• equanimity •
Pronunciation: ek-wê-nim-ê-tee or ee-kwê- . . . • Hear it!
Part of Speech: Noun, mass (No plural)
Meaning: Steadiness and composure under pressure; unruffledness in a stressful situation.
Notes: The adjective that accompanies today's Good Word is the rather odd-sounding equanimous [ee-kwæ-nê-mês] "even-tempered, balanced, composed", as an equanimous response to a provocative insult.
In Play: Stressful or embarrassing situations call for equanimity: "Joe Fell rose from his pratfall with uncommon equanimity and continued down the hall as though nothing had happened." Whatever raises stress levels, equanimity lowers them: "Duane Pipes received the news of his wife's leaving him with an equanimity that might have saved the marriage had he applied it more while they were together."
Word History: English borrowed this word from French in the 17th century. French inherited it from Latin æquanimitas "calmness, patience, equanimity", a noun based on æquus "even, equal" + animus "mind, spirit" or anima "soul". Æquus is apparently related to Sanskrit eka "one". Animus underlies animal, a thing of spirit; it comes from the same source as Greek anemos "wind", often thought of as a spirit in bye-gone years. The Greek word is the root of anemone "daughter of the wind", which is now the English word for the wind-flower (Anemone nemorosa). (Today we thank Rob N. Hood for having the spirit to suggest today's Good Word.)

Highlights from Mr. Adnan Oktar's interview on 04 November 2012
What We Said One Month Ago Is Now Being Implemented As Global Policy
(Mikhail Bogdanov, Deputy Foreign Minister and special Middle East representative to Russian head of state Vladimir Putin, said of tripartite negotiations regarding Syria, "We are ready to take our place in such tripartite group discussions." He also emphasized his belief in the usefulness of all kinds of dialogue mechanisms that might produce a solution to the very serious problems in Syria acceptable to all sides.)
Allah, Allah. I sit while my ideas are taking over, not just in Turkey, but all over the world. Look, I said this just recently, just a month ago. I said this, and now it is being implemented as global policy, masha'Allah. Eventually they will do what I said, insha'Allah.
The Beauties of Paradise
Almighty Allah always speaks of lofty mansions in paradise. He says there are rivers flowing beneath it. If there are rivers flowing beneath it, then that part must be very high. The mansions are high up, He says. That means that human beings delight in high places. That delight is in their hearts. People do not like low-lying places. Nobody wants a subterranean home, for instance. They want them high up, on a plateau, high-up, with a nice view. Paradise is the place of such delight, insha'Allah. There is no boredom, fear, tension, jealousy or envy there. Only love of Allah and joy and friendship and appreciation of Allah. He is appreciated very well there. One will eat a candy and say, "Alhamdulillah, how well You have created, O Lord," in comparison with things in this world. One will eat fruit and give thanks to Allah. One will be with one's wife and give thanks to Allah. One will never get enough of Allah's beauty and manifestations. One will love animals. There are birds, squirrels, goats, lambs and everything there. Paradise has been created specially. Dinosaurs. The dinosaurs of paradise, insha'Allah; one can ride around on their backs. Because Almighty Allah says, "Everything that you want." One just has to think of it. It is created the moment you think of it, we are given moral virtue and instruction by it. Allah wants to be loved and appreciated. We must love and appreciate and trust in Almighty Allah. We must recognize His greatness and understand or seek to understand His might, to the extent that He permits. However much Almighty Allah creates. Paradise is the abode of liberty. We will be free in paradise. We will be untroubled. The body will inflict no trouble on us in paradise, no discomfort. For example, evening comes as a light shadow in paradise, "It is evening," people say. Then the light increases a little and they say, "It is morning." That is what day and night are like in paradise. What about sleep? We will go 24 hours without sleeping, or 72 hours. Sleep will not come. We will not feel sleepy for a month, or a million years. Or a trillion years, there is no end to it. We will be in a delightful state with the prophets and guides and those who live by good moral values, insha'Allah. Paradise is the abode of the lover, where intense love is experienced. There is sexuality in paradise. They say there is not. But how can there not be? That is fixed in verses of the Qur'an and the hadiths. And why should there not be? Sexuality is bad if it is illegitimate. But sexuality is fine if it is legitimate. It expresses love in the highest quality way. You express love with five senses. Why should that be ugly or wrong? May Almighty Allah give us depth in paradise. May He give us the moral values of paradise. May He open our horizons. May He protect us from satan's evil and wickedness. Satan has no pity. May Almighty Allah make us victorious in the war against satan. May He make us victorious in the war against our earthly passions. This world is transient. We suddenly say, "Bismillah" and pass to the other world. It is like a door opening up, or going to sleep. We will think we are sleeping, insha'Allah. Muslims' souls will be taken very gently, with love. They come with escorts. Muslims are shown huge respect as their souls are taken. They are taken with love. But when unbelievers' souls are taken, may Allah forbid, they are beaten very badly. The angels beat them very terribly. They hit them on the back and face and everywhere as their souls are taken. They realize right away from that beating that they are going to hell. Believers also realize from those fine compliments and love that they are going to paradise. Azrail (pbuh) is full of love for believers. He treats them with love. And they will be with their loved ones. People they know will come alongside Azrail (pbuh) so they can experience that love. He will come with people the individual loves, so they do not need to feel afraid or alarmed. "The people I love are with me," the person will say, so there is no need to fear. Allah says He will take their souls "gently." The fact the people they love are with him is highly significant because people are seeing Azrail (pbuh) for the first time, but they already know the people they know, from beforehand. They embrace them. "Let us go together," they say. And that is all, insha'Allah. The test is very pleasant for believers. It is always aimed at honoring them. Their good sides are cited. "You did this…" "Yes, I did," they will say. "And you gave alms," "True." Masha'Allah, He lists them all one by one. But Allah only bestows this pleasantness on believers. It makes things easy for believers, it is enjoyable and a pleasure. It eases their hearts. But being an unbeliever is very difficult, very painful and troubling, may Allah forbid.
China Will Be Weakened If It Restricts Liberties
(The New York Times carried a report about the Chinese president amassing a fortune of $2.7 billion. The Chinese government then banned access to the daily's Chinese-language web site and Twitter address. Last month, too, access was banned to the Bloomberg publishing organ that carried a report about the future presidents' relatives' business links.)
China will be weakened if it restricts liberties. What is the point? China should be like Europe. What is the point of this oppression and lovelessness? Why are you spreading this fear around? Abolish the death penalty for one thing. Death is the punishment for everything there. Abolish capital punishment and severe sentences. China should be like Europe. There should be a warm and moderate climate. People should be joyful. Europe would support it then, Turkey and everyone would support it. China must make a historic step on this. China must do away with that the ruthlessness and cruelty of the old Cold War times.
It Is Very Important To Make Children Happy
It is lovely for children to be happy. Give them a tiny something and it makes them really happy. Children should always be made happy. They enjoy asking for something when they are traveling somewhere. One should let them have it at once. That is not going to spoil a child. And so what if it does? But it does not have to be the family. Other people they love should also keep buying them presents. If you love, that is great. Someone else's child is fine, but one's own child is a huge blessing for one. That is a person created by Allah. Allah creates them for the whole world. Everyone has a responsibility. Everyone must take an interest in their health. Everyone must contribute to their well-being, joy and happiness. When one sees a little thing in a shop one should ask [the parent] "I like your child very much, may I give him this as a present?" even if it is expensive. One should buy gifts. That is a good thing, insha'Allah.
The Climate of Violence Established By The Pkk Can Only Be Eliminated By An Intellectual Struggle
I saw a headline saying, "The PKK martyrs Kurds more than it does anyone else." That is actually how the PKK acquired its first strength by martyring our Kurdish brothers. It spread terror and established a climate of fear, thus imposing itself. This is not the kind of language to be used in propaganda against them. If you say, "The PKK is martyring Kurds," many people will react by saying, "Then we must oppose the PKK." People will then say, "This is a very strong and violent organization, and the state cannot cope with it. It kills and terrorizes people. So I had best try and get on with it." They will say, "If they want my child, I will decide to let them take him off to the mountains as a terrorist." They will think that this appeasement will let them off the hook because it is a huge mafia-type organization; it uses mafia methods. That is where the mafia's own success stems from. There is no law at work here. The mafia wants people to hear about its iniquities. They kill people in a horrifying way and they want that to appear in the press. That does not work against them. It just strengthens the mafia. And it will not harm the PKK for people to hear about its savageries. That will strengthen it. Therefore, the solution lies not in headlines like that. Stressing their moral aspects will not get us anywhere, either. The solution lies in telling people about signs leading to faith, the miracles of the Qur'an and the invalidity of Marxism and Leninism. It is easy to get an ignorant person to believe in Marxism and Leninism. One can convince someone of the truth of Marxism and Leninism in a single evening. That does not take a long training. It is easy to tell people about Marxism. There is nothing complex about it. That is why people quickly adopt Marxist thinking. When it comes to the creation of the universe they even say, may Allah forbid, "Allah does not exist." That is a perfectly ordinary thing for them to say. "The universe came into being by chance," they say. "Living things came into being by chance, as the result of an explosion." "And history," they say, "also operates through coincidences. The Stone Age, the Middle Ages," they say all kinds of things like that. "The first communal age came to an end," they say. "Then the feudal age began. And then the capitalist age. We are now in the transition to another communal period," they say. "History goes in cycles," they maintain. These are very simple and facile statements. "There is nothing complicated in the world," they say. Even when they say, may Allah forbid, that "Allah does not exist," the impression in people's minds is still a very simple one, primitive. "Thesis clashes with antithesis," they say. "There is a constant state of conflict," they say. That is not hard to understand. It takes no more than two hours to tell someone about Marxism. One can turn someone into a Marxist in two or three hours. It is easy to destroy. As Bediüzzaman says, destruction is easy, but restoration is difficult. That is why it is so important to support people who talk about the signs leading to faith. It is very important to support people who talk about the miracles of the Qur'an and the invalidity of Darwinism and materialism. Then people will follow a rational line. The weapons of the dajjal are simple. The system of the Mahdi is difficult. Since the way of the Mahdi is valuable, it crosses difficult roads. Everything is easy in the system of the dajjal. The dajjal's job is easy. "In other words, destruction and demolition give results very quickly," says Bediüzzaman. In other words, he is saying; "The dajjal has this advantage. Repairs are difficult." That is why the system of the Mahdi moves forward in the long-term, doing repair work. In that way it corrects the system of unbelief.
Putin Is the Most Important Russian Leader For The Last Century
(Russian Minister of Education Livanoc issued a statement in the wake of complaints by 5,000 primary students in the Stavrapol region that they were not allowed into school for wearing the headscarf. The Minister announced that students would be able to attend school wearing the headscarf. Putin also said this on the subject; "We must always feel a deep respect of people's religious beliefs. We must take care over this in all government actions. Second, we are a secular country, and we must abide by those requirements.")
From what I can tell, Putin is the most perfect Russian leader for a century. I can even say is the most immaculate European leader. He is exceedingly strong, he cares for his nation, he is on the side of truth and defends the true faith, true Islam. He is exceedingly respectful toward all religions. He respects Christianity and Judaism, too. He is someone who is easy to speak to and come to an agreement on this. He is not stubborn or obdurate. He is very modest. When he sees something attractive, he immediately turns toward it; but he of course opposes what is wrong. Of course he makes mistakes, that is a separate issue. But these aspects of his are immaculate. That is why it will be very beneficial for our government to collaborate with Putin. Obama is also very reasonable. And Putin, too. We must make good use of this period. In particular, we must make good use of Putin's time. China can also be won over when talked to. We must tell the truth with great patience.

