I've got a wacom intuous medium that I use for fuckin everything. They're not cheap, but they last forever without having to do weird shit like tape paper over them.
I mean I've had some of the off brand tablets over the years, and the only ones that haven't malfunctioned in 6 months were this and one I stole from my high school. Which was also a wacom.
oh shit you break my heart OwQ
2016-11-26 06:09:34
I don't have one, just a mouse OWEW
Good luck with school and your animation project btw :)
tks :)
how you even draw with a mouse www
(oh wait seems like u dun draw :3)
2016-11-26 07:26:58
i dont have one, i just use the "Paper" app on iPad (free app download), it gives a pretty unique look
my computer tablet sucks so i'll just my galaxy tab A with the gifted 'sketchbook' program.
2016-11-26 08:54:58
I'm buying a Intuos Comic Small this next tuesday, for 3.000$ ;3
you're breaking my heart too nooooooo ;((((
2016-11-26 12:12:12
I got a Wacom Bamboo used from some guy on reddit. Pretty great so far.
Huh thats great 0/0
2016-11-26 12:17:13
I couldn't tell one tablet from another, but the one I got was recommended by a friend who really needs to post more of his great shit on this site. It says "Huion" and I'm sure there's more than one kind, but I couldn't tell you without digging out the box it came in. I even bought Clip Studio Paint, or whatever it's called. Impressive looking, but all the features confuse me, so I typically prefer MS Paint with it. Prior to that, I was using Paint with the mouse and my non-dominant hand, and the crap I made was still... competent, so my current situation is significantly better I'd say (and type), but I still strongly prefer crayons and colored pencils on paper. TightLitan can attest to that, considering the garbage I've shown him. Typing of which, you still own me a reveal of "9-021" from the previous entry. Was it full of notes? cute drawings? porn? notes about cute porn?
Good luck and have fun with that animation project. I'm going to down some more flu medicine and spicy food in hopes of feeling better soon. I guess sleep would help, too, but if I mess with my sleep cycle, I won't be able to wake up on time for work tomorrow. *shrugs*
Alright thanks for letting me know that ^^
9-021,just a little sketch about 'SharaX'.
I have some problems on uploading them so sorry about that ;(
Hope you get better soon :3
(and who the hell is a 'TightLitan' XDD)
2016-11-26 12:19:57
i dont have one, AII of my Art is made by mouse ^-^
2016-12-02 10:07:10
I don't own one but the school provides them for us.From my experience,the stylus can work quite smoothly if one knew the basics of using it and not apply too much pressure while using it(there's settings for that in the computer).I mostly ended up getting ones with shorter or missing tips.
2016-12-05 08:26:03
But the teacher was really kind enough to give us the number of a local tablet supplier.I'm just not sure if they do overseas deliveries though.
Wow seems like you have a REALLY nice teacher :p
Tks and nah i don't need it X3
2016-12-06 08:42:23
In fact,all my teachers in my present school are like that(yes,it's hard to imagine).Are you sure you don't need anything?
I don't have any money (not a word about these sh*t) and i'm a little too busy for settle these oversea ships sh*t besides i'll always mess it up...
But whatever pm me about that plz 0u0
And yeah, i tried to imagine how's your school like but failed XDD
2016-12-10 13:51:35
It's better if you don't try to imagine it....For me,studying there can be both a dream and nightmare.
2016-12-11 08:20:46
The teachers are very patient,so it's a dream and there are no bullies,so it's a good place to study in.
The nightmare begins when there's homework.
Oh i see XDD
Nobody likes homewprks huh :)
2016-12-11 09:36:11
Doing homework is like eating vegetables.You hate it but you know it's good for you.
Good one XDD
2016-12-12 09:40:12
And people will nag at you if you don't take it.
Yeah, like WHY U DUN DO UR HOMEWORK or stuff blahblahblah i have enough.
2016-12-12 13:31:01
I have paper, I'm fckin old fashioned I know.
Me too it's ok.
2016-12-16 08:58:52
How's your project?
Now finally started to work on the computer drawing shits...
2016-12-16 11:02:39
I hope that isn't really what you're drawing,haha,just kidding.If you think drawing is hard,try doing that in 3D.
Trust me,i've tried.
And it only took my two days to give up XDD
2016-12-17 02:37:40
Imagine having that as a school lesson.
Oh my god shut up XDD
Are you kidding me XDDDDD
2016-12-20 09:19:07
That's my life,mam!Hmph.

Fragment of commentary on the writings of the prophet Isaiah ("Moraliter," chapter XXIII).
15th Century. - Single leaf, (11 ½ x 8 ½ inches). 27 lines in center block surrounded by 2 columns of 76 lines, rubricated with initials in red and blue (one small wormhole, slight browning at edges). Incunable leaf, likely from the "Biblia Latina cum Postillis Nicolai de Lyra," the Latin Vulgate Bible with Nicholas de Lyra's commentary. This particular leaf shows chapter 23 from the Book of Isaiah (in Latin Vulgate) in a center block of text, with Nicholas de Lyra's commentary surrounding it in two columns. The Bible verse begins, "The oracle concerning Tyre. Wail, O ships of Tarshish, For Tyre is destroyed, without house or harbor; It is reported to them from the land of Cyprus." The burden of Tyre focuses the prophet's message on the major coastal city of the Phoenicians to the north. The Greeks called them "purple folk" because of their famous purple dye. They were the shipping merchants of the Near East. Zidon (Sidon) was another prominent Phoenician coastal city. Isaiah foresees the coming destruction of this great commercial empire. Tarshish is the common designation for the westernmost part of the Mediterranean, as far as Spain. Chittim refers to western lands, especially the island of Cyprus. Isaiah announces that trade with these distant places will cease because of Tyre's destruction.

