Originally drawn in 1999 as a college project with the ambition the make the "most beautiful" alphabet in the world.
After these heroic beginnings, Spaghetti lay dormant in the VLNL vaults for many years, appearing to silently peter away.
Now look at it! Ten years hence, it is finally being served up in glorious OpenType, precisely al dente. As automated special sauce, each lowercase character before or after a space receives a nice little ball to round things off. And finally, the parmesan cheese sprinked on top is a a tasty bunch of ligatures—enough to make your mouth water.

Wusik Review: Drum Construction 001
2012-05-09Constructed and designed by the team of Ben Wilson and Dom Kane, Drum Construction 001 was assemb
moreDrum Construction 001
To launch the brand of Quantum Loops, we've put together what we think will be a one-stop-shop for all the electronic drum samples you''ll need for years to come. Designed by Ben Wilson (AKA Bonn Lewis / DivKid) along with label head Dom Kane, the "Drum Construction" kit is packed with thousands of single drum shots perfect for any genre from Deep House to full-on Techno, and Ambient Breaks to raging Dubstep.
This pack has been precision engineered to the highest standard, using various vintage analogue and digital synths (Moog, Roland, Doepfer, and more) and processed through various analogue and digital signal processing techniques including tube pre-amps, filters, custom designed MaxMSP patches, and mastering tools.
Inspiration has been taken from all sides of the spectrum, from 20:20 and Djuma Soundsystem, all the way to Deadmau5 and Swedish House Mafia. You'll find the softest and deepest of subtle kicks of deep ambient house, to the overdriven crunches of screaming dubstep and techno.
In addition to the thousands of one-shots, we've included some extra bonus content including some pre-made genre-specific drum loops, along with folders of 16-pad genre-specific kits for sequencers, drum fills, all ready to use for all producers big and small.

DVD: The Inbetweeners: Series 3 (18)
The Inbetweeners is not known for its high-brow comedy, but the third (and what looks set to be final) series manages to outdo itself for moments of hilarious crudity.
From a group vomiting session in a tent to the appearance of a rogue testicle during a fashion show, it is full of cringeworthy moments that manage to be consistently entertaining. Not that toilet humour is all there is to this school-based sitcom; it succeeds because of the twinges of painful recognition it causes in anyone who remembers the crushing embarrassment of their school days, and it feels as if much of the events depicted actually happened to the writers in one form or another. Saying that, there are times in this series when the show doesn't feel at its best – some of the situations the central characters (led by "briefcase wanker" Will) find themselves in feel a touch contrived, whilst the fact that this is the third series would have been a good opportunity to make more use of the supporting characters, especially Greg Davies' head of sixth form Mr Gilbert, whose rare appearances are almost always the highlight of an episode. Still, thanks to some brilliant performances and a willingness to always go that little bit further, The Inbetweeners remains one of the freshest and funniest comedies produced about the very real pain of growing up.

Mixed-Use Developers Urged To Plan For Defect Claims Before Signing Contract
Developers of mixed-use projects can reduce the likelihood of costly construction defect litigation by anticipating risk and allocating responsibility at the time of contract. Unfortunately, developers often assume that the standard industry forms provide sufficient protection. These forms, however, rely heavily on good faith for resolution of issues in the … [Continue Reading]

During our trip in Rome in May/2012 we were accomodated in this beautiful, new restored residenza. It is situated only 7 minutes from San Peters Square and just only few minutes from Ottaviano/ San Pietro metro stop. Our one bedded room was very nice with every day helpful cleaning service. Breakfast was included in price in nearby café just 1 minute from residenza. Staff in residenza and café was very friendly willing to share advice about what to see and where to eat good and for reasonable price. Although residenza is situated on a busy street, we were positively surprised how quiet it was inside. The only problem were celebrating neighbours in next room the last night.:) All in all, I definitely advice Residenza dei Gracchi for a pleasant stay in Vatican City and Rome.

Great Lakes hearing offers rare chance
For decades, Superiorites have felt slighted, even forgotten, on the broader stage of the state.
For decades, Superiorites have felt slighted, even forgotten, on the broader stage of the state.
When it comes to resources, or even a voice on broad issues, distance has long been a barrier. Often, the larger cities of the southern part of the state are granted the convenience of easy access when it comes to public debate about policy issues that affects all of us.
That's not the case Thursday night when the International Joint Commission comes to town to hear from people in communities along the greatest of the Great Lakes about matters that could directly impact tourism, industry and the environment of Lake Superior.
Now, Superior has a chance to shape an international policy.
The luxury of a short drive – rather than the 300 miles to Madison or 400 miles to Milwaukee – should be met with an enthusiastic response as the binational forum reaches out to population at the headwaters of Lake Superior before forming policy that could affect the way of life we've come to expect.
Whether your livelihood depends on any of the industries that rely on the Great Lakes shipping or the tourists drawn to our shore, or if you just enjoy life along the nation's grandest lake, now is the time to speak up to shape the future of Lake Superior.
Thursday night is the perfect opportunity to speak up and fill the ear of the binational policy board that influences two national governments that will set policy for the Great Lakes.
After all, early findings of the study into lake levels found a driving factor in low lake levels to be the climate change affecting the world.
Whether your interest is a beautiful vista of blue, dropping a line in the water or your livelihood depends on the lakes, you have something to say that could shape our future.
So show up in force. Our Great Lakes depend on your voice 6-8 p.m. Thursday at WITC's Conference Center.

