yards per game (355.1) but it was somewhat of a disappointing season for him as his statistics dropped slightly from 2011 and Cornell failed to challenge for the Ivy League title. But the big Californian surpassed 400 yards passing in a game three times, including his third time over 500 yards.
The Ivy League's 2011 offensive player of the year was the runner-up for the 2012 award. Considered a recruiting steal for the Big Red, Mathews is rewriting the Cornell record book. He has a strong arm and doesn't shy from contact. With 8,331 career passing yards, he ranks second in Ivy League history, and this season he should soar past record-holder James Perry, who had 9,294 yards for Brown from 1997-99. - The Sports Network

A bearded, be speckled avid gardener and father of three grown children is the relatively obscure figure behind the litigation of Halbig v. Burwell. The attorney, Mr. Christina, with the law firm Ogletree Deakins was the catalyst behind the lawsuit that latched onto the wording which caused the DC Circuit Court of Appeals to rule that only state funded exchanges could have subsidies.
In another ruling in the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals, King v. Burwell, this appeals court ruled that the subsidies are indeed legal for people purchasing insurance on the federal exchange and are not limited to state run exchanges.
Although the wording in the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act explicitly says only state run exchange participants can receive federal tax credits for their health insurance, we now see two different opinions (one for and one against) by the federal appeals courts.
Since the Obama administration has requested an en banc review by the DC Circuit (meaning all 11 members would have to rule on this case and its wording vs. the 3 who originally ruled), the Obama administration may find itself going back to the Supreme Court as a result of these two opposing decisions and the en banc ruling request. The losing lead litigator in the 4th Circuit decision, Michael Garvin of Jones Day can now petition the Supreme Court for an expedited appeal which would throw the whole case back to the Supremes for a second ruling, meaning Chief Justice Roberts would have a second bite at the apple on whether or not he will uphold ObamaCare again as he did in his first ruling.
While all of this makes for great theater and speculation, it leaves the insurance industry in turmoil and one wonders what would happen if the Supreme Court ruled like the DC Circuit regarding the language striking down subsidies on the federal exchange.
Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water again, it appears the sharks could be circling for one last bite that could be fatal to ObamaCare.

This question has not been answered by one of our experts yet.
yes, acid reflux, or any type of gastric illness can trigger your nervous system to act as if your body is under stress or panic, hence the high heart rate. You should get checked out by the doctor because you could have ulcerations which can cause further complications READ MORE

Chronic Pain
Students of Chronic Pain studies need not worry about paying for over-priced textbooks anymore – renting textbooks is an option! Chronic Pain textbooks – for example Your Pain Is Real: Free Yourself from Chronic Pain with Breakthrough Medical Treatments by [M.d., Emile Hiesiger, Kathleen Brady], and Stop Being Your Symptoms and Start Being Yourself: The 6-Week Mind-Body Program to Ease Your Chronic Symptoms by [Arthur J. Barsky, Emily C. Deans] – are often some of the most frequently updated books by Publishing companies. The field of Chronic Pain is constantly changing, and new editions can come yearly and at a huge cost to students who continually buy new books. So why buy when you can rent cheap textbooks? There are plenty of Chronic Pain books to rent – BookRenter has of them all!
Used book sales can be a cheap option as well, but often can be more expensive than textbook rentals. However, there are very few return policies with used books, and especially when taking Chronic Pain classes, buying a used book can be dangerous and costly.

neat idea, I also like the way he combines all those colours, even the splash of neon. BUT (aka DON'T): those socks he's wearing, I mean, WTF?!? this kills it for me
these shocks are from woodwood x happy socks, but, you´re right, they doesn´t fit at all. and, btw, perhaps this outfit is "fashionable", but in my eyes its a terrible mix
love it
the colour-mix is great but i'd prefer other socks, too.

High School May Add Unisex Bathroom, Locker Room For Transgender Students
MEDFORD (CBS) – Schools across Massachusetts are facing new guidelines regarding students and gender identity. "I had all of these problems and everyone kept telling me that they couldn't help me," said Logan Ferarro, now on staff at BAGLY, Inc., The Boston Alliance of Gay, Bisexual & Transgender Youth. Logan transitioned from female to male as a senior in High School in Wilmington.
"It ended up being harder than it was because they had no idea what to prepare for they had no idea what was coming," said Logan. "They had no idea what even transgender was."