I've always overflowed with ideas. I keep them in notebooks and post it notes around my workspace. Inspiration is everywhere. Nothing lights me up more than bringing these ideas to life. My interests range from food to wellness to marketing and everything in between.
At the age of 12, I was selling greeting cards in my mother's flower shop. As a young teen, I sold candy and flowers at school. I didn't know it back then but creating businesses would become my passion.
At 22, I set out to change the skincare world with a line I created in my kitchen. While it got rave reviews and ended up being in the treatment rooms of some of Barbados' top spas. I found myself feeling unfulfilled. There, in my kitchen at 2am, it hit me that making products by hand wasn't my destiny.
Since that epiphany, I've been on a journey to bring more ideas to the world, launching ventures in app marketing, a dessert restaurant, tea and consulting. Each project has brought me great joy, lots of lessons and allowed me the privilege of creating an interesting and satisfying life.
These days, I work with small groups of other business owners to bring their own dreams to life. Having launched so many times, it's one of my favourite things to do.
If you're looking for someone to help you bring your vision to life, click here to apply for a spot in my next mentorship circle.
I'm a big picture thinker. My specialty is creating action plans and operating processes. My clients call me when they need to see beyond their roadblocks, when they need expertise to guide them towards the next step.
As a mentor, I work with business owners who have a vision but can't quite figure out the path. I help them design the business that's right for them – Simple. Profitable. Impactful.

She went to her bar with her friend, and when they find two very interesting men who show interest in them, it looks like things will turn out wonderfully. Then, her friend meets an old flame and leaves her by herself. Angie is about to discover these are no ordinary men, and both of them want her.
Warning: This audiobook contains explicit descriptions of sexual activity and includes paranormal sex, vampire sex, double penetration and more. Only mature adults who won't find that content offensive should listen to this audiobook.
Here is a preview:
Karl handed her one of the drinks, and she took it with a smile. It was sweet and very strong, and she raised her eyebrows. "Something with Grand Marnier, grenadine, and two or three spirits. It's an old family recipe, actually. I had to tell the bartender how to make it. If you'd prefer, I'll order something else." She shook her head. "No. I was surprised, that's all. It's very good, actually." She wasn't just being polite, the drink was good, though stronger than she'd ordinarily drink. Karl smiled. "It would be no trouble to replace it." "Please," she said. "I'd like to keep this drink." He smiled, and there was something about his smile that thrilled her. It wasn't unlike crushes she'd had in high school, the almost painful and desperate need for approval and notice from a boy in class or her English teacher. She turned her attention back to her drink and hoped it wasn't obvious."Stop charming her, Karl. She comes willingly or not at all." It seemed a strange thing to say, and Thomas turned to Angie. "I'm afraid my friend can sometimes be too persuasive," he said. "We will take no offense at all." Angie rolled her eyes. "Boys," she said, "I love this drink. Now stop before you make me feel self-conscious." Thomas smiled at her and put his hand over hers, and the touch was almost electric. Again came the youthful wistfulness, and again she tried to distract herself by getting lost in the drink. Before she realized how quickly she'd been drinking, she'd finished it. Karl smiled and pushed over the glass originally intended for Vicky. "Do you come to this bar regularly," Karl asked, "Because I've not seen you here before." "I don't go out much at all," Angie said, "But Vicky practically begged and then…" "And then abandoned you," Thomas said.

text: Ok, SO.... I am sooooo excited and proud of my self...... As you all can tell from my massive post count, I haven't been here long... In fact I've only had my Hero since mar 13. I've never had a smartphone before and I'm VERY happy with my phone. Ever day I'm still finding new lil quirks and tweaks on it and I get all fuzzy about it again. Now I've also been impatiently waiting for the 2.x update to roll out and got really excited about the leak. I thought to myself "hey, worth checking out" I had NOOOO idea what rooting was & had never really "hacked" anything. But I wanted those live wallpapers and speach to text and sadly I'm not quite a good enough salesman to afford the N1. I wouldn't really trust someone I don't know to root & flash my phone, & I sure as hell don't trust any of the "ra-*****" I know to do it.That left me with a spooky descision.... try & do it my self and risk turning my baby into a pretty paper weight... . I spent 5 1/2 hours reading everything I could on rooting, flashing and mod'ing the hero on this & 3 other forums and I'm proud to announce, I did it! It's all really thanks to ccapasso for his amazingly comprehensive guide to rooting (http://androidforums.com/all-things-root-sprint-hero/38911-guide-root-rom-faq-tutorial.html), and to flipz for the awesome work he (and others) did on the ROM (Download: Fresh Rom 2.0d | visual voicemail + a2sd + lwp Geek For Me – Android CDMA Sprint Hero). Granted I haven't been able to mess with it a whole lot (cuz I was up til 6 am stressing myself out over it) but the only "bug" i've found so far is that the live wallpapers don't seem to respond to me interacting with them. (kinda dissappointing, but I can live with that)The speech2text is working great in the built in text app, as well as Handcent. Also in the browser (not just google search but even log in fields) and of course Google Nav. If I come across anything I'll post here (as well as let flipz know) So, just thought I'd throw out there, if you're lookin for an easy way to root & upgrade to 2.1 those are the links to follow!!!!!