Blues sell Peoria Riverment to Canucks
The Blues have sold their American Hockey League affiliate the Peoria Rivermen to the Vancouver Canucks.
The deal still has to be approved. Outside the announcement of the sale, neither team has released any additional details, but Fox 2 reports any changes are not likely until after the season.
Tom Stillman assumed ownership of the Rivermen when he purchased the Blues last May.
Schwartz and Berglund both scored in the third, but it wasn't enough to power the Blues past the Canucks
Jannik Hansen and Dale Weise also scored for Vancouver (14-9-6), which ended a two-game losing streak.
Jaden Schwartz and Patrik Berglund both scored in the third period for the Blues (16-11-2), who lost for only the second time in seven games. St. Louis had won three straight with rookie goalie Jake Allen. He stopped 16 Canucks shots.
The Blues outshot the Canucks 34-19. Vancouver managed only a total of five shots in the first and third periods.
After being badly outshot in the opening frame, the Canucks woke up in the second period and scored three unanswered goals.
Schneider started after watching the previous four games from the bench. He was kept busy in a scoreless first period as the Blues outshot the Canucks 15-3.
He made saves on David Perron from left wing and Alex Pietrangelo from the right point. After retrieving his own rebound, Perron sent the puck to Pietrangelo.
Later in the period, he robbed Pietrangelo from short range with his glove and foiled Andy McDonald, who returned to the Blues lineup after missing 10 games with a knee injury.
Hansen opened the scoring 2:30 into the second period when he took a cross-ice pass from Mason Raymond in the neutral zone, skated over the blue line and beat Allen with a slap shot.
The goal came on Vancouver's sixth shot of the game. Daniel Sedin gave the Canucks a 2-0 lead less than two minutes later when he fired in brother Henrik's angle pass from behind the goal line.
Daniel Sedin ended his scoring drought at eight games.
Weise, known for fisticuffs rather than scoring dexterity, extended Vancouver's lead to 3-0 midway through the second period on a nifty play. He took a spin-around forehand pass from Jordan Schroeder and then deked Allen while skating across the goal mouth.
It was Weise's second goal of the season and first in 11 games.
The Blues got on the scoreboard just over five minutes into the third period when Vladimir Tarasenko's shot bounced in off Schwartz, cutting their deficit to 3-1.
Berglund pulled St. Louis within a goal at 13:38 of the third as Kris Russell's shot bounced to him off the back of Canuck defenseman Chris Tanev's head.
The Canucks received a power play with 3:06 left in the third period as Vladimir Sobotka was called for holding. The whistle finally blew after the Canucks had a prolonged delayed penalty, struggled to get the puck up the ice with an extra attacker. Kevin Bieksa just missed the net as he tried to put in a pass from Raymond.
St. Louis was blanked on three power plays. The Canucks were unsuccessful on two.
NOTES: The Canucks lost forward Zack Kassian to an injury in the first period. He had returned to Vancouver's lineup after missing the previous two games with a sore back. He fought St. Louis forward Chris Stewart, the NHL's first star of the week, less than three minutes in. ... Vancouver forward Andrew Ebbett was scratched, and David Booth remains out indefinitely with a leg injury. ... Stewart played his 300th NHL game. ... Blues forward T.J. Oshie missed his third consecutive game with a rib injury. He is expected to return Saturday in Edmonton.
Blues down Canucks in shootout, 4-3
Patrik Berglund also scored for St. Louis, which swept its three-game road swing after losing five straight games.
Blues rookie goaltender Jake Allen made 28 saves and stopped the Canucks' Ryan Kesler and Alex Burrows in the shootout.
Kesler and Henrik Sedin had their first goals of the season and Mason Raymond also scored in regulation for Vancouver, which has lost two straight after winning six in a row.
The Canucks looked destined to lose in regulation after the Blues took a 3-2 lead early in the third period, but Raymond tied the game on a power play with 1:47 remaining.