The Hunger Project - India
Investor Trip to India November 2006
de Dave Harvey
Acerca del libro
The Hunger Project is a global, strategic organization committed to the sustainable end of world hunger.
In Africa, Asia and Latin America, The Hunger Project empowers millions of women and men to end their own hunger. The Hunger Project has pioneered low-cost, bottom-up, gender-focused strategies in each region where hunger persists. These strategies mobilize clusters of rural villages to create and run their own programs that achieve lasting progress in health, education, nutrition and family income.
In all our work, the highest priority is the empowerment of women. Women traditionally bear primary responsibility for family health, education, nutrition and - increasingly - family income. Yet women have been systematically denied information, resources and voice in decisions that affect their lives
In November 2006 a delegation of investors from around the world visited Rajasthan to get a first hand understanding of the strategy so that they can spread the word back home. This is a record of our trip.

Oyster LD43 — By Jeffrey Moser
— April 2006
Downeast, Kiwi Style
Cross a PT boat with a lobster boat, and you get this jet-driven, deep-V 43-footer.
Kiwis welcome a good challenge. Take New Zealander Edmund Hillary. After hundreds of others had failed and some had died trying, Hillary, along with his guide Tenzing Norgay, was the first man to summit the highest point on Earth, Mt. Everest. No doubt inspired by Hillary, his countrymen are today among the world's elite climbers.

text: Lentils are high in protein and fiber and are one of the best vegetable sources of iron out there. They're popular in India, the Mediterranean, Pakistan and the Middle East, and are easily found in any neighborhood grocery store in the United States. Lentils are also inexpensive, so a great pantry item for families to stock up on. But once your pantry is full, will your kids eat these little legumes? Maybe.