This page contains Sonic Adventure 2 Battle Hints for Gamecube called "Easy rings" and has been posted or updated on Oct 3, 2006 by death48.
- Developer: Sonic Team
- Genre: Action Platformer
- Release: Feb 11, 2002
- ESRB: Everyone
Easy rings
Go to any Chao Garden and go near one of the trees. When the coconut or fruit falls off, you can sell it at the Black Market. It does not sell for much, but is worth something. You will get 10 rings for the coconuts.
Go to the Chao Garden. After your Chao has hatched, take the egg and go to the Black Market. Sell your egg shell for the following prices.
Normal egg: 50 rings
White egg: 100 rings
Red egg: 120 rings
Get the Light Dash ability and go to Metal Harbor. Whenever the large rows of rings are ahead of you, use the Light Dash move. This is a very fast and easy way to get rings.
Get something that sells for a lot of rings. If you do not have many, get an old pot and use it for this trick. If you have the time, get a Shiny Egg Shell (recommended). You cannot sell the egg -- you can only sell the shell. Go to the Black Market with the egg and you sell it. then. Exit out of the Black Market and while still in the Kindergarten, hold B + Start + X for about two seconds to reset your game (without saving the Chao data but saving the game data). Since the Chao data did not save, the game believes the egg is still there, while the saved game data records that you sold the egg for a couple thousand rings. You will get the egg and the money back. Repeat this (sell the shell, reset game, then go back to the garden) to end up with lots of rings.
Play Sonic's first level under "Find The Lost Chao". Keep going through the level without getting the Chao until you get 999 rings, which is the maximum number. Then, get the lost Chao .and it will add 999 rings to your game. This is helpful if you want to get a beanie for your Chao later in the game.
On the first level, select the third mission on stage selection screen. Go through the level until you have 999 rings. Then, after you run down the building, do not hit the bouncers and go to the right. Play the Mystic Melody and work your way to the top. Repeat this to get as many rings as needed.
In City Escape level, you can get more than 425 rings. This will give you more rings for the Choa Gardens in just one level. You can also get more than 435 rings if you get all the rings, including the Light Dash rings after you break the iron box after the street boarding part at the very beginning of the stage.
Unlock the racing game (just route 101 or 280). If you got a "D" or "E" rank on the first mission, it would be easier for you to do mission 2 (get at least 100 rings). If you got "A", "B", or "C" rank, just do mission 1 (get at least 200 rings and also get 2 extra lives).
For quick and easy rings, just go to the City Escape level and collect 300 rings every visit.
Use the following trick to get 100 rings in any level, especially Rouge's and Knuckle's stages. Collect as many rings as you can, then go to the back ring. You will start the level over with all of your rings, and will be able to recollect them.
Go to any level as Sonic or Shadow. Choose the third mission (find the lost Chao) and go through the level collecting rings. Do not get the Chao. Go to the end of the level. When you hit the goal ring, you will be taken back to the beginning of the level. You will have all of your rings and all the rings originally on the course will be back. Repeat this until you have as many rings as needed.
Go to the Black Market after you have collected 70 emblems. Buy a Shiny Yellow Egg (7000 rings) and hatch the Chao. His egg shell is worth 1200 rings.

PSA Peugeot Citroën creates a 5th stroke for the diesel engine
In line with a commitment made in 1998, PSA Peugeot Citroën will introduce the first particle filter system (PF) to be fitted as standard, from early 2000, when they will launch the new engine heading up the family of HDi "common rail" high-pressure direct-injection power units in one of the group's vehicles for the future.
By eliminating particles and smoke the PF system will further enhance the advantages the diesel engine enjoys on the score of environmental protection.
A diesel engine inherently uses less fuel than a petrol engine and therefore emits less greenhouse gas. This plus-quality is compounded in the HDi engine which in comparison with a classic diesel unit further reduces CO2 by 20%, CO by 40%, hydrocarbons by 50% and particles by 60%. At the same time it offers even more enjoyable motoring.
Developed over 18 months, the PF system was brought to fruition thanks to the "common rail" system in the HDi engine which, by its principle of operation, allows total control of all the phases of combustion. Via the engine management system the flexibility of the "common rail" allows the filter to be regenerated, using post-combustion to modify exhaust gas temperature.
Until now, the main obstacle to developing the particle filter for the car was regeneration of the filter element by combustion of particles that had been filtered out.
Peugeot Citroën has adopted a technical solution which offers efficient
regeneration, unnoticeable by drivers and needing no action on their
part, yet preserving the pleasures of motoring whatever the conditions
of use.
The PF system described
It comprises
The particle filter
particle filter is a porous silicon carbide unit, comprising
passageways which trap particles in the exhaust gases stream. It is
notable for its very high filtering efficiency and its ability to
retain particles.
The principle of particle filter regeneration
Regeneration consists of periodically burning up the particles accumulated in the filter element. Primarily composed of carbon and hydrocarbons, particles trapped in the filter burn in the presence of oxygen at a temperature of 550 C.
Regeneration is controlled by the "common rail" injection system, which allows multiple injections to raise the initial temperature of the exhaust gases (around 150 C in urban driving) to 450 C as they leave the exhaust collector box.
There are two stages to this temperature increase.
A control adapted to the injection system allows exhaust gas temperature to rise to 450 C.
The fuel additive
reach the regeneration threshold, the fuel receives a cerine-based
additive product, Eolys ®, made by Rhodia, which lowers the natural
combustion temperature of the particles to 450 C.
The PF system in practice
Exhaust gas is continuously filtered. Depending on the filter's state of congestion, regeneration takes place every 400 to 500 km/250 to 300 miles.
maintain its efficiency, the filter will be cleaned at dealerships
every 80 000 km/50 000 miles by high-pressure water, to get rid of
cerine deposits.
A positive benefit to the environment
The PF system is part of the overall strategy pursued by PSA Peugeot Citroën to reduce pollutant emissions. By eliminating particles and smoke it endows the HDi diesel engine with an ecological advantage in absolute terms.
PF system allows for further improvement, thanks to complementary
catalytic post-treatment Systems lowering gaseous emission levels still
further as the quality of diesel fuel itself is improved, especially
with the sulphur content reduced to less than 30 ppm.
The PSA Peugeot Citroën group will start production of the PF system with the launch of the DW12 TED4 engine at the beginning of the year 2000.
This 2,2 litre engine will develop 98 kW power and torque of 315 Nm - offering superior performance to the current 2,5 litre diesel engine.
Designed to limit the emission of pollutants, it features

Scott's Auto Express, llc
Mr Reed showed up at the end of the day on a friday and asked for a Missouri Vehicle Inspection. With only 45 minutes of our day remaining we accommodate him. While the inspection is going on he asked if we could diagnose why his truck that was running poorly. I explained our diagnostic charge and mentioned that there may not be enough time left in the day to get it fixed even if we had enough time to properly diagnose. At closing time we had diagnosed his problem and he was told that we would stay late to make the repair at which time he seemed grateful. 1 hour after closing time his truck was repaired.
As a shop I believe we went above and beyond to make sure Mr Reed was taken care of. With the repair that was made it seems to be in-line with any other shop in this area. Not sure why he is so unhappy. While talking with Mr Reed during his repair he had complained about every other shop in the area and that no would could satisfy him, that he was overcharged and poor workmanship. I'm not sure that any repair shop could ever please Mr Reed.

