This workshop is for anyone interested in using a CNC Router for digital fabrication, specifically the ShopBot machine for computer-controlled cutting and routing.
In this two week course, we will meet for two 3-hour sessions – a total of 6 instructional hours. The course covers an introduction to the ShopBot, Computer-Aided Design software to design projects for the machine, creation of 2D tool paths for the machine using PartWorks, and basic machine operation and safety. You will learn how to safely operate the machine on your own, so that you may use the machine independently after completing the training and signing up for membership.
Our machine is a ShopBot PRS standard 96 with a cutting area of 96″ (x-axis) x 48″ (y-axis) x 6″ (z-axis). The machine is capable of machining 2D parts (profile, pockets, drilling) and making 3D carvings. This workshop only covers 2D tool paths, not 3D carvings.

Hann Cassaday is a singer/songwriter from Chicago, IL specializing in heart-wrenching lyrics draped in simple melodies, mixing synths, acoustic guitars, and varying vocal stylings. She has been writing music since the young age of fourteen.
Loves It was born in the vibrant honky tonkin' community of Austin TX in 2010. Vaughn Walters and Jenny Parrott, each veterans of the road, left their other bands to hit the ground running as a duo. Their homemade melodies and rhythms are inspired by folk, country, gospel and early punk. Loves It plays with a veneration for tradition and a determination to bring a modern voice to their favorite sounds. In their first year, they played 197 shows, 8 countries, had a terrible car wreck with an 18 wheeler, learned fiddle, made experimental recordings in Berlin with Boris Hauf, and experienced too many adventures to be told here. Kinky Friedman calls their debut album "Yay" "an American original, another step on the road to the stars."

Just in time for the Holidays, the December Geek Dinner will feature the ultimate stocking stuffer: Modibots.
Providence-based toy designer Wayne Losey's resume reads like a who's who of action figures: Stars Wars, GI Joe, Jurassic Park, Teenage Ninja Turtles, and on and on. But when he left Hasbro, he decided that rather than working on more "one-off" action figures, he wanted to create an action figure platform — a system of interlocking components that could be remixed and extended by anyone. Think action figures meets Lego meets 3d printing.
As always, for first-timers here are the details on the Geek Dinners:
- The event itself is FREE! Beverages and food are for sale at AS220's excellent bar and restaurant.
- Doors open at 5:30pm. Socializing, eating and drinking up until the 30 min presentation/q&a around 6:30pm. Afterwards, back to socializing, eating, drinking…
- It's totally casual. Wear whatever, bring whoever, arrive and take off whenever! And don't worry about eating or not – come famished or full – eating is optional, and frankly, the least of the festivities (that's not say the food isn't good – it's actually great)
- Topics of conversation will vary as they will at any gathering of geeks, but many of us will be talking about AJAX, mash-ups, start-ups, new devices, innovative business models, interaction design, social computing, digital art, web services, etc. etc. etc.
- There is Wi-Fi so bring your connected device of choice.
Modern Dance For Every Level with Stephanie Turner // Wednesdays @ 6:30-8pm // $13 per class; $60 for 6 classes
Class begins with a warm-up that incorporates yoga and breathwork with gentle movements of the spine before moving on to phrase material. A series of short phrases will then be explored, where students are encouraged to play and experiment with how his/her individual body prefers to move through the demonstrated movements. The phrases include elements like directional changes, movement through space, spirals, rotation, lines, momentum, energy and floorwork. Movement may carry over from previous classes and blend into the dance material. Each phrase that is developed will lead to a rich and colorful dance toward the end of class.
A monthly meetup for 3D Printing enthusiasts in Providence, RI. 3DPPVD is a monthly meetup for 3D printer operators in the Providence, RI area. This free event meets at AS220 Labs in downtown Providence and is open to anyone who is interested in digital fabrication.