House of Lies, FX, 8.30pm
DON Cheadle is tremendous in this scathing and sometimes raunchy comedy series, which purports to lift the lid on the mysterious world of management consultants. Cheadle plays Marty Kaan, a consultant who revels in baffling his clients with bulldust and pulling down huge fees with scant regard for whether or not he's actually helping anybody. Squeezing in a bit of risky sex on the side is just icing on the cake. As tonight's episode begins, Kaan is putting the hard sell on a potential client: ''If you don't see that with absolute f---ing clarity, then your job is s---, your life is s---, your company will fail, your wife, she will leave you and you will lose everything.'' Before long, he and his team - the efficient Jeannie (Kristen Bell), the awkward Doug (Australian Josh Lawson) and the smug Clyde (Ben Schwartz) - are dispatched to Amsterdam to try to save a professional basketball club. Created by Matthew Carnahan (Dirt) and based on a book by former consultant Martin Kihn, this series is cleverly written and looks addictive.
American Colony: The Hutterites, National Geographic, 8.30pm
AN INTERESTING reality-doco series about a Hutterite farming community in Montana. Like the Amish, the Hutterites are a sect that fled persecution in Europe to establish colonies in the US. The younger Hutterites in particular are likeable sorts, but they chafe against oppressive rules - in last week's episode, Hutterite elders ordered two women to be shunned for sending their sons to high school.
Call Me Fitz, FX, 9.30pm
Dissolute, womanising used-car salesman Richard Fitzpatrick (Jason Priestley) continues his run for city council.
Extreme Couponing, Discovery Home & Health, 8.30pm
New series of the mind-boggling show in which obsessive American coupon-clippers get trolleys full of groceries for just a few dollars.
Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations, TLC, 7.30pm
The New York chef heads to the Ozarks.

text: Waterlimon 4398 Report post Posted June 12, 2013 Id call it something like 'context' with a fancy word added to it somewhere. What it attempts to solve: Many classes need some context to function properly. Access to file managers, heap allocation, physics simulators, objects managing this and that, all kinds of managers. In order for the instances of these classes to operate with their data, they need access to these 'managers' which manage the actual data - their members are usually just indices/references to the data managed by these managers, and thus useless if the correct manager is not available. So, for these classes to function, they need: -Managers -Indices to data managed by the managers So, how do we ensure the object has access to the managers it needs? a) The object has a reference to the required managers *Code that uses the objects needs no knowledge of the resource pools/managers it needs b) The managers are passed to the object from the user of the class *In many cases, the using code is aware of at least most of the managers - storing them in the class would be a waste of memory There is no problem with (a), thats simple. (b) would be used for example in a class that manages all your game objects. All of them probably use the same physics, graphics, files... so each storing their own references to the managers they need would be evil. So, when the game object manager does operations on your game objects, the required managers would be passed there by the game object manager. class GameObjectManager { void doOperation() { for object in objects { object.operation(mgr1,mgr2); } } vector<GameObject> objects; ThisManager& mgr1; ThatManager& mgr2; } class GameObject { void operation(ThisManager& mgr1, ThatManager& mgr2) //managers passed in instead of stored { mgr1.getObject(r1).doSomething(mgr2.getObject(r2)); } ThisComponentRef r1; ThatComponentRef r2; } This is ok. But its not pretty. What happens when you need not only 2 (which already is too much) but 10 managers for the GameObject to access all its members? For a single method, not a problem, but if you have 10 methods, that means youd be passing 10 arguments to each of them, even if you were calling them one after another? Would it not feel redundant? What we want to do, is to create a context object, that stores all the variables that the accessor knows about and that the object needs to work. void doOperation() { for object in objects { object::context c(PhysicsMgr,FileMgr,SoundMgr,Allocator...) //optionally the class containing doOperation() could get these variables from its own context - someone is calling doOperation, and is likely aware of at least some of the above managers, so why store them in the class of doOperation()? object.operation(c,1,true,"hue"); //is this similiar to multiple dispatch? we need both object and the context to do the operation...? object.doAnotherOperation(c,...); object... } } Now, that is already a lot of saved writing. As mentioned, you might want to 'chain' the contexts, as in doOperation() would itself receive a context, and that context would be used to fill in the context of object - something like a heap allocator would probably be used like this. So, a method of a class that needs managers (to make its resource indices accessible), needs: -The class (for the indices to managers and data stored directly in the class instance) -The context (supplied by the caller of the methods of the object) -The managers You could say you call the method like (GameObject,Context).operation() but of course thats not possible. Maybe with some template magic. A class would be composed of: -Its methods -Its directly stored variables (primitive types for example) -Its indirectly stored variables, an index to a manager (RAM is just a global manager?) The context is not store in the class, it is created in the scope where the classes methods are accessed, although the context should be described within the class (what types of variables are needed as context) If we take this further, outside what is already possible within the constraints of the language, this could be even more streamlined. For example: -Instead of creating a separate 'context' class, the context variables would become a part of the class. This gets rid of all unneeded parameters of methods. class Object { public: void operation(){}; private: PhysicsComponentIndex index; ... context: //does not add to sizeof(class), stored in scope of access and must be set each time before access PhysicsMgr& mgr; void setPhysicsMgr(PhysicsMgr% mgr){[context/this?]->mgr=mgr}; implicit HeapAllocator& alloc; //yay a keyword, let me explain } -An implicit keyword (as in the above piece of code). This means the object is automatically grabbed from the context of the object whose method is using the object. If GameObjectContainers method uses GameObject, the HeapAllocator of GameObjectContainer will be automatically stored in the context of GameObject. This is to reduce typing, which is the whole point of this whole post. -Ability to combine the context of an object and the object itself, so that code unaware of the required context can process the objects. Lets use a too long keyword for this, "indepenent"! YAY! Object& A=getASomehow(); //context object created to scope of this method, implicit context variables filled if possible A.setHeapAllocator(alloc); //lets say we know this wont work implicitly for whatever reason A.setPhysicsMgr(physics); independent Object B=A; //takes the context,stored in the scope of this method, and puts them in an object that contains the context in itself (instead of the context being only in the scope of the method) RandomFunctionLivingInUnawareness(B); //the function must specify to take indepenent object for this to work. If context is not used by the object, everything will work like before. -The context of an object is of course affected by inheritance. If i want an object that can use my heap allocator, i can inherit from it. This kind of 'pure' context inheritance where all you inherit is the context description might be better to be seen as separate from normal inheritance, as it doesnt add anything to the class, just states its requirements. -Method/function specific contexts. I already described each class having a context, but it would be nice to have a 'free' context object, which basically states that "for each object accessed after me in the body of this method, use my variables to fill in all the implicit context variables of those objects". example: class baaar { foooo() { std::context<HeapAllocator&> c(alloc); //each object after this will fill their implicit context variables with alloc, instead of using the allocator of baaar. MyObject meh(); //implicitly uses alloc, assuming MyObjects context needs a HeapAllocator meh.doStuff(); //can use alloc to allocate stuff c.magicallyInvalidate(); //now baaars context will be used meh.doOtherStuff(); //still uses alloc - the context was created already MyObject dur(); //uses otherAlloc } context: HeapAllocator& otherAlloc; } The benefits of something like this will grow as more methods are called and more 'managers' and implicit stuff like heap allocators are used. Im sure there are other uses than what ive described for a feature like this, as well as obviously making for a more streamlined way of writing code, with all those loggers and allocators and whatnot not in the way anymore.

