With years of successful experience that can provide valuable insight, your Business Coach will help you develop long-term and short term goals and strategies, as well as improve your business in areas that you might have overlooked. You may be able to survive in business without the help of a Coach, but it's almost impossible to thrive...

Table 7:
Common carriers of nanomedicines.
Sl. No.
Name of the carrier
Explanation and advantages
Spherical vesicle with a phospholipid bilayer
It is used to convey vaccines, drugs, enzymes, or other substances to organs
Polymer miscelles
Nano-sized particle (~10 to ~100 nm) composed of block or graft copolymers, typically having a so-called core-shell structure. The core contains the drugs, while the shell interacts with the solvent making the nanoparticle stable in the liquid
Especially useful for poorly water-soluble pharmaceutical active ingredients. The stability of the drug is also increased. Undesirable side effects are lessened, as contact of the drug with enzymes in biological fluids is minimized
A macromolecule with highly branched 3D structure, consisting of three main components: core, branches and end groups, and providing a high degree of surface functionality and versatility. It originates from the Greek
, meaning "tree"
It is small enough to enter cells carrying the drug. It has a great potential in drug nanoformulations for melanoma therapy owing to advantages, such as thermodynamic stability, high solubility in water, the controllable size (usually 1 to over 10 nm), morphology and functional groups on the surface, and uniform size distribution

My question is, besides barbecue sauce, what do you recommend to add to the roaster ater I slice the brisket to keep it moist and flavorful. Is there a specific sauce that works best? I was thinking a au jus, but just not sure. Any insight is appreciated. Thanks!

Wednesday, July 9, 2008
I found this Center for Arms Control and Non-Proliferation chart via Matthew Yglesias last night. As you can see, it uses a side by side comparison of U.S. and Iranian military capacity to effectively debunk the idea that Iran poses any kind of existential threat to the United States. Yglesias acknowledges the risk to regional stability represented by Iran acquiring a nuclear weapons capacity, but says that's "a far cry from saying that Iran is, as such, any kind of serious military threat."
My first thought last night was that this line of argument is convincing because it blurs the distinction between existential threat and military threat. In particular, it ignores the fact that Iran is aggressively pursuing a ballistic missile capacity which will soon put it in the position of striking Israeli targets, and eventually put European capitals within range. My first thought this morning was that had I posted that thought last night, the news that Iran just test launched a Shahab 3 missile capable of reaching Tel Aviv would have made me look like a genius.
The fact is that for over twenty years now, Iran has been a hostile nation that has exercised a destabilizing influence in the region and demonstrated a willingness to use force -- including terrorist attacks carried out by proxies and state agents -- to further its interests. They are not the only nation that fits that description, but they are the most prominent among the group. The fact that American policy towards Iran over that time might not have been ideally formulated to modulate that posture is an exacerbating factor, but not a causal one, and it doesn't make Iran's posture any less real.
For a variety of reasons, it would be counterproductive to try to achieve our strategic objectives vis à vis Iran through military means. That means we need to engage them diplomatically, which entails allowing for a realistic recalculation of Iran's regional status, to our detriment. But we need to do that clearsightedly, which means recognizing both the difficulties of negotiating with Tehran (the response to the P5+1's latest offer on the nuclear dossier is an example), and also the threat a hostile Iranian state poses to our interests and those of our allies.
The case against a military approach to Iran can be made without minimizing or ignoring the military threat Iran poses. It is far from being existential, either to the U.S. or to our allies. But it exists.

The events of the year A.D. 47 open with Claudius as emperor. The machinations of his wife, Messalina, are laid bare, along with her debaucheries. When her mischief finally gets her killed, she is succeeded by Agrippina the Younger in A.D. 49. Her wiles are no less mischievous and she angles to get her son, Nero, in line to be emperor. The reign of Claudius finally comes to a close when he is poisoned by Agrippina amid uprisings in Britain and Germany, and renewed hostility in the east.
Tacitus is most famous for his amazing descriptions of the reign of Nero, one of the most ruthless and sadistic monarchs of all time. It is all superbly described in some of the most beautiful and exciting prose ever written. You will hear how Nero corrupted everyone in his reach...and murdered those he could not corrupt. Learn how he had his own mother killed, how he reacted to the great fire that destroyed Rome, and how he pitilessly built his enormous new palace on the charred ruins of the city while everyone around him lived in squalor. Meanwhile, tumultuous events in the provinces are reported in great detail and with penetrating insight. All in all, The Annals are one of the great miracles of historical writing, and place Tacitus on a footing with the greatest historians of his or any other day.
This production uses the famous translation by Church and Brodribb, considered the finest in the English language.
The Complete Works of Tacitus continues in Volume 3 with The History.

"Uninteresting - Not an "Easy Read""
I thought I could learn some interesting Roman history, but there is little of interest in the way this book was written - my fault for not getting the author. You'll hear a number of different full names in one sentence, most of whom the average person has never heard of. It makes this very difficult to follow. I quit listening after the first 90 minutes...

Olga was wriing to me for a very long time. I have over 30 letters form her. She went away, because i told her i found her on this site. Then Tatyana started to write me out of the Blue. Tatyana did ask for money by western Union. Tatyana wrote me a letter then signed it Olga.

Report N2 (added on December, 6, 2006)
5 different profiles with this girls picture appeared on American Singles in a three day period. I was contacted by two of the profiles. Obviously the actual scammers were different people working for the same group. Letters were coming from two different e-mail addresses. It was the usual pre-written copy/paste letters.
Jessey (USA)
Report N3 (added on December, 14, 2006)
Sent emails, which were found to be used by other known scammers. Money requests for travel to US did come eventually. Found some of the pictures I had on this website, with the same emails being used, but with a different name and location.
Tom (USA)
Report N4 (added on January, 11, 2007)
I have recently been contacted be "Irina", who in her profile says she is living in Staffordshire, in England. On replying to my initial contact, she then says she lives in Sanchursk, in the Volga region of Russia.
She says she is a 29 yr old landscape gardener, though her details on this site say she is 26 yrs.
I have been very weiry about contacting her, having been mis-led by another Russian "lady", though I ceased contact when money became an issue. This time I thought, "they can't all be scammers in Russia", now i'm beginning to wonder !
Although I haven't had requests for money yet, I did think it wise to check on this site and came across a photo that looks remarkably similar to the one i received. Do judge for yourself.

