You said your friend gave you access to the 3d printer. Did he tell you how much it would have cost if you weren't acquainted? I've always been curious to how much it would cost to get a helmet 3d printed, I always got the "too much" answer.
You said your friend gave you access to the 3d printer. Did he tell you how much it would have cost if you weren't acquainted? I've always been curious to how much it would cost to get a helmet 3d printed, I always got the "too much" answer.
Not quite sure what you're referring to...
'Too much' is generally the truth. I checked the helmet base (the gold part) recently on Shapeways for S&G, and it came in over $550 I think. Full blown 3D printing companies would charge probably at least twice that, maybe as much as 5 times.
I think he is asking if your going to use the Discovery gauntlets to control your helmet.
Well, that's one concept. In that scenario the glove has contact points (8 total, 2 per finger) that the thumb makes contact with to register a button press.
I'm entertaining other ideas, because, A) it's not the most natural of things to do and repeat presses could cramp my hands and, B) it's not very future-proof if I decide to use a different (faster/easier/etc) menu system than I currently have.
Even if the Gauntlet doesnt function with the LEDs, i think they would be neccesary to have for the full-out discovery outfit. I sure want one. If you ever decide to sell them (gauntlets)
Man that is cool. I would kill for a helmet like this.
When is your stuff getting in?
What all is it?
So did you get your parts? Have you used any of it?!
Incredible !!! Can't wait for more.
Simply incredible work thus far. You are going to be the envy of every DP fan in the world
^^ you mean "around the world" right? lol
You got the parts a couple of weeks ago, have you used them?
Well, as you can probably tell, work has been trying to kill me (again).
I did get the 3D printed parts in. I've been waiting on some parts to make the lightbars reflective and diffuse. I say waiting, but I only just ordered them last week. Did I mention work is trying to kill me?
I've got some reflective foil tape that arrived, I'll see how that works. I was hoping for something based on aluminized mylar, but this stuff looks to be straight aluminum. This stuff is sticky back, and I was hoping that would speed the install process. Depending on the reflectivity, I may fall back on using straight aluminized mylar that I know I can buy, it just won't be sticky back and will be a bit of a pain to work with.
The diffuser is some material I ordered from Inventables. I've known of the site for a while, just haven't bothered to try anything from the site. Hopefully this proper diffusing plastic will be brighter and more even than my Depron material I've used so far.
I've also got some other stuff to show off as soon as I can get my DSLR fired up and take some halfway decent pictures of the parts. Sorry, but I'm keeping them a surprise until the pictures are done properly.
What is the Reflective Foil/aluminum used for?
I cant wait for the 'suprises'!

So... Hows it goin?
Ugh, Not well.
FYI, avoid start-up companies if you have 'intensive' hobbies, ie electronics and prop replica stuff.
I've done basically nothing but work, eat, sleep, and run since May, perhaps even April(if I wasn't running I'd probably have had a heart attack by now). But as I understand things right now, it should all clear out in the next few weeks (deadlines and what not).
The arduino Due is finally here, but I have yet to see it in stock at Sparkfun, Adafruit, or a couple of the other distributes I frequent. Will probably put one on order once I get back from this current business trip.
I'm sure it's incredibly painful to follow my work. It's just as painful for me since I love this project so much. Not working on it and not making progress is constant reminder of how little energy and time I've had in recent history.
I am very loathe to give up on it. So it's just going to take a while to get there.
Sorry to hear, just dont stress about it.
I did manage to spend a grand total of 30 minutes on the project last week. I decided that the aluminum backing/ducting tape is pretty poor reflector. It just isn't supper polished has a poor reflection as a result.
I've put some mylar on order. It will be harder to install (with no tape backing) but is probably the best reflector option available (vs chrome it might even be as good/better).
I do (very hopefully) get Friday off because the boss had us working Veterans Day (big no-no for a company like ours). Here's hoping nothing comes up and the mylar makes it in time for the weekend.
Man, That seems to be some serious work!
Can't wait to see this in action.
You can get chrome vinyl which would be perfect . It's what I'm hoping to wrap my helmets in rather than spray or dipping
Your not chroming it?
Is that because it is 3d printed? :/

WCR Letters to the EditorSpeak up now for the unbornIn Canada, section 233 of the Criminal Code informs us that the unborn child is not a human being. Hopefully most Canadians acknowledge in some way that human life begins at conception. Quite simply put, it we were aborted, we would not be here. Each year in Canada, 100,000 Canadian children are killed in their mother's womb because they are unwanted. Section 233 of the Criminal Code is a lie with very few people willing to stand up for the truth that human life begins at conception. Recently Canada held a federal election where a new Conservative government was given a minority victory. One point of this government's platform was, should a private member's bill be introduced to Parliament and passed concerning moral issues, the government would allow a standing free vote on the issue. This would allow all parties to vote. Should a majority vote favouring the bill occur, action will take place to legalize it. As Canadian citizens, we have a golden opportunity to pressure our MPs to introduce a private members bill to stop abortion. How? Two steps are required. First, write your MPs a letter acknowledging your support of them in the last election and demand that a private member's bill be introduced by your MP to stop abortion. Offer your assistance to them and leave your address and phone number. Second, phone your MP and arrange a personal interview concerning stopping abortion. Also, inform all people opposing abortion to do the same. We must act quickly. Don't wait. Do it today. Time is of the essence. The letters are important to be held as evidence by your MP to Parliament that this is what their constituents want. The interview is to give the MP moral and political support, knowing that he will have your help in publicly disclosing in Parliament the seriousness of abortion. This will open the conscience of many Canadians to abortion and its father, contraception, and by God's grace, end in conversion while stopping abortion in Canada. Jesus will multiply our letters and interviews as he did the fish and loaves. Our faith of a mustard seed nurtured by prayer and action will destroy the mountain of abortion. Again, the time to act is now before Parliament gets bogged down with many other issues. Unless abortion is stopped, the family will continue to destruct. For Catholics who are pro-choice, you must look at the consequences of abortion. Abortion not only kills babies but causes mental and physical damage to those involved. Let's love these people and fight for life and the healing they deserve by abolishing abortion. There are methods to space births such as the Billings method which is non-contraceptive and sanctioned by the Church. Finally, millions of babies have been destroyed by abortion with millions more to be destroyed in Canada unless we act. Without children, there is no family or future for Canada. Remember, what we do to the most defenceless humans, we do to God. In judgment, we will be held accountable for our actions or lack of actions to promote life. Let's love Jesus and each other, write our MPs and arrange an interview for life. Richard Jiry