Percy Gerald StewartPrint Page
Commemorates Percy Gerald Stewart M.L.A for Swan Hill 1917-19 and MHR for Wimmera 1919-1931.
`One of the few genuinely radical leaders of the early Country Party`, the thin and lanky Stewart was an ascetic individualist who set great store by his principles. Convinced that the V.F.U. could best serve farmers by remaining independent from other parties, after 1918 he sat next to the Labor opposition and frequently voted with them.
Stewart`s intransigence, combined with his electoral popularity, created a problem for his own party which was then canvassing coalition with the Nationalists. In October 1919, however, he resigned and won the Federal seat of Wimmera which he was to hold until his death. One of five original members of the Federal parliamentary Country Party, Stewart was also one of the three managers appointed to look after its interests.

Viewpoint: the need for a Catholic Kama Sutra
The way moral perspectives on sexuality have dominated theology for centuries has belied the power of sexual loving to feed the soul. An oversimplified 'right or wrong' stance regarding complex human experiences does no justice to some of the most pivotal spiritual experiences of any life - Gordon Hilsman writes in the National Catholic Reporter.

P 0306 code
during hunting low speed and low revs had code 306 come up after start up. Then a tapping noise start then goes. Had it tolled back to town. start up to put in the shop. Now there is no tapping noise. any ideas guys and gals before the mack - n - nicks get there hands on it. 2012 5.7l 1500 Hemi with the fuel saver what that does
how many miles? misfire cylinder #6...I would pull the plugs on that cylinder and compare to the others... I would clear code and see if it does come back, if it does, i would swap coil packs (with any other one) and see if the code follows (then it would be a coil pack issue).... and/or remove coil packs on passenger side valve cover and remove valve cover. Inspect the valve springs and look closely at the cylinder 6 valve springs for any breakage (which would cause valves to tap)
Code had been cleared and the oil changed since it was due. ( every 5k ). No problems the load ticking has since been silenced. Still have the Hemi Tick, talked a Chrysler Canada Rep, and a 5.7L expert, 3 Mack - N - Nicks. most of them agreed that dirty oil can screw with the MDS and cause a lifter to hang up.
Good to hear. I was thinking maybe your were on an incline or off camber terrain and might have managed to starve the oil pump for a split second.. if that is even possible with our engine's oiling system.
I don't know about up in Canada, But
down here the 2009 has a Lifetime Power Train Warranty
engine, transmission & rear end, are taken care of for the Life of the vehicle, no charge to me
of course, i have to pay for regular servicing

Consolation Prizes
- Artist: Inviolet Row
- Genre: Rock
- Release Date: 8/19/2003
Inviolet Row/Consolation Prizes Inviolet Row reminds me most, actually, of the Church - that legendary Aussie band who never really achieved the kind of success in the Northern Hemisphere that their countrymen INXS and Midnight Oil did, despite being scads better than either of those bands, which were pretty damn good in their own right. Front man Lee Scrivner's lyrics are just as lovely and often as obscure as those of Steve Kilbey, the Church's lead singer and bassist. Scrivner told me that they'd been mixing and producing Consolation Prizes for months. Any band given that amount of time to play around with the music inevitably gets it's Pink Floyd on: weird chorus effects, strange strings and Jim Steinman backing vocals. Pretentiousness is not always a bad thing ... Too many bands these days want to be Radiohead, and most of them have neither the talent nor the wit to do so. Inviolet Row isn't Radiohead - but they could be, someday, and they're probably the closest thing we have out here in the Great Neon Golgotha [Las Vegas].

The second Chart shows the actual annual dividend growth of JNJ over the last 20 years. Its dividend growth has averaged nearly 14% per year, well over the break even level required. Even with the recent swoon in the market, JNJ has produced a mid double digit total return over the last 20 years. Looking back at the top chart, we see that a 10-Year T-bond now yields about 3.75% and JNJ's dividend yields just over 3%. This relationship is betting that JNJ's dividend and price will not grow in the foreseeable future. I don't think that is a good bet and neither do the analysts who follow the stock. The consensus average of the analysts is that JNJ's earnings and dividends will grow by just over 8% annually during the next 3-5 years. If JNJ's dividend does grow 8% annually, as the analysts are projecting, and its price continues to grow at about the same rate as it dividend, that would produce almost an 11% total return over the next 3-5 years. Sounds too good to be true, especially when we see the carnage that has befallen Wall Street lately, but I believe many quality companies such as JNJ will continue to produce solid results in spite of the uncertainties that are confounding the markets. We are passing through a financial storm. Yet, we now have the whole world working to repair the effects of the storm. History shows us that when we have gotten the whole working on a problem, it has been solved. I believe this will happen again. I will review other companies in the coming weeks that appear to be oversold. We own JNJ in our clients' accounts. The principals of the firm also own it. Please consult your own adviser on the merits of JNJ.

Johnson and Johnson Offers More Than A Band-Aid
I still believe that the hedge funds are the main culprits behind the continuing sell off in stocks. Their client defections are running high and their funding sources have disappeared. Without the ability to borrow, they have only one choice -- sell. The sell off is creating some unusually attractive bargains. The chart at the right compares the dividend yield of Johnson and Johnson (JNJ) with the yield on a 10-Year US Treasury bond, going back 20 years. In 1988 the T-bond yielded nearly 9% vs. about a 2% dividend yield for JNJ. JNJ's dividend growth and price growth have had a high correlation for many years, thus, to break even a buyer of JNJ in 1988 would have had to have expected at least 7% annual dividend and price growth to justify buying the stock.