" Brand: Spinmaster / Age: 3+ / Type: Sand "
In the past I had heard a lot about Moon Sand, but always thought it was quite a messy product and therefore had never bought any for my daughter. We were given a set to try out by a friend who had two a couple of months ago, so being the kind parent that I am, myself and my daughter sat down to play with it one rainy afternoon.
She was very excited as she loves her Moon Dough, and I couldn't explain to her that Moon sand is different.
As we opened the box, I realised the box actually acted as the play area. I liked this idea, as despite having laminate flooring in the lounge, I still wasn't relishing having to hoover up stray particles of sand for days afterwards.
Within the set we received two different coloured bags of sand, some moulds with different patterns on, and a sweet factory kit that I had to set up to get the production line running in our factory.
First impressions of the set itself were good. I liked the way the play set was half set up within the case, with a ramp for the made sand sweets to travel down to the base. The areas for the production line were pre set out and all we had to do after clicking the machine together was slot into the correct space.
I decided we would only use one bag and colour of sand on our first go, mainly because my daughter is still quite young for this play set despite being suitable for ages three and above, but I know an older child would probably get more out of the play set itself, when it moves on to designing the sweets with different colours and baking them to paint finished sweets at a later date.
The sand itself it very crumbly to start with but the box does state that you can mould it slightly in your fingers to firm it up. I found this worked marginally well, but despite not being a fine grain, I did find small clumps would fall from the whole piece you had moulded to make firm quite often.
The idea of the play set is to create different moulded sweets within the machine. Once you have chosen your mould and compacted the sand into one, you set it in the candy press machine and pull the handle down. This triggers the wheel on the machine and turns it, compressing the sand within the mould and pushes it onto the down ramp.
Once at the end of the ramp, the mould can be turned upside down and most of the time a perfect sweet made of sand will pop out and can be placed within the shop area of the play set to be sold or played with as required.
The two main flaws of the production line I immediately found was that you could only make one sweet well at any given time, the moulds popped out of the wheel if more than one were in at one time. On the third outing this set got, the handle of the candy press machine made a huge cracking sound as we turned it and hasn't worked properly since.
From my daughter's point of view, she has had loads of fun just compressing the sand into moulds and making her own sweet shop from it.
From an adult's point of view, I find the set to be quite pointless. I understand imagination plays a big part in many games and sets you can buy, but there doesn't seem to be a lot of point to this set other than putting sand into moulds, taking it out and breaking up again to start over again.
If you decided to bake and paint the sweets after making, then you have to understand that the sand you were provided with would diminish quite quickly and then the set itself would become even more useless.
The sand itself could be left out in the air and not packed away in a sealed bag without too many effects as we found out. I do find that despite keeping within the play set area, there is still plenty of sand that escapes and gets onto the floor.
Overall I think the play set is very overpriced at around £18. I personally would rather spend my money on better value play sets that are made stronger and have a purpose to them.

The Coca-Cola Company (KO - Free Report) is set to report its first-quarter 2013 results on Apr 16 before the market opens. Last quarter, it posted a 2.3% positive surprise. Let's see how things are shaping up for this announcement.
Growth Factors this Past Quarter
Earnings beat the Zacks Consensus Estimates in the fourth quarter by a penny. It grew 15% from the prior-year quarter as tepid revenue growth was offset by solid operating margins, which gained from two extra selling days and lower-than-expected currency headwinds. Revenues increased 4% in the quarter as benefits from volume growth was offset by an almost flat price/mix.
Volumes improved 3% in the quarter as volume growth in North America, Eurasia and Africa, and Latin America offset the weakness in Europe, China and Japan. The still beverages did better than the carbonated beverages. Changing consumer preferences, increasing health consciousness, rising obesity concerns, possible new taxes on sugar-sweetened beverages and growing regulatory pressures are affecting sparkling beverage sales for Coca-Cola as well as its peers, such as PepsiCo, Inc. (PEP - Free Report) .
Earnings Whisper
Our proven model does not conclusively show that Coca-Cola is likely to beat earnings this quarter. That is because a stock needs to have both a positive Earnings ESP (Read: Zacks Earnings ESP: A Better Method) and a Zacks Rank of #1, 2 or 3 for this to happen. That is not the case here, as you will see below.
Zacks ESP: The Earnings ESP is 0.00%.
Zacks Rank #4 (Sell): KO carries a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell). We caution against stocks with Zacks #4 and #5 Ranks (Sell rated stocks) going into the earnings announcement, especially when the company is seeing negative estimate revisions momentum.
Other Stocks to Consider
Here are some other companies you may want to consider, as our model shows they have the right combination of elements to post an earnings beat this quarter:
Molson Coors Brewing Company (TAP - Free Report) , with Earnings ESP of +2.86% and a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy)
Mondelez International, Inc. (MDLZ - Free Report) , with an Earnings ESP of +2.94% and a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold)

Good Question: Wardrobe or Wall Closet Solution?
We own a 100+ year old victorian home where the closets are so small and shallow that our hangers don't fit. We're thinking of converting the closet itself into shelves and buying a waredrobe to place along the wall. Can anyone recommend a waredrobe that will 1) line one wall in our bedroom and 2) match the decor of an old victorian?
We looked at the Ikea waredrobes, and although they do fit criteria #1, they are a bit too modern for our house. Any other places for us to look in the Boston area? Thanks, Grace
The system in the image above is Pax by Ikea with the Hemnes real wood doors (which come in many other finishes). We think it has the nicest "traditional" feel of the Ikea systems without looking too country. Anyone have a non-Ikea source for wall wardrobes?