Active FX, Rhinoplasty with Fat Transfer Combined Procedures Safe?
- Asked by beaker in chicago
- 3 years ago
I am scheduled to have Active FX for acne scarring, Rhinoplasty and Fat transfer for under eye circles and all over to help scarring.
I am really worried about recovering from all of this at once. I had CO2 laser back when it was horribly invasive and I swore I would never do anything like that again. Am I going to hate myself?
Is the Active FX + Deep FX recovery REALLY that different than the old CO2 laser? And, am I crazy to do this all at once? I have about a month off. I'm female, 33.
Ablative Fractional laser with rhinoplasty
I can definitely sense your trepidation in scheduling so many procedures all at once. If you are planning on having laser resurfacing to your nose at the same time as your rhinoplasty, I might delay the rhinoplasty. If the laser resurfacing can be performed on other parts of your face, then the procedures that you are scheduled to undergo, including the facial fat grafting, are not terribly difficult to recover from. The recovery from full face CO2 laser facial resurfacing would be significantly worse than fractional ablative laser resurfacing.
Combining Active FX with rhinoplasty and fat transfer
The ActiveFX can be done under a local anesthesia in the clinic. It is not a surgical procedure. The ActiveFX should not be done on the nose if you are having a rhinoplasty. The fat transfer to the face can be done at the same time as a rhinoplasty if so desired. There would be approximately 10 to 14 days worth of bruising and swelling and you will need approximately two weeks off from work.
Web reference: http://www.seattlefacial.com
Multiple surgery and safety
The Active Fx is truly a "fraction" of the healing of the old C02 laser ( which was very effective but resulted in admittedly a brutal recovery. ) This combination of procedures is reasonable and should be generally safe. As you know all surgery carries risk and you should discuss the details with your srugeon.
Recent Active FX Reviews
ActiveFx or DeepFx, Rhinoplasty, Fat Grafting can be combined
I certainly think that these three procedures can safely be performed in one session. The emphasis is on CAN because they certainly can also be staged.
Once something is considered safe by your surgeon, an important consideration is your personal comfort with the procedure combination. Do not take on more than you feel good about!
And yes, fractionated CO2 treatments routinely come with an easier recovery than full force ablative CO2.

This stylish lab coat from Cherokee features a notched lapel, two patch pockets, chest pocket, side vents and button back-belt detail for shape. The fabric is a polyester and cotton twill. The length is 32".
It washes well and lasts a long time. My only complaint is the cost of shipping. I thought it was too high.
item arrived before estimated arrival date.
Perfect fit and the style - the size chart is right on target for this product. Materials feel of good quality.
At 5'5"" fit is difficult...30 vs. 32 "" length. I am also considering the 30"" coat for length to compare.The qualaty of the coat and fabric ( have not evaluated after machine wash).. has been great! Coat fits nicely, and has held up to desk wear ( sleeves) and stains.Embroidery is nice and tight.So far, would recommend.

She dosn't even know how to surf the web. LOL It's funny that so many of us have wifes in the medical field, daniel, alan, david, stewart myself just to mention a few. BTW has anyone heard from daniel? |

Geron has earned his way into the starting lineup as AT has earned himself a seat on the bench.
But, for the next couple of months it really won't matter as we knock off a few more patsys before heading into the MEAT of our schedule, CUPCAKE CONFERENCE AMERICA.
My guess is that AT will come out blazing when Tulane and Marshall come to town.
We won't know how really good we are until March, and maybe not even then if we stub our toe a few times and wind up in the NIT.
What I learned watching the Louisville game was that we truly have the talent to compete with any team in the nation. But, championship quality teams need to be sharpened much like a knife. Too bad our whetstone is that warm butter known as C-USA.
It took the fear of being embarrassed by Louisville on our home court to humble most of our men ( this is what they are) into playing championship quality basketball. Forget about winning against a Top 20 school. JP has yet to prepare us for the all decisive month of March.
So Louisville taught us we have the horses to compete in the world of big time basketball. We will now become a mystery for the next couple of months no matter what Lakeland Tiger or Kingfish say, and that will be the usual empty chest beating, JP affirming, puffery.
Who in the hell is Lipscomb anyway?
We will be fine come tournament time. Sometimes I think this whole idea about SOS is overrated. I think it matters if you NEVER play any tough teams. It matters in say football if you come from a weak conference or division and not a single team you play all season is any good. A lot of good teams in basketball and football have been filling their schedule with easy wins for years.
In some ways it is about the regular season sharpening you for the post-season, but in other ways it's about overcoming adversity. Even if you have a supposedly tough schedule, if you start off the season hotter than everyone else, and cruise to a couple wins against so-called good teams, the Grizzlies first 16 games for example, you might struggle in tough games later on. I think even in losses, the games against VCU, Minnesota, and Louisville will help us in the long run. And I think it's a completely overblown misconception that we have no real opponents in C-USA. Conference play can potentially be tough for EVERYONE, and we do have a couple teams in the conference making some serious progress. USM and UCF had some potential to be really good last season. And despite what people want to say, a lot of these other conferences don't have more than 2 or 3 real contenders either. It also comes down to when you play these games. I've said for years we need to stop scheduling our tough games in bunches at the beginning of the season. We need to spread them out a little more.
We were a lower seed in one tournament game, and we just caught a bad match-up in another. We're preparing for march the same way almost every other team does. We been to the tournament a Magnificent 2 times. People act like we've lost 4 years in a row or something. Fear of being embarrassed? I don't recall anyone saying that. Who isn't going to play their best ball of the season against the no.6 team? We've been playing a little bit better every game even since the UNI game.