What we have said so far describes the aspects of the male character in a society of ignorance. There are many other types of male characters whose basic characteristics are formed by their families, their community, living conditions and other such factors. We could describe them briefly as follows:
Some men who have adopted for themselves a character opposite to the type mentioned in the last section are called "henpecked" in a society of ignorance. They do not have the kind of character expected by a society of ignorance, that is, a character that asserts its own superiority; but are overly submissive and unable to stand up for themselves. These individuals do not conform to the mould outlined for them according to the stereotype created by the society of ignorance. Instead of being assertive, they prefer to be dominated by others, and fail to display a strong personality. They are regarded as weak and having no personality.
Another kind of character to be seen in a society of ignorance is the "macho man." These individuals believe that men are definitely superior, and women are definitely inferior. They regard women as men's possessions, like any piece of merchandise, and decide when they will treat them well, and when they should treat them badly. They think that their boorish behavior, course manners and crude language make them appear "masculine." They are convinced that it is someone like them that women want to marry, that their behavior makes them attractive.
In a society of ignorance, there is also a male character type called the "party animals." Their favorite entertainment is hanging around in bars, drinking too much and carousing. They do the same thing almost every night, with their regular group of friends, who share the same erroneous outlook. The reason why they are called "party animals" in a society of ignorance is because they are always "partying." During these festivities, which last late into the night, hardly one intelligent or significant topic is discussed. Under the influence of alcohol, men talk for hours about something that is totally inane, philosophizing about it, and offering one another lessons on life. Often, something will end an argument, at some point late in the evening, where those around them have difficulty controlling them and quieting them down. Such individuals will also reflect in their every-day life the aspects of the character type that they display in at night. Usually, they will ask for others not to bother them, putting forward the excuse that they are "hung-over," or still under the influence of alcohol they consumed the night before.
What we have here described are only a few of the male character types to be found in a society of ignorance; there are hundreds of others. Because it is not founded on the Qur'an, a society of ignorance produces these kinds of character, all of which have a corrupted in understanding. When considered carefully however, we may recognize that men who live this kind of life cannot, in any real sense, find fulfillment in their lives.2012-01-21 02:03:15

I went to a BayChi meeting last night with my web UE team. The title
of the talk was "Hello
Morae, Farewell VHS!" by Emily Hebard and Joanna Sim from Intuit. The
talk was good and I learned a bit about Morae.
But for some reason I had got it into my head that Morae could be used
for remote user testing (with the users being remote as opposed to just
the viewers). It was my bad basically for not doing the research.
What my team and I really want to start doing is remote user testing.
I've heard a bit about Ethnio, which
looks quite promising for what we want to do here for adobe.com. Also
there is a lot of customizing that can be done to Breeze to
gear it up for use in remote user testing. So there are things out there
that can help us.
More than anything, what I would want out of a remote user testing is
just to allow users to click through a proposed experience on their own
without anyone "watching". The session would be recorded and include
mouse click data and other actions/events. In addition the user would
fill out a brief questionnaire related to the experience they just had.
They would be compensated in some manner and they'd be on their way.
Then, all the data would be magicked to a central repository where a
user experience professional could browse at will. Something like this
would really ease the overhead of running testing. Over the next month
or so the Web User Experience team will begin to explore and try out
various methods of creating a persistent, predictable, and actionable
input stream from site users (how's that for a mouthful of mumbo jumbo…).
If anyone reading this has had experience with remote user testing of web sites, I'd
love to hear about it.

• burlesque •
Pronunciation: bêr-lesk • Hear it!
Part of Speech: Noun
Meaning: 1. Anything that ridicules or caricatures its subject, such as a theatrical burlesque. 2. A ribald variety show with comic acts, dancing, and striptease, often called a burlesque show.
Notes: Never criticize English for using two letters like CH to represent only one sound, as in choir or psyche; French uses three (QUE) to represent the sound [k] at the end of words. Today's Good Word is a good example. Don't forget this rule when you use burlesque or similar ones with the ending -esque. You may use this word as a verb, to burlesque a subject, which provides for an adjective and noun the usual way: burlesquing.
In Play: In the US today's Good Word is generally wasted on a vulgar form of vaudeville focusing on striptease that disappeared around the 70s: "There are websites today that make a burlesque show look like a Sunday school class." But a burlesque is anything that, intentionally or unintentionally, caricatures the real thing: "That meeting this morning was a burlesque of a staff meeting: the boss did all the talking while we sat around quietly nodding."
Word History: Today's Good Word was traced shamelessly from the French word meaning "comical" without any change in the spelling. Of course, the French took it over from Italian burlesco with minimal change. The Italian word is based on burla "joke, put-on", a word the Italians picked up from Spanish. Spanish inherited the word from Late Latin burrae "nonsense", which came from burra "a shaggy (raw) wool garment". I would have to pull the wool over your eyes if I tried to explain the connection between "wool" and "burlesque". (Today we thank Samuel Keays for suggesting a funny little Good Word that has done the circuit of European languages.)

Re: BURLESQUE
I am not burlesquing when I say I am glad to be on G W and Alpha Agora once more. Many of you know how much this means to me.
Andrew Shaffer, thank you for your tireless effort in getting G W up and running. Dr Beard, thank you for being my number one mentor.

The Baltimore County Police Crash Team is investigating a Thursday night accident between a BMW and a piece of volunteer fire apparatus that injured one person.
The initial investigation into this incident has indicated that Squad 303 from the Lutherville Volunteer Fire Company and a BMW X5 had been traveling north-bound on York Road approaching Belfast Road in Timonium. Squad 303 was traveling in a north-bound lane, and attempted to make a left turn into the parking lot of Smyth Jewelers. The BMW X5 was traveling in the center turn only lane attempting to pass the fire truck. The BMW struck the squad unit as it attempted to make the turn.
The driver of the BMW was taken to Greater Baltimore Medical Center for treatment. Investigators determined that he was at fault for the accident and issued him several citations.
No personnel on the fire apparatus were injured.
Both vehicles received disabling damage in the collision and were towed from the scene.

Phan Favorite: the Video Guru
Aside from the remnants of a South Carolina lilt, there's little about Kelly Wearstler that isn't L.A. Pop into the interior designer's eponymous flagship on Melrose and you'll find ultraluxe Regency treasures that recall legendary city residents such as Rita Hayworth and Marilyn Monroe. And that's just her designs: In her off hours, Wearstler is famously committed to a punishing, five-days-a-week Barry's Boot Camp and kale juice regimen that could put any modern-day starlet to shame.
Yet, thanks to a side project designing the interiors for a forthcoming San Francisco hotel owned by L.A.-based Kor Group (The Avalon, Maion 140)—which has her making the eight-hour trek up the PCH on a monthly basis—the former Playboy playmate has turned her artistic gaze northward. "It's a totally different voice from L.A.," says Wearstler of the City by the Bay. "It's earthier, it's funkier—in many ways, it's more California." Herewith, Wearstler's picks for when she's in town.
For Wearstler, a trip to the Golden Gate City isn't complete without a visit to one of its many farmers markets. "You don't just go to them to buy your groceries," she says. "Here, it's an event." When she's not stocking up on organic wine and exotic nuts, Wearstler hits specialty bookstore William Stout Architectural Books. "I always walk out with a stack," she says.