The cause of these issues were traced to a deliberate attack targeted at one of Telikom's, wholesale ISP customers, impacting Internet services delivered into PNG over its APNG2 link.
"An orchestrated and severe Denial of Service (DOS) attack targeted at Datec's ISP caused massive congestion on Internet capacity delivered into Port Moresby over the APNG2 link. This sustained attack also overloaded our Tiare gateway routers at Ela Beach", said Eugene Singh, Telikom's Chief Operating Officer. "In this case, over 2,000 internet devices across the globe were involved in this sustained DOS attack, limiting the capacity of internet services into PNG and impacting some of Telikom's Internet capacity between our Tiare gateways at Madang and Port Moresby".
"We were fortunate that Telikom's Madang Internet gateway continued to supply Internet services into the country during this attack", said Mr Singh. "The issue was resolved following Telikom engineers tracing down more than 400 ISPs around the world which were originating these traffic and requesting them to prevent this issue at source, which took time to complete".
DOS attacks are aimed at overwhelming ISP networks and resources by congesting networks with unnecessary traffic. While DOS attacks are unpreventable, Telikom has commissioned a project to upgrade its gateway routers at Ela Beach to improve its ability to withstand the scale of such attacks in future.
Telikom PNG apologize for any inconvenience caused to our customers and the general public.

Since the founding of the organization in 1947, the performing groups of the Quincy Symphony Orchestra Association have performed countless outstanding orchestral & chorus concerts. We are growing, and in the last few seasons have drawn over 1,000 attendees to several concerts. People like what we are doing! However, that is just one part of the story – the QSOA also introduces children to the joy and rewards of high quality music through our youth orchestra, youth chorus, and educational outreach. The QSOA is an integral part of the fine arts culture that enriches our community and quality of life in ways that last a lifetime.
To achieve our mission of bringing quality music to a wide-range of audience members, we keep our ticket prices very low, and offer free admission to all children 18 and under. Yet, presenting concerts and educational programs is an expensive endeavor. The result is that admission revenues cover only a very small portion of our costs. We rely on donations from people like you who are passionate about the programs we provide. All donations of $25 or more will be recognized in next season's program booklets.
Thank you for your support of fine music and educational programs for our region.

Learning Apache Mahout
In the past few years the generation of data and our capability to store and process it has grown exponentially. There is a need for scalable analytics frameworks and people with the right skills to get the information needed from this Big Data.
Mahout is one of the first and most prominent Big Data machine learning platforms. It implements machine learning algorithms on top of distributed processing platforms such as Hadoop and Spark. Starting with the basics of Mahout and machine learning, you will explore prominent algorithms and their implementation in Mahout development. You will learn about Mahout building blocks, addressing feature extraction, reduction and the curse of dimensionality, delving into classification use cases with the random forest and Naïve Bayes classifier and item and user-based recommendation. You will then work with clustering Mahout using the K-means algorithm and implement Mahout without MapReduce. Finish with a flourish by exploring end-to-end use cases on customer analytics and test analytics to get a real-life practical know-how of analytics projects.
Apache Solr Search Patterns
Solr is an open source search platform built on a Java library called Lucene. It serves as a search platform for many websites, as it has the capability of indexing and searching multiple websites to fetch desired results. We begin with a brief introduction of analyzers and tokenizers to understand the challenges associated with implementing large-scale indexing and multilingual search functionality. We then move on to working with custom queries and understanding how filters work internally. While doing so, we also create our own query language or Solr plugin that does proximity searches. Furthermore, we discuss how Solr can be used for real-time analytics and tackle problems faced during its implementation in e-commerce search. We then dive deep into the spatial features such as indexing strategies and search/filtering strategies for a spatial search. We also do an in-depth analysis of problems faced in an ad serving platform and how Solr can be used to solve these problems.
Apache Solr Essentials
Search is everywhere. Users always expect a search facility in mobile or web applications that allows them to find things in a fast and friendly manner.
Solr Essentials is a fast-paced guide to help you quickly learn the process of creating a scalable, efficient, and powerful search application. The book starts off by explaining the fundamentals of Solr and then goes on to cover various topics such as data indexing, ways of extending Solr, client APIs and their indexing and data searching capabilities, an introduction to the administration, monitoring, and tuning of a Solr instance, as well as the concepts of sharding and replication. Next, you'll learn about various Solr extensions and how to contribute to the Solr community. By the end of this book, you will be able to create excellent search applications with the help of Solr.
Apache Hive Essentials
In this book, we prepare you for your journey into big data by firstly introducing you to backgrounds in the big data domain along with the process of setting up and getting familiar with your Hive working environment. Next, the book guides you through discovering and transforming the values of big data with the help of examples. It also hones your skill in using the Hive language in an efficient manner. Towards the end, the book focuses on advanced topics such as performance, security, and extensions in Hive, which will guide you on exciting adventures on this worthwhile big data journey. By the end of the book, you will be familiar with Hive and able to work efficiently to find solutions to big data problems.
Learning Apache Mahout Classification
This book is a practical guide that explains the classification algorithms provided in
Mahout with the help of actual examples. Starting with the introduction of classification and model evaluation techniques, we will explore
Mahout and learn why it is a good choice for classification. Next, you will learn about different classification algorithms and models such as the Naïve Bayes algorithm, the Hidden Markov Model, and so on. Finally, along with the examples that assist you in the creation of models, this book helps you to build a mail classification system that can be produced as soon as it is developed. After reading this book, you will be able to understand the concept of classification and the various algorithms along with the art of building your own classifiers.
Learning Apache Kafka, 2nd Edition

