Build Log
Hostetler Stinson Voyager 108-2
So lets get this started off with alittle background information. About 1 1/2 yrs ago I was in the market for an aircraft! I had learned to fly on a trainer. I was instantly in love with the hobby. I mastered the trainer and stepped up to a great planes Cherokee ARF! I assembled and set it up by myself and needed one click of aile trim to fly it level hands off! This just cemented my love for this hobby! I then purchased a used Yak 54 w a troublesome TT .75! It was ok I could fly inverted and do loops and rolls but it didnt appeal to me so I new I wanted to stay with scale looking and flying aircraft esp GA! Wanting to try out a scale style taildragger I bought a Super Decathalon ARF! O yea I have a soft spot for high wing ga aircraft! Why....I have no idea!! The decathalon taught me the all important lesson that that style plane will lift off long before there is enough speed to fly! I taxied out and nailed it full throttle and lifted off and she was all over the place and cartwheeled into the parking lot between two cars and came to rest on a telephone pole used to mark the parking lot boundries. One wingtip was destroyed and the fuse 3/4's the way from the cowl was "damaged"! This was its maiden flight and I wasnt upset I was excited because I was able to build it back up and fly it again!!! Knowing I had an itch to build I calmed myself down and decided I would go through the ranks assembling and flying all sizes of ARF's then graduate to building. As I didn't want to jump into building w/o the flying skills. Taking yrs to build a plane and then crashing it on the maiden because your not an experienced pilot just scares me..... seems like a real waste and/or stupidity! I was now at the point that I wanted a giant scale ARF. I searched and searched and found H9's 150 size Cessna 182 I fell in love instantly. Bought it, assembled it and have since put over 30+ flights on her since 5/10. The biggest draw back is it gets so much attention at fun-fly's that everyone is always asking me if I built it and I have to say NO ( but then I point out my added details and mods Hee Hee). Having to say no just irks me.
This brings me to the point I'm at now! While I was searching for a giant scale ARF I kept coming across an plane called a Stinson (as I would search for full scale plane then try to find a matching model). The 108 to be exact and I knew I had to build it......someday. That someday has arrived

Hey Broz,
I have a set of the Hostetler Stinson 108-2/-3 plans as well as the fiberglass cowl and pants, and main landing gear set. I won't get to building the plane for a while, but your post prompted me to pull them out and look over your concerns.
The note, "flaps not used on prototype" at the wing flap outline on plan sheet 2 of 2 refers to Wendell's prototype 26.6% replication (model) of the 108, NOT the full-size aircraft which had trailing edge flaps.
As far as the 1/16"-1/8" differences between the left and right side of the fuselage, are you measuring from the top view of the fuselage on plan sheet 1 of 2? I measured each former location (left to right side of fuselage centerline) with drafting dividers and only found a 1/32" difference between the left and right side of former F-7 (right side being 1/32" longer).
Good luck with your build and thanks for getting a build log going. Who cut your kit?
OK guys tell me if i'm just being to picky but my measurments are
S2 rib of the stabilizer
Template 5 13/16
Plan 5 15/16
Elevator TE
Like I said I've never built before so any and all replies welcome. I'm young and want to keep building alive. As arf's are changing/have changed the game! I want to learn from the pros!!!!
o yea should I even bother using side views for measurments or just measure from the plan to cut parts? Or use largest measurment of the 2 and sand to fit?
Thanks Guys
I was chomping at the bit to get the plans and the wood kit. Obviously plans are from Hostetler and wood kit from Precision Cut Kits! Plans arrived first and I was super stoked at the size of this beauty. I had made measurments to get an idea of the size but to see the plan was WOW awsome. Then the wood kit arrived. Small box and VERY light. I was taken aback! Thought it would be heavier.
This is my goofy A$$ reaction when I found the plans my wife decided not to tell me had arrived. Picture taken by my 2yo daughter. (see loves daddys planes)

Personally, I wouldn't worry about the discrepencies.
I checked MOST of my PCK parts against the Hostetler 195 templates. They matched perfectly.
Build your stab so that it is equal on both sides. I'd pick the larger dimension. Then build your elevators to match.
After awhile, you'll get a feel for what's going on. In the meantime, keep asking questions. We'll help, if we can.
EJ and the Captain are two excellent builders. Both come up with innovative ideas to solve problems. You are fortunate to have them follow your progress.
Everything is cut to size and has been fitted for the horiz/elev. Pics are from original testfit before all parts were cut. Shaping the taper on the elev hinge line now. I will be including non functional trim. I just havnt decided how far I want to go with detail. Well I guess I want it to look like the real thing so that answers my question. I keep forgetting I've photographed and measured a disassembled -3. I'm gonna look for the elev pics???????
The doublers on the stab trailing edge have been glued together and the elev leading edge/taper to wing tip is in the works as of now!

Sony Tablet S Gets DualShock 3 Update in Japan
One of the reasons I personally don't enjoy tablet gaming is due to the sole reliance on touchscreen controls. Don't get me wrong, touchscreens are awesome, but I find it hard to play certain games using virtual buttons. It looks as though Sony is attempting to remedy this issue, though.
A recent update allows for DualShock 3 functionality to the Sony Tablet S, translates Engadget. The update is currently only available in Japan, but I expect we'll see it make its way to North America and Europe. I mean, it has to, right?
You'll initially be prompted to use a USB cable to pair your DualShock 3 controller to your Table S, but after that, it's smooth sailing. Using a wireless PlayStation 3 controller to game on a tablet device? I can dig it!
Those who download the current Japan-only update will also be treated to a free Ape Escape mini-game collection download. There is some bad news, though. It seems there's no update to game using a traditional controller on the Sony Tablet P. Well, that kind of blows. But hey, at least it works with the Tablet S! That's something, am I right?

The Case Against Rent Stabilization
The Supreme Court is "taking a surprisingly serious look" at New York's rent regulation laws, according to a story in the Journal outlining the legal precedents that a Manhattan couple are using to challenge the regulations and how the city and New York AG are defending stabilization. The back story: "James and Jeanne Harmon, the owners of an Upper West Side brownstone, are waging an underdog constitutional battle against rent rules forcing them to subsidize their tenants — including Nancy Wing Lombardi, an executive who pays about $1,000 a month for a one-bedroom unit and also owns a house in the Hamptons." The Harmons say rent stabilization violates the "Fifth Amendment, which says the government can't take private property for public use without just compensation." The city and state argue that stabilization doesn't actually constitute taking based on an earlier ruling that found that if you've already allowed tenants, "taking" isn't involved. The Harmons are also making a due process claim: "arguing that the high court established 90 years ago that rent controls can't be permanent but only a temporary response to a 'catastrophic' emergency. That, they say, was the upshot of a 1922 ruling, the last time the high court looked at the constitutionality of New York City's rent controls." And, finally, the couple is arguing that rent regulations are a "racket in which property owners and market rate tenants always lose," but the state is countering that this sort of argument about policy aren't relevant to the legality of the regulations.