Asthma Management: Quick-Relief and Controller Medications
The information provided here is meant to give you a general idea about each of the medicines listed below. Only the most general side effects are included, so ask your doctor if you need to take any special precautions. Use each of these medications as recommended by your doctor, or according to the instructions provided. If you have further questions about usage or side effects, contact your doctor.
Talk to your doctor about your treatment goals and preferences and work together to come up with a treatment plan that is right for you.
Short-acting rescue medications can be used to treat acute asthma symptoms or for long-term control.
Asthma Inhaler for a Child
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Children are more likely to benefit from inhaled medicines if a spacer is used with metered-dose asthma inhalers. The University of Arizona offers a table that compares the different brands of spacers. A study, though, found that there was no difference in how medication was delivered with homemade versus store-bought spacers. Talk to your doctor to find out what is right for you or your child.
Common names of beta-2-agonists (inhalers) include:
These drugs are bronchodilators, meaning they open the airways by relaxing the muscles around bronchial tubes. This can provide quick relief of acute symptoms. They can also be used as preventive medicines prior to exercise. You must be careful not to overuse these drugs and contact your doctor right away if your symptoms are not controlled.
Common side effects include:
Ipratropium is a bronchodilator. This is a type of medication that opens up narrowed breathing passages and may decrease mucus secretion. Tiotropium, a closely related medication, has also been studied for use in patients with asthma. These medications are taken by inhalation to help control the symptoms of lung diseases. Ipratropium and tiotropium help decrease coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath, and troubled breathing by increasing the flow of air into the lungs.
When ipratropium inhalation is used to treat acute, severe attacks of asthma, it is usually used in combination with other bronchodilators. While these drugs are not commonly used to treat asthma except in the emergency room setting, there is some evidence that tiotropium can reduce the need for oral or inhaled corticosteroids in people with very severe and persistent asthma.
Common side effects include:
Common names include:
These drugs are frequently used for a short duration to prevent the progression of moderate or severe symptoms, reverse inflammation, speed recovery, and reduce the risk of relapse. They are not truly rescue medications, but help prolong the effect of beta-2 agonist rescue.
Possible side effects include:
Magnesium sulfate may be helpful in treating adults with acute asthma.
Long-term "control" medications are used to achieve and maintain long-term management of symptoms and reduce inflammation.
Common names include:
These drugs suppress, control, and reverse inflammation. They can reduce the need for oral corticosteroids and rescue medication, and play a role in the long-term management of asthma.
Possible side effects include:
Common names include:
These drugs help reduce inflammation and prevent escalation of symptoms. Oral corticosteroids can produce more side effects than inhaled corticosteroids. Long-term use of oral corticosteroids is not generally recommended. However, your doctor may prescribe oral corticosteroids for long durations only when other treatments have failed to restore normal lung function and the risks of uncontrolled asthma are greater than the side effects of the medication.
Possible side effects include:
Common names include:
These drugs are occasionally used for long-term prevention of symptoms. They may modify inflammation and can be used as preventive treatment prior to exercise.
Possible side effects include:
Common names include:
These drugs provide long-term prevention of symptoms, especially nighttime symptoms and are often added to anti-inflammatory therapy such as inhaled corticosteroids. They may also be used as preventive treatment prior to exercise or contact with a known allergen. However, they should not be used during an acute attack.
Possible side effects include:
Long-acting inhalers, like salmeterol, may increase the risk of asthma-related death, intubation (putting a tube in the windpipe to breathe), and hospitalization. This is most likely to occur when they are mistakenly used as rescue inhalers. These medications are almost always prescribed together with an inhaled corticosteroid. Note : If you have any concerns, talk to your doctor.
Common names include theophylline.
This type of drug provides long-term control and prevention of symptoms, especially nighttime symptoms. It works by opening the airways and relaxing the muscles around the bronchial tubes. It also increases the ability to clear mucus out of the airway.
Possible side effects include:
Leukotriene inhibitors are medicines that decrease inflammation by preventing the action of leukotrienes. These types of medications are not used to relieve acute symptoms, but can be used to prevent your symptoms from occurring.
Leukotriene blockers are medicines that decrease inflammation by production the action of leukotrienes. Used for long-term control and prevention in mild persistent asthma.
Common names include:
This is an injected medication that binds to IgE, a type of antibody that contributes to allergic symptoms. These drugs provide long-term control and prevention of symptoms in mild, persistent asthma.
Combination Drugs
Common names include:
These drugs provide long-term control and prevention of symptoms by combining the effects of a long-acting beta-2-agonist and inhaled steroid into one formulation (which makes dosing more convenient).
The side effects are similar to those described above for the individual medications.
If you are taking medications, follow these general guidelines:

BATH coach Toby Booth has praised prop Paul James after he earned a start in Wales' Six Nations opener against Italy in Cardiff tomorrow.
The 31-year-old will win his 35th cap at the Millennium Stadium, replacing injured prop Gethin Jenkins as the reigning champions open their campaign.
While much of the focus has been on Bath's England contingent – with lock Dave Attwood named on the bench against France tomorrow while George Ford and Anthony Watson travel as cover – James' selection for Wales has also been noted by Bath's coaching team.
Booth said: "I'm delighted for Paul. He's been a strong competitor for a long time and hopefully he can get a run of games as a starter.
"He's a very good player who has performed exceptionally well for us. We've gone very well in the forwards and he's been a big part of that.''
Bath's Semesa Rokoduguni was expected to beat his knee injury in time to make his England Saxons debut against Scotland A tonight.
The Fiji-born British Army tank driver, 26, could not recover from knee trouble to face Ireland Wolfhounds at Kingsholm last weekend.
Kyle Eastmond starts at inside centre and prop Nathan Catt is among the replacements, while Bath's Tom Heathcote is on the bench for Scotland A.
Booth, meanwhile, is preparing Bath for a trip to Welford Road in their final LV= Cup group-stage match.
A win would secure home advantage for the visitors, while Leicester need victory to maintain their hopes of qualification for the knockout stages.