According to management, our goal is to do everything and do it very well. That's easy, right? We just put that down as two bullet items:
- All the features. - All bugs closed before ship. But seriously, GTA is an excellent example because the mechanics are usually mediocre (the shooting is a prime example - it's not even as good as other Rockstar games) but almost nobody cares just because it has so much stuff. For the perils awaiting you if you fail, Ride to Hell: Retribution is one of the ultimate (and recent) examples of what happens when your scoping goes horribly wrong. Originally intended to be open world, it was hastily compressed down to a linear experience in which not a single mechanic works. Not one. That's not just designed badly, that means often fails to work at all. Of course that can be fun if you know what you're getting into. Look up some Youtube videos! |

I am in an area in California that is technically Zone 9 by zip code, but it is not unusual for a few winter nights to get colder than the 20 degree limit of Zone 9, so it is almost like a Zone 8 area with rainy winters and very hot and dry summers. Snow is extremely rare. I have a planting area that is only about 3 feet deep than I would like to plant something that will provide privacy from a neighbor's house. I had Thuja emerald greens planted, but now I don't want to wait 5 or 10 years for them to get large enough to do the job. So, I plan to relocate these small Thujas to a different part of the patio and get something larger and/or much more fast growing that can be planted close enough together to provide s screen. I need something like a fast growing shrub that will fit in this area and also grow tall enough the screen the view from the windows shown in the photo. I need evergreen because I need the privacy screening to remain year round. It would be best if the shrub grew mostly upwards and didn't need a lot of maintenance and pruning to keep the width in check. The area is sunny except for the shadow of the fence. However, I had just planted two small decidiuos trees on the extreme left and the right of the patio off camera that will provide shade when they grow larger in 5 or more years. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Here is a photo of the new tree that will provide some shade in a few years. I cannot get a good photo due to the sunrise glare in the way. So, I need a tall-growing evergreen plant along the fence that will grow well without much shade other than being in the shadow of the fence, but will also be able to continue living without issues when there is some overhead shade when this tree matures. |
I'm afraid I have to harp on again about my biggest landscaping gripe: forcing too large a plant into a confined space. Just leave the thujas as they are. Be patient, as it will not take ten years for privacy. Five years for a beautiful and full shape, but in landscaping terms, that isn't very long. BE PATIENT. I wouldn't dream of planting a large deciduous tree that close to a fence and right next to a patio. For onew thing, the tree won't like it, but your patio might also be damaged by tree roots growing under it. And in several years' time, most of the leaves from that tree will end up on your neighbors' property. Would you want them doing that to you? By the way, if that stone mulch is sitting on top of weed barrier fabric, don't expect anything to thrive. It's easier to deal with weeds. If the stones are just sitting on top of the soil, they will eventually find their way down into the soil. That is a nightmare. I would replace all of that with mulch, which makes it so much easier for air and water to reach the plant roots. In other words, do what is best for the plants, and not what is convenient for the gardener. |
In previous posts jaxo has clarified that the corner where the tree is does not abut a neighbour's garden but has a sidewalk and road on the other side of the fence. We don't know what that tree is so it's hard to make assumptions about its suitability or about how big it is going to get. But I would leave the Thujas alone - they'll grow soon enough. |
A neighbor has the exact same type of ornamental pear tree planted and it fits fine. It is a "Capital Pear." Their tree is already about 20 ft tall and the trunk still is only about a couple feet or less around, there are not any surface roots and the branches don't start until several feet above the fence line. So, neither the trunk, nor the branches, nor the roots have a problem fitting in the space.. The branches grow in a V shape, so they do not hang low over the road/sidewalk and probably will never need to be pruned. Their tree fits well in the almost identical yard. That's why I decided to get the same tree. The Emerald Green grows 6 to 12 inches per year. If these grow on the low end, it will take 12 years for them then to add another 6 feet of height, which would just barely start adding privacy from those upstairs windows. Maybe these Thujas are not the right plants to do the job of privacy at all, and I should get a shrub rather than a conifer?. |
What about privet and boxwood? I'm looking for something that would grow to about double the height of fence so it can block the view of the windows shown in the first photo. Would there be l lot of pruning involved with privet and boxwood to keep the depth at around 3 feet and height in the 12 to 15 feet range? Is there another type of shrub that will get the height of well over 10 feet and not more than 20 feet without too much pruning to keep it from having growth sticking out very far into the patio area or growing into the fence on the other side? |
We rented a place where the landlord had put up a 12-18 inch lattice atop the fence line, then trained star jasmine grow along it all across the back. I have no idea how that might work for you or how long it would take, but it came to mind when I saw your picture. |

Boxwood grows slower than just about any other plant I could name - you will be waiting for years for boxwood to get anywhere close to 12-15 feet. The arbs will take NO time compared to that. And because it grows so slowly, purchasing mature boxwood shrubs of any size is cost prohibitive. I'd consider Pittosporum tenuifolium or bamboo (clumping would be my choice) for your screening needs. Both are evergreen, grow fast, provide great privacy benefits and with the exception of an annual pruning to keep the pitt in a slim profile, are pretty low maintenance. |
Privet is fast growing and will get tall, but it is a lot of work to keep under control if you want it to stay "slim and trim." It will want to grow out as well as up, so guess who will be forever clipping and coaxing it into the desired shape? :) In the tall/skinny/no pruning category...Greenspire Euonymous, Sky Pencil Holly, or Green Tower Boxwood won't get as tall as you want, and no instant gratification there either. There are plenty of big shrubs out there...Mock Orange, American Holly, etc, but again, they will naturally grow wide as well as tall. Bamboo is a nautral choice for a fast growing screen. Just keep your eye on it, because it can go wild! Have you considered just buying the tallest thuja you can? Or a more work intensive approach: you could build a simple raised bed along that fence and re-plant...it could give you 2-3 extra feet. And thinking of options like that, the "sit back and wait" approach sounds better, right? ;) |