Oh that's nice. I wonder what were you trying to do new here. :3
Btw when you edit an image, then reupload it with changes and it goes through. It'll take a long while to actually change it for some reason. but it'll actually go through I think. May have to wait for hours though.

Questions of civil liberties arise as Florida law enforcers prepare to question men with Middle Eastern backgrounds.
By LEANORA MINAI
© St. Petersburg Times, published November 28, 2001
If you're young, male and arrived from the Middle East in the past two years, you can expect a police officer on your doorstep any day now.
Like their counterparts across the country, law enforcement authorities in the Tampa Bay area will soon begin questioning local visitors with Arabic-sounding names and Middle Eastern backgrounds. They will be asked about everything from their reaction to the Sept. 11 attacks to their knowledge and use of weapons.
Civil libertarians call it a dangerous inquisition, a step toward the internment Japanese-Americans faced during World War II. But to Steve Cole, spokesman of the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Middle District of Florida, it's a "neighborhood survey."
"These are folks who could possibly have information that could be helpful to law enforcement," said Cole, spokesman for federal prosecutors from Naples to Jacksonville. "It's not a lengthy interview. Some of these may be done on the front porch."
But Dr. Husain Nagamia, chief of cardiac surgery at Tampa General Hospital and chairman of the Tampa Muslim Alliance, likened the Justice Department effort to a nationwide witch hunt.
"Just because I'm a Muslim, I don't want somebody walking in here and asking me questions, which could happen," said Nagamia, who was born in India but is an American citizen.
The interviews, which will be conducted by FBI and FDLE agents and local police and sheriff's deputies, were prompted by an eight-page memorandum from the U.S. Justice Department.
The memo, dated Nov. 9 and delivered to U.S. attorneys nationwide, discusses how to conduct the interviews of 5,000 men between the ages of 18 and 33, mostly from Middle Eastern nations who have arrived in the United States on temporary visas in the past two years. The Justice Department has declined to name the nations whose citizens are being scrutinized, but have generally said the interviewees will be from nations connected to terrorism.
The list of those publicized by the U.S. State Department includes Iran, Iraq, Syria, Libya and Sudan, though visitors from other nations may also find their names on the list.
The names on the latest list are separate from the 1,000 or more people who have been detained by immigration authorities and law enforcement since Sept. 11. Many of those people remain in jail, either being held as material witnesses in the investigation of the attacks, or on immigration or other charges.
Cole, the spokesman for the U.S. Attorneys Office in Florida's middle district, which includes 8-million people, said the interviews with "several hundred" residents will begin in a few days and last several weeks. He would not release the names of people who will be questioned and declined to discuss the interview guidelines.
However, according to the Justice Department memo obtained by the Detroit Free Press, law enforcement authorities have been instructed to check passports and visas, and ask about visits to national landmarks; about sources of income; scientific expertise and to obtain a list of telephone numbers of friends and relatives.
Gov. Jeb Bush said Tuesday that he is pleased that the names of "500 plus" people to be interviewed were not assembled haphazardly but "identified through the process of good legal work."
"People are being invited to do this, they are not going to be put in custody, they are not suspects, so they will be invited to provide information," Bush said.
Some police departments in the country have declined to participate, saying the plan seems like racial profiling. In Portland, Ore., for example, police cited state law prohibiting the questioning of immigrants not suspected of a crime.
Elsewhere, U.S. attorney's offices are fashioning different approaches because they don't want to ruin trust with Islamic and Middle Eastern communities. Instead of knocking on doors, the U.S. Attorney's office in Detroit will mail letters to 700 Middle Eastern people asking them to call voluntarily and schedule an interview.
Locally, the Tampa and St. Petersburg police departments, as well as the Pinellas and Hillsborough sheriff's offices, among others, will participate.
Representatives from those agencies refused to discuss their role and referred questions to the U.S. Attorney's Office, which says the goal of the interview is to get information on terrorists and terrorist organizations.
"We feel the best procedure is to make personal contact," Cole said.
Information from the interviews will be sent to the Department of Justice in Washington, Cole said.
"We really appreciate the efforts of the FDLE and local law enforcement who are partnering with us to accomplish this," Cole said.
Some defense attorneys are not opposed to the interviews but said law enforcement should be careful not to abuse the process.
"If the person indicates they don't know anything, do the authorities say, "Thank you anyway' and go on their way?" asked Clearwater attorney Denis de Vlaming. "Or, does the government say, "You will cooperate. We will take you in.' We'll have to take a wait and see attitude to find out how they do it."
During an interview, if police catch people doing other crimes, they can be arrested for them.
Said de Vlaming, "I'm not as concerned about that as I am about the spoken and unspoken intimidation of "You will cooperate or we will see that you or your family may be inconvenienced at the very least or deported at the very worst.' "

For the last four or five days I've been hanging around Arthurs Pass, one of the three mountain passes that crosses over the South Island mountains here in New Zealand. The first two days were spent mostly lounging about the hostel as it dumped snow and the wind raged outside. I did get out for a fantastic little hike during the storm, when there was snow covering the forest – quite a strange sight to see.
With a clearing forecast, three days ago I left for a big hike. I hiked up the Waimakariri River valley, a wide, flat braided river valley, and after fording the river twice, I slept the first night at the Carrington Hut. Day 2 I hiked further up into the mountains and stayed at the Barker Hut, a high-level hut set on a rocky outcropping in the center of a large snowy cirque. Day 3 I woke up pre-dawn, hiked up a nearby peak with crampons and ice axe, watched a nice sunrise from up top, then hiked all the way back out to the car.
The mountains around Arthurs Pass are a bit smaller than the enormous beasts around Mount Cook region. These mountains are similar in scale to the San Juan Mountains in Colorado, though of course they are much different in character. It looks like there would be some great skiing/snowboarding to be had around here in the winter. In fact, around the Barker Hut there were loads of great 3,000-foot lines, with nice smooth spring snow topped with about four inches of spring powder. I wish I had had my snowboard up there! (Can't imagine carrying it all the way up there though).
I'm heading back down the east side of the range today… not sure exactly where though. I have about two days to kill, then there's a nice three day forecast of clear weather. I'll probably set off on a tramp in the Wanaka area during that time.