Discussion in 'Thumpers' started by crankshaft, Sep 6, 2011.
I have a 08 side stand I am not going to use.
Lets trade!
Pic of your design?
I pretty much copied this design.
From this thread. http://www.advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=560956
I personally used smaller bolt/nuts and a big round washer for a big foot. I also ground off the bolt head at an angle.
It should be 306 mm on the R model. Regular Enduro (and 2012 Enduro R) has a 295 mm one and SMC R 275 mm.
Thanks .
E stand with SM wheels is straight up and down.
Thanks much.
Sent from outer space with my Thunderbolt with Tapatalk.
It may not fit in your fanny tool kit.....but it sure is slick....watch this:
Now, back to trying to find Dakar on the tube
Ahhh so they've added to it so you can break the beads and remove the tires as well. Really nice looking stuff, but damn it's expensive!
I have used a rig similar to the one above but with one bead breaker....very handy for changing mousse.
Has anybody got experience will running smaller rear tires (knobbie) on the 690?
I don't want to get into a tire brand discussion, just a size question.
The tires I run on my 525 are 120/100-18. The next size is the 140/80-18. I was thinking if I dropped down to the 120 I might just be able to keep the lowering link installed and not hit the tank.
Another thought- I haven't noticed any posts or threads about drilling the drain holes in the 690 swing arm. Isn't this an issue with them as with the rest of the KTM line?
I have a 130/80-18 on the rear right now. I prefer the big ol' 140/80. You need to get that power to the ground!
I'm not familiar with the swing arm problem you talk about.. they fill with water?
I ran the Kenda trakmaster II on the rear in a 120/100-18 for a little over 1000 miles without any issue. The tire worked fine, no rim issues, no abnormal wear issues and I was on dirt and pavement. In the woods the narrower tired hooked up almost as well as a trials tire...it was very impressive. I also have run a trials tire on the rear with no issue.
130/80 vs 130/100.....the first number is the width of the tire and the second is the height relative to the width is what I think these numbers represent....if this is true....the "100" would be a taller sidewall.....
n'est pas?
And , yes, the EXC swingarms can take in water and it is a good idea to drill a 1/8 hole in the bottom of each swing arm a few inches from the back end....and check the holes occasionally as they can get plugged.
I currently have 3 rear wheels and really only need 2. I have a wide and a narrow. The wide is an adapted 640 wheel as my stock rear rim got trashed through normal riding. The stock rear hub was superlaced with an excel rim. I also have a new Rad rear wheel..both the rad and the stock/excel are unused and i would like to sell one. I will put an ad up in the flea market in the next day or two but figured i would post a heads up here. Both of the Excel wheels are 1.85 wide iirc...good for offroad tires...not so good for fitting rally mousse
I am trying to scratch some cash together to aid in a house down payment
R U sure? I have a 100/100 rear and the sidewall is really short.
The 100/80 has a taller sidewall.
same brand of tires? I have seen differences in heights between brands. should be width/(height as percenty of width) - diameter.
It's amazing the discrepancy in sizes between brands.
I found this. http://www.ehow.com/how_4841621_determine-motorcycle-tire-size.html
It seems a 120/100 would be 120mm tall and a 140/80 would be 112mm tall.
I guess the 140/80 would shorter.
I guess I could go for 100/100. That would surely give clearance.
What about the 690 swingarm?
I know we drill 950/990 swingarms too.
The 690 arm has some opennings in it as I recall...which makes me remember that I might have some stuff hidden in mine...hmmm better go have a look. I do recommend pulling out the adjuster bolts and coating them with copper anti-seize

About the Book
Portraits of time's effect on idealized beauty.
Everything in the physical world, both animate and inanimate, is challenged and effected by time. The quest for perfection is a continual battle against the forces of aging and injury, and maintenance of beauty requires increasing artifice.
These generic beauty icons are empty vessels, and achieve individuality and their own unique character only after they become marked by usage and decay. This damage is a reminder of our own mortality. Just as the humans they represent, these inanimate objects do not escape the ravages of time.
Damage of these facsimiles of ourselves is a memento of the transitory nature of perceived physical perfection and a reflection of the human experience.

There was a great turn-out as 51 ladies competed for the Sunshine Trophy at Willingdon.
The trophy is in memory of Viv Eley, Ladies Captain in 2007, who sadly died two years ago.
Just 30 minutes before the first tee time, the rain stopped and the skies cleared.
The trophy, presented by Jake Eley, Viv's son, was won by Olga Evans with a net 73 on countback from Sandra Ashman. The winner of the scratch prize was Kim Hepburn.
The Willingdon ladies had their annual ladies invitation to the men called the Stella Haffenden Salver.
48 men and women played on a very warm but windy day in this Greensomes competition: 1st: Jane Jones and Tony Uden 47 pts, 2nd: Jean Uden and John Payne 43pts, 3rd: Sandra Hendrie and OLi Hayes 42pts, 4th: Sylvia Huggair and Ray Callaghan 40pts.
Meanwhile 38 ladies played in the Cannon and Jenkins competition.
Some of the players abandoned the competition after eight holes due to the weather but the rest battled on and the final results show how difficult the conditions were. Cannon Trophy: Albena Bailey 34pts, Val Seal 33pts, Sandra Hendrie 33pts. Jenkins Trophy: Olga Evans 29pts, Jenny Fahy 29pts, Maureen Pereira 29pts.
Centenary Cup: 21 ladies competed for the Centenary Cup. The sun shone but the players had to battle against the strong wind. The winner was Rachel Holmes with a net 75 second was Rachel Sellence with a net 76 and Sandra Callaghan also with a net 76 the winner of the scratch prize was Kim Hepburn.
Willingdon Seniors welcomed Lewes to the first leg of this summer series.
Captain Malcolm Rolfe, together with John Heald, got Willingdon off to a good start by winning their match 4/3.
The next three matches went Willingdon's way. A momentary blip by Jack Taylor and Kelvin Hosken who lost 4/3 gave Lewes a short break from an onslaught that saw Willingdon win seven matches with just one loss.
Results: Malcolm Rolfe and John Heald won 4/3. Keiron Packham and Rhys Evans won 4/2 .Mike Rham and Rodger Savage won 5/4. Colin Jeff and Colin Wood won 5/4. John Paculabo and Brian Ellam won 3/2. Des Houston and Mike Dee won 3/2. Rodger Brookwell and Mac Campbell finished 1 up. Jack Taylor and Kelvin Hosken lost 4/3.
Two day's later Willingdon entertained the Seniors from Holtye G.C. Holtye struggled with the coastal wind and Willingdon took full advantage of the familiar conditions and beat Holtye 6/2. ]
Results: John Heald and John Creamer won 6/5. Colin Jeff and Mike Dee won 7/6. Des Cleal and Mac Cambell won 4/2.Keiron Packham and Rodger Brookwell won 3/2. Chris Hayles and Rodger Savage won 5/4. Colin Wood and Tim Marshal finished 1 up. Mike Williams and Stuart Gillies went 2 down. Chris Miscambell and John Paculabo finished 1 down

COLCHESTER United reporter Jonathan Waldron gives his analysis ahead of the big match between England and Italy in Brazil.
"Roy Hodgson wants his England side to attack Italy in their World Cup opener on Saturday night.
"It is an admirable sentiment but time will tell if that is the right approach, particularly given the likely temperatures his players are expected to encounter in Manaus.
"A top priority will be to stop Italy veteran Andrea Pirlo from dictating play. But with this side, England have their own players who can make a difference.
"With that in mind, the fitness of attacker Danny Welbeck, who enjoyed an influential game against Honduras last weekend, might well prove crucial."
My England team:
In goal: Joe Hart (pictured)
Defenders: Glen Johnson, Gary Cahill (pictured), Phil Jagielka, Leighton Baines
Midfielders: Steven Gerrard (pictured), Jorden Henderson, Adam Lallana, Danny Welbeck (pictured)
Forwards: Wayne Rooney, Daniel Sturridge (pictured)

Comment on "Tda" Hatsune Miku: "Our Angel is More Beautiful Than Ever!" by Kyle8910:
The only thing I do not approve of is the new "skirt" thing she has on her waist. The physics here do not work with its movement, and frankly, I don't like how how it looks.
The blush was a bit much.

Major Kusanagi was most certainly human. She did have an entirely cybernetic body, but her brain was still normal. Granted, almost everyone had cyberization done to their brains so they could interface with the world. It is this part that can be hacked or used to read/write data to the actual brain. This is sometimes called the Shell. In the movie, they start by showing a body being formed from nothing. This is not the major, but just shows a cyborg body being made. If you follow the original …

It's been a while, but some parts I remember would be the point where Kyo was preparing to be taken away to the room he would never leave. The place his grandfather lived his whole life in. The end of the series, or at least what happened to the curse made me cry out of joy and sadness. I actually felt for Akito by that time.