The prime minister has called for reversing the climate of pessimism and regeneration of "animal spirit" in the economy
New Delhi: The day after Indian prime minister Manmohan Singh called for reversing the mood of pessimism, top bureaucrats on Thursday took stock of the economic situation with secretaries of various ministries to firm steps for arresting the slowdown in growth, reports PTI.
"Cabinet secretary (Ajit Seth) took meeting of secretaries of economic ministries. We took stock of the current economic situation," a senior official said, after the meeting.
Among others, the meeting was attended by finance secretary RS Gujral, economic affairs secretary R Gopalan, commerce secretary SR Rao, industry secretary Saurabh Chandra and power secretary P Uma Shankar.
The meeting of top bureaucrats comes a day after the prime minister, who assumed charge of the finance ministry after Pranab Mukherjee quit to contest for the presidential election, has called for reversing the climate of pessimism and regeneration of "animal spirit" in the economy.
India's economic growth during 2011-12 slipped to nine-year low of 6.5% and the current fiscal it is not expected to do much better. The domestic currency too has depreciated sharply in the recent weeks going below Rs57 to a dollar.
The PM on Wednesday held meetings with key economic advisors including PMEAC chairman C Rangarajan, Planning Commission deputy chairman Montek Singh Ahluwalia and chief economic advisor Kaushik Basu.
Media reports say that SEBI may be asked to reconsider the entry load ban, an arbitrary move made by SEBI in 2009 August
Within a day of taking over the responsibility as finance minister, prime minister Manmohan Singh yesterday urged senior ministry bureaucrats to "revive the animal spirits in the country's economy" (the same comment he had made in 1992 as the finance minister) and "reverse the climate of pessimism"- thereby making it clear that he means business. He also mentioned that "There are issues about the mutual funds industry which need to be resolved." It may just mean that the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) maybe asked to reintroduce the mutual fund entry load norms in a meeting that the finance ministry will organize with industry association and stakeholders from the mutual fund community and distributors on 2nd July according to media reports. With one single swipe in August 2009 and without much discussion, SEBI changed the mutual fund industry, for the worse.
A few months back the Association of Mutual Funds of India (AMFI) chairman HN Sinor charged that (SEBI) made serious a policy mistake of banning entry loads on mutual funds. (Read: Two and half years later, there are murmurs of SEBI bungling on the entry load ban) He said, "One mistake SEBI made was to implement the entry load ban in a cut-and-dry manner." Only Moneylife foresaw the mutual fund industry's decline, with distribution largely getting affected with this arbitrary move. (Mutal Fund turmoil: Can SEBI be held accountable?). This was just one of the many articles where Moneylife commented on the arbitrariness of SEBI's action when the mainstream media was either silent or supportive of SEBI's moves.
He further said, "We need to dispassionately review the (entry load ban) decision once again. We have to expand this industry, and for doing that if we have to bite the bullet, we should bite the bullet."
It's been almost three years since SEBI abolished entry load. Noticing a big drop in inflows, sometime ago SEBI decided to introduce a transaction fee. This too didn't go down well with distributors. According to a consulting firm, only 16% of distributors have opted for charging transaction fee. It may be remembered that the fund industry too was to blame for charging huge upfront costs to the unit holders including, foreign junkets, in order to sell funds. Instead of controlling these practices, SEBI has gone to the other extreme by banning upfront commissions and dozens of concomitant rules, which were hailed as pro-investor by the mainstream media, putting a halo around the head of CB Bhave when he retired. Will SEBI review the entry load ban now that the finance ministry has put pressure? Or will it come up with another half-baked scheme as UK Sinha did sometime last year?