All quotes by Carter Bays
(7 quotes found)
"It's a show about the craziest nights you remember from your youth, the crazy nights you had in your 20s."
"But they've been fearless about it. There hasn't been a moment of doubt or a suggestion to make it more traditional. We have no 'indignant writer' stories to tell."
"We sort of look at our years at 'Letterman' as comedy grad school. I don't mind seeing jokes and hearing the laugh track because that was our bread and butter for a long time, just making an audience laugh ... There's no better feeling than having a crowd there and hearing a laugh."
"I went through periods where you're just sort of writing things that are supposed to be funny and things that look like a sitcom. Now we're writing about real life and things that we care about. That's one of the things that a lot of these new shows have in common, like Everybody Hates Chris -- he's writing about his life."
"Also I think a lot of the pressure came from ourselves. We really cared about this a lot. When we were first starting to develop it, we came up with a few ideas and actually wrote a script for another pilot. And we liked that one too, but it wasn't personal like this one was. This one felt like something we'd write whether we had a deal to write it or not. From where I'm coming from, it was at a point in my life where I was single and thinking, 'When am I going to settle down and get married?' It was very therapeutic writing in a weird way. The real pressure was for us not to screw it up ourselves."

Rochdale vs Sheffield Utd by Snake
Pick based on Asian handicap. Not familiar with handicaps? Read our Asian handicap betting guide
I simply can't belive that they won't relegate at the end. The last 6 matches for the team at home ended with 2 wins , 2 draws and 2 losses.
The last home match for the team , against Walsall ended 3:3 and that match was the key for survive for Rochdale. If they had win it there was going to be a good chance of survivng , but with that draw i think the players will be facing a lack of confidence for tonight match.
It's a must win for the team , but i don't think that they will take someting from the strong Sheffield. Team is with the worst attacking line , scoring only 39 goals this season from 41 matches.
defender Kevin Long is doubtful having been replaced in the first-half of Saturday's 3-1 defeat at Yeovil Town.
Sheffield on the other hand are in heavy battle for promotion in the Championship for the next season. The team fights alongside their city rivals Sheffield Wednesday for a direct place in the upper league. With the victory that Wednesday achieved yesterday , they now lead 1 point to United .
Last 6 away matches for United ended with 3 wins 2 losses and 1 draw. However the team is on streak with 4 straight wins and i belive tonight they will get another one.
The team is with the best attacking line in the league - scoring 80 goals , and they have the top goalscorer of the league - Chad Evans with 32 goals so far. He will lead the attack tonight once again.
Richard Cresswell is expected to partner 32-goal marksman Ched Evans, despite suffering with a broken nose and fractured wrist. James Beattie and Will Hoskins should be back on the team after they've missed the win against Bournemouth in the weekend.
Important match for both teams, mostly for Rochdale, but i don't see how they can take anyting. I think Sheffield are way better team , and go for a mid stake on AH .

AKIPRESS.COM - India has improved its ranking as per the recent data released by 'UN Comtrade' in Global Textiles as well as Apparel Exports. In Global Textiles Exports, India now stands at second position beating its competitors like Italy, Germany and Bangladesh, with China still retaining its top position, Indian media report.
India's share in Global Textiles has increased by 17.5% in the year 2013 compared to the previous year. Currently India's textiles exports to the world is US$ 40.2 billion. This growth is phenomenal as the global textiles growth rate is only 4.7% compared to India as it has registered the growth of 23% beating China and Bangladesh which has registered 11.4% and 15.4%, respectively.
Total global textiles exports is to the tune of US$ 772 billion with India commanding 5.2% of the share. This growth in the increase in share of the Textiles Exports from India is largely attributed to the growth in the Apparel and Clothing sector as it accounts for the almost 43% of the share alone. The Apparel Exports ranking has also improved from 8th position in 2012 to 6th position in 2013. India's apparel exports, was to the tune of US$ 15.7 billion in 2013, as against US$ 12.9 billion in 2012. Among the top five global clothing suppliers except for the Vietnam; India's Apparel Exports growth was highest registering 21.8% growth during the year 2013. Apparel exports from India accounts for 3.7% of share in the global readymade garment exports.
Increasing labour cost in China, non-compliance of large number of factories in Bangladesh provide India a big opportunity in view of its relative advantage, risk appetite of Indian entrepreneurs and a small push from the Government may help India to get more business as overseas buyers are looking at India as safe and reliable option for the sourcing. But to capture the space in market left by China and Bangladesh, we have to be competitive in pricing, apart from meeting strict timelines, better quality delivery by Indian exporters and therefore, Government agencies active support is very crucial. AEPC is pushing in this direction to seek export friendly enabling environment from the Government, Mr. Uppal added.

Changes in American and British Stature Since the Mid-Eighteenth Century: A Prelimanary Report on the Usefulness of Data on Height..
This paper is a progress report on the usefulness of data on physical height for the analysis of long-ten changes in the level of nutrition and health on economic, social, and demographic behavior. It is based on a set of samples covering the U.S. and several other nations over the years from 1750 to the present. The preliminary results indicate that native-born. American Revolution, but there were long periods of declining nutrition and height during the 19th century. Similar cycling has been established for England. A variety of factors, including crop mix, urbanization, occupation, intensity of labor, and immigration affected the level of height and nutrition, although the relative importance of these factors has changed over time. There is evidence that nutrition affected labor productivity. In one of the samples individuals who were one standard deviation above the mean height (holding weight per inch of height constant) were about 8% more productive than individuals one standard deviation below the mean height. Another finding is that death did not choose people at random. Analysis of data for Trinidad indicates that the annual death rate for the shortest quintile of males was more than twice as great as for the tallest quintile of males.

So, I am with Danskebank, I stupidly entered my pin on my Mastercard debit incorrectly too many times and it locked the card. Fine, my fault. I rang the bank and they said they had to send me a new card, also not a problem. But when I mentioned going in to the branch to withdraw cash for the week that it will take the card to arrive (at least, the first card took 2 weeks to arrive), the lady said that you can't withdraw cash from any Danskebank branches!
When I said I have no way of accessing money until the card arrives, she asked if I had a friend I could borrow money from. So, is this a standard policy of banks in Sweden? If not, who does allow cash withdrawals? I will switch to them.

Swedish banks are moving more and more towards being cashless. What some do is have co-operation with other banks that do have cash in offices, maybe Danske Bank have a partnership where you can withdraw cash from your account? Ask them again about that. I know Forex-bank is a partner with some banks where the offices don't handle cash.