THE VIEW FROM HERESO Cllr Wayne Whittle, he of the perma-tan and smarmy white teeth, has decided, "after very careful consideration over several months", to join the Conservative group at County Hall.
I wonder if during those several months he carefully considered the reaction of those who voted him in as an independent councillor in 2009? Or carefully considered the meaning of the word "integrity"?
Even if he did, he obviously didn't think such matters worth bothering about. But why should he? Cllr Whittle follows a long tradition of politicians arbitrarily swapping party loyalties in mid-term, their arrogance in flagrant disregard for the basic notions of democracy.
Former MPs Emma Nicholson and Quentin Davies are among those to have skipped across the floor of the Commons, not bothering to ask their constituents whether they wanted to be landed with a representative of a different political shade from the one they actually voted for.
Both are now in the Lords, which probably demonstrates the need for reform of that chamber. At local level, we have the unedifying tale of the Lib Dems and independents who, back in 2001, thought it would be expedient (only for themselves, of course, their regime being a disaster for everybody else) to invent an entirely new party called "Island First", for which not a single vote had been cast.
Cllr Whittle's statement is full of high-minded phrases.
"Over the past three years it has been increasingly clear to me that I can best represent the interests of local people by working constructively with the main team of councillors — the Conservatives."
Well, fancy that. Cllr Whittle's mind must work exceeding slow if it's taken three years for him to realise just what a bummer it is to sit among the independent group.
Sorry, Wayne, that's not how you put it, is it? You want to "best represent the interests of local people".
Of course you do.
"The Conservative group is made up of community-focused individuals, such as myself," says Wayne of his new best friends. Is that what you said about them when you stood as an independent at the last election?
If Cllr Whittle really feels he should be a Tory, then he must go ahead. It will be lovely for him to be with people who have "a shared determination to make the necessary decisions — in a timely manner — for the future of the Island".
It's not the defection itself that's wrong. It's the arrogance of not consulting the voters, who chose him as their independent councillor.
Do you suppose, Wayne, there might have been a reason they didn't elect the Tory? That's right. They didn't want him.
If you have even an ounce of respect for those who put you into County Hall, you'll step down as a councillor right now and have the courage to stand in a by-election in your new party colours.
My guess is you won't. And no doubt your new masters will draft a suitable response for you to explain why such a thing would be out of the question.
Mick Jagger, Eric Idle, David Bowie, Julie Christie — here they all are, having a great time (and astonishingly well photographed, considering Carinthia seems to have been pretty well constantly either partying or hungover at the time) with her vivacious captions leading us back to those carefree days.
It's a complete joy and perfect for Dimbola, which remains a bastion of independent eccentricity, though there are far too many people who have never visited this treasurehouse.
It has a reputation as "one of the Island's best-kept secrets", which must be kind of irksome for a tourist attraction.
It's a brilliant place. If you've never been, go at once. And tell all your friends.

My daughter and I were not in a hurry toeat and enjoy our meal. We ordered each individually and talked and chatted through each one. Our servers were polite and help ful. We were not rushed through our meal. This is important to usbecause it was our chance to visit and catch up. Thank you for a nice experience. I would do it again.
I took my wife to Deluge for Mother's Day. I had previously been there for Thanksgiving 2012. I did not feel the selection was all that it was supposed to be. I repeatedly asked for shrimp since there were none when we arrived at 4:30. I must have asked 4 times before they finally put some out. Once there, they were meaty and delish. Overall not enough food for the price. Salmon was OK. Ravioli was OK. Did not touch the lamb or beef which were at a carving station. Dessert was brought to the table. We received about 5-6 small selections. Three of which were cream puffs. I think for $42 pp, could have been better.
The menu was both artful and intelligent, in that it was definitely Asian, but also had a few selections to accommodate a strictly Western palate. There are two quite lovely private rooms, for large groups.
first time dining here and it was delicious! i had the lettuce wraps appetizer, pretty good, and salmon for main entree! my friend had the chicken broth soup and cod and both were very tasteful! great presentation and food was really really delicious! this is located lower lever of sheraton hotel. they validate your parking ticket so go ahead and park in structure. i would come back and recommend friends! great service from Luis! beautiful decor!

September, Rose; Savahl, Shazly (University of Johannesburg, 2009)[more][less]
Abstract: The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) through its reporting framework for nation states has prompted increasing interest on the measuring and monitoring of child well-being. The domains and indicators included in the repertoire of country measures of child well-being have mostly been constructed and monitored by adults, usually social scientists and government officials. This study explored children's own understandings of children's well-being. Sixteen focus groups were conducted with 200 children between the ages of 9 and 16 years. The study identified protection and safety, basic needs, community resources and psychosocial issues as the key domains of well-being. The study further highlighted the importance of perceiving well-being as an integrated whole consisting of closely interacting components rather than as a discrete multidimensional phenomenon.