September 1, 2004 | 2004 West Nile Virus Web site |
DUPAGE COUNTY MAN STATE'S 16th WEST NILE HUMAN CASE SPRINGFIELD, Ill. A 58-year-old DuPage County man has been confirmed as the 16th human case of West Nile disease in Illinois this year, Dr. Eric E. Whitaker, state public health director, today announced. Dr. Whitaker said the man, who is the second person from DuPage County to be diagnosed with West Nile virus infection, became ill in mid-August and is hospitalized with West Nile encephalitis. The state's other human cases of West Nile have been from the city of Chicago and Boone, Clinton, Cook, Ford, Jackson, Jo Daviess, Kendall, LaSalle, Rock Island, Sangamon, St. Clair (2) and Will counties. In addition to the human cases, a total of 178 birds, 766 mosquito pools, two horses and one alpaca have been identified this year with West Nile virus. Dr. Whitaker urged people to continue to take simple, common sense precautions to avoid mosquito bites and protect themselves from West Nile disease. These precautions include:
WNV is transmitted through the bite of a mosquito that has picked up the virus by feeding on an infected bird. Most people with the virus have no clinical symptoms of illness, but some may become ill three to 14 days after the bite of an infected mosquito. Only about two persons out of 10 who are bitten by an infected mosquito will experience any illness. Illness from West Nile is usually mild and includes fever, headache and body aches, but serious illness, such as encephalitis and meningitis, and death are possible. Persons over 50 years of age have the highest risk of severe disease. In 2003, Illinois recorded 54 West Nile disease human cases, including one death, and in 2002, the state led the nation with 884 cases and 66 deaths. Additional information about West Nile virus can be found on the Department's Web site at www.idph.state.il.us/envhealth/wnv.htm or people can call the Department's West Nile virus hotline (866-369-9710) Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. |

The 2009 Knox Mountain Hill climb was great this year. I love it more and more every year, and this year was no exception. I spent most of the day taking video that will be on youtube shortly but there are some pictures in the garage if you can't wait.
There is a small car show but the racing is the main event. It is the longest paved hill climb course in North America and the race has been going on for over 50 years!!

More than a year after New Jersey imposed the toughest assault-weapons law in the country, the law is proving difficult if not impossible to enforce.
Only four military-style weapons have been turned in to the State Police and another 14 were confiscated. The state knows the whereabouts of fewer than 2,000 other guns, even after owners were given a year's grace to register their arms as legal sporting weapons or have them certified as inoperable -- and despite the fact that it is now a felony to possess unregistered weapons.
Everyone agrees that these numbers represent a mere drop in the bucket, but there is little agreement on how big the bucket is. The State Police estimated that there were between 100,000 and 300,000 privately owned weapons in New Jersey when the ban was passed in May 1990. No Crackdown Planned
Attorney General Robert J. Del Tufo said in an interview that there were no plans for a crackdown to gather up the remaining assault weapons covered by the law, which are generally defined as high-powered, military-style, rapid-fire semiautomatic firearms with a large magazine capacity. They include such weapons as the AK-47 and the Uzi semiautomatic.

Use the Visiting us section to find out more about the different campuses.
Information for parents
We know that parents take an active role in helping their sons and daughters choose a place of study, and at Exeter we aim to provide the information parents need to assure them that they will be well supported if they choose to study here.
A few useful tips
We have produced a few useful tips specifically for you to consider when supporting your son or daughter in choosing a university, making an application and preparing for higher education. We hope you find these helpful.
Preparing to apply
- Be positive and supportive but listen to any concerns your son/daughter may have.
- Attend Parents' Evenings organised in schools and colleges. These often have representatives from HE, who will be happy to answer general questions.
- Visit the Parents' page of the UCAS website
- Encourage your son/daughter to make use of the most relevant information. The following website may be useful:
- Parents and students alike often want to look at University League Tables. The main League Tables are compiled by the Times, Sunday Times and the Guardian newspapers- information can be found on their web sites. Be careful to look at subject ratings as well as overall performance. You might also find it useful to look at the National Student Survey, through which all final year students report what they felt about their overall teaching and learning experience – see Unistats website
- Your son/daughter will be able to visit universities on their Open Days - but if you're not able to attend a scheduled Open Day you can often arrange to visit for a general 'campus tour' on an alternative day.
- Encourage your son or daughter to consider all aspects of life at university, not just the subject being studied. For example, they will want to think about location, accommodation, sporting and social life, as well as support services. It may help to read about the support services available through AccessAbility and Wellbeing Services.
- Talk through with your son/daughter any questions they may need to ask – but encourage them to ask these questions themselves rather than you doing it on their behalf!
- Remember it's their choice, and no matter how much parents want to influence, students have to choose what's right for them.
Finance issues and managing on a budget
- Find out about finance available on the Gov.UK student finance website
- Make sure your son/daughter applies for finance once they've applied to university to make sure it's ready at the start of term.
- Encourage your son/daughter to open a bank account which will be suitable for the deposit of any grant or loan.
- Help your son/daughter to budget by working out how much a week they will have to live on, and what they think they might need to spend.
- Discourage use of credit and store cards.
- Make sure we are made aware of any disability or specific learning difficulty such as dyslexia early on, to make sure they get the support available
- For further information, see our pages on Money Matters.
Basic survival skills
- Ensure your son/daughter is confident using public transport and knows what to do and who to contact in an emergency away from home.
- If they won't be living in catered halls, make sure they can cook a variety of basic meals on a budget.
- Make sure they know how to work the washing machine – they are going to have to survive without the 'laundry fairy'!
Keeping in touch
- If you are worried that they won't phone home as often as you would like, get used to emailing and sending text messages.
- Many students feel homesick when they first arrive and it will take a little time for them to settle in properly. It might be tempting to get them to come home for a weekend if they feel unsettled, but give it a few weeks first. Reassure them that everyone feels the same.