>Cross Training>Water Running
Hey GP, sorry to hear about that, man. If I'm not mistaken, it should be done in deep water with no ground impact.

My YMCA doesn't have a deep pool.
How deep? 5ft should be sufficient for someone your height to use a belt and have a zero impact workout.
The Pfitzinger link is good. Aquajogger also has a "handbook" online: http://www.aquajogger.com/blog/?page_id=128
The process is the goal.
Men heap together the mistakes of their lives, and create a monster they call Destiny.
Hi -- I'm currently in a boot due to a broken metatarsal, and have been exclusively pool running since Nov. 4. My coach strongly nixed doing intervals nearly every day (per Pfitzinger), and instead wants me to replicate my weekly running schedule in the pool as exactly as I can (obviously, no hill workouts right now).
What I can tell you so far is that I've lost some strength in my glutes and calves, but my aerobic fitness seems to be holding up -- my resting HR is about 42 when I'm at peak fitness, and it's been hovering around 44-45 the past week. I don't feel like I'm working that hard during my easy pool runs (the intervals and tempos are a different story), but I am regularly surprised by how much I apparently sweat in the pool (I've lost up to 4 pounds - about 3% of my body weight -- after a 3 hour easy pool run).
As for depth, I am only 5'4", and yet I've found that 5 feet is not deep enough for me. Even with a belt, when I'm jogging my chin grazes the water, and my toes will brush bottom in 5 feet.
Shameless self-promotion: I've been blogging a bit about poolrunning/being an injured runner here: http://wellimtryingtorun.blogspot.com/
Everyone's gotta running blog; I'm the only one with a POOL-RUNNING blog.

You might benefit from a little more buoyancy via an extension to your belt. Typical guidance is a pool depth 6 - 9 inches less than your height, with use of additional flotation will make it work dependent on body type.
I'm a bit confused -- by "extension to the belt", do you mean "more than one belt". I'm really not sure how I would do that. I'm not tall enough to two buckled one above the other (even the smallest ones bridge the length from my pelvis to the middle of my ribs. as for buckling one on top of the other -- my arms would end up sticking straight out to the side.
I'm a bit confused -- by "extension to the belt", do you mean "more than one belt".

Also, different brands of belt provide different amounts of flotation.
Ah. Not enough room for those. I wear my own belt (made by aquajogger) and have also tried a few other types at the pool. In each case, the foam part of the belt wraps around me enough that there is no space for anything additional.
Not a big deal -- I've got a wide selection of pools with aqua jogging lanes that are 6+ feet deep , so I'm fine anyway.

How on earth can you bear 3 hour pool runs? You're made of sterner stuff than I am. The boredom just kills me. 90 minutes is the longest I've been able to stand the pool.

I was thinking the same thing. 3 hours???
I only do 3 hours every other week. Key tricks:
1) I do them in a very nice pool that has a 50m lane reserved for pool running. So each "lap" takes about 8-10 minutes. Surprising what a difference that makes
2) I have a waterproof case for my ipod Nano -- so I have podcasts, music, and radio.
3) I coordinate with friends (my coach has many of his runners supplement with pool running). Usually, I'm able to schedule company for at least 2 of those 3 hours.
...just wandered over here,
but since
I've been poolrunning for 14-months now,
is some general info if anyone is interested
..nothing takes the place of persistence.....
So if Feb training for Boston, I tend to fracture things. 2008 IFx 4th metatarsal mid feb, and Pool trained and cross trained hard and was able to run a 3:19 Boston marathon with no injuries afterwards.( I had run 3:16 the year before without injuries) My first run on land was the week before the marathon.
2010 Fx 2nd Metatarsal Mid Feb, pool ran ect and ran 3:14 at Boston no injuries after..
This year stress fracture in Tibia... yup, doing the pool running thing again...
As boring as it is pool running really does work well.. Havent done it yet this year, but one of the pools has beachballs for use... I recall kicking a beachball up and down the pool lane for over an hour... at least it changed it up a bit..

Dumb question, but I'd rather learn from someone else's painful mistakes: what do you wear, running shorts or swim shorts? Are there even chafing issues to avoid?
I don't mind looking [more] stupid, climbing out of the pool in running shorts, if it means no grievously-chafed bits.

25 Things About Emma Stone
Think you know everything there is to know about 'The Amazing Spider-Man' star Emma Stone? Think again!
-Lucia Peters
It's no secret that we here at BettyConfidential adore Emma Stone. Whether she's cracking us up with her impeccable comedic timing or wowing us with her daring red carpet style, she's the kind of star we'd love to have as our best friend. And hey, guess what? Her new movie, The Amazing Spider-Man, has just been released! In honor of the occasion, we thought we'd give you all a crash course in everything Emma Stone. Wondering how old she was when she first moved to LA? Want to know how she ended up with her distinctive-sounding voice? Read on—and be sure to catch The Amazing Spider-Man, in cinemas now!
1. Emily Jean Stone was born on November 6, 1988 in Scottsdale, Arizona. That makes her 23 years old—a fact which surprises us, given how mature she is!
2. Wait a minute—Emily? Yep. She chose the name "Emma" when she joined the Screen Actors Guild because "Emily Stone" was already taken. Her family and friends still call her Emily.
3. She's the first in her family to go into showbiz. Her mother, Krista, is a stay-at-home mom, and her father, Jeff, is a contractor.
4. Emma is the oldest child in her family. She's got one brother, Spencer, who is two years younger than she is.
5. She's of Swedish descent. Her paternal grandfather emigrated to the US through Ellis Island—at which point his last name was Anglicized to "Stone." Some of her ancestors lived in Pennsylvania Dutch Country before making their way west.
6. Although she's very close to her family, Emma is the black sheep. "My parents are both very funny, but they're also relatively soft-spoken, normal human beings, while I'm just a lunatic," she's said. "I don't know where this loud, ballsy, hammy ridiculousness came from." We don't know where it came from either, but we're glad it's here!
7. Emma admits that the "high school experience" is a little foreign to her: She was homeschooled from age 12 onwards and convinced her mother to move to LA with her when she was 15.

Emma's Easy A audition tape. Love the use of an actual webcam!
8. Emma has been acting since she was a kid. Growing up, she was a member of the Valley Youth Theatre, a regional theatre in Phoenix. Her first production was The Wind in the Willows (she was 11 years old at the time).
9. After she started homeschooling, she appeared in no fewer than 16 productions at the Valley Youth Theatre, including a whole bunch of musicals like Honk, Schoolhouse Rock Live!, and Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. She also—surprise!—performed with the theatre's improv comedy troupe.
10. Guess how she convinced her parents to let her move to Hollywood? The answer might surprise you: She made a PowerPoint presentation. "I was really into computers and I got into PowerPoint," she once told Access Hollywood. "It looks pretty old school now," she went on, "but at the time I thought it was the hippest thing. I had it on my computer and made them popcorn and pointed out some key points… I guess it worked." We're going to go with "yes."
11. You probably already know this one by now, but although she's known for her fiery red locks, Emma is actually a natural blonde. In fact, she didn't land her first role until she dyed her hair brown: "When I first moved to LA," she recalls, "I had this agent who thought, because I was blonde, that I only wanted to play cheerleaders. So she'd send me out for all these parts where they thought: 'What a weird 15-year-old. It's not going to work out!'… so one day, in a fit of trying to do something different, I just dyed my hair dark brown and got my first role a week later."
12. Director Judd Apatow was the one who first had Emma go red; she tested as a brunette for Superbad, but after she was cast, Judd told her to dye it red. "I've mostly had red hair ever since," she says.
13. Think it's weird that hair color has played such a large part in whether Emma has gotten work or not? Don't worry; she thinks it's weird, too.
More fun facts about Emma, including how she ended up with her distinctive voice, up next!