If OP doesn't like indifference, how about | |||||||||||||
How about "non-response"? Would that work for what you're doing? | |||
"Inaction", "Inattention", or "Disregard" might be fitting. The first most fitting I think but maybe a little broad. | |||
Consider stodginess ("state or quality of being stodgy", ie of being dull, old-fashioned); as in "The stodginess of their response shocked me." Also consider complacency, as in "The complacency of their response amazed me." Some other words to think about are insipidity, turgidity, inertia, and Luddism. Also consider verb cold-shoulder ("To disrespect someone, especially by ignoring them"), or noun cold shoulder ("A deliberate act of disrespect; a slight or snub"), as in "They cold-shouldered the proposal most obstropulously" or "The cold shoulder was expected but annoying." Slight, as a verb ("To treat as slight or not worthy of attention, to make light of" or "To treat with disdain or neglect") or noun ("The act of slighting; a deliberate act of neglect or discourtesy"), may be used similarly. | |||||||||

TUCSON - Minimal Miriam impacts for the end of the week.
Expect partly cloudy skies and daytime highs in the low 90's today through Saturday, according to News 4 Meteorologist Jeff Beamish. The clouds come courtesy of Tropical Storm Miriam, which remains off the Baja California coast. This is the only impact we'll see from Miriam the next 72 hours.
Cloud cover decreases the second half of the weekend & early next week, thanks to a high pressure ridge building over the West Coast. Accompanying mostly sunny skies will be afternoon highs in the mid to upper 90's starting Sunday. By Wednesday, areas west of Tucson could threaten the triple digit mark.

SHAPELY SPIRAL: A composite false-color image from the Hubble Space Telescope and the Keck telescope in Hawaii shows BX 442's spiral structure. The companion galaxy that may be responsible for BX 442's spiral shape is visible to the upper left.

The early universe was a rough-and-tumble place. Galaxies smashed together with much more regularity than they do today, and the insides of galaxies were chaotic, clumpy pods of stars. It was no place for an orderly, delicate swirl of a galaxy like the Milky Way or Andromeda.
But by scanning hundreds of galaxies that existed just a few billion years after the big bang, a group of astronomers has turned up a diamond in the cosmic rough. The researchers found a rare early galaxy with pronounced spiral arms, they reported in the July 19 issue of Nature. And that galaxy's unique circumstances may help explain why spirals are so rare at that epoch. (Scientific American is part of Nature Publishing Group.)
The newfound galaxy, known as BX 442, was identified as a spiral in Hubble images targeting 306 galaxies at redshifts of 1.5 to 3.6, corresponding to times roughly 9.3 billion to 11.9 billion years ago. (Redshift is a measure of cosmological distance that indicates how much an object's light has been stretched toward longer wavelengths as it traverses an expanding universe.) BX 442, the only identifiable spiral of the bunch, resides at redshift 2.18, some 10.7 billion years ago, or just three billion years after the big bang. It appears to fit the bill for a variety called a grand-design spiral, in which pronounced spiral arms lend a well-defined shape to the galaxy's disk of stars.
"We see the grand-design spiral pattern in this galaxy, and it's kind of astounding. We hadn't expected to find that," says lead study author David Law, an astrophysicist at the University of Toronto. "The 300-odd other galaxies in our own survey, and many others in different surveys, don't show this pattern."
Spirals are common in the modern universe, but as astronomers gaze across the cosmos at objects farther and farther away—and hence further and further back in time—spiral structure starts to peter out, which is why BX 442 makes for such an interesting case study.
"It is unique, they're right about that," says astronomer Bruce Elmegreen of IBM's T. J. Watson Research Center in Yorktown Heights, N.Y. "It's been known for awhile that there are disks at these redshifts. Disks are not surprising, and usually when there are disks locally there are spirals in the disks," he adds. "But at these redshifts spirals have not been seen, and that had been a puzzle."
Instead of orderly swirls, astronomers see lumpy, blobby galaxies going through the cosmic equivalent of an awkward phase. "At these redshifts, the galaxy population if you look with Hubble mostly looks irregular and peculiar," says astrophysicist Christopher Conselice of the University of Nottingham. "Most of those galaxies are probably undergoing mergers, smashing together." And their stars are not usually confined to a flat, thin, evenly rotating disk.
BX 442, too, appears to have a somewhat chaotic stellar population, as if it its contents have been churned up. But somehow a regular spiral structure was imprinted on the galaxy's stars, perhaps by a recent grazing encounter with a much smaller galaxy. "What seems to set it apart as best as we can tell is it has this little companion galaxy off to the side," Law says of the rare spiral.
A study last year showed that the Sagittarius Dwarf Galaxy, a satellite of the Milky Way, could be responsible for some of the spiral structure of our own galaxy. As Sagittarius fell inward and passed through the plane of the larger galaxy, its impact would have been strong enough to disrupt a uniform disk of stars and morph it into a familiar spiral. A similar process could explain the atypical spiral nature of BX 442. Using a computer simulation, the researchers found that an interaction could indeed stir up spiral structure in the distant galaxy. But that transformation would not be permanent if indeed the companion galaxy were the trigger. "If that's the case, then what we're seeing now will probably fade away within about 100 million years or so," Law says.