State Constitutions Unveiled
The Tennessee State Library and Archives staff moved all three versions of the original handwritten state constitution to the Supreme Court building today as part of the 75th anniversary celebration of the court building. Public viewing – the first time the three documents will be presented together – begins tomorrow at 10 a.m. Also on display will be a diorama of a judge's chambers as it would have been when the building opened in 1937, a display of artifacts and documents from the Scopes Monkey Trial, and a display of court records from the early part of Tennessee's judicial history. After a week, the documents will return to the State Library and be replaced with digital facsimiles at the Supreme Court. Get details here

Question by Mama J 1510 · Aug 03 '10 at 05:55 AM · soy evangelism
I have avoided soy for the last 5 years. I have no doubt that my veganism and heavy soy consumption directly correlate to my development of several endocrine disorders (including hypothyroidism). So, understandably, I don't feed my family (including my two small boys) soy products, and it is easy for me to believe most negative press that I read about soy. Phytoestrogens: gah!!!
Here is my problem: my dear grandmother, who is 85 and coming for an extended visit, is totally hooked on super-sweet soymilk. It is the one thing that she consumes in quantity every day. So, it turns out, is her very health-conscious son (my uncle) who is also visiting. And the best part? Both of them are also hypothyroid. I went to the store to buy her a box of her "milk", to make her feel at home. I couldn't do it. I ended up buying some "So Delicious Coconut Milk"; still nothing I would drink or feed my family, but it seemed less evil.
So here is my question: What information/links can I provide to my family (mainly my uncle, who is a pro-athlete, carb loving, anti-fat machine) to educate them on the evils of soy? I truly didn't take much convincing, so this is one paleo battle that I don't really have arsenal for.

Yeah, I'd say coconut milk is a healthy drink as long as it isn't sweetened. Blend in some berries for even more yummy taste.
If your relatives say soy is healthy, remind them that the Chinese only consumed heavily fermented soy. That's because raw soy is poisonous. The plant was originally only used to help rehab the crop lands via nitrogen fixing inbetween other good crops. It was only after the CHinese figured out how to ferment it that they considered it safe enough to eat. Soy is full of phytic acid,one of the highest concentrations of any grain, which is an antinutrient. Consumption of soy has been correlated with low sperm counts in men. Soybeans also contain potent enzyme inhibitors. These inhibitors block uptake of trypsin and other enzymes that the body needs for protein digestion. Cooking does not get rid of them. Soybeans also contain hemagglutinin, a clot promoting substance that causes red blood cells to clump together and prevent them from performing their functions. Also, experts have found that children who develop Type 1 diabetes are twice as likely to have been fed soy formulas as those fed all other foods. Ninety nine percent of all crop soy plants are genetically modified and are one of the most heavily pesticide treated crop plants
Processing into soy protein isolate ameliorates some of these problems but not all. PLus the processing methods leach aluminum into the final product and the high heat denatures much of the proteins, thereby making them unusable to the human body. And the spray drying process creates a large percentage of nitrites which are believed to be carcinogens.
Most important for people with thyroid problems, soy contains goitrogens which depress thyroid function!!
Remember that most of the hype surrounding the benefits of soy came from the soy industry themselves in order to sell their product. Soy is a cheap filler with minimal taste, just the kind of thing that big business likes to add to food products. But they don't really care about your health. -Eva
Answer by Cheryl - Diabetes Bootcamp 1731 · Aug 03 '10 at 06:26 AM
My question to you is this - why do you want to change them? Have they asked you why you don't eat soy? do they WANT to change their dietary lifestyle?
I read that you mean well and want the best for them. Imagine that your uncle and grandmother show up at your house with an arsenal of "information" to help you understand that the consumption of meat is terrible. What would you do? How would you feel?
The internet is full of plenty of information about soy. If you want to be ready for a conversation, just use the information given you before you gave up soy. If what you got wasn't enough, try this http://www.westonaprice.org/soy-alert.html.
Then, go get the soy milk, and get other foods that you do eat. Prepare tasty, colorful and paleo meals for them if you wish. And if they don't like it, have other items available for them. They're coming to visit to see you - not to eat food they don't like or get a lecture.
Be the example, and be open for their questions, welcome their visit, enjoy their company, hope for an opening to talk about your dietary perspective. Just be careful not to judge their choices. They made them in a spirit of information, same as you, whether you were vegetarian or paleo.
I could have clarified, I suppose. My uncle and I have always had lengthy discussions about health, and for many years we were on the same page. Honestly, with two very small kids and a full plate, I would be happy to not have my choices challenged, but they will be. My dad seems pretty impressed at the changes going paleo has inspired in me and my family here, and I am positive that he has been talking with his brother about it.
My plan is to cook paleo dishes I think they'll love. I will just be surprised if I don't get questioned.Answer by Jay 1 1243 · Aug 03 '10 at 04:26 PM