Goals from Tomáš Necid and Václav Kadlec earned the Czech Republic a 2-0 victory in Liechtenstein as Michal Bílek's side won for the second time in five days in UEFA EURO 2012 qualifying Group I.
Necid opened the scoring with 12 minutes played before Kadlec struck the second on 29 minutes at the Rheinpark in Vaduz. Though Petr Čech in the visiting side's goal was called into action on a number of occasions, the Czech Republic emerged worthy winners to build on their 1-0 victory against Scotland on Friday.
Zdeněk Pospěch and Tomáš Rosický tested Liechtenstein goalkeeper Peter Jehle early on, but the home side were soon creating chances of their own. Sandro Wieser nodded narrowly over from close range, and then Philippe Erne struck a post with a header. In response, the Czech Republic made their next chance pay when Necid drove his shot under the bar from the edge of the area.
Kadlec doubled the lead from a similar distance 17 minutes later and the goal served to dampen the home side's morale. In control, the Czech Republic created several openings after the break, but a combination of poor finishing and Jehle's goalkeeping kept them at bay. At the other end, Franz Burgmeier spurned a good opportunity with 65 minutes played, and with that went Liechtenstein's chances as they slipped to their third straight defeat in the section.

Just lurking here... :o) This will definitely stay on my watched list. Thank you for starting this J2222!

Wow! This is unreal. You guys are great!
You will end up in the comfort of your recliner or bed either looking at those sites or this one like me. Nothing better on a rainy day or even a sunny day!
And just think of the money we will save. I am glad everyone will enjoy having the ability to do this free.
the only negative I can see is I can't cut out pictures and glue them in my inspiration binder. printing them out might work for some things.
I actually have an inspirational binder of sorts on my computer. I also keep it on my flashdrive so I can use it to show others who might be interested on their computers. I have an old laptop that I keep handy for that sort of thing too. Many things I see online I just take print screens of and put those in Word docs that are placed in folders under the title of what I am interested in such as gardening, or art, etc. You can copy pictures that you see and paste them into the word doc too. Did any of that make sense? I have a library of sorts with many different topics in their little yellow folders. My kids make fun of me because I have so many but they are so easy to reference, actually easier than a book or file box.
Elena, yes, I do this, too. See...you are not crazy, or perhaps we are both a little nuts? ;-) I just started doing this. I used to print out photos of things I liked, but then I had to file the print outs...and filing is easy to put off until it's overwhelming, and DH complained I was using too much ink.....
Don't people with like interests just love each other? I have been doing it for quite a long time. I have a history of loving libraries and volunteered in our very large church library for about 10 hours weekly for 20 years. Sorting, filing and storing media is a real love of mine so I guess it just comes naturally for me to turn the computer into a storage library of sorts. I have kept many boxes of well labeled stored magazine or newspaper photos for many, many years. I must look back over those when I get time and then dump the information that is no longer relative to anything I am doing these days. I will probably scan what I do want to keep and store it on the computer or one of my external hard drives. I have a 1T drive and am requesting a 2T one for Christmas. Oh my! Just can't get enough toys!!!!!
Isn't that a funny one....I love libraries, too! I used to volunteer at the school library when kids were small......they had the children write thank you cards to me one Christmas....one little kid wrote me: "Thank you for wasting your time at the library"...lol. I do not want to admit how many paper files I have.....I recently went through many of them, and threw stuff out, but I did keep many many things......of course.... ;-) A scanner would be the ultimate.....and then I'll be asking for larger drives, too. You gave me some great ideas, thanks.
WOW ... and now I have even more reason to be sitting here .....lol
I am always glad to help folks add to their addictions when they are harmless......or at least not as harmful as some things we could be doing. :>) Well, it could be worse.....at least we aren't ax murderers!!!!!! Denimangle, you inspire me on to greater things whenever I read your posts wherever they happen to be. You are an enabler as well as I and aren't we pleased that we can help others? The more the merrier are welcome into our little enabling gang, I say..........
Just so enough people keep subscribing to the paper magazines to keep them going. :-D Or they just might decide to charge for "online subscriptions" too as many of the newspapers do. Even the NYT online is preparing for that.
oh my Elena you make me blush....it is a big circle I believe we feed off each other ")
... I was thrilled the day I found T2T on DG just knowing there were other trashers out there to chat with and bounce ideas off of .
Clarksville Gardener, I think as long as the magazines are supported mainly by ads, they can probably continue if even on a smaller scale. I know that many of the subscriptions that are offered are almost free when one considers the cost of mailing, etc. I figure the only way that they can do that and still make any money is because of the ads.
Demi, I am only saying what I feel in my heart, that you are an inspiration to those of us who try to be creative in a less costly manner. Personally I take great delight in restoring things to their former glory or creating new things out of old. I recently helped my daughter in her yard sale. After it was over I brought home a huge amount of things that she was going to trash or that the charity where she considered taking them would have trashed them. I spent weeks bringing them back to be almost like new things. My husband tickled me when he said that he was so proud to take and leave that bunch of stuff at the Good Will pick up site. Demi, now that I have you "cornered", did you ever make any more of those blue angels that I wanted to buy from you? Isn't it great that we have a place to congregate and share ideas? I feel that way about the Trash to Treasure forum and all of you guys.
Elena you are talking about this type of angel ?
I did make up some havent taken pictures yet . have a fundraiser to get to this after noon (for a young Vet that has lost both his legs and one arm) so sad .. ill try to get back to the shop for pictures tomorrow you wanted the clear glass & blue angels right
For some reason your photo is not showing up right now (may be DG or may be my computer at fault) but I have a copy of what I want somewhere in my photo files. I will see if I can find it and send you. You had told me they aren't all alike and I told you I liked blue if you have it at any time. For Christmas, I also would like to have a Dr. Pepper trivet for my daughter who would like to steal mine. LOL
I am no longer quite the optimist I once was. ^_^
I understand Cville. Once we have added a little age to our lives and look around us far and wide, that can happen. I too am not a "cockeyed optimist" (ref. the song) any longer.
The photo now shows up for me. Yes, that is the type I referred to.
Elena . I have DP bottles ready to go & ill check the angles in the morning to see what colors I made if no blues ill make one this week I have some other glass to fire ..
If you can come anywhere close to the colors in the one I sent you by private Dmail, let me know. That is the one you are keeping for yourself. (We both have great taste don't we? :>)) Send me photos of the colors you do have and let me choose. Don't make this a life or death matter as I have waited for a long time and don't mind waiting longer.
LOL yes we do ...she is the first .. must keep her :)
I understand.......She is YOUR angel.
I have another one
I use this a lot for my grandkids.
Thanks for posting that. I will add it to my list.
leakari: Thanks! I'll use this one for GDDs!