I lost my Visa on holiday. I cancelled it, 2 minutes later I found it again between the pages of a book in my pocket. I phoned back and the stupid idiot on the phone refused to uncancel my card. What a daft service!
So I went to the next town - Halmstad - as there was no Nordea branch in Laholm.
In Halmstad I asked for my money. I needed to pay for the hotel and a train ticket home.
Me: Hi
Clerk: Hi
Me: Check my account
Clerk You have 156000 SEK
Me: Good, I need 7000 SEK
Clerk: We have no cash
Me: This is a bank?
Clerk: Yes
Me: You have my money?
Clerk: Yes
Me: Give me some
Clerk: No
Me: I want my money
Clerk: You can't have it
Me: But I want it, you have my money, this is a bank
Clerk: You can't have it
Me: OK, give me 7000 and take 3000 for yourself, I have to pay my hotel today and buy my train ticket home
Clerk: Sorry, can't help you
Me: Is this on film?
Clerk: Sorry?
Me: Candid Camera?
Clerk: No, this is a modern Swedish bank
Me: Bank? No, this is a Monty Python Set, Come out John Cleese
Clerk: Sorry, we have no cash
This is how we left it.
I had to sell my watch to a pawnbrokers for 11 000 SEK to pay my hotel. I never got back to unpawn it and lost 20 000 SEK on the deal. I have now closed my bank account and advise everyone in Sweden to move their account to Handelsbanken. Their staff are professional and they will never ever stop cash.
I have no understanding for banks that refuse to handle cash in emergencies. When they do this I have the same contempt for the fact you can't uncancel a cancelled card.

Bank offices now no longer give you cash and tell you to pay your bills on the internet.
And the idiots in the bank offices are proud of this. Don't they realise that they will soon be out of a job?

Well they could always work for Radiotjanst, since paying bills will most likely be an interpretation to incur a TV license fee.

Swedbank is scaling down too, in rural places only opening 2 or 3 days a week, limiting cash etc.. So Handelsbanken is mopping up their customers.

Cash handling is something that banks lose money on. So don't expect to be able to use Handelsbanken for cash if you are a customer of Nordea or Swedbank. They will want you to be a customer with them. Of course, in emergency situations, there are solutions to this...even if the bank doesn't have any cash. Nordea should have been able to help in the circumstances described.

We have just done the same with the kids savings accounts, so at least they can pay their money in, in person, plus handels.. has always given us a better service. I think a lot of older people who don't like getting cash out of machines on the street and remembering pin numbers are moving too.

Good choice ...Handelsbanken is the only bank that has actually stated that it's intention is to keep the branches with cash, and actually increase the number, whilst all other banks are saying they are cutting down. Though, if I think for cash amounts greater than 10.000:- you have to pre-book, as they try to not have too much cash in the offices!

There are other reasons for going for Handelsbanken as well. It has never needed any form of state guarantees. They pay very few bonuses (although they do have a profit sharing scheme for all employees).

The vertical is presumably more efficient but more expensive to install but I'm wondering how much more expensive it is. If the horizontal pipes are going to require a digger and driver at ~€30 an hour for a week and the grant for the vertical is 2k more than for the horizontal then would it be worth my while going for the vertical

Then when they present themselves I bring them back to mind so that I can remember how and why to treat them as people I don't like. I am flexible enough that over time I can package behaviors specifically for individuals, groups and contexts. I disagree with your belief on forgiveness with respect to how it works for me.

Singing protest as Pyne speaks0:51
A group of people started a singing protest during Education Minister Christopher Pyne's speech at Adelaide University's Bonython Hall.
A SMALL band of student protesters have broken into song in an attempt to drown out federal Education Minister Christopher Pyne at the opening of the Adelaide Language Festival at the University of Adelaide.
The students began to belt out protest songs including Solidarity Forever shortly after Mr Pyne took the stage to give the opening address in a packed Bonython Hall this morning.
They were protesting the Federal Government's decision to deregulate university fees and cut course funding by 20 per cent.
The students barely paused for breath through Mr Pyne's 20 minute speech, singing Solidarity Forever, The International, Bread and Roses, a version of Certainly Lord and Ain't Done Nothing If You Ain't Been Called a Red.
Mr Pyne ploughed on over the top of the singing but paused every now and then to have a dig at the protesters.
"If they seriously think that by singing Solidarity Forever over and over again they are somehow going to change the mind of the Commonwealth Government, or win the hearts and minds of people in this hall, then they are even more deluded than I thought. And I am going to keep going," he said.
Later he paused his speech to add: "I don't think this group would be winning any prizes on The Voice competition.
"I don't think any of the four (judges) would be choosing them."
Six police officers kept an eye on the protesters from the hall's entrances.
One of the protesters, University of Adelaide nursing student Gabriel Evanelista, 23, said the group of no more than 10 were a mix of students from all three major SA universities and TAFE.
"We thought we would use this opportunity to do something creative and disrupt business as usual," he said.
"Some (of the audience) enjoyed it and some thought it was terrible.
"I've seen a lot of cuts to my own course and it's not good.
"If you don't have the support you are not going to get good grades."
The inaugural Adelaide Language Festival runs across today and tomorrow.
Professor Roly Sussex from the University of Queensland was giving the keynote address this morning on the topic Why Learning Languages Gives You a Healthier Mind in a Healthier Body, and Makes You Popular, Attractive and Successful.
Language experts have come from across the globe to speak at the festival.
In his address, Mr Pyne talked about the government's goal that 40 per cent of students should be studying a foreign or classical language within a decade.
He said the government was trialling online language teaching in preschools.

Land Rover Grille Guard
The Land Rover grille guard not only looks great, it also protects some of the most breakage-prone parts on your vehicle. Land Rover grille guards are constructed of tubular steel with high-strength crossbars that support the entire structure. Land Rover grille guards mount on the front end of your vehicle and cover more than just your grille. Your headlights and turn signal lights are also protected, along with parts like your radiator and cooling fan that are situated just behind your grille. Land Rover grille guards are available in a wide variety of sizes, styles, and designs. The most popular finishes for Land Rover grille guards are powdered black and chrome, though you can purchase a Land Rover grille guard that is custom painted to match your vehicle. If you own a Land Rover, it makes sense to invest in a Land Rover grille guard whether you use your vehicle for on- or off-road purposes. The Land Rover grille guard keeps brush, limbs, and other road debris away from your front fascia when you are plowing through the wilderness. In the concrete jungle, the Land Rover grille guard keeps "the other guy" away from your front end, preventing damage that often occurs during minor parking collisions. When you order a Land Rover grille guard from our extensive online catalogue, you will receive the mounting hardware that is specific to your vehicle's make and model. This makes installation easy, since the Land Rover grille guard simply bolts onto the existing holes in your vehicle. Take advantage of our convenient ordering options by using our secure online server to place your order, or calling our toll-free customer service number to speak with our knowledgeable staff.