In fact this guy has a whole Paleo Series that is super accessible. He's a great writer and I have personally used his writing to explain everything to loads of people.
Answer by Andrea 5 874 · Mar 22 '12 at 08:46 PM
I've been avoiding soy for awhile now because of my Hashimoto's/Hypothyroid and the fact that I'm fat, which means I have plenty of stored estrogen (it was the first thing I cut) but if I ever wavered, what surely would have brought me back was watching Food, Inc. and seeing how Monsanto is putting farmers and seed cleaners out of business if they won't buy their Round-Up resistant GM soybean seeds. Virtually any soy product in the US is from Monsanto GM soybean seeds.
On that note, I'm glad I cut dairy, too, because I was hooked on Organic Valley and I recently read that Whole Foods, Organic Valley and another well known organic brand I can't remember are caving to Monsanto, saying we have to learn to live with genetically modified food. Uh, no thanks.

I love TJ so it's painful to read this- but thanks for forcing us to look clearly at our stores and force them to be accountable.
Actually, the Philistines were not what is today. The Palestinians today, Palestinians are Arabs who moved in later. The Philistines were more closely related to what used to be the Lebanese, which were the Phoenicians, the to be the Lebanese, which were the Phoenicians, the ancient Phoenician Empire of traders, and they were actually more closely related to Hiram, King of Tyre, and some of them, although Hiram was more of a friend of Israel at that time, the time of David.
So the Philistines and their five famous cities used to occupy the coastal plain of Israel. Gaza was one of the major cities--the Arabs still live there-- of course Israel has now incorporated the Gaza Strip into Israel. It's now a part of the occupied territories, and they've just stolen away the whole country! It was called Palestine by the Romans, in Latin, & came from "Philistia," which was the name of the country way back under the Philistines. It was the name of the country for thousands of years till the Jews came along.

I know Bohemians. I grew up in a Bohemian neighborhood and I hung out with many real Bohemians. You sir, are not a Bohemian :)
The checkpoints were established by a treaty- Oslo- and are in compliance with International law. (A treaty is the highest level of international law, until it is superceeded by another treaty) Before the checkpoints, over 10,000 Israelis were maimed and killed in an outbreak of violence known as the second intifada. Before the onset of suicide bombings directed towards Israeli civilians, the borders were wide open. Want them open again? Encourage the Palestinians to sit down and negotate with the Israelis, with no pre-conditions. As inconvienent as the checkpoints are, attacks against Israelis have decreased by over 90% since they were instituted. They are a non-violent way to save lives until there is a real and lasting peace. It is an extremely hard thing to balance- protecting the lives and security of one group of people and the freedom of another. The answer is peace- and peace will not come with finger pointing and pressure on one side alone. Both sides must work together to accomplish this goal. That is why I, as a progressive activist stand firmly against this one sided pressure campaign . Peace is a two way street, and the Palestinians (and their Sonoma County enablers) MUST take responsibilities for their side in this equation.
Veolia's busses aren't for "Jews only", however, they are instrumental and complicent in Israel's system of apartheid and segregation. It's system of permits, checkpoints, walls, barriers and transportation of settlers (that is against article 49 of the Fourth Geneva Convention) onto settlements that are considered illegal internationally and within the United States. Veolia obviously does not care about the welfare of a people under a MILITARY occupation who have little rights to exercise and no freedom of movement (one of many "freedoms" not had). It is insulting to hear that many believe signs in three languages is enough to prove that a country is morally competant and does no harm. The fact that there were signs in English and Xhosa did not prove my experience with residents of Khaylitsha Camp, South Africa (2008) to be a joyous and celebrated occation. Veolia runs its busses on roads that cut into the occupied territories and cater to Israeli settlers and certain Arabs who may be lucky enough to attain the proper permit that is made most difficult in order to keep them oppressed (http://www.btselem.org/press_releases/2004…). You, Robin Cantor, can also take a look at a Wall Street Journal article this year that focuses on the resistance of women in Israel who have been forced to the back of the bus (http://online.wsj.com/article/SB1000142405…). Your statement that public transportation is Israel is not segregated...think again. In Veolia's case, however, although they may not directly segregate their own buses, they run their business that is supports a racist, heinous, disgusting, unfathomable system oppressing the native Palestinian population.
It wasn't just that Arabs and Jews rode the buses together- half the engineers employed by Veolia were Palestinians- and half their bus stops were in palestinian areas. I can't imagine anything less segregated. A heavily edited an biased video is meaningless- can you show me a sign that says "Jews only"? I have not seen a single sign like this anywhere on line- if there were one, surely some one would have photographed it by now. If these facilities were Jews only, are you saying all the photos of a fully integrated system al over the web are fake? At the hearing, they showed exactly the opposite of what you claim- a company and a country going out of their way to provide essential transportion to all segments of the society.
There is no segregation on public transportation in Israel, and Veolia is simply be using as a pawn to give you a venue to bash on Israel. I cant believe youd be willing to have 80 neighboors lose their jobs to push your bigoted one sided agenda
If you'd like to see what I saw you can see the video I shot here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2pbEN6lNkZ0… .
To learn more about the segregated roads you can read from Israeli Human Rights group B'Tselem here: http://www.btselem.org/maps
I was at the hearing. Photos were shown of Jews and Muslims crowded together on public transportation. Photos were shown of signs and schedules in English Arabic and Hebrew. Frankly, its hard to pretend that these facilities are segregated when all the evidence indicated that they weren't.
But a small group of vulture funds have been trying to divert that money into their own pocket. How Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney's former firm, Bain Capital, and others have used private equity to raise money to conduct corporate raids. "It's just a scheme to take a cash-rich company and move all that cash to a few actors — typically it's the executives of the target company and the executives in the private equity firm — and then you force everybody else to pay."
Wall Street scandals — including a decade-long Wall Street scandal that drained money from every county and state in the United States — and notes not a single bank executive has faced individual consequences. In Libor, it was 16 banks acting in concert to rig the international interest rates. What this one was was a number of the world's biggest banks colluding to artificially suppress the amount of money that cities and towns earned on their municipal bond service.
The Libor, scandals trillions of dollars, and not a single person has had to have any individual consequence. So you talk about all those settlements. Those are all paid by the company and by the shareholders. Not a single person since 2008 has gone to—has been indicted, has gone to jail, has spent a day in jail, or has paid any kind of money out of his own pocket. And until there's any individual consequence, it's really a license to steal. If you can't go to jail for rigging an $800 trillion market, what can you go to jail for? This is the result of a selfish, greed-driven society. They've hardened their hearts for so long and are so blinded by greed and hypocrisy that they don't even hear the pitiful pleas of these poor suffering ones.