Good one!!! Wow! This list is awesome.
Thanks! I didn't know about the country sample mag....very nice ideas!
I save any books, both hardcover and pocket books and when I get a box full I take them to the VA hospital. When the library has book sales I go through their books and buy what I can to put in the box, even if they aren't something I would like myself. Everyone doesn't like the same things.
Now, I found out the other day by googling the VA donations that they will also take magazines. So, there is another outlet for any extras you all have.
Just a thought. Oh, BTW, someone also told me they like Jigsaw puzzles, and probably crossword puzzles, too. I didn't look on their site to see, but don't know why not. Any you have worked and are finished with I am sure would be appreciated. Cookies, candies, etc. (not used)
It was also suggested that senior centers like things like those. I am sure there are tons of places I have missed and you all are probably aware of them. So, any posts would be appreciated. If we put our heads together we could think of them I am sure. LIke maybe nursing homes . . . . . . . Another thought, possibly books could go into Christmas packages to the military fellows and gals in foreign countries???
Seems once you start thinking, all kinds of things pop into your head. LOL, have a nice Thanksgiving everyone. Jeanette
The schools here like to get donations of old magazines. So do the kids. There are very few magazines or books for sale here. I look for things in Spanish when I'm in the US. Tony's daughter loves books and loves to read. I've brought her lots of books in Spanish and craft books which are mostly in English but have lots of pictures. She's in high school now and will probably follow her two older brother to college. kb
Jnette: Thanks for the ideas on helping others.....many of us think of these projects at this time of year, but donations are needed year round. I just stuff to my local VietNam vets trucks parked in various locations near here. I am appalled by some neighbors who throw good stuff in the trash.....yes, it's good for those of us who go dump diving, but think of all the good stuff that is wasted.....
katie: Tony's kids seem very smart and interested in school, too...a wonderful combination....they will go far and more likely to keep out of trouble.....give yourself a pat on the back for helping to guide Tony's DD in the right direction.....

By Ivan Carter
Washington Post Staff Writer
Monday, May 1, 2006
In his team's biggest game of the season, Gilbert Arenas was having one of the worst games of his life. His trusty jump shot was clanging off the rim, the driving lanes normally open to him were clogged and the Washington Wizards went into halftime of last night's crucial game against the Cleveland Cavaliers trailing by 11 points.
Looking for a change in performance, Arenas changed his clothes. Off came the sneakers, his jersey and game shorts. He even stripped off the padded undershorts he wears to protect him from hard fouls and even harder falls.
"I had to get out of that first uniform," Arenas said. "That first uniform was bad luck for me."
Properly outfitted, Arenas snapped out of his first-half funk, when he made only 1 of 9 shots, and scored 20 of his team-high 34 points in the fourth quarter as the Wizards evened their best-of-seven series, 2-2, with a 106-96 victory in front of a sellout crowd of 20,173 at Verizon Center.
Game 5 is Wednesday night in Cleveland, where the Wizards and Cavaliers split Games 1 and 2. The series swings back to Verizon Center for Game 6 on Friday night and, if needed, a deciding Game 7 will be in Cleveland on Sunday.
After scoring 41 points and making the winning basket in Cleveland's 97-96 Game 3 victory on Friday night, LeBron James finished with a game-high 38 points on 13-of-22 shooting but walked off the court in frustration after being whistled for two charging fouls in the fourth quarter. James also wound up with seven of his team's 23 turnovers. Those mistakes were turned into 27 Washington points.
"I've been called for more offensive fouls in this series than in all 82 games combined probably," James said. "They're trying to take my aggressiveness away, trying to make me play outside but I still have to be aggressive because that's the kind of player I am."
It was Arenas who was frustrated Friday night after missing a potential game-winning three pointer moments after James made a tough layup over Michael Ruffin. Arenas vowed to come back with a stronger performance last night. He did, but he also received plenty of help.
Forward Antawn Jamison snapped out of a three-game shooting funk to score a series-high 22 points on 8-of-18 shooting with 10 of those points coming during the first quarter, when James was trying to single-handedly blow the Wizards out of the building.
James, who made five three-pointers in the first three games, had that many in the first half last night. James made six of his first seven shots, including four three-pointers and a long two-pointer, and scored 18 of Cleveland's 27 first-quarter points.
The Cavaliers shot 55.9 percent in the first half as James set a franchise record with 25 first-half points. Cleveland's 57-46 lead stretched to 13 points early in the third period on a layup by former Wizard Larry Hughes (seven points, six fouls) but the Wizards came back behind Arenas and Butler.
Those two combined to score 17 of Washington's 26 third-period points. Butler banked in a jumper from eight feet, drawing the Wizards within six, and Arenas finished the quarter with a three-pointer and a pair of free throws as the Wizards went into the fourth tied 72-72.
Arenas and Jamison opened the final period with consecutive three-pointers and the lead stretched to a game-high 10 points when Arenas drove and made a layup while drawing a foul on Donyell Marshall at the 6-minute 14-second mark.
James made his seventh and final three-point shot to draw Cleveland within eight with 3:10 to play, but he was called for charging into Jared Jeffries on the next possession. Butler hit a turnaround jumper to push the lead back to 10 and the Wizards held on over the final two minutes for the victory.
"With this team, we have to actually beat them," said Arenas, who made 8 of 20 field goal attempts and 14 of 17 free throws. "It can't be a decision. It can't be up to the referees. We have to beat them."
The Wizards didn't need to be told how important last night's game was. Of the 160 teams that have fallen behind 3-1 in a best-of-seven series, only seven have come back to win the series.
"A lot of people were talking like we were just going to fall apart and lose this series because of what happened" Friday night, said Butler. "But that's not what this team is about. We're not going out like that."