I'm not sure bamboo can handle a cold snap of several days in a a row of frost at night.. In January and February we can have a week or more of overnight frost with occasional dips well under 20 degrees Also, isn't there an issue of unwanted invasive spreading of bamboo if you are in an area where it does survive the winter? I have heard of people who got bamboo and could not get rid of it once it got established. |
Yes, I will consider getting bigger Thuja's, but the local nurseries don't have any 15 gallon sizes. They say have some 5 gallons that are "big for a 5 gallon." They said they can get 24 inch planters trucked in from another city for about $250 a piece that may already be over 6 feet tall. They can get them in week. I have 4 small Thujas now, but maybe I could get 3 of the big ones and spread them out a bit more than than these were. |

Some bamboos are hardy down to zone 5 - if it can grow in the Midwest (and it does!), California is a piece of cake!! There are clumping bamboos - much like tall ornamental grasses - as well as running bamboos but even running bamboos are very controllable if one follows reasonable procedures. They sell containment products for this very purpose and a few bamboo nurseries in my area even have maintenance services that go out annually and make sure the bamboo is behaving. btw, I know CA is expensive but $250 for a 6' arborvitae is ridiculous!! We sell 10 footers for about half that and both Lowe's and HD offer 6' arbs for around $75 from time to time. I'd suggest you go a bit further afield and see what you can find. It may be very wwell worth your effort to take a drive to some other areas to see selections and sizes available at other garden centers. |
It's possible that they are much bigger than 6 ft. They would be the size that goes into a 24 inch planter. So, they should be much larger than the size you get in a 15 gallon pot. I will verify the minimum sizes before committing to a purchase. I will also investigate bamboo if can find one that will neither die in the winter, nor have out of control growth and spreading into unwanted areas. |
As soon as I looked up bamboo, one of the first things that came up was an article warning of the dangers of planting bamboo. See the link below. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Do not plant bamboo article
I was at Home Depot to buy some lumber and I saw they had a "holiday" stock of evergreens...I didn't look very closely, but I know there were some arbos that were around 8 feet tall and I didn't see anything over $125. It would be worth looking into! |

First, that is an extremely alarmist article that contains a lot of misinformation. If you are going to research bamboo, research it from the source - the American Bamboo Society or various bamboo grower websites.....heck, even GW has an active and articulate Bamboo forum that will provide you with much better information that that! And there is NO concern about clumping bamboo escaping or causing problems. NONE! I'm not sure why you think bamboo won't overwinter for you - it grows here in the PNW beautifully......sometimes too well if not maintained correctly :-)) Bamboo can be a lot more cold tolerant than folks think - certain species can even grow in Alaska without much concern! There are dozens of very hardy bamboos that will thrive for you - most of the clumping forms are very cold tolerant. |
Here is a link that might be useful: cold hardy CLUMPING bamboo
I agree about the bamboo article. It is rather extreme and misinformed. Sounds like a bad experience with bamboo really soured the author. :) Still, bamboo can be grown in containers to keep it from escaping...it could look pretty cool and it would preserve more of your lateral space. |
That picture looks nice, but the cost of getting a raised planting bed installed plus the hassle of losing the drip system I have now and having to hand water may not be worth it. Probably be cheaper and safer to just buy three or four 8+ ft Thujas even if I have to wait a few months to find them.. |

The $200 million additional US grant announced during the visit of President Barack Obama to Jordan in March was transferred to the Treasury this week, according to Finance Minister Umayya Toukan.
The financial aid seeks to reduce the burdens on the Kingdom's finances due to hosting hundreds of thousands of Syrian refugees, the minister said Monday night
during a dinner hosted by The American Chamber of Commerce -- Jordan.
At the event, attended by US Ambassador to Jordan Stuart Jones and businesspeople, Toukan talked about Jordan's financial policy and economic reforms.
He said that over the past few years, Jordan has continued to show resilience in the face of regional and international economic challenges, and to implement reforms to remove distortions from the economy.
He explained that the government has made several fiscal reforms that aim at increasing public revenues while reducing the deficit from 7.7 percent of the gross domestic product in 2012 to 5.2 percent this year.
The government, he said, will continue to remove all forms of subsidies, adding that if authorities see a need to provide support in the future, it will be through targeted subsidies to protect low-income groups.
Among other reforms, the finance minister said the government has been working to enhance the business and investment environment in the Kingdom, which he described as attractive due to the qualified labour force in addition to the country's strategic location and its security.
Jones was also among the speakers at the event as he reiterated the U.S.' support to Jordan to share the burdens for hosting large numbers of Syrian refugees.
The event was sponsored by The Housing Bank for Trade and Finance.