Not telling people it's $25 to register, huh?
Great to see more people using WeGo Sonoma — there's certainly a lot of potential in our community and Avego's system makes ridesharing more flexible than ever before.
Marin and conservative in the same description??
Called Libor, which that stands for London Interbank Offered Rate and it involves a group of bankers who set a daily interest rate affecting trillions of dollars of transactions around the world. Your home mortgage, your college debt, your credit card fees - these could have been affected by Libor.
20 other megabanks are now under investigation, including Citigroup and JPMorgan Chase. Open collusion with other banks to lowball or highball the rates to profit. "The New York Times" reporting, "As unemployment climbed and tax revenue fell the city of Baltimore laid off employees and cut services in the midst of the financial crisis. Its leaders now say the city's troubles were aggravated by bankers' manipulation of this key interest rate linked to hundreds of millions of dollars the city had borrowed."
What you've just seen is a cartel in operation, which -- not maybe -- did distort Libor for the benefits of the largest banks in the cartel. It is the largest rigging of prices in the history of the world, by many orders of magnitude. Libor is one example where we left it to banks to themselves to set important benchmarks. Many in the West are naïve about the real plight of the world. There are many who live a life of ease' unaware of the hurt that ravishes the world on a daily basis through man's bad choices.

The Olympics are the worship of man, the worship of his body. But sports are the worship of man's body; war is the ultimate that all of these lead to. The ultimate manifestation of all of these is War.--His physical prowess, his mechanical ingenuity, his tactical genius and his indomitable spirit! The Olympics are the worship of man, the worship of his body. But sports are the worship of man's body; war is the ultimate that all of these lead to. The ultimate manifestation of all of these is War.--His physical prowess, his mechanical ingenuity, his tactical genius and his indomitable spirit!War is the ultimate combination. Man at his best, which is his worst!--WAR! His most destructive worst, his greatest strength, his greatest genius, his greatest inventive power and his greatest spirit, patriotism or whatever you want to call it, is used for war and a competitive spirit against others who are doing the same.
See how this competitive sports thing has been the final stages of every great civilisation and empire!--The worship of the body. It's very sexual too, as you notice, all these things are very sexy. So sex is included as a part, but in some ways a very minor part.Sports glorifies sex, but at the same time belittles it and pretends to dislike it.
Did you know that the Nicaragua-El Salvador War, in which 20,000 people were killed, started over a football game? In fact, Ernest Hemingway, the world famous writer, who spent so much of his time in Latin America and Spain, said you could eliminate most Latin American wars and their causes by simply banning football or soccer! Those games get them so worked up into a frenzy against each other that nothing but a total all-out war can truly satisfy the spirit of it! The whole thing is a worship of the flesh and the worship of man with a competitive spirit of war, the very essence of contention and competition and struggle: warfare, and the perfect preparation for it! Sports is war in disguise, and the Olympics disguised all this under the totally false and contrary theme song of "Peace"! That's their theme!--Isn't that something. So they speak peace while war is in their hearts, and they talk peace while they prepare for war--prepare their bodies for war!

GSAPP Adaptive Formulations : Exquisite Corpse
This is the final Project for Columbia's GSAPP Adaptive Formulations Session A course. Each student must design a rectangular modules to tile on a free-form surface. This system is designed so that each student's module can be instantiated in random iterations of the module across a reference surface through a script - creating a abstract-architectural equisite corpse.
Design Requirments:
- Your module must be have some degree of tangency to reference surface on at least 2 parallel sides.
- Your module must contain some solid geometry.
- Your Design Table must include 5 stable configurations of your module's parameters
Model Requirments:
Each module must contain Catia Powercopy with ALL the following inputs ONLY:
- 4 edge bounding edge curves on the reference surface
- 1 Reference Surface (provided)
- 1 integer parameter named "config" driving the module's Design Table configuration
- 4 Base points*
* the four base points must be inputs for your module, However design-wise they are not required. Just use them and hide the child geometry if they are not used for your module's design.
Your module is contained inside an Ordered Geometric Set. Your module's parameters and formulas are internal to the powercopy. A design table with 5 stable configurations is also internal to the powercopy and driven by an external integer parameter named "config".
Naming Conventions:
Name your powercopy "Module_PC". The inputs shouls have the following names:
- 4 curves - Spl_1_2, Spl_2_3, Spl_3_4, Spl_4_1
- 4 points - Point_1, Point_2, Point_3, Point_4
- reference surface - ref_srf
- configuration Parameter - config
Submission Requirements:
Submit a pdf graphically diagramming your module's parametric relationships. Explain which parameters drive which geometry. Show your excel design table and with range of each parameter. Images of your module in each design table configuration and in three different instantiations across the wireframe field condition.
- Submit a CATPart file with your module containing the powercopy.
- The Excel Sheet referenced by your Module's Design Table
- Another CATPart file with your module instantiated across the the provided wireframe context file.
Name = First_Last
Module CatPart - "Name"_Module.CATPart
Instantiation of Field Condition - "Name" _Instantiation.CATPart