"Ambitious Ambitions" on view January 19 to March 4, 2011
BETHPAGE, NY – (January 24, 2011) – "Ambitious Ambitions," an exhibition of graphic design and fine art will be on display at the Bethpage campus Art Gallery from January 19 through March 4, 2011. "Ambitious Ambitions" features the work of 12 recently-graduated Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) students ready to enter the workforce and includes a range of mediums including graphic design print campaigns, animation, promotional campaigns, concept art, and fashion design concepts. The new show will culminate in a reception on Thursday, March 3, 2011. The exhibit and reception are open to the general public free-of-charge and parking is available.
Located at 1055 Stewart Avenue in Bethpage, NY, the Biarcliffe College Art Gallery opened a year ago as an opportunity for faculty, professional artists and students to learn from one another and engage the public. The revolving exhibits have showcased painting, sculpture, graphic arts and multimedia projects.
"The exhibits provide a learning opportunity for our students with hands-on workshops, guest speakers and visiting artists, " stated Briarcliffe College President Dr. George Santiago, Jr. "In this new exhibition we are giving our graduates the opportunity to share what they've learned with one another and the public."
According to Karyn Cernera Bush, chair of the Graphic Design Department at Briarcliffe College, a Senior Project is required of all graduating BFA students. "Students apply the skills and theories explored during studies toward their degree and this exhibit is an opportunity to see the original work they have produced as a result."
Bush continued, "It is so rewarding to see the students artwork exhibited in a professional gallery setting. The students work extremely hard over the course of the semester to create a passionate, thought-provoking, fully encompassing senior project that is unique to their personal and professional interests and they deserve this moment!"

CEDAR CITY — With his team down 12 points early in the second quarter of Thursday's Class 3A quarterfinal, Payson coach Dan Lunt challenged his players to change stereotypes.
"Are they right?" recalls Lunt. "Are we one and done? Or are we gonna gut it out and play how we play?"
His players chose the latter.
Payson gutted out a 55-48 victory over Pine View at Southern Utah University by closing the game on an 11-1 run.
"Basketball is a game of runs. The team that made the most runs came out on top," said Payson senior Daniel Reno. "We could have given up down 12 in the first half, but we kept pushing and pushing. We work super hard in practice and that turns over into the game, and we got it done."
With the victory, Payson advances to the Class 3A semifinals to face Morgan Friday at 7:30 p.m.
The win also snaps a long, frustrating 10-game playoff losing streak for Northern Utah teams against Region 9 teams at either SUU or Dixie.
Neither team played particularly well in a game that was plagued by turnovers and missed free throws, but Payson made just enough plays to survive.
"We just kind of persevered, hung around, hung around and when we got some opportunities we took advantage of them," said Lunt.
There was some extra motivation as well. At halftime Dallin Rowley came into the locker room and said he heard people in the stands talking about how Payson was choking in the playoffs again. Reno, who led Payson with 17 points, said that immediately changed the mood in the locker room.
"Faces changed. Attitude changed," he said.
Even though shots never really started to fall for the Lions in the second half, they upped the defensive intensity forcing Pine View into numerous turnovers — 20 for the game.
"Our perimeter people have put unbelievable pressure on the ball all year and we didn't do that the first half. We didn't put on any pressure," said Lunt.2 comments on this story
Payson briefly took a 31-29 lead on a Reno layup with 3:05 remaining in the third quarter. Pine View responded quickly behind the hot hand of Jack Bangerter who buried two 3-pointers and added another bucket as Pine View ended the quarter on a 10-4 run to build a 39-35 lead.
The final turning point came late in the fourth quarter though. After Pine View missed a pair of free throws that would have increased its lead to four, Mark Wolf buried a jumper with 1:36 remaining to tie the game at 47-47.
Payson quickly stole the ball and Bryen Wood raced in for the layup for the 49-47 lead with 1:15 left.
The Lions did the rest of their damage from free-throw line by making 6 of 8 in the final minute.
Behind Reno, Rowley and Wolf added 13 each for the Lions.

Do You Or Have You Ever Lied To Get An Upgrade? [POLL]
Have you ever pretended to be on your honeymoon to try to get upgraded on a vacation? That's a bit extreme. I've only lied to get a free birthday cake at Olive Garden. If you have you're not alone.
A new survey found 23% of people admit they've lied about just getting engaged or married to try to get an upgrade.

Cost accounting in Finland: current practice and trends of development
Recent changes in marketing strategies, competition and production environments, and consequent changes in cost structures, have been argued as imposing pressure for change on current cost accounting. Characteristic of the present situation is the serious lack of information concerning the current state of cost accounting practice. The purpose of this study is to describe and analyse the present state, and trends in the development, of cost accounting practices in large and middle-sized Finnish manufacturing units, using a questionnaire survey method. The usable response rate was 44 per cent (135 units). According to the respondents, significant changes have emerged in several areas of their operating environments and strategies during the last few years. Even though these changes have affected a number of cost accounting issues, their most significant effect has been the decrease in the proportion of direct labour costs in unit cost structures. The most important problem areas of cost accounting relate to the allocation of various overhead costs to products. The application of the so-called new cost accounting methods seems to be very infrequent: none of the responding units reported their true application. However, there were indications of current implementation of activity-based costing systems, as well as wide interest in developing them.