Thu 01 Aug
One of the so-called "geniuses" at my local Apple Store told me that the iPhone's home button, which was so problematic on the iPhone 4 is now a serviceable part on the iPhone 5. Apple apparently identified the root causes of that problem and accounted for them in the design and manufacturing of its current model. The new home button shouldn't become unresponsive over time as its predecessor so frequently did — but if it does, Apple can repair the button itself rather than replacing the entire unit, as it used to do.
It's been almost a year since the iPhone 5 was introduced, so why should I care? Well, I had to bring my own unit into the Apple Store for repair recently, which is when I learned about this incremental bit of hardware progress. Thankfully, my iPhone 5's home button has been working without a hitch, but sadly the same can't be said of its power button. That piece recently started losing responsiveness, just like the iPhone 4's home button used to, often requiring two or three hard presses to turn the unit on or off. For me, just one person, that's frustrating. But from anecdotal evidence, lots of folks with iPhone 5s of similar vintage have been experiencing the same troubles, which leads me to believe this is a common hardware defect.
Apple's solution? Well, unfortunately the iPhone 5's power button is not a serviceable part, so the entire unit had to be replaced. Apple did this for me under warranty, thankfully, so I can't complain too much about getting a brand new phone for free. But if I can gently offer a little advice to our friends in Cupertino: someone wise once said, "Skate to where the puck is going to be, not to where it has been."
I'm not sure if replacing just the button is the most efficient way to fix it. Which is more efficient: pay a repair tech in North America $75/hour on a one-at-a-time basis to fix it. Or send it back to China and have a tech there fix it (at let's face it, a much lower wage) in a large lot with all the other phones with broken buttons?
I took mine in to the genius and he said that the fact that my power button was working 30% of the time meant they couldn't do anything for me. It had to be completely dead before they would help me. I'm going to hope for a different genius this week when I go in again.
This kind of thing (to me, IMHO, yada) belies Apple's bluster about their AGONIZING over the design of their products. Good design of a piece of ART need NOT take into account usage; it is likely to sit and look pretty. But good design of a functional device ABSOLUTELY needs to take usage into account. I simply do not believe that Apple's designs—Home button (failure, difficult to repair), Power button (failure, difficult to repair), iPhone 4 GSM antenna ("death grip", still sold to this day), back glass (shattering, easy to repair), polycarbonate (shattering, difficult to repair), front glass (shattering, difficult to repair on iPhone 4/S)—do not reflect that level of agonizingly "perfect" industrial design. The iPhone 4 Home button and antenna both were designs that should never have made it to market. But the fact that Apple did not feel the need to drop the iPhone 4 and substitute a "new" iPhone 4 based on the iPhone 4S antenna design, or modify the Home button design in the 4S (ala the 5) says everything that needs to be said about their "agony"...it simply didn't happen. The bottom-line won out, not the "pursuit of perfection".
What puzzles me more is that Apple could LEGITIMATELY use repairability and superior design as an "innovative" advantage. They attempt to, via their marketing message. However, as I stated, the existence of such foolish design decisions detracts from the truthfulness of that message. And it isn't as though this design stupidity is new; it has been something the Apple consumer has struggled with for decades: Retina MacBook screen issues, too little RAM in the first iPad/Mac, first gen DisplayPort lacking digital audio, NVIDIA graphics problems, MacBook thermal paste problems, MacBook shell cracking, PowerMac G5 water cooling issues, "wind tunnel" cooling noise, etc etc etc.
Apple needs to get serious about this, and needs to walk the walk if they're going to talk the talk. iFixit's charges of lack of repairability would fall upon deaf ears if Apple's products truly rarely needed to be repaired due to design issues, yet that isn't the case. AppleCare has become tantamount to a "tax", a hedge against poor design. In coming months/years, Apple's ability to avoid such mistakes and extend their designs (water-resistance that works, unlike Samsung) could be what keeps them at the top of the heap…but at this point, I know of too many people who have been bedeviled by design flaws (Home/Power buttons that inexplicably fail at 12-14 months) and no longer trust Apple's marketing message, meaning it has become no more than mere "hype".
I'm glad to have come across this page, as I see that many other customers have the same issue.
My solution? Get a replacement before the one year warranty expires, and immediately sell the new phone to buy something different. -If your phone is under contract with a service provider, bite the bullet and buy it out so you can sell it - this is the only way to avoid risking a very expensive repair (or total replacement) in the not-so distant future…
Shame on Apple - this 'power button' issue plagued the iPhone 4 models as well, and clearly they made no effort to fix it. This leads many consumers to believe that Apple purposely built the iPhone 4 & 5 with structured obsolescence in mind, so that they can boost their revenue at the expense of their loyal customers… Its disgusting.
Since money talks, and since Apple does not offer customers a fair deal with this issue, the only way Apple will fix the problem in the future is if loyal Apple users go elsewhere.
-Given how Apple refuses to give a fair deal to loyal iPhone 4 and 5 users who have phones are more than a year old, its time to send this backward corporation a message!