About Us
As Directors, we welcome any opportunity to engage proactively with local organisations on waste management issues. Since the founding of the company in 1982, we have endeavoured to continually improve access to waste management best practice within the region, and are committed to service. We have embraced the changes in legislation that have directed waste away from landfill and towards more sustainable forms of recycling and disposal. Our investment in facilities has been with the fundamental belief that alternatives to landfill are commendable, and technology can lead the way to the future. Fletcher Metals and Waste Recycling have always been happy to form business relationships with similarly minded and trusted suppliers. The world of waste is intricate, and everyone has their specialist strengths.
We believe our proposals are innovative and we can build a true working partnership between the suppliers and you as clients. Fletchers Metals and Waste Recycling Ltd was founded in 1982 by Richard Fletcher, and has subsequently grown to be a major independent presence in the South Yorkshire and Derbyshire regions. The company adopted a philosophy that landfill was unsustainable and grew by realising that recycling, coupled with a great service, would be the critical factors for waste producers as time progressed.
Today the company is a significant local employer and has consolidated its presence by diversifying into specialist recycling activities such as vehicle de-pollution and wheelie bin collections. This growth is expected to continue, with a variety of additional recycling techniques being considered for its two major licensed operating centres in Sheffield and Chesterfield. Operating to British Standards ISO 9001 and ISO 14001, our services are carried out to a high quality and are environmentally friendly.

We operate under two of the most comprehensive site licenses issued and these allow us to deal in all manner of metal and waste recycling, including hazardous wastes like Asbestos and WEEE. Our comprehensive storage and treatment facilities allow us to manage all types of waste and metals in order to maximise their re-use, recycling and waste to energy capabilities. Our location is ideally suited for collections throughout the Yorkshire, Derbyshire and North Nottinghamshire areas. The site can accept both large and small deliveries of metals and waste and operates full weighbridge facilities. Should clients or partners require a facility to allow their own vehicles to deliver small loads of waste then a dedicated area of the site would be allocated for your employees' protection on the busy waste management facility.
The site has segregated storage and processing capabilities for permitted wastes, including hazardous chemical wastes. Our company has no direct interest in either Landfill or Incineration, these tend to be expensive options for us, and this underlines our commitment to use any initiatives which allow us to recycle to the maximum. Mixed materials are segregated to maximise its recycling potential via mechanical and physical screening and separation.
These systems enable the site to enjoy a high recycling rate of an average 88/96% of material input to the site.

New updates to open source projects this week. You can get from SVN Trunk.
Basically this is a developer API to control the bot. You can send commands and get notifications about changes. This lets a 3rd party application hook in even without the web based GUI. So, you are free to write your own add-ons in any language you like. Control the bot as a zombie, or have applications trigger on events and interact with the logged in users.
Things you can do via TCP connections include:
- state dump
- user list, both TCP and web users
- docking, undocking
- move commands
- factory reset
- reboot
- grab dock coordinates
- chat with all users and TCP connections
You can launch the client from Eclipse or export the project to a JAR (setting the launch class to developer.swingtool.client). Running the jar, build a simple bat file like:
start javaw -jar oculus.jar 192.168.1.xxx 4444 brad +tVfDvTicIG5chk8ibFy34L63A8=
Or on osx/linux do this instead:
java -jar oculus.jar 192.168.1.xxx 4444 brad +tVfDvTicIG5chk8ibFy34L63A8= &
The parameters are, robot's local ip, port number, user name, hashed password. You can send a plain text password if you like also.
As an example of how the TCP connections are sent updates, see below. We can chat with the logged in users and any TCP connections as well.
watch in 480p if you want to be able to actually read the text on screen
One example is sonar steering. The sonar values get updated and sent to all TCP connections. These listening services can stop the bot and write messages to the web screens too. Or, you might want to get going on your own auto-docking algorithm. This is easy because your module can just ask for the dock coordinates by sending a "find" command. These API's will grow besed on need and hacks I'm most certainly going to do. So get in touch with ideas or things you want access to. More info is available on the code site wiki.
There are a few youtube videos in the works on how to manage user accounts and settings if you are developing on oculus. Stay tunned..

The Facts
Capsule Bio
Chella Choi was a member of the 2006 Korean National Second Team; that year, she also won the Korea Junior Golf Association Championship.
In 2007, she played at a KLPGA event and finished 14th while still an amateur. At the end of that year, she turned pro and came to America, where she joined the Futures Tour. In 2008, she played 17 events on tour, making four top tens including a second place finish. She finished the year ranked 17th on tour in money.
That December, she went to LPGA Qualifying School. By the end of the week, she was one of four players left playing for the final two full membership cards. They played three holes to determine their fate. Choi birdied the first, and after three holes, had the lead; one of the two cards was hers! Thus, she became a rookie on tour in 2009.
In 2009, Choi worked hard to gain full status, but in the end just fell short, finishing 86th on the year end money list. Her best finish was a 20th. So she will have the same status in 2010 she had in 2009.
Choi's record improved in 2010. She made twice as much money, finished higher on the money list, and earned category 1 status for 2011. She was still looking for her first top ten finish, however.
2011 was by far the best season of Chella's career to date. She scored her first two top tens, had a fabulous US Women's Open where she nearly made another top ten, and made over $300,000 on the season to finish 35th on the money list. She also had a scoring average below par for the first time ever. This performance positioned her as one of the most promising of the young Koreans on tour.
In 2012, Chella took another huge leap forward in her career, contending multiple times for titles and finishing in the top 20 on the money list (20th) for the first time in her career. She still has not won, but she lost in a playoff at the Manulife, where she shot her career best score of 63 in the final round, and was tied for the lead on the back nine at the CN Canadian Women's Open before fading to 3rd. She notched five other top tens, another career best, including her first ever top ten in a Major at the British Open and a tie for third at the Jamie Farr and the HSBC Brasil Cup. Her scoring average was also a career best, and she earned twice what she had in her previous best season, 2011.
If Chella continues to improve at this rate, expect her to become a genuine star on tour in the next couple of years!