Recently I sat in my therapist's office all ready to bark at the moon and lay blame for all my issues on my mother, the kid that aimed at me in dodge ball and possibly Nixon. But the session turned into a warm and fuzzy remembrance of the man who turned my life around.
In high school we had a Dean of Discipline, OK he was the assistant principal, named Phil Ross. Mr. Ross waited at the doors to the school every morning the way a fisherman waited for his first catch of the day. On this breezy fall morning it was I who would find myself entangled in his net. Around the second period, I was bolting down the stairs tragically late for my class, my long hair caked all over my brow and one Mr. Ross waiting for me at the bottom of the stairs.
Called into his office, I sat quietly across from him and a dialogue ensued between two people who never took the time to know each other. Two periods later, feet up on his desk, lessons about life and laughter abound, Phil Ross released me back into the wild. "And don't let me catch you doing that again Sullivan!" He bellowed for effect. "Yes Sir Mr. Ross." I added to keep the masquerade going. He winked at me and my life had changed.
From that day forward I was never consciously late again. I was quicker to stop and take in what was going on around me academically. I was faster on the draw to get to know someone I didn't understand. More importantly I had become a friend of Phil Ross. A man who understood children and teens better than Cosby himself.
Phil believed in me. I remember when I produced my first Off, WAY Off-Broadway show with a production company of my own creation. It was in a room that made a Starbucks restroom look palatial and 8 people turned up. Phil Ross was one of them. After the show was over Phil came over to me and placed my forehead to his and said something to me that again, altered my life. With tears in his eyes he said, "I am so proud of you. You did this." I countered with a "but there only 8 people here." He took my hands and said, "Never doubt what you can accomplish. Have faith in yourself and others will believe in you."
Phil and his wife Louise, never had children of their own. His students, his basketball team, we all became his, their, children. I think of him often but the years moved quickly. As I prepared to leave my therapist she said, "So, Phil was Ty's Yoda. You know what you must do now?"
"Find him. Tell him how much he meant to me and introduce him to my daughter." I said.
"And let him know that you still believe."
We learn to be leaders, motivators, believers from the most unlikely places. Who is or was your "Yoda"? Share their name here for all to know them. Speak well of them and often and their lessons will live on.

Here's a story that supports the old saying, "When you criminalize guns, only criminals will have guns."
Two people leaving the North Carolina State Fair on Saturday were robbed at gunpoint, after a legal battle had enabled the the fair to be declared a "gun-free" zone, WATE-TV reported.
It would be "unwise and imprudent" to allow concealed weapons at the state fair, Wake County Superior Court judge Donald Stephens said earlier this month as he ruled against allowing concealed firearms at the event.
Opponents of the gun ban blamed Stephens and other officials for the robbery — and claimed that the ban was illegal in the first place.
"By announcing to violent predators that people attending the North Carolina state fair would be unable to protect themselves, the responsibility for this armed robbery of fair-goers lies squarely with Agriculture Commissioner Steve Troxler, who illegally banned concealed at the fair, and…Stephens, who willfully misinterpreted the law to impose his own worldview," Paul Valone, president of Grass Roots North Carolina, told Guns.com.
Valone had argued the case in front of Stephens that the state fair gun ban violated a law passed by the state legislature that expanded concealed carry rights, and Stephens acknowledged that allowing concealed weapons "may chill crime," but he upheld the ban regardless.
"As we've seen time and again, gun-free zones are dangerous places for law-abiding citizens," Valone said, commenting on Saturday's armed robbery.
In the robbery, which police said occurred around 11:30 p.m. Saturday, two people walking back to their car from the fair were accosted by men in a tan or cream colored Lincoln car, who brandished handguns and took the victims' wallets.
On Wednesday afternoon, Raleigh police spokesperson Laura Hourigan told TheBlaze that one person, Kamonti Yasmin Blackwell-Price, had been arrested in connection with the robbery, but that the investigation was ongoing and further arrests may be made.
Anyone with information on the robbery is urged to contact Raleigh police.

I think I may have found my paradise - well the closest I can get to it anyway. A rainforest in the city!
These beautiful tall, glass, Victorian greenhouses are works of art in their own right, and inside they hold a living encyclopaedia of plant species from all around the world - as I said, my idea of heaven! I love walking through the different rooms and not knowing where you will be transported to behind the next door; maybe the Borneo rainforest or Nevada desert (minus the sand of course).
In true rainforest fashion I am wearing a raincoat from Protected Species, which is a company I have been working with for a while now as one of their social media contributors. (Link to their Instagram: @protectedspecies and Pinterest: @speciespro.) I'm a true advocate for their catchphrase "Engineered for performance. Designed for living," because not only are these jackets super stylish and would look great with anything in your wardrobe, they are also made using a technically sophisticated fabric that is breathable, windproof and 100% waterproof. Think of them like your high-tech North Face jacket but without the plastic-feeling outer layer and instead with a great style-led design.
Now I just have to wait until I can test these jackets out in the real rainforest!

Predico: A System for What-If Analysis in Complex Data Center Applications
Modern data center applications are complex distributed systems with tens or hundreds of interacting software components. An important management task in data centers is to predict the impact of a certain workload or reconfiguration change on the performance of the application. Such predictions require the design of "What-if" models of the application that take as input hypothetical changes in the application's workload or environment and estimate its impact on performance. The authors present Predico, a workload-based what-if analysis system that uses commonly available monitoring information in large scale systems to enable the administrators to ask a variety of workload-based "What-if" queries about the system.

Baseball-card business scores with rare, valuable
In the late 1980s and early 1990s, the baseball-card business boomed into a billion-dollar industry. But after a decade of backsliding, card-store owners have to be creative to stay in the game.
The Record (Hackensack, N.J.)
While Major League Baseball tries to hold on to its fan base, a business born from the national pastime — baseball-card stores — has been in a decadelong slide, forcing card-store owners to scramble to maintain their niche and learn valuable business lessons in the process.
In the late 1980s and early 1990s, the baseball-card business boomed into a billion-dollar industry, drawing kids as well as adults who hoped their cards would appreciate in value over time.
Walter Curioni, owner of Curioni's Market in Lodi, N.J., jumped into the baseball-card game a generation ago. Curioni sold baseball cards as a side business at his pizzeria beginning in 1988, and at the height of the baseball-card craze he would spend between $20,000 and $25,000 on cards per year.
"In the late 1980s, people would think someone would be a huge home-run hitter or something in the future, so they would buy their rookie card almost as an investment," Curioni said. "But now, that whole idea has just fallen through the floor for me. I really only sell cards now if people call me up looking to finish a set."
According to the weekly publication Sports Collectors Digest, card sales peaked at $1.2 billion in 1991, but dropped below $400 million by the end of the 2000s. In that period, the magazine said, the number of dedicated sports-card stores dropped to 500 from 5,000.
Some store owners said video games where children can trade or play with their favorite players has had a role in the decline in the allure of baseball cards. Also, free agency has loosened the bond between fans and players who constantly change teams.
Interestingly, the Internet has been less of a bane to collectors than for other business models. Online commerce has allowed the remaining stores to expand their business beyond local collectors.
The diminished market has made the hunt to find rare and valuable cards essential for the remaining stores.
"Now the more big-ticket cards you have — like the Mickey Mantle rookies or the Joe DiMaggio rookies — the more credibility it adds to your inventory," said Richard Budnick, the owner of America's Pastime in Fair Lawn, N.J.
A Joe DiMaggio rookie card can sell for more than $1,000, and a 1952 Mickey Mantle card can cost him upward of $15,000, Budnick said, which he can then sell for a profit. Finding such highly valued vintage cards isn't easy, though.
When he attends national or regional sport-card shows, Budnick said, he brings "tens of thousands of dollars" in cash to spend. The key, he said, is finding a way to get a leg up on his competitors — such as going a day early — because there are only so many cards that collectors are willing to spend significant money on.
"Today's buys are tomorrow's sales," Budnick said. "It's like being a hunter. I'm going up against a guy like me in Chicago and doing what I'm doing. I just have to beat them to the card."