The exhibition Mastering the Art of Chinese Painting: Xie Zhiliu (1910-1997) includes a selection of around 150 works by Xie Zhiliu (pronounced "shay jer-leo"), one of modern China's leading traditional artists and a preeminent connoisseur of painting and calligraphy. The rare trove of unfinished material on view demonstrates how studying and copying earlier models were as much a part of Chinese artistic tradition as learning from nature.
Curator Maxwell Hearn describes his ideas for the exhibition, comparing it to a recipe book for making Chinese art. Xie received a traditional Chinese artistic education, which combined the two disciplines of copying the work of earlier masters and drawing directly from life. His finished paintings, like those of many other Chinese artists, appear to be freehand creations; however, unlike many artists, Xie preserved numerous copies and sketches he made throughout his career, revealing how a seemingly spontaneous composition could be preceded by one or more sketches and drafts. In telling the story of Xie's development as an artist, and in describing the process of his work, Hearn illuminates the creation of the spontaneous fluidity that characterizes Chinese painting.

Most useless machine ever plus another coin trick
8 comments post a comment
Have you ever seen a video of something called "The Most Useless Machine Ever"? In fact this is really rather cool...
Have you ever seen a video of something called The Most Useless Machine Ever? Actually, this is really rather cool. I would love something like this on my desk with a big red switch and a sign saying Do NOT press this switch!
The idea is to have a box with a toggle switch on top (I prefer the ones that also have a light-emitting diode). When someone flips the switch, part of the box lid opens and something comes out to flip the switch off again.
On the one hand this is a trivial application of technology. On the other hand its strangely compelling.
Below please find a few (just a few) of the myriad devices and videos that are out there. First, we have a classic version hand-crafted out of mahogany. This does look tasty, and the creator does offer a kit, but the kit isnt cheap and it would require a lot of time and effort (and tools) to pull it together.
Theres also a rather tasty Japanese version, which has pretty translucent side panels and a nice little delay on the turn-off cycle.
Of course theres always someone who wants to take things to the next level, which is how we come to find Dueling Useless Machines (as if one wasnt enough).
Or how about the Ultimate Useless Machine? This one starts off like the others in that you flick the switch and the machine turns itself off again but if you keep on flipping the switch, the machine throws a wobbly as it were Click Here to see an article and watch the associated video (its well worth watching the video right to the end).
Now, if you want to make your own useless machine, theres a cheap-and-cheerful kit available from SolarBotics.com (Click Here to see this kit). On the one hand this is very reasonably priced and I must admit that I was tempted but then I saw how much they wanted to charge for postage and I thought Pull the other one it has bells on it!
But wait, theres more, because I also ran across the following One-Time-Use machine. I didnt know what to expect when I started this video but I certainly didnt expect what happened
Last but not least, I just ran across another very cool magic trick. I built the disappearing coin trick I mentioned in a Previous Blog and it worked really well on my 16-year old son, so I think I will try this new trick this evening.

A new portrait of First Lady Michelle Obama went on display at the National Portrait Gallery in Washington. D.C. last week. See who else she's chilln' with…
The individual portrait of Mrs. Obama, titled "Michelle O." was painted by New York-based Mickalene Thomas, who is also African-American and is part of the "Americans Now" exhibition at the Smithsonian. Thomas is the first artist to paint an individual portrait of the country's first African-American First Lady.
The exhibition features portraits of famous names in business, government and the arts. Other famous painted faces in the exhibition include LL Cool J, Martha Stewart and LeBron James.

Discussion in 'General Pro Player Discussion' started by breakfast_of_champions, Feb 2, 2006.
hingis 6-1, 6-2 wow
I think there is the same "Fear of Hingis" as there is "Fear of Federer" when a player encounters her. She has stepped right in, and her results have been way beyond what I predicted,
This should go into "Match Results". You should know this by now.
Can anyone follow a rule?
Boy you guys are snarky. Who cares that it's not in Match Results. It was on pg 2 and no one had bothered with it. Besides, day old tennis news is less Result than History.
We see 90398573573 times not to post match results in here. Plus, it's not a real topic anyway. Snark Snark
damn my lovely Makiri couldn't win...
I read the top of the page re: Spoiler. Now it's all clear...
I don't think it is fear. Hingis played a different style of game (take the ball early, change spin, pace, angle that don't follow conventional wisedom) that will give most players on tour trouble. I always thought she can get to top 10 easy.
I have watched Kiriliko play in person before. She likes to play against power. Very few if any can out-manuver Hingis on a tennis court without super power.
WOW, maria k could have played better
Maria's in the wrong business.
why do day old matches, that are not televised anyway, need to be in match results? (other than it tweaks the same old whiners) a good percentage of the discussion about pro players is related to match results. using the spoiler tag is good enough.
Separate names with a comma.

An evening of poetry and fiction at the Phog Lounge tonight, I'll talk with author Mike Barnes.
Anyone who's read the original Grimm Brothers fairy tales knows that they were a lot darker than the versions we see today. Hollywood, or perhaps our culture at large, has sanitzed those early tales - taking out the truly horrifying and smoothing over the more difficult questions raised in those orginal tales. But tonight, at the Phog Lounge in Windsor, author Mike Barnes will be reading from his latest novel The Reasonable Ogre...a collection of twelve original adult fairy tales that returns the form to it's orginal intent, which was to instruct and to entertain but also to trouble the reader with the larger questions of existance.
Tonight's event also features Poet Amanda Jernigan and novelist Claire Tacon.
This afternoon, Mike Barnes joins me in the studio.