Growing Australian native flowers commercially
Date: 22 Aug 2003 Author: Bettina Gollnow, Jonathan Lidbetter, Ross Worrall
The worldwide floriculture industry demands a diverse range of cut flower and foliage products, with the unusual and the exotic always attracting the attention of this fashion-driven industry. On the world market, Australia's export potential lies in its unique native flora, a rich resource of valuable new flower products waiting to be fully developed and marketed to the world. Domestic consumers are also increasingly seeking out native flowers.
Many native flowers and foliages now being grown commercially were initially mostly bush-picked to first establish market acceptance. Today in NSW most are grown in beds or rows in commercial plantations along the coastal strip where there are suitable growing conditions and good transport links to major domestic and export markets.
Up to 95% of Australian flower exports are Australian native flowers and protea flowers. Worldwide production of Australian native species is worth an estimated A$400 million per year, with Australia's share currently standing at A$50 million. This means that growers located overseas (especially in California, Africa, Israel and South America) are growing significantly greater volumes of Australian native flowers than we are growing in Australia, and the research and development input into these species overseas is greater than local investment.
What makes a flower suitable for commercial growing?
Most traditional flower crops grown commercially today are the result of many years of intensive selection and breeding. For example, carnations have been grown for over 2000 years and have been improved by breeders since the 16th century, making the carnations that a florist uses today very different from the original wild parents. This means that a wide range of flower colours and forms is available to cater for the fashion trend of the moment. Also, a great deal is known about the cultivation needs of these crops — growers can adapt this information to suit their situation and market needs.
In sharp contrast, relatively few Australian native plants have been the focus of rigorous improvement programs (we have an estimated 30 000 native species), and any selection programs have commenced only recently. Ironically, this provides Australia with a competitive advantage. Many Australian natives are basically still 'wild' plants, grown from seed — their cultivation requirements in different parts of the country are largely unknown. Some species, for example kangaroo paw and wax flower, have already become 'world crops' and offer the market a great diversity of form and colour.
Another perceived difference between Australian native and traditional cut-flower crops is the length of the flowering season. Under outdoor conditions in much of NSW, many crops like roses and carnations produce flowers throughout most of the year. Other crops like chrysanthemums have a short flowering season, but commercial growers can produce flowers for most of the year by choosing early and late flowering varieties and by artificially controlling the daylength under which they are grown.
Australian native species mostly flower in spring and have a relatively short flowering season. Little is known about what triggers flowering in these plants, making the manipulation of crops, so that they flower on demand, a long way off. Undoubtedly there are benefits of applying production technology, developed for traditional crops, to native flower growing.
So, what makes a native plant suitable as a commercial cut flower?
- The blooms must be decorative and potentially be available in a range of colours and shapes.
- The stems need to be strong and in proportion to the bloom in terms of length and diameter.
- The flower must have a suitable vase life after harvest to give the end customer value for money. A vase life of 7 days or more is preferred. It may be possible to extend vase life by using preservative solutions or other postharvest techniques. The postharvest characteristics of many native species are still poorly defined. Flowering stems that have a tendency to drop flower parts, or have petals that shrivel quickly, are not suitable for floristry, nor are plants with prickly foliage or offensive odours.
- A species must be suited to cultivation; that is, it should be easy to propagate in large numbers and show vigorous growth in both nurseries and commercial plantations. This is necessary so that a large volume of the same product can be offered to the market.
- A suitable species will have a long flowering season, or have several cultivars available which have different but slightly overlapping flowering seasons.
- Prolific flowering early in the life of the crop is also desirable; otherwise, growers need to be prepared for significant inputs of labour and money to care for the plants over a number of years before any marketable product is produced.
Most commercial flower crops are grown in beds, with a large number of individuals of the same type massed together. This means that pests and diseases can become a problem and result in severe crop losses if not managed. Also, customers demand a product free of blemishes, pests and diseases. This means that the growing crop must be managed constantly to ensure pests and diseases are kept to a minimum.
While many traditional flowers have been bred for their tolerance of pests and diseases, native species are at a very early stage of improvement, and for many, pest and disease tolerance is undefined. Many native species are susceptible to severe root and stem diseases caused by the fungus Phytophthora and other related fungi. Knowledge of the susceptibility of native flower crops to various pests and diseases, and of the management of these pests and diseases, is still at an early stage.
Last, but most important, the economics of commercially growing native flowers need to be considered. The economics are related to a range of factors, including:
- number of blooms produced per unit area per year;
- cost of production — the cost of setting up the flower farm infrastructure and the ongoing costs of fertilisers, irrigation, pest and disease management, weed control, pruning, picking, grading, and postharvest handling and transport;
- net price received per bloom or per bunch.
Australian natives in the cut flower industry
To date, a small but steadily growing number of Australian natives satisfy all the criteria that make a species a good candidate for commercial flower farming. Those listed below are being grown commercially and may be suitable for testing by new growers. For most, there is limited published information on their cultivation as a plantation crop, and even less on the economics of growing them. Plants may need to be sourced from specialist plant nurseries or seed suppliers, and often ordered well in advance to ensure that the number of plants required are available at the appropriate planting time.
While accurate industry statistics are not available, the native and protea flower industry, also known as the wildflower industry, is believed to have a domestic market share of 10%–15%, while exports are currently valued at A$50 million. Unlike the traditional flower industry, which has all the features of a mature industry, the native/protea industry still has the characteristics of a developing industry, as it has a high percentage of new, inexperienced growers. However, it is a more export-focused industry, and it obtains its information from a wide range of sources.
To date, growers have tended to work cooperatively, and a number of active grower networks and associations have been formed in NSW. Unfortunately, the industry is still very fragmented, with a large number of small businesses involved and a multiplicity of marketing channels; it also lacks accurate industry statistics and forecasts. Many growers are part-time flower growers who have other business or farming interests. To date, the industry has not invested adequate funds in research, development or promotion.
The NSW native flower industry
The east coast of Australia has an extremely rich flora, but ironically many of the initial commercial plantings of native flowers in NSW were based on species sourced from Western Australia. This was due to:
- a history of exports of bush-picked material from the west;
- the belief that many of the most appealing east coast species were too hard to propagate or cultivate;
- perhaps a failure to appreciate the local flora.
The past 10 years have seen a rapid expansion of the native flower industry, with the entry of large numbers of new growers. Most of the industry is now located along the coast, with a strong focus on the Mid North Coast and North Coast regions, where crops come into production at a key time to satisfy the prime market opportunities in Japan. This expansion has occurred for several reasons, including:
- a greater local demand for quality, cultivated, native flora;
- stronger targeting of key crops;
- greater availability of basic production information;
- development of crop-based and locally based grower networks;
- wholesalers and exporters fostering grower development through better feedback and crop recommendations;
- stronger collaboration between the research and development institutions and industry;
- increased pressure to reduce bush-picking;
- restructuring or downturns in other agricultural industries.
Species in commercial production in NSW
In step with the expansion of the industry in NSW, there has been an increased investment in species that occur naturally in this state, for example:
- waratahs
- NSW Christmas bush
- flannel flower
- riceflower
as more local selections have become available and more is learnt about their cultivation. Waratahs and Christmas bush in particular have seen a resurgence in interest and have been planted extensively in the last 5 years.
Plantations established within the natural range of these species have generally experienced fewer problems than those planted further afield.
Crop snapshots
- New crops - reinvented
- New crops now well accepted
- 'Potential' or very new crops
- Western Australian species
Other sources of information on specific crops include the following websites:
- Rural Industries Research and Development Corporation
- Department of Agriculture, Western Australia
- Department of Primary Industries, Victoria
Growers and marketers of Australian native species need to be aware of their obligations under the NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) Management Plan 2002–05: 'Protected and threatened plants in the cut flower industry'. The NSW NPWS administers legislation that restricts the commercial use of protected and threatened species in the interests of protecting species diversity and ecological sustainability. This plan describes management procedures aimed at ensuring sustainable harvest of native species used commercially in floristry. The plan includes details of licensing regimes affecting growers of cultivated product and bush harvesters. Compliance with this plan is required by Environment Australia (Canberra) before permits to export native flower products are granted.
For more information see the following websites:
Industry news
- A number of industry associations serve the native flower industry in NSW. Please refer to the publication Commercial flower growing in NSW - an industry snapshot for contact details.
- The industry and NSW DPI have developed a logo (shown at right) to be used on stickers and flower sleeves to promote cultivated Australian native flowers. This logo aims to encourage higher industry standards and increased florist and consumer confidence in the use of native flowers, in addition to raising funds for research, development and promotion of native flowers. The scheme is being administered on behalf of the industry by Australian Native Flower Growers and Promoters.
- NSW DPI hosts an annual meeting of NSW commercial growers of wildflowers (Australian natives and South African proteaceae).