- Rockler HVLP Spray System / Item number 61577
- Brand: Rockler | Category: Spray Guns
It's been about 6 wks since I purchase this Rockler Spray System I'm very happy with the performance of this product.
I own a small compressor and I had been using this for quite some time but I was kind of annoying with the level of noise and the fact that is not as portable as I wanted to be, this Spray system is fully portable and bit less noisy, however I had made an plywood enclosure and reduce the noise. I dont have a way to measure the noise levels but certainly is lower than my old compressor.
I purchase this Spray system on Rockler and did Bring to Guadalajara, Mex on the plane, which by the way it survive the trip on it's own packing.
The performance it's very good, the compression is the adequate and it spray the finish very uniform, it has spray regulation, I wish I would have bought this sprayer years ago! This really stepped up my game, it's an EXCELENT product for the price, as far as I know, it's the lowest price on market for HVLP.

# Yes!: 50 Scientifically Proven Ways to Be Persuasive # UNABRIDGED # by Noah J. Goldstein , Steve J. Martin , Robert B. Cialdini # Narrated by Blair Hardman Small changes can make a big difference in your powers of persuasion. Every day we face the challenge of persuading others to do what we want. But what makes people say yes to our requests? Persuasion is not only an art, it is also a science, and researchers who study it have uncovered a series of hidden rules for moving people in your direction. Based on more than 60 years of research into the psychology of persuasion, Yes! reveals 50 simple but remarkably effective strategies that will make you much more persuasive at work and in your personal life, too. Cowritten by the world's most quoted expert on influence, Professor Robert Cialdini, Yes! presents dozens of surprising discoveries from the science of persuasion in short, enjoyable, and insightful chapters that you can apply immediately to become a more effective persuader. Why did a sign pointing out the problem of vandalism in the Petrified Forest National Park actually increase the theft of pieces of petrified wood? Why did sales of jam multiply tenfold when consumers were offered many fewer flavors? Why did people prefer a Mercedes immediately after giving reasons why they prefer a BMW? What simple message on cards left in hotel rooms greatly increased the number of people who behaved in environmentally friendly ways? Often counterintuitive, the findings presented in Yes! will steer you away from common pitfalls while empowering you with little known but proven wisdom. Whether you are in advertising, marketing, management, on sales, or just curious about how to be more influential in everyday life, Yes! shows how making small, scientifically proven changes to your approach can have a dramatic effect on your persuasive powers.
good book
Thank you!
Thanks snuk11! Been looking for this for a while now.

Here at WebTvHub, we've seen our fair share of shameful sport fights, but this has to be the funniest one yet. Don't get me wrong, there isn't anything humorous about a fight during a school basketball game…
Unless, of course, it's between a fuzzy jaguar and a giant eagle.
The fight was started by Jawz the Jaguar who didn't like one of Eli the Eagle's dance moves. As one fan says, "The Eagle is not to blame, it was self defense completely." The fight lasted for a little over 30 seconds before the male cheerleaders figured out it wasn't an act and broke it up.
The Jaguar may have had the upper hand in this brawl, but the Eagles won the actual game. Shame on you Jawz! Eagles are an endangered species!

Most Efficient Underwater Stroke (self.Swimming)