Circus fun day is great success
12:17pm Tuesday 20th May 2014
12:17pm Tuesday 20th May 2014
A TWO-day family fun day at Brunel Quay has been hailed a great success by organisers Neyland Town Council.
The free event, which took place on Saturday and Sunday, saw families enjoy activities including circus skills with Panic Circus, bubble blowing, gladiator-style fighting, a Punch and Judy show, a 'test your strength' competition and bouncy castles.
Brenda Hannon, who attended with her family, said it had been "a lovely day, and just on your doorstep".
Town councillor, and newly-elected deputy mayor, Margaret Brace said she had been very pleased with the attendance.
"Everyone who turned up stayed for several hours, and really seemed to enjoy themselves," she said.
"We had wanted to do something to give back to the people of Neyland, and make the most of the beautiful location.
"We hope to build on its success next year."
She thanked Neyland Yacht Haven for its help with promoting the event, and Enterprise Cycles, Neyland Co-op, Castle Photography, Heatherton, Manor Park for their donations of raffle prizes.
Free day for families, make the most of the beautiful location of Brunel Quay.
Dyfed-Powys Police's neighbourhood policing team were also on hand to give advice about staying safe, and children enjoyed making 'fingerprint keyrings' to take home with them.
Chief Inspector Angela Reed said: "We have been working to offer a range of ways for people to be able to contact and meet us – and the introduction of these brand new iDome tents is another opportunity for us to be more accessible out in our communities."

5 Reasons to Watch The Ultimate Fighter Finale: Edgar vs. Penn
Frankie Edgar will look to go 3-0 against future UFC Hall of Famer B.J. Penn this weekend at the TUF 19 finale airing live on FOX Sports 1 with two new winners from The Ultimate Fighter also being crowned.
Edgar and Penn coached against one another during the season, although when it was all said and done, the New Jersey native stood tall with four fighters from his team making it to the finale with a clean sweep in the competition. Can Penn avenge his team while also beating Edgar for the first time?
With all the action going down on Sunday night, we're here to give you five good reasons to tune into The Ultimate Fighter 19 Finale.
Frankie Edgar gunning for No. 1 contender's match
The day Frankie Edgar arrived in the UFC featherweight division, he was already competing for the title against champion Jose Aldo. He also managed to push the long reigning title holder to the brink and nearly walked out with the belt. Now as Edgar approaches his third fight with B.J. Penn, is there a chance he'll contend for the title again very soon?
The featherweight division currently stands with Aldo as champion, but he's injured and there's no word on his return date. Chad Mendes is the undisputed top contender, but it seemed as if Cub Swanson was next in line before Aldo was forced back to the sidelines with an injury.
That means if Edgar can go out and beat Penn convincingly on Sunday night, there's a good shot he could be facing someone like Swanson with a title shot on the line in his next fight. First things first, Edgar has to dispatch of Edgar.
Legends never die
In the realm of icons in UFC history, B.J. Penn stands near the top of the list. He's already a two weight class champion, holding belts in both the welterweight and the lightweight division. Penn is a finishing machine with serious power in both hands, a crippling lead jab, and some of the best jiu-jitsu the UFC has ever seen.
This fight will mark first time ever, he will drop down to featherweight to try and avenge two previous losses to Edgar inside the Octagon.
Now there's no doubt Penn lost a lopsided to Edgar the last time they fought at UFC 118, but in their previous bout the two lightweights battled it out in a hard fought, five round war. When it was over, Edgar got his hand raised but the fight was painfully close and not an easy call to make.
Penn knows that with a win, he may very well be just a fight or two away from fighting for a third title in his historic career in the UFC. A loss would mean three defeats at the hands of Frankie Edgar, and a tough decision to make on whether or not he should return to the cage or say enough is enough and walk away from the sport for good.
Team Edgar light heavyweights throw down
An intriguing matchup will take place between the two finalists from The Ultimate Fighter season 19 in the light heavyweight division as 6'5" striker Matt Van Buren takes on former college wrestler Corey Anderson.
The two fighters trained together on a daily basis for six weeks while on the show, and now they will face off with only one of them walking out as the new Ultimate Fighter champion.
Latest UFC News
- UFC owner teases 'epic, massive' event for debut in New York
- Shogun out; Glover Teixeira now faces Rashad Evans at FOX UFC Fight Night in Tampa
- Carlos Condit willing to wait for title shot, retirement still an option
- Alistair Overeem announces he has re-signed with the UFC
- Ben Rothwell vs. Junior Dos Santos headlines UFC's debut in Croatia
Van Buren showed in his last fight against Dan Spohn that he packs a serious punch and has an incredible chin to boot. He throws a great jab and straight punch and thanks to his height, he will have a sizable reach advantage in this fight. Van Buren isn't afraid to get into a slugfest and if he can draw Anderson into his type of fight, this could be another knockout win to add to his resume.
It may not matter much, however, if he spends the whole fight on his back because Corey Anderson is a high level wrestler with powerful takedowns and solid ground control. Since the show was over, Anderson also moved his camp to New Jersey where he worked with his coach Frankie Edgar to get ready for Van Buren. Anderson got his start in MMA thanks to former Olympian Ben Askren, who recognized something in the up and comer right away and told him MMA would be in his future. Now less than two years later, he's competing for the Ultimate Fighter title.
It's striker vs. grappler and only one will walk out the winner of TUF 19
Power vs. speed in the middleweight finale
In the middleweight finale for TUF 19, New York based fighter Eddie Gordon takes on another Team Edgar member in Dhiego Lima.
Gordon is a massive middleweight with a whole lot of power and the ability to muscle his opponents anywhere he wants around the Octagon. He's also served as one of the main training partners for UFC middleweight champion Chris Weidman for the last two months as he was getting ready for his showdown against Lyoto Machida. Gordon is still a little raw around the edges, but working with the best fighter in the world at 185-pounds everyday certainly won't hurt.
As for Dhiego Lima, he comes from a family of fighters and possesses maybe the most well rounded skill set of anyone on the reality show this season. While he likes to think of himself as a striker, Lima showed his submission skills as well winning both of his fights in the house by tap out. He's naturally a welterweight so he will be giving up some size to Gordon, but he will have a real speed advantage on the feet. He's tall and knows how to keep an opponent on the end of his punches.
Can Gordon catch up to Lima's speed and crush him with his power or will the Brazilian out technique and out smart his former teammate? Tune in Sunday night to find out.
The Flyweight Wonderboy
Justin 'Tank' Scoggins has been a fun fighter to watch since debuting in the UFC late last year. He's only 22-years old so there's still plenty of room to grow for this young man, but what he's doing right now has already made him one of the most exciting fighters in the flyweight division.
Scoggins has some of the craziest strikes that come at opponents from every angle including a variety of kicks that look like something out of a Hollywood movie. He has a similar flashy style as that of welterweight striker Stephen 'Wonderboy' Thompson, who can throw from virtually anywhere at any time and land on an opponent.
Scoggins has his toughest test to date in the Octagon this Sunday when he faces veteran fighter Dustin Ortiz, but win, lose, or draw this kid is going to put on a show and that's what everybody loves to see.