MONICA Perrett has not even won a chook raffle before, so claiming the 2014 Barnardos Mother of the Year South Australia award is a pretty good start.
But it hasn't been an easy road for the Murray Bridge mum of six "awesome" kids who has safely brought back home one runaway child and is currently estranged from another, daughter Bethany.
It was Bethany who nominated her mother for the award of Mother of the Year presented at a ceremony in Adelaide yesterday.
"Mum will be 40 in May and this will make up for all the birthday presents she has missed out," Bethany wrote in her nomination.
That was just a few short months ago.
"I haven't always seen eye to eye with Bethany so it broke my heart to know she had nominated me," her mother said.
"She's running with the wrong crowd, but if your kids don't want to listen to you there is very little you can do.
"But it doesn't matter how tired or frustrated you are, you just keep loving them."
Organisers say the award, in its 19th year, is not a reward for the perfect mum, but for an everyday mum doing extraordinary things every day.
Mrs Perrett, an aged care worker of 12 years, is eminently qualified.
Along with attending to her children, aged between 15 and 20, she cares for her three-month-old granddaughter, Hannah, who is Bethany's daughter.
She also has custody of her infant nephew, who has spina bifida.
Even then she finds time to campaign to improve the lives of others and recently brought to light the issues of abuse of residents at a nursing home.
In 2011 she worked tirelessly to support legislation to allow the parents of runaway children more power to bring them home.
That episode was sparked when her 14-year-old son ran away but mother and son have been reunited.
Ms Perrett will represent South Australia at the Barnardos Australia Mother of the Year awards in Sydney on May 9.
She is entitled to take her nominator with her.
"I may be taking Josh along (her eldest child) which would make me very proud," she added.
"But it would be special to be there with Bethany."
Other South Australian finalists were Laura Elkins of Seacombe Gardens, nominated by her son Hudson and Correnna Sheehy of Hilton, nominated by her daughter Hayley.

First-level Degrees per year
Degrees to men 87
Degrees to women 29
Five institutions gave data on Ph.D. degrees:
Ph.D. Degrees per year
Degrees to men 40
Degrees to women 10