If you dolphin kick while looking down, then only the final half of the down-kick and the first half of the up-kick will be in the deeper, more dense water. So in some sense it depends on which phase you're able to apply the most force during your kick. But the difference in water density over the width of your kick isn't going to be very big, and if you really want to say anything meaningful about water density, you've got to take your depth below the surface into account. I think that it ultimately just comes down to what makes you most comfortable and puts you in a position that makes you feel efficient.
[–]ceramicfiver 0 points1 point2 points 8 months ago
Kicking provides propulsion due to applying force to the water which makes you go the opposite direction. The water also pushes back against your kick. Higher density water will push back with more force than lower density water. Think of it as jumping off of a cement side-walk (higher density water) versus jumping off of a foam block (lower density water). You will get higher jumping from the cement side-walk.
As you kick down (on your stomach), the force your kick generates pushes against the water, which compresses in front of the foot's path. As the deeper waters have higher pressure, the entirety of the down-kick is pushing against the force the higher pressure water is pushing back on your foot.
As you kick up (on your stomach), the shallow water will push back on your feet with less force than the deeper water. Even though the up-kick starts at the deeper zone, it is still pushing up against lower densities.
Optimal underwater kicking should be done roughly 4-5 feet beneath the surface, so sufficient water pressure can propel the swimmer. Of course, in respect to those optimal depths, an optimal pool depth of 8+ feet is nice. Unfortunately this is rare, so one must make do.
Although comfort is a contributing factor, it's important to remember that even though a new and better method may feel uncomfortable at first it's likely uncomfortable because it's a new and different experience. This is analogous to life too, as many new habits may feel weird at first because you're so used to doing the old habits but it may be better to push your comfort zone and test the waters.
[–]thelonio 0 points1 point2 points 8 months ago
When you start kicking up from the bottom of the kick, you press up against water with the same density as the water that you were pressing down against. That's because water pressure depends only on depth. If the upward force from the water just below you were actually able to press harder on you than the water just above you, then you would have a net force pushing you up, even if you were neutrally buoyant. That's not the case, otherwise buoyant things would float upward until they reached the surface.
When you're foot is at the bottom of your kick, a slight motion downward would give you the same push as a slight motion upward, since water density depends only on the depth from the surface (ignoring temp.).
You're right, you do get a bigger force when pressing against deeper, more dense water, I just wonder whether the pressure difference across the width of a dolphin kick is really large enough to worry about.
I just wonder whether the pressure difference across the width of a dolphin kick is really large enough to worry about.
I'm not sure what you mean by that.
Water density doesn't change much over one meter or whatever the max displacement your kick reaches. The water density is practically the same on the surface as it is at the bottom of the pool.

The Thai cuisine at Cha Ya Asian Bistro is accented by creative sushi rolls. Playful flourishes characterize the bistro's dining room, from retro sci-fi hanging lamps to mod chairs that encircle the bar and tables along the curved wall of windows. The colors, both in the décor and sushi, compliment the culinary traditions of Thailand, which emphasizes spices in a range of brilliant reds, greens, and yellows. Patrons settle down near a sun-drenched yellow wall, sampling those flavors in curries, bowls of lemongrass seafood or chicken, and crispy duck. The sushi chefs show off their artistic inclinations in rolls packed with or broiled salmon or other maki folded into the shape of a heart like a poet's tax returns.
The chefs at Lemongrass fill two different Annapolis eateries with visions of modern Thai cuisine. To do so, they keep an array of spices at their fingertips—dried red peppers, curry powder, kaffir-lime and basil leaves, ginger, and blades of that eponymous lemongrass. Pinches and spoonfuls of such seasonings lend nuanced flavors to a long list of dishes, including pad thai, sautéed mussels, panang curry, and pepper beef. Cocktails and desserts such as sticky rice with mango top off each meal with a tasteful style that recalls Abe Lincoln's signature cake hat.
As the most populous city in the world, Shanghai has been shaped by travelers and settlers from all over. This is particularly evident in the city's food, which has been influenced by the culinary styles from both the northern and southern regions of China, as well as dishes from throughout the entire continent of Asia. This cultural integration holds true at Shanghai Café, where the chefs use recipes the Hu family has spent the past half-century perfecting. These recipes follow various Shanghai cooking principles—for instance, the original flavors of meats and fish are allowed to shine through rather than being drowned out by heavy marinades or sauces that are too sweet or salty.
Though the recipes are traditional, they respect modern, healthful eating habits by incorporating natural broths and stocks and limiting the use of oil. Some of the restaurant's signature dishes include boiled dumplings, steamed pork buns, and dim sum—a Shanghai staple. In the spirit of Shanghai's pan-Asian tendencies, the menus also include Thai dishes, such as pad kee mao (drunken noodles), nigiri, sashimi, and maki.
When Thailand native Penelope Chungsakoon and her husband, Bangkok native Tom Chungsakoon, opened Thai Yum Restaurant in 2010, the Baltimore Sun declared it the city's "best Thai restaurant." It's a testament to the ardent work ethic of Penelope and Tom, who flavor each beautifully plated dish with spices hand-ground in their open kitchen.
Besides staples such as massamun curry, the duo crafts Thai specialties such as duck breasts coated in curry-roasted peanut sauce and frog legs sautéed in garlic and chili paste. Feasts unfold inside a dining room of shiny hardwood flooring and white brick walls decorated with traditional artwork depicting animals such as dragons and elephants.
Though Chopstixx Café specializes in authentic Chinese street fare, its menu also charts out an edible map of Thailand, Japan, and Mongolia crisscrossed with sweet tributaries of bubble tea. An array of soups, salads, and appetizers, such as the steamed or pan-fried gyoza dumplings ($3.25) starts your meal off with the culinary equivalent of an exciting parkour chase through Tokyo before diving into the main plot with a plate of honey-sesame shrimp ($9.99), Malaysian kway teow ($9.99), or chicken yaki udon ($9.99), a Japanese-style noodle dish. Herbivores, meanwhile, can skip the hassle of assembling a salad out of parsley garnishes and bitter tears with the café's bevy of vegetarian vittles, such as General Tso's crispy tofu ($7.99).