The four-stage Lebanese election has produced an anti-Syrian majority in parliament for the first time since the civil war. Given the sway which until recently Damascus exercised over its smaller neighbour, that is a considerable achievement.
The catalysts for change were twofold. Last September, the UN Security Council passed a resolution, sponsored by America and France, demanding the withdrawal of Syrian troops and the disbanding and disarming of Hizbollah. And in February, the assassination in Beirut of the former prime minister Rafik al-Hariri provoked large anti-Syrian demonstrations. Damascus completed its military pull-out in April, and yesterday Saad al-Hariri, the 35-year-old son of the murdered politician, emerged victorious in elections which have taken place in different parts of the country over the past four Sundays. He and his allies won 72 of the 128 seats.
Now that anti-Syrian euphoria has faded, the balance of forces in the new parliament is a sobering reminder of Lebanon's political complexity. The main bloc brings together Saad al-Hariri, a Sunni, the Druze Walid Jumblatt and various Christian factions. The second is composed of the Shia groups Hizbollah and Amal. The third includes General Michel Aoun, a Maronite Christian who was driven out of Lebanon by Damascus in 1990 but, having returned from exile last month, linked up with pro-Syrian candidates for the election.
Preventing these forces from slipping back into the factionalism that led to civil war and the establishment of a Syrian protectorate will require continued Western attention and the wheeler-dealing for which Lebanese politics is noted.
The challenges facing the new parliamentary intake are manifold. They include the future of the pro-Syrian president, Emile Lahoud, reform of the electoral system, relations with Damascus and the West, the Palestinian refugee camps, an economy burdened with inflation and debt, and Hizbollah's armed militia.
At home, Hizbollah has won plaudits both through forcing Israel to evacuate southern Lebanon in 2000 and through its social welfare programmes. Yet in a democracy recently freed from the presence of foreign troops, an armed force outside national government control and beholden to Damascus and Teheran is a glaring anomaly. After nearly 30 years of pax Syriaca, Lebanon still has a good way to go before it can declare itself truly sovereign.

G20 summit or no G20 summit, the leaders of Britain and Germany plan to take time off from the talks for Sunday's England-Germany World Cup clash that could test their alliance as much as any financial dispute.
New British Prime Minister David Cameron and German Chancellor Angela Merkel are looking to break away from the high-intensity economic discussions to watch at least some of the high-octane soccer clash together.
"It will be a bit of a challenge but they will try to find a way to watch at least the second half of the game together," said an aide to Cameron. "They promise not to fight!"England and Germany, big powers in European soccer for decades, have met frequently, most famously in the 1966 World Cup final which England won.
But delegations from the two countries already appeared to be squaring up to each other. A German flag was pinned to the UK room in the G20 media center. On it was scrawled: "See you on Sunday" alongside a smiley face.
Asked if the delegates had exchanged any words on the upcoming match, Cameron's spokesman said: "They know what our position is."
As the World Cup approached the round of the last 16 with the U.S. underdogs still in the competition, soccer fever has also not escaped the White House.
An administration official said that in addition to the global economy, Iran and Afghanistan, President Barack Obama would also be discussing the World Cup when he meets Cameron for the first time since the latter took office last month.
"We'll also be able to discuss the victory of the United States in the group that both the United States and England were in in the World Cup," the official said, referring to England's embarrassing failure to head the group.
"I'm sure President Obama will be able to make a few points in that regard," he added.

Ear Plugged with Wax Anatomy
To better understand cerumen impaction, it helps to understand the anatomy of the ear.
Sound travels through the air as waves. The external ear collects sound waves and funnels them into the ear canal. Inside the ear canal, the eardrum vibrates when sound waves strike the drum's surface. These vibrations cause tiny bones, called ossicles, to vibrate in the middle ear. The ossicles, in turn, transmit the vibrations to the cochlea in the inner ear.
The inside of the cochlea looks like a snail shell filled with fluid. Tiny hairs, called hair cells, line the inner wall of the cochlea. Vibrations from the ossicles pass through the fluid and stimulate the hair cells. The hair cells send electrical impulses to the brain, which interprets the information as sound.
The inner ear also contains the semi-circular canals, which also contain fluid and hair cells. The hair cells in the semi-circular canals sense the position of the body and send this information to the brain. This structure allows the body to maintain balance and equilibrium.
Anatomy examples:
- Pinna: the cartilage and skin of the external ear
- Ear canal: passageway that leads to the eardrum
- Tympanic membrane: the eardrum
- Ossicles: three tiny bones that vibrate when sound waves strike the eardrum
- Inner ear, or labyrinth: includes the cochlea and semi-circular canals
- Cochlea: contains fluid and hair cells
- Semi-circular canals: contains fluid and hair cells

Home sales in California plunged 14 percent in August from the year-ago period to reach the lowest level for the month in three years, as potential buyers worried about job security and waited to see if prices would fall even further, a tracking firm said Thursday.
A total of 34,239 homes were sold last month, compared to 39,811 homes in August 2009, , San Diego-based MDA DataQuick said.
Sales were down 2.7 percent in August from 35,202 in July.
"Some will find the August sales level disheartening, though at least the declines weren't as steep as in July," DataQuick president John Walsh said. "But spectacularly low mortgage rates and today's lower prices present new opportunities for home shoppers who got discouraged in the past."
Meanwhile, the median home price in the state dipped to $260,000 in August, a 3 percent decline from $268,000 in July. The decrease marked the third straight month-to-month drop.
The median price increased 4.4 percent last month from $249,000 a year ago, its slimmest gain in a string of year-to-year increases that began in November.
Last month was the slowest August for sales since 2007, when just 33,429 homes sold, the firm said.
Still, the year-to-year decline was less sharp than July, when the end of federal tax incentives pushed sales down 21.9 percent.
"There was a lot of buyer interest during the tax incentive. Then it fell off," said Rick Hoffman, president of a Coldwell Banker office that covers San Diego County and part of Riverside County. "Now we're seeing the activity in open houses and advertising calls pick up again."
Hoffman said demand for property has at times bumped up against supply but he expects banks to soon have infrastructure in place to more rapidly process short sales and begin marketing the foreclosed-upon homes they've been keeping on their books.
California had 5.8 months worth of unsold homes in July 2010, according to the most recent figures from the California Association of Realtors.
The figure is up from the 3.8 months in December, when the tax credit program was in full swing. But it's down significantly from the 16.6 months seen in the thick of the economic downturn in January 2008 and is well below the July average of 6.5 months.
Hoffman said the strongest interest is among entry-level buyers in more affordable communities, where the fewest homes are now for sale.
"We just need inventory in that market," he said.
Leslie Appleton-Young, chief economist for the California Association of Realtors, acknowledged that demand was strong among the state's least expensive homes. But much of that activity was being generated by investors, she said.
Many other prospective home buyers are remaining on the sidelines for a sign of what direction the broader economy will take, Appleton-Young said.
"There's just so much uncertainty and people are not quite sure if we're in for a double-dip or if we're in for a recovery," she said. "When people are uncertain, they tend to wait."