Specific about Sweden
Sweden is one of the countries in the world with the largest percentage of women working outside home and it is generally regarded as a country where there is equality between the genders. Nevertheless among the working women nearly 80 % work in areas dominated by women.
Slightly more than 50% of the university undergraduate students and 45 % of the graduate students are women. The percentage of women decreases on higher levels, with 25% women among university lecturers and only 12% of the professors. When there is an imbalance in the gender representation employers are required by law to seek to remedy this imbalance by specifically recruiting persons of the under represented gender. However at universities positions are often announced with a very narrow competence profile that suits one intended applicant, which in most cases is a man.
Many universities have a policy that if there are less than 4 applicants for a post the area should be reassessed by the board to attract more applicants. We have a suggestion that field of research should also be reassessed if there are no female applicants. Needless to say that to our knowledge no university employs this criterion at the moment.
The Swedish Association of University Teachers (SULF)
SULF is a union for professors, lecturers, researchers and postgraduate students within Swedish universities and colleges. SULF also has members from the Swedish national research councils. SULF has no political affiliations. SULF has a broad equal opportunities program. Some items on the agenda are: Organization and Leadership, Recruitment, Professional life, Personal life and parenthood, Equal salaries, Sexual harassment.
SULF has also made a survey of differences in salary.
Since 20 years structural differences in salary based on e.g. gender are prohibited in Sweden. In 2001 a government agency showed that there is an actual difference of 10% in salary between men and women which it is not possible to explain by objective reasons.
Last year a statistical survey of the salaries of university employees was done at Lund University. The result of this survey is that when one normalizes for faculty, age and level of competence there is still a systematic difference in salary between men and women, on all levels except assistant professors. This is true for all faculties. Since 2000 the difference has increased among professors while for other categories there seem to be only random fluctuations. No major efforts have been made to remedy this situation.
Stockholm University
Stockholm University has an official equal opportunities policy which states that the gender balance should be between 40% and 60% at all departments. The physics department is far from fulfilling this goal. The number of women faculty at the Department of Physics is 11%. Among the undergraduate students 50% are girls (January 2000) and 30% of the graduate students were girls at that time. When hiring new staff the department does not focus on equal opportunities, during the last ten years one woman and five male faculty have been hired.
In the year 2001 the department was evaluated and the women presented figures and some ideas on how to increase the number of women faculty. In the evaluation report the issue was not even mentioned and when the chair of the evaluation committee was asked why, he said that they had "forgotten it".
There are few official initiatives from the department to increase the number of women among the undergraduate students, but on an individual level there have been more. To increase the interest for physics among young girls elementary-school teachers receive further education in physics. There has been a special emphasis on "everyday aspects" of physics, e.g. simple experiments that can be performed in class, and not so much mathematics. The results from these courses where we try to "Sell physics to women" are very encouraging.
Stockholm University has also participated in the gender inclusive programme with a "Project oriented study programme". This programme has however been terminated.
Some years girls in high-school have been invited to the department and been informed on what it is like to work as a physicist.
The ministry of Research and Education
The ministry of research and education, when asked, do not state anything specific about physics or science in the next propositions to the parliament. (When asked today's main issue is to raise the number of male students in health care educational programmes). However several efforts have been made in recent years.
Some years ago a law concerning funding for Ph.D. students was passed. It is now required that there is full funding (four years) before a Ph.D. student is accepted at a university department. Before it was possible for students to start (and in some cases finish) their Ph.D. without funding.
Some years ago (1999) a report concerning equal opportunities issues in undergraduate physics text books was compiled. (von Wright 1999). It is shown, among other things, that most text books are far from gender sensitive and show little gender awareness. Scientific knowledge is presented as being more accurate than other areas of knowledge. A vast majority of the texts value properties that traditionally are thought of as of male gender higher than female.
Gender inclusive programmes
Following an initiative from the Swedish Government, to increase the number of women in male dominated undergraduate programmes, five gender-inclusive projects started in 1995. These have recently been evaluated. The new programmes had common features such as:
Rethinking of traditional forms of teaching and assessing, problem solving approaches and implementation of interdisciplinary studies.
Three of the projects have been very successful in their goals to recruit female students and to keep them. Common for these programmes was that they created strong internal cultures with small project groups and staff continuity. In this way it was easier to introduce the "new" way of thinking into a male dominated environment. One important factor to recruit and keep women was that the students were first introduced to all subjects and the choice between subjects was postponed. It was also important that the students worked closely with peers and tutors.
The evaluation can be found at: www.hsv.se/rapporter_nyhetsbrev/pdf/ISBN_80_X.pdf (in English)
Royal Institute of Technology (K TH)
At the Royal Institute of Technology there is a project called "Technology for girls" to introduce women/girls to physics, chemistry and technology. This is part of a larger initiative to introduce children and youngsters (girls and boys) to these fields. The project is a local initiative from the project leader. Girls in Stockholm, 13-14 years old, are offered to participate in the course which is sponsored by the city of Stockholm and the National Agency for Education. The course is very popular and only about half of the applicants are accepted due to lack of space. Students at KTH are tutored by the project leader and then guide the girls in the laboratories. The guidance is both on a scientific and a more personal level. The girls are divided into small groups and perform about 2 experiments per day. Similar courses, but with more theory are given for girls at the age of 17. Most of the girls are very positive and many continue in the field.
KTH has had a mentorship programme for female undergraduate and graduate students for many years. Due to a reorganization this programme has been terminated but there are plans to start a similar programme again, this time for both genders.
Uppsala University
Physics majors undergraduate level 29% womenGraduate students 22% assistant professor 28% Lecturer 13% Professor 3% Professor (chair) 0%
At Uppsala university the department is refunded at a level of 70% for a graduating male Ph.D and 105% for a woman Ph.D.
A network for female physicists, throughout Sweden, was established in Uppsala in 2001. The aim is to have a yearly conference for female physicists. One of the divisions at the physics department has a unique number of 55% women among the graduate students. This in turns attracts female students to the division.
Personal reflections:
The secretary syndrome: women are treated as assistants/secretaries. Female students' research is not taken as seriously as male students'.
Chalmers University of Technology/Göteborg University
Statistics: percent women and (number of women): Undergraduate students 22% (first year)
Graduate students 23% (30)
Assistant professors 13% (3)
Lecturer 9% (4)
Professor 11% (1)
Professor (chair) 17% (4)
Chalmers/Göteborg University have participated in the programme of gender-inclusive projects described above, with the programme "Scientific Problem Solving". This programme incorporates studies in mathematics, physics and environmental sciences and has attracted many women. There are also local initiatives from teachers to create courses with "everyday problems" and these often attract women. The drop-out rate for women has been very low in this programme.