The NYT's Sarah Lyall interviews Deadspin's Tim Burke, who uses animated GIF clips to excellent effect in posts.
Burke, 35, is known among sports journalists for his ability to capture the moment — whether as a still, a video clip or in his favored format, a GIF — better, faster, more frequently and from more sports events than just about anyone. How he does it is a matter of wonder.
Part of the secret: he's set up a 10-monitor home-office newsroom that can record from 28 sources simultaneously. Sources such as this.

Here I present you with a splendid actual GIF from DVDP; put on the "apocalyptic rave" music that the BBC plays in the background of news broadcasts to make you anxious, then stare at it until 2013.
Toronto mayor Rob Ford is a dick. He rips out bike lanes. Violates municipal conflict of interest rules by participating in votes to censure him for unethical fundraising. Closed a library and threatened others Skips council meetings to coach high school football (to which he diverts city resources), then hijacks a city bus to drive his team around. Calls the cops in a panic when journalists come to his house to ask him questions, and boycotts the most-read paper in the country because of their investigative reporting on him, and freaks out they sent out a reporter to check on reports that he was thinking of annexing some public land near his home.
He's ill-spoken, absurd, and hateful. In short, he is a laughable bumblefuck.

Under the new healthcare law, consumers must repay a portion of the subsidy if they misreport their income or if it jumps over a certain threshold during the year.
The House bill, which passed 314-112, reinstates the "cliff" — 400 percent of the federal poverty level — at which consumers would have to repay the entire subsidy. The threshold was eliminated late last year when Congress altered the subsidy recapture formula to pay for a $19 billion, one-year patch staving off Medicare reimbursement cuts to doctors.
Democrats, including the Obama administration, are portraying the House pay-for as a tax hike. Republicans argue Democrats are being hypocritical for opposing a provision included in the original healthcare reform law enacted 11 months ago.
"[The bill] would result in tax increases on certain middle-class families that incur unexpected tax liabilities, in many cases totaling thousands of dollars, notwithstanding that they followed the rules," the administration said this week in a statement strongly opposing the Republican pay-for.
House Ways and Means Chairman Dave Camp (R-Mich.) had a different view.
"Paying back money you weren't entitled to is not a tax increase," he said Thursday.
Seventy-six House Democrats, including a significant number of vulnerable members, joined all of their Republican colleagues in approving the 1099 repeal on Thursday. But Democratic House leadership continued to express their opposition to the bill.
"I hope both sides can reach an agreement and identify an offset that will make it through both chambers and be signed into law by the President, so that we can ease the burden on small businesses by repealing the 1099 provision in the near future," Minority Whip Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) said in a statement after the vote.
Further, Senate Democrats are unlikely to embrace the GOP's strategy for funding repeal. With 81 votes, the Senate passed its own 1099 repeal measure that would authorize the Office of Management and Budget to identify unobligated federal funds to pay for 1099 repeal. The administration also expressed serious concern about the Senate bill.
The Senate bill, "in combination with other proposals currently under consideration in Congress, could cause serious disruption in a wide range of services provided by the Federal government," the administration said this week.
The administration and Democrats have been eager to offer 1099 repeal as a signal of their willingness to work on improving healthcare reform. Obama, in his January State of the Union address, specifically singled out elimination of the 1099 provision.
"Instead of re-fighting the battles of the last two years, let's fix what needs fixing and let's move forward," Obama told Congress.
Besides 1099, the administration had not proposed significant changes until earlier this week, when it supported a plan that would encourage states to develop their own healthcare reforms three years earlier than the law currently allows. However, House Republicans are not supporting the plan, originally proposed by a bipartisan duo of senators, Scott Brown (R-Mass.) and Ron Wyden (D-Ore.).
House Republicans on Thursday cast the 1099 provision as a major burden on small business and asked the Senate and White House to quickly back their repeal effort. Failure to enact repeal — something everyone agrees with in basic principle — sets a bad precedent, they said.
"If we can't get done, this would be the true definition of dysfunctional government,"said Rep. Dan Lungren (R-Calif.), who sponsored the House bill.

The Google Phone: Coming Soon

Even as Verizon's Droid phones hit the US market, buzz is building, yet again, about a Google-branded phone. Originally, the plan was to have the Google phone on the market by the holidays, but that timeframe has been pushed back to early 2010, and will be available directly from Google as well as from retailers. As for manufacturing, the latest rumor is that LG or Samsung will be building the handset, which will be to Google's specifications, and not to those of a specific mobile service provider.
Most of our sources have unconfirmed information, which we describe below. But there are a few things we have absolutely confirmed: Google is building their own branded phone that they'll sell directly and through retailers. They were long planning to have the phone be available by the holidays, but it has now slipped to early 2010.