Early Doucet looking for fresh start with Seahawks
Doucet was released by the Arizona Cardinals after catching just 28 passes last season, but hopes to revive his career as a versatile option for the Seahawks.
Seattle Times staff reporter
RENTON – After five seasons as an Arizona Cardinal, wide receiver Early Doucet had to get used to the idea of crossing enemy lines.
"It's kind of like one of those college rivals," Doucet said, "but now I'm a Seahawk."
The Cardinals released Doucet in March, an outcome Doucet said he had prepared for. He didn't find a new team until Friday, though, when the Seahawks agreed to terms with him. NFL.com reported Doucet will sign a one-year contract with Seattle.
Arizona drafted Doucet in the third round of the 2008 draft. He had his best year in 2011, when he had career highs with 54 catches and 689 yards. It was the only season of his career in which he played more than 12 games.
His production dipped last year when he caught 28 passes for 207 yards and no touchdowns. He's a versatile receiver who can play inside or outside.
"I'm not even worrying about the past five years," Doucet said. "I feel like I'm getting a fresh start to come in here and compete with the guys. That's all I really asked for was a chance to come in here and compete. I'm not looking for them to give me anything. I want to earn everything that I get."
Coach Pete Carroll called Doucet a "jack of all trades" and highlighted his play on special teams. But he also said the Seahawks need to see if and where Doucet fits.
Return rotation
Carroll said he would prefer not having Golden Tate return kicks, punts and play wide receiver. But with Tate pretty much a lock to return punts and Percy Harvin out at least three months, the Seahawks are still looking for other options to return kickoffs.
The candidates, according to Carroll: rookie running back Christine Michael, wide receiver Bryan Walters and cornerback Jeremy Lane, who Carroll said he would "love to see" because of his speed. The three joined cornerback Will Blackmon and Tate at the beginning of practice.
"We need to find out who the guys are who are going to back up at this time and then see who can vie to get it done," Carroll said.
Walter Thurmond has had an impressive training camp so far and is battling with Antoine Winfield for the starting nickel spot. Thurmond has also rotated outside, but Carroll said Thurmond's first priority is competing for the nickel job inside.
Injuries have limited Thurmond, a fourth-round draft pick out of Oregon in 2010, to just eight games over the last two years, although he has usually drawn positive reviews when he's been healthy.
• Carroll singled out rookie defensive tackle Jesse Williams as a guy who stood out when Carroll went back and watched the team's scrimmage from Friday.
"That's the best he's looked by far," Carroll said. "He played really physical football and held the line of scrimmage well."
Williams has had to miss time this training camp because of injuries.

I liked Zack Snyder's "Watchmen", even if it did seem too jumbled and messy and in the end, maybe a little too earnestly faithful to the source material for its own good. (But I'm sure Snyder was in a no-win situation there — make the film too faithful and you lose the non-comic book readers, divert too much and fanboys scream bloody murder.) But there were parts of the movie that were just brilliant — basically everything with Rorschach and the Comedian, though I could care less about Nite Owl's, er, lack of punch in the sack. So, what are the chances of a sequel to "Watchmen"? That's … unlikely. A comic book sequel, on the other hand, seems entirely possible, and probably likely.
Talk of a "Watchmen" comic book sequel/prequel surfaced over here. They have some basis for it, and whatever, I rarely pick up a D.C. comic book nowadays, and I doubt I'll pick up a "Watchmen" comic book sequel/prequel/whatever without Moore's name attached as writer, so it's all irrelevant to me. And unlike movies, comic books are always being extended, spun off, etc. Death isn't an issue in comic books, it's a slight annoyance that can easily be overcome with nondescript "plot".
But that's the world of "Watchmen" comics. What about the world of "Watchmen" movies? According to Deadline, someone in a position to know told them this:
"There is no truth to anything related to a movie sequel. Not a chance by a longshot. With regards to the comics, well, I guess anything is possible. I'll keep my opinion to myself as to whether it's a smart idea to do so."
Made for $130 million, Snyder's "Watchmen" went on to gross $185 million worldwide. Looks like it turned a profit, right? Not really, when you factor in all the additional costs associated with major Hollywood studio releases. The movie went on to do $48 million in DVD sales, so there is an audience for the movie out there.
I can see a sequel happening, but not anytime soon. In 10 years, maybe, or 20 …

Hey guys,
I have googled the crap out of the questions I have and have been running around in circles. I really just need advice from real people, so I have decided to make a post here at wiihacks.
I softmodded a wii a few years back, but was limited by the broken disc drive so I stopped.
I got bored this summer and ordered a new console (dirt cheap nowadays) to start fresh.
My goal is to be able to play all three smash bros games on one console, and at this time I'm only missing Melee
With this new one I used letter bomb to install bootmii and homebrew, I unstudded key studs via dop-mii.
Pretty much everything is just peachy - I can play wii backups via USBloader-gx (brawl), I can run various emulators (SSB64)!
Main problem: I cant seem to play gamecube games in any way shape or form no matter how hard I try!
- It cant read my dvd-rs, doesnt even register that the DVD has a game.
- Dios-Mios never sees my games, nor games on the dvd's
Have I just not installed certain wads or cios's?
Here are some more problems I have that may or may not relate (ill try anything at this point).
1. It cant play normal wii games via disc drive
2. Homebrew browser crashes (error dump?)
3. Wiimc wont open
I feel like I'm so close, but I'm sick of googling solutions and installing new things that don't work
Thank you so much in advance! let me know what more info I can give. Im recovering from surgery and have nothing to do. lol
Try the Devolution guide in my signature, that should help you get GC backups working.


text: Thanks for all the positive feedback, folks! Like I said in my opening post, it seems that what is considered "training" throughout the shooting community varies substantially. If this info helps a new shooter make the right holster choice, or remember to perform a FPS check, etc. etc...then I'm a happy guy. Tim