To compare it to another tea from David's I think it is very similar to Prairie Berry however, I do find it to be a bit more sour. I would highly recommend this tea!

Colletti shying away from trades
Teams asking for multiple youngsters in exchange for big bat
By Ken Gurnick / MLB.com
LOS ANGELES -- Dodgers fans alarmed by the names and numbers of prospects demanded in return for a slugger like Miguel Cabrera are not alone. Ned Colletti sounds alarmed, too. "Any player that you would consider a middle-of-the-order bat, a run producer, as predicted, the cost of the prospects going back, at least in our minds, far exceeds the value of the player," the Dodgers general manager said Friday. "It's not one prospect, it's not two prospects, but in some cases it's three or four prospects. And our prospects are no longer prospects. They are big league players that continue to get asked about." Young Dodgers other clubs ask about most frequently are Matt Kemp, Chad Billingsley, James Loney, Jonathan Broxton and Minor League pitcher Clayton Kershaw. To get someone like Cabrera, who is on a Hall-of-Fame pace and is still two years away from free agency, the demand is at least three of them. "We're still on a mission to try to find it and cure it," Colletti said of an upgrade. "If that fails, we'll try to improve the club, even if it means the 25th man or the last pitcher. Right now, trade-wise, its a lot of bait-and-switch. We thought we had a deal the other day, but they got cold feet at the end." Colletti indicated the most-likely scenario for the Dodgers to improve their lineup would be to sign a free agent position player -- center fielder Aaron Rowand seems to be his main target -- creating a surplus of outfielders that would position the Dodgers for a trade to improve another area, be it for a third baseman such as Cabrera or a starting pitcher. While the Dodgers would prefer to deal Juan Pierre or Andre Ethier, any club willing to deal a player of Cabrera's stature would insist on equal value, meaning a player with the highest upside potential, meaning Kemp. Colletti said he has interest in Rowand, as well as fellow free agents Torii Hunter and Andruw Jones. "We're curious to know what their interest level is in playing here and what it's going to take to get them here," he said. "They're all accomplished and all bring something to the table. "We have some depth in some areas. If we improve in one area via free agency, it may open a trade route for us. Or we can improve ourselves with just a trade. The way it's shaping up, we can sign a free agent and it may cause a domino effect that can make someone expendable on our part to make a trade." Meanwhile, manager Joe Torre, who spoke about adding pitching at his introduction last week when he conceded he wasn't very familiar with the roster, apparently has done some cramming on the personnel he inherited, because on a conference call Friday his priorities had changed.
"Right now, we're looking to see what we can do offensively," he said. "And any time you can add quality pitching to your staff, you do it. I don't know if there are any gaping holes from what I've heard. I'm more familiar with the names of our guys, the Kemps and [Andy] LaRoches and Loneys."Torre also said he was not surprised that Alex Rodriguez would return to the Yankees. "What surprised me more was A-Rod opting out," Torre said. "I thought Alex was very comfortable last year." Colletti said the Dodgers would have been "in the mix" if Rodriguez had demonstrated that he wanted to be a Dodger.

'Guardians of the Galaxy' Star Chris Pratt Has a History of Flashing
'Guardians of the Galaxy' star Chris Pratt may be showing off his body more than, uh, usual in this week's new Marvel release (evidence below, and that's just a small sample), but just because the actor got in shape for the part doesn't mean it's the first time he has used his body for a role. Oh, no! Turns out, Pratt broke away from the bonds of clothing before, particularly on NBC's 'Parks and Recreation.'
The actor hit 'Late Night' this week to talk about the (apparently, very serious) situation with host Seth Meyers. If you remember the second season episode when Pratt's character Andy randomly showed up naked, you're going to get a big kick out of this, because Pratty really was naked. Artistic dedication!
'Guardians of the Galaxy' opens tomorrow.

Another re:newcell garment has been made!
re:newcell is proud to announce that yet another garment has been made using re:newcell fibres! A white t-shirt was produced by Julia Aronsson and Stina Björquist as part of their bachelor thesis at the Swedish School of Textiles, University of Borås. In the thesis, Julia and Stina focused on testing garments made from re:newcell fibres and compared them to a high qualitative reference fibre. The tests made on the re:newcell garment showed the fibres to be of good quality in areas such as dyestuff absorption; tenacity in both wet and dry condition and also in withstanding high abrasion.
The t-shirt was formerly blue jeans and consists of 100% of re:newcell fibres.

Born in South Hope on Nov. 23, 1921, she was the daughter of Woodbury W. and Annie (Harris) Lermond, and was a 1939 graduate of Union High School. On Nov. 29, 1939, she married Robert Frank Crabtree in Rockport. Agnes and Bob lived in Camden until 1975, lived in South Hope for 15 years, and moved back to Camden in 1990.

This is the bit that shows how Python is built on Solaris (uname=SunOS). SAGE64 will be set to "yes" for a 64-bit build. OPT="-g -O3 -m64 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes"; export OPT ./configure $EXTRAFLAGS --prefix="$SAGE_LOCAL" \ --enable-unicode=ucs4 --with-gcc="gcc -m64" Many other parts of Sage seem to inherit the flags ok from Python, but not numpy. It is not a Solaris specific issue, as the same issue results on OS X. Dave Dave