Allen and Nancy Wilson are 58 and 53 respectively. Both are physicians with a combined annual income of approximately $300,000. Many years ago they invested in a company that was designed to grow through acquisition of other similar companies.
The company now has significant value and generates $4-$6 million in annual taxable income for our clients. The bad news is that the company only makes distributions sufficient to pay taxes on the income.
As a result of shareholder revolt, the company has now agreed to provide an additional $1M in distributions to Allen and Nancy until the expected sale of the company, which should occur sometime in the next 5 years.
Upon sale of the company, there will be an enormous capital gains event for Allen and Nancy. They currently spend about $750,000 per year and expect to be spending their investment account principal over the next few years until the company sells and provides them with a large influx of cash.
This story ended on a positive note. Thanks to the shareholder revolt, these clients were able to achieve significant success through the advanced planning process.
Now onto the remaining five hundred plus shareholders….

Greetings. This is a re-post from another web-sites' forum.
I'm not really sure where it should be posted here at actastrology or if at all [I'll let the mods decide] ...but I believe you'll find it an interesting theory.
I utilized the talents of a clairvoyant friend on a couple of points presented within this theory and got an overall thumbs up for the "package." [this clairvoyant works with spiritual guides, of whom, I've been convinced of...although these 'Guides' say this theory, as I explain it/present it, is overly simplistic...]
...interestingly, about a year ago, I heard an associate tell me he knows of a professor at MIT [or it could have been Cal/Tech or possibly Stanford] that espoused and proposed a very, very similiar theory.
...anyways, here's the post...
How Einsteins Theory of Relativity proved the Immortality of the Soul.
E = MC2. In this brief equation Einstein said that Matter, M, is composed of essentially Light and Energy.
This equation also led to the theory and development of the Atomic Bomb and the theory of time travel.
By the above formula it is extrapolated somehow that if you could take off from this Planet in a space ship and achieve the Speed of Light then for every 'X' amount of years you travelled you would travel 'X' x 'Y' number of years into the future. I can't recall what the ratio is or if any Scientist can give one but it was something like 20 or 200 to 1 when I first heard this stuff.
So, if you travel the 'Speed of Light' and you go FORWARD in time, then how would one go backwards into time?
The answer is: "as all actions have an opposite and equal re-action",You slow Light down to your speed. Did anyone notice the page 10 news item, back around Feb. 2003, that announced that American Gov't scientists were excited to have finally achieved slowing light down in a specially constructed chamber filled with exotic gases?
Apparently this experiment had been attempted for a number of years without success at no little expense....[yeah, I wondered ,"What the Hell could THEY be up to now"??!!].
[Also, THEY are presently attempting to create 'Black Holes' in tunnnels beneath the Swiss Alps presently...Man, you got to keep an eye on THEM!...they think THEY can control these things...the key work here is ''THINK" as in "SURMISE" or "HYPOTHESIZE"].
Now I'd like to bring up the concept of what happens at the speed of light squared...the C2 of E = MC2.
At that Speed Light Laps itself...that is light will eventually catch up to the first ray of light ever emitted and thus laps itself or loops...yep, just like NASCAR... [See Mobius strip and/or the icon for infinity].
At that point the past, present and future become ONE in that light. That is the speed of thought... the Speed one achieves in Astral projection into the Eternal Light that is one with the Holy Word...the OM.
This is the Light that cannont exist in our Universe and thus the Creator gave us two lesser forms of Light that can exist in our physical universe...the Sun and the Moon...his two Luminaries to rule side by side. [You see?...time is an illusion, that is a phenomena, created by the speed of light]
Anyways,back to Einsteins equation: ...If physical life is Matter, 'M'...then it, Life, is equal to...by algebraic equation; ... M = E/C2...i.e. Life is equal to Energy divided by the Speed of Light squared...or i.e. Life = Energy / OM ...[I'd like to use the glyphs for the Anhk and the OM in Sanskrit here but can't].
So, if Life is composed of Gods Eternal Light and Word...then what is the Energy???
Answer...LOVE is the Energy... God took his Love and divided it by his Eternal Light and created Life....a very simplistic analogy but nonetheless accurate and true.Thus as Einstein said Matter cannot be destroyed only converted to Light and Energy...then the reverse is true for both Light and Energy...they cannot be destroyed...thus as you are 'Conscious' Light & Energy you cannot be destroyed...you are eternal in essence...only impermeable and changable in form.
...ps, I usually try to refer to God in the neutral gender but it is rather impossible to when utilizing such analogies as the above...I apologize to anyone who may be offended.