Q & A — October 2002
By Capt. Ken Kreisler
Put to the Test
| Part
2: Masking tape, epoxy, and more
it really matter what kind of masking tape I use for my paint job?
A.L., via e-mail
The wrong masking tape may have poor solvent resistance or glue, resulting in paint "creep" under it, causing a poor line. When taking the tape off, too much adhesive can remain, causing you to do extra work in removing it. In addition, any adhesive not removed will create problems with later applications.
Regardless of its quality, tape that is left on too long can actually bond to the surface, making removal difficult. This usually results in damage to the surface area and, once again, having to do the job over.
While you may experience sticker shock at the price of some masking tapes, in the long run you're better off with the superior product. Check with your paint manufacturer for its recommendations.
was working with epoxy and noticed that the mixture became very hot and
cured much too quickly. What did I do wrong? L. P., via e-mail
starter solenoid on my small diesel engine clicks, but the starter does
not run. How do I troubleshoot this problem? M.G., via e-mail
If that proves a dead end, next remove the battery terminal clamps. Clean them as well as the battery posts. Reinstall the clamps and tighten them securely.
If the starter still does not run, connect your 12-volt house battery to the starter battery with jumper cables. If it's a no-go, the starter will have to be replaced. Depending on its condition, you might want to have it rebuilt and kept aboard as a spare. If you do so, wrap the starter in an oil-soaked towel to keep any corrosion from getting at it.

Kenneth Edward Doyle
Ken (Kenny) Doyle, age 89, of Waunakee, passed away peacefully surrounded by family at the Agrace HospiceCare Center on February 16, 2013. Ken was born on February 24, 1923, the son of Steve and Mary McGuire Doyle of Highland, Wisconsin. Kenny had a most amazing journey...
As a young man, he joined the Air Force as a fighter pilot in World War II. After returning from the war, Ken was a member of the Wisconsin Air National Guard. He dove into entrepreneurship when he and partner Pierce Nolan purchased The Congress Restaurant and Bar in downtown Madison, which became a Madison icon.
His love of entrepreneurship continued throughout his life as he, along with a few partners, founded the Madison Little League. After leaving the restaurant business, he purchased a farm and enjoyed the quiet farm life. But farm life wasn't enough for Ken. He went on to own and operate several dry cleaning businesses. Still wanting new challenges, he pursued real estate by developing a subdivision in East Bristol. He also delved into the vacation business when he purchased and operated a resort in Minocqua.
Even in his mature years, Ken enjoyed turning life into business. Ken was a firm believer that any man will get old when they retire. Keeping true to his belief, he purchased several vans, hired staff, and began a newspaper delivery service for the Wisconsin State Journal. Ken enjoyed being active and worked right up until the last month of his life.
Along with his passion for starting new adventures, his loves were flying, basketball, politics, and his pets. In the early years, Ken owned his own plane and enjoyed flying and giving rides. State basketball tourneys and engaging in politics were some of his favorite pastimes. Along with that, Ken truly treasured his animals and was very close with his dogs. Wherever Kenny went, he was bound to run into someone he knew. His character and his passion for life were admired by many.
Ken is survived by his loving partner of nine years, Ann Zerbel of Waunakee, and six children, Terry (Anne) Doyle, Madison, Tom (Ellen) Doyle, Madison, Jim Doyle, Madison, Sheila (Gary) Zweifel, Monona, Debi (Barry) Doyle, Madison, and Julie (Bruce) Petersen, Waunakee. Ken is also survived by his siblings Eileen Penasa, Pewaukee, Jack Doyle, Camp Douglas, Ruth (David) McNeil, Sun Prairie, Alice (Jim) Franzen, Dodgeville, Judy (Jim) Meyers, Kaukauna, and a sister-in-law Nancy Doyle, Lancaster. Ken is also survived by 14 grandchildren and 18 great-grandchildren.
Ken was preceded in death by his parents Steve and Mary Doyle, his daughter Sharon Brady, wife Cecilia Doyle, wife Kathryn Doyle, sister and brother-in-law Joyce and Earl Fecht, brother Pat Doyle, brother-in-law Peter Penasa, and sister-in-law Ann Doyle.
Visitation will take place from 9-11 a.m. at First Presbyterian Church, 5763 County Road Q, Waunakee on Wednesday, February 20, 2013 . Funeral services will be held directly after at 11:00 a.m. with a luncheon following. Family burial will be held at 2:30 p.m. at Resurrection Cemetery, 2705 Regent Street, Madison. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to Agrace HospiceCare (agracehospicecare.org).
The family would like to thank the doctors, nurses, and staff at St. Mary's Hospital ICU and Agrace HospiceCare for their compassion and care.

The Olympic Stadium's re-opening could be delayed until 2016, it has been confirmed - a disclosure that has prompted Sebastian Coe to warn he will keep a close watch on developments.
Lord Coe won a hard-fought battle to bring the 2017 World Athletics Championships to the stadium and will not want any delays to undermine the event. Coe, who was elected as chairman of the British Olympic Association on Wednesday, is also vice-president of the IAAF who run the World Championships.
Coe said: "I am also the client with my position in the IAAF so we will be watching that very closely."
Dennis Hone, chief executive of the London Legacy Development Corporation, told the London Assembly that the original re-opening date of the stadium of August 2014 was "completely out" and may not happen until two years after that.
There are four bids on the table about the future use of the venue, including from West Ham, who remain the favourites although they want to have retractable seating installed over the running track.
Meanwhile, Coe promised he would fight for tougher penalties for drugs cheats after being elected unopposed as the new chairman of the BOA. Coe said he was disappointed when the BOA's lifetime ban for athletes found guilty of doping was overturned in court in May, and that he will seek to enforce a zero-tolerance approach.
He said: "My stance is still non-negotiable. I will chair an organisation that will always take a zero-tolerance approach to drug abuse in sport."
The BOA have a substantial deficit, perhaps more than £4million, after their spending on London but outgoing chairman Lord Moynihan claimed that should be covered by an expected £5million windfall from the London 2012 organising committee (LOCOG).
Any surplus from the running for the Games will see £5million go to the BOA and £2.5million to ParalympicsGB before the Government has any claim on what remains.
LOCOG say they are working towards breaking even, but Moynihan said: "I have comfort that the surplus distribution will be paid, that LOCOG will not be making a loss, but that is my personal view."