Thanks for the understanding Dave.
In reference to this topic, the whole party/nightlife genre is oversaturated with alot of DJs and promoters not paying their dues. After reading alot of the posts in this particular forum, I find that MOST of them (the amateurs) are not caring about the quality of their work but the quantity of what's going in their pockets.

CANADA PROBABLY WILL BACK DOWN.; Seizure of Copies of The Congressional Record Contrary to Treaty.
WASHINGTON, March 23 -- The action of the Canadian Government in seizing and refusing to deliver copies of The Congressional Record, under frank, containing incorporations from publications on the single tax theory, is consistent with the course pursued by the Canadian Post Office officials a year ago when a Government publication containing the book of Henry George was seized and held at the Toronto Post Office.

7 percent is probably a statistical outlier. Most polls I've seen for Iowa have it within the margin of error (~3%) or a little higher. Obama is going to be making the rounds through all the battle ground states over the next 40 days. Leave no stone unturned.
Obama's electoral map strategy is quite simple. If he wins Florida, Mitt needs all of OH, VA, IA, NH, NC, CO, NV and NM to win. That is pretty much all the swing states. Chance of that happening? Slim and none. It's all about electorate dynamics. The more states he can win now, the harder it will be for the Republicans to take the Electoral College in 2016.
Simply put, Obama can't get too comfortable. That is what the Democrats are most worried about -- that the Obama campaign will take the polling numbers that are showing well from other sources and be lax on the campaign trail. They don't need to tout these numbers either, because it might actually lower turn out in key states if people think he already has it in the bag.
Obama's victory over McCain was one of the biggest in the history of Presidential elections. It's wishful thinking (even with Obama's misshandling of several things while in office) to think that a weak candidate (which is what Romney is) who has ran a horrendous campaign is going to swing a ~7% national vote deficit and reclaim a majority of states that Obama won in 2008.
Mittens is in trouble.
That's the entire point. We are inundated with poll after poll showing Obama up big in these states. Both campaigns know that their own polls show the race much closer.
This thread was created in order to discredit a pollster who historically has been very accurate. A pollster who is showing Romney doing much better than all the other polls show. Going by Rasmussen's poll, Romney isn't in as bad a shape as we are led to believe. Romney doesn't have to swing 7% of the vote. That 7% was not the norm, and this election will return to the norm that we are used to seeing. If that happens, and Romney wins more of the I vote, which polling shows he is, than he has a good chance swinging some of these close states.

Factory Tours
Those TV shows where they show you how things are made are great and all, but they're missing the best part: samples. Massachusetts has all kinds of factory tours that let you experience the making process hands-, eyes-, and sometime even mouth-on. Take the Taza Chocolate Factory Tour and and see what dreams, er, chocolate is made of. Sampling the product makes the tour more interesting at Boston's two big brewers: the Sam Adams Brewery and Harpoon Brewery. If you like your factories cute and cuddly, the Island Alpaca Company on Martha's Vineyard has got you covered (in alpaca fleece). And at Cape Cod Potato Chips, you'll see how those weird things that grow in the ground turn into perfectly golden chips. Free samples, of course, included.

Although sunbathing allows humans to absorb the sun's natural energy, the sapped star will eventually turn pale, suffering the fate of Earth's original sun, the moon. Save the sun with this Groupon.
Choose Between Two Options
$10 for one month of unlimited tanning in a regular bed (a $39 value)
$19 for two Mystic spray tans (a $44 value)
Life's A Beach Tanning Salon & Boutique
Drawing inspiration from the natural light that fills the salon, the NTTI-certified staff at Life's A Beach Tanning Salon & Boutique strives to create a natural tan for its guests with UV and spray tanning. The salon's eight UV beds help clients to build up a warm glow throughout the year, and automated Mystic booths and custom airbrush-tanning sessions provide a seamless tan without exposure to UV rays or lifeguards who think they're the boss of you.
Tanning staff members help clients to choose from a selection of designer accelerator lotions, and the boutique showcases clothing, swimwear, and accessories. Onsite aestheticians and nail techs go beyond enhancing skin with a healthy-looking glow by sprucing up fingers and faces with salon services.

(CBS News) LEIGHTON, Iowa -- There's a quiet that usually settles
over the corn fields of Iowa this time of year. But not in Leighton,
population 150. Here, two or three times a week, local retirees come together with a renewed purpose in their lives.
Bill Bruxvoort used to run one of the town's banks.
Bill Bruxvoort used to run one of the town's banks.
"It's just unbelievable how much response we've had. Almost more than we could handle," he says. "All retirees. And they all get paid the same. ... Nothing."They get paid nothing to create what are called PETs, short for Personal Energy Transportation, a hand-powered tricycle wagon designed for the disabled in the developing world.
"Those people would be just put away in a closet or bed somewhere, because it was deemed if you were disabled that you were cursed," Bruxvoort says. "That really touched my heart, and I thought, you know, there's something we should do about that."read more