OverviewThe South-West ridge is an harder alternative to the normal route.
It is longer but more complete; it includes climbing on a long ridge (mostly II grade with a couple of pitches of III) and some mixed climbing in couloirs.
Unfortunately in the upper section the ridge is not well defined and several options are possible making the finding of the easiest crossings not always evident. The quality of the rock is average.
Getting There
Route Description
From the Frühstücksplatz follow the evident SW ridge, or if the snow is in condition climb the 40 degree snow field just on its left. At about 3,900 m take in a long twist couloir wich develops on the side of the ridge. The ridge itself can be on option to this couloir but with rock pitches of IV.
This couloir is normally in condition all year round but there is rockfall risk on very sunny days (the section is on shadow untill 10am).
At the end of the couloir (about 3,980 m) get on the left side again on the ridge, climb it for about 50 meters of height and arrive to a prominent gendarme. Climb the gendarme (or easier but more exposed solution traverse on its left) and arrive to a mixed terrain (poor rock) to traverse to get to another straight couloir that brings to a terrain of
easy rocks. From here easy scramble to the summit.
Several option for the descend back to the Finsteraarhornhutte. The easiest is of course the normal route.
The South-West ridge is not recommended for the descend because the quality of the rock and the nature of the route (couloir) reppresent the objective risk of ice and rock-falls.
A more direct, but exposed, alternative to the normal route for the descend is to take the large ice and rock couloir located on the East side of the South-West ridge. To get to the couloir descend (carefully de-escalading) on the left side of the ascend route and get to a vertical wall to abseil. From this point several abseils (or descend in the couloir if the ice is in condition) untill the base of the glacier sbout 70 meters lower than the Frühstücksplatz and from there gain the normal route back to the hut. An efficient party with about 2x60 meters of rope can get from the summit back to the hut in less than three hours following this route, albeit at a cost of leaving in place some slings or perhaps one or two pitons.

With Americans spending $65.5 billion dollars last year on lottery tickets, it's clear that the lottery is a huge boon for the economy and large part of our national culture. Every time a winning lottery ticket is sold, it makes big headlines for the winner.
But rarely reported is what happens to the people who sold the winning tickets. That's what Boston-based photographer Edie Bresler took as her subject in her ongoing project, We Sold A Winner.
Since 2009, Bresler has traveled to small convenience stores all over the Northeast, Michigan, Virginia, Maryland, and Pennsylvania and photographed the owners and patrons who continue to frequent the stores.
When stores sell winning lottery tickets, they receive a commission that is a percentage of the prize total, usually 1%. That commission varies greatly from state to state and many state lotteries place a cap on how much commission can be won. Nonetheless, a winning ticket can be just as life-changing for the person that sells it as the person who buys it.
As part of the project, Bresler has been collecting stories from patrons and customers about how the lottery affects them or why they play. What she's discovered is a picture of middle class America still struggling mightily against an economy that doesn't allow them to get ahead.
"This economy has been doing so poorly for so many people and we talk about it in so many abstract ways…To many of the [lottery players] I've talked to, they've been working hard, they've been saving, and they still feel like they have nothing or very little to show for it. They just want a good life for them and their family, so they play the lottery," said Bresler. "They feel like that's their only way to get there."
To see more of Bresler's work, check out her website.
This store in Somerville, MA sold a winning $1,000,000 scratch ticket in 2009 and received a $10,000 bonus commission. Edie Bresler
Amar, owner and proprietor of Neighborhood Market in Somerville, MA, sold a winning $1,000,000 scratch ticket. He used the $10,000 bonus commission to make a down payment on a house nearby, where he still lives with his wife and 2 daughters.Edie Bresler
On August 25, 2013, an unclaimed Powerball ticket worth $1,000,000, sold at this store in Rye, NY, expired. Depending on the game, players have between 182 days to one year to claim a winning prize. The owner of this store posted hand-written signs urging his customers to check their tickets before the deadline.Edie Bresler
Azores Tobacco in Fall River, MA sold a winning $1,000,000 scratch ticket in 2011.Edie Bresler
In March 2012, the jackpot for MegaMillions reached a record $640 million. One of three winning tickets was sold in this Motomart located in the small town of Red Bud (pop. 3683), Illinois. FKG Oil, a corporation that owns 73 other stores received the maximum bonus commission, which in Illinois is $500,000. In an unusual gesture, they gifted $50,000 (1%) to be shared by the 7 workers in the store.Edie Bresler
Denise, the manager at Motomart, received $25,000 of the bonus from FKG Oil. With her windfall, she purchased a bassoon for her husband, a retired member of the Air Force Band, who had always wanted to learn the instrument but could not afford it. "We tried to get a bank loan several years ago but were turned down," Denise told Bresler.Edie Bresler
In 2009, Fast Freddies in Wakefield, MA was the site of the first winning $10,000,000 scratch ticket in the country. The owner received a $50,000 bonus commission, which is the maximum pay-out in Massachusetts. Edie Bresler
Located in Custer, Michigan (pop. 284), Bonser's Market sold a $13.3 million winning classic lotto ticket in August 2013. The owner received a $5000 commission, which is the maximum bonus paid out in Michigan.Edie Bresler
Brother-in-laws Rakesh and Ashok run Levittown News & Tobacco in Fairless Hills, PA — a suburb located outside Philadelphia. They received a $100,000 bonus commission after selling a winning $50,000,000 Powerball ticket in 2012.Edie Bresler
A winning $1,000,000 Powerball ticket was sold at Patron Convenience Store in Washington D.C. to Catherine Jackson, a retired federal worker. Edie Bresler
Harry Patel is the owner of Jays in Lowell, MA. Neighborhood players consider his store very lucky because two winning $1,000,000 tickets were purchased there in the past ten years.Edie Bresler

leveeriderwrote a review of Endura Burner Shorts on July 30, 2009
Great shorts, worth the price!
Bought the Endura Burner shorts for mountain biking on flat, hard pack trails where the riding is rough and bumpy and they worked out great! Construction quality is excellent, they have good padding in the seat area and fit comfortably. Glad I bought these rather than change my seat. Essentially these are baggy mountain bike shorts with built-in padded undershorts underneath. The outer shorts are water repellant and the form-fitting (spandex or lycra?) inner liner/shorts are moisture wicking. Having 3 zippered pockets is great too, very functional along with great style. Love these UK-made shorts, worth every penny.