Yamato USA (f.k.a. Toycom, Inc.) is the North American division of the Yamato Co., Ltd. with headquarters in the otaku capital of the world... the Akihabara district of Tokyo, Japan. For over ten years, Yamato USA has proudly served otaku on this side of the world with a wide offering of miniature collectible figures, PVC and die-cast action figures, as well as poly-resin and PVC statues inspired by the hottest titles in Japanese anime, manga, and video game properties. One of these titles happen to be the Metal Gear series.
Metal Gear Solid - Konami Doll Collection
Yamato's first involvement to the Metal Gear series is the release of Metal Gear Solid collectable dolls as part of the Konami Doll Collection range. Each 1/6 scale doll are fully artculated, have removable attire and comes with weapon accessories. The collection only contained 4 dolls, there are Solid Snake, Meryl Silverburgh, Liquid Snake and Sniper Wolf. Rumours that there were plans to release a 5th doll for the series, being the Cyborg Ninja but they turned out to be false. The dolls were released sometime in 2002.
Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty - Konami Figure Collection
Yamato's next line of Metal Gear related merchadise was a set of trading figures, based on characters that appeared in Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty. Each figure came inside blind boxes and came with display stands. There are 7 figures to collect, plus a sceret 8th figure. The set contained, Solid Snake, Raiden, Hal Emmerich, Revolver Ocelot, Olga Gurlukovich, Metal Gear RAY and a Gurlukovich Soldier. The sceret figure was a silver version of Raiden. The set was released in 2004 and were re-leased in seperate packagings.
The set was also re-released with all figures appearing in silver, to match the sceret Raiden figure.
The silver version of the Solid Snake figure was re-released as part of the Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty Premium Package. The differences between this and the original is the display stand and Snake is adopting a USP instead of a SOCOM.
Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance - Konami Figure Collection
Yamato decided to release a sequel to the Metal Gear Solid 2 figure collection, this time with the Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance logo on the packagings and display stands. Like the first set, the set contains 7 figures and secret 8th figure. The set contained Iroquois Pliskin, Solidus Snake, Fortune, Vamp, Fatman, Emma Emmerich and Mr. X. The secret 8th figure was another silver version of Raiden, this time wearing his scuba mask. The set was released in late 2004.
This is Yamoto's last involvement with the Metal Gear franchise.
Konami Figure Collection Bootlegs
Like most merchandise related to anime and video games, various Chinese copies and bootlegs have been made, some of them happen to be copies from both the Metal Gear Solid 2 Konami Figure Collection series. Yamato has been informed about this, and warn their customers about them, their bad quailty and how they harm the company due to not recieving any profit. They also inform anyone not to buy them as customers deserve to get their money's wroth of figures and not have it wasted away by badly made knock offs.
A bootleg figure can be told apart from it's original counterpart by the cheap PVC material, being unable to fit onto their display stands and poor paintwork. As well as being sold cheaper than the official figures. Bootlegs are commonly found and sold on eBay.

by Andrew Moran, Economic Collapse News:
Germans are following the lead of the Japanese in this global war on cash and this global trend to subzero interest rates (SEE: Are subzero interest rates igniting cash hoarding?)
The Wall Street Journal is reporting that home-safe sales have been skyrocketing in Germany. No, crime rates aren't surging in Berlin, Stuttgart or Dusseldorf. Instead, Germans are looking for ways to stash their cash at home to avoid putting their money in banks that offer very low interest rates.
In an effort to get banks to lend out money and avoid letting reserves just sit there, central banks are utilizing the power of subzero interest rates. With the European Central Bank (ECB) pushing rates into negative territory, Germans have become wary of these monetary policies. And this could be part of the reason why Europe is installing more and more cash restrictions.
And the latest trend in Germany isn't necessarily a consequence of bad monetary policy. In actuality, Germans understand history, and many of them have experienced it first hand.
Here is what the newspaper writes:
"Germany's love of cash is driven largely by its anonymity. One legacy of the Nazis and East Germany's Stasi secret police is a fear of government snooping, and many Germans are spooked by proposals of banning cash transactions that exceed €5,000. Many Germans think the ECB's plan to phase out the €500 bill is only the beginning of getting rid of cash altogether."
Whether it's safes or placing it under the mattress, a growing number of Europeans are taking their hard-earned cash out of the banks and hoarding it at home (SEE: Did the Bank of England slash rates, revive QE because Brits are hoarding a lot of cash?).
This trend can even be found in the United States and Canada, though not at the rate of Europe. Ostensibly, the central bankers' grand plans are backfiring.