Fertilizer and ag retail giant Agrium will not split its wholesale and retail divisions as its biggest shareholder, Jana Partners, wants because it would "destroy value" for shareholders, Agrium's CEO said on Monday.
Mike Wilson was speaking in New York to Agrium's sell-side analysts in an attempt to blunt Jana's move to replace part of Agrium's board and effect changes it says would increase returns to investors.
Jana preferred to talk to Agrium's shareholders and analysts rather than to the company itself, despite an understanding last spring that Agrium and Jana would keep talks on improving the company private, Wilson said.
"They'll say one thing and do the opposite... They're good at breaking up companies," Wilson said. "They're very good at saying, 'Why not just engage some ideas?' The answer is, if we do, we'll destroy value for our company, and we're not about to do that."
Wilson said a share buyback last year, and increases in Agrium's dividend, had nothing to do with Jana's pressure.
Jana, a New York-based hedge fund that owns six per cent of Agrium, said last week that it was meeting in Canada with Canadian shareholders, who make up an estimated one-third of Calgary-based Agrium's ownership.
Jana said Agrium has refused to openly discuss all ways to improve the company's performance.
Along with splitting the wholesale and retail divisions, Jana has said it wants the company to make better use of capital, control retail and corporate costs better and improve disclosure to shareholders.
Wilson said Agrium would improve disclosure of its retail performance at the New York event, but is also wary of releasing too much detail that its privately-held competitors could use.
In November, Jana nominated a slate of five candidates to Agrium's 11-member board to buttress its demand that the company split up its wholesale and retail divisions.
Among others, that slate includes former Canadian federal agriculture minister Lyle Vanclief, and David Bullock, a former chief financial officer at UAP, now part of Agrium's retail wing.
In an Oct. 1 presentation to an investor conference, Jana said Agrium's share price could rise by about $50 if the company took steps to improve its business.

Melted rock, or magma, flows to the surface at volcanos and becomes lava. But where does magma come from? Plate tectonic explains how crust is buried at subduction zones, melts, and erupts explosively, as in 1980 at Mount Saint Helens. Shield volcanos erupt more quietly, but they are formed from hot spots deep within the Earth.

Desert Storm requires an approach via Stradivarius or Fender Strat (Both excellent lines on their own) but despite it being "out of the way" is, in my opinion, one of the best .12 pitches in the gorge. The pitch ascends a beautiful golden face with big exposure and incredibly sustained moves on crimps and small pockets. Though the route is only 6 bolts long, when you look to place your feet you feel that you are much higher off the deck as all you can see is the river, and not the small tower on which the belay for the route is situated. The rock on the route is much more coarse then other rock found in the ORG and climbs more like the Sad Boulders. I feel the only reason this route is not 5 stars is because it has not received much traffic and is relatively short by gorge standards.
Desert Storm can be approached via Stradivarius (8) or Fender Strat (10a), or Sly Little Fart Blaster (11d, which finishes at the shuts for Strad. All these approach routes make great warm-up for Desert Storm. It is important to note that a chain belay for Desert Storm exist directly on top of the tower, about 10 feet past the shuts for Strad. or Fender. This belay is much more comfy then attempting to belay from the shuts for Fender or Strad. After lowering off desert Storm, rapp down whatever route you used to approach the top of the pillar.
The pro is 6 bolts, there are cold shuts at the top, and there's a chain belay on top of the tower.
Superb position and moves atypical of ORG...
Spectacular climb. Not super technical like many of the harder climbs in the Gorge. Steep pocket and edge pulling with wild exposure.
This was a great route with good holds and fun movement throughout. There was almost no chalk on the route when I did it and the hardest part was figuring out what to reach for.
I'd give this route five stars if...it was on better rock, like granite, had a better approach, like 15 pitches of stellar cracks, and was located somewhere better, like a hundred miles east on the side of el Cap.
I normally don't get into online debates, but I have to address the previous comment. James, I have to say it grinds my gears for you to post negative commentary about the Gorge. The Earth offers us many different rock types, each of which is unique and lends itself to its own characteristic features and movement aesthetic. Not everything can be Valley Granite. The joy of rock climbing manifests in many ways: exposure, position, movement, scenery, rock quality, the aesthetic of the line, etc. and all of these traits have their respective value. The gorge is a sport climber's paradise, with amazing features, long sustained routes, extraordinary route density, aesthetic lines, year-round climbing season, relative ease of access, and every possible sun aspect within a stone's throw, making shade or sun a choice with which the climber is empowered. Not to mention well over 300 days of sunshine every year. Come on, man, give it some credit.
There's some choss but it still shines.
