Not to be outdone by its back end, the front of the Fairlane packs plenty of trick pieces as well. The entire unibody from the front of the firewall forward is completely custom. The result is flat inner fenders that seamlessly blend into the radiator core support and fan shroud. Likewise, the custom carbon-fiber hood is a story in and of itself. Inspired by the GT40 race car, it features a pair of inverted scoops that expel hot air from the fan shroud. It was first cut and welded from steel, primed, and ready for paint. Next, molds were pulled from the top and bottom of the hood, and they were sent off to Gemini Racing in East Troy to complete the carbon-fiber transformation. The front and rear bumpers are also carbon fiber, and were built using a similar production process.
Nearly lost in all the custom ingenuity is a powertrain, suspension, and chassis that ensures that Afterburner has the chops to back up its pleasing aesthetics. Scoot comes from a Roush-built 427 crate motor that uses a Dart 4.125-inch bore block, a forged rotating assembly with 10.25:1 compression, CNC-ported aluminum heads, and a hydraulic roller camshaft. Adding some serious eye candy is a Roush eight-stack intake manifold featuring individual throttle stacks for each intake port. The combo produces 560 hp and a stout 551 lb-ft of torque. It's backed by a paddle-shifted Bowler AOD-E transmission, and a 9-inch rearend. Custom tubular control arms and Penske coilovers take care of ride and handling duties at each corner. Out back, the stock leaf-spring setup was ditched in favor of a custom rear suspension design similar to what's found on third- and fourth-generation Camaros. Custom lower control arms attach the rearend to what used to be the front spring pockets, and a Panhard bar locates the rearend laterally. Forgeline 18-inch EV3 wheels wrapped in Goodyear rubber provide the stick, while Wilwood disc brakes bring everything to a halt.
As no surprise, Afterburner commanded plenty of attention when it debuted at last year's SEMA show. Not only did it win the Ford Design award, an enamored Dearborn executive commented that the Fairlane was the easiest pick for the award since its inception. Furthermore, it's quite possible that Ringbrothers might take home another Street Machine of the Year award with their latest piece of mechanical genius. While the Ring boys appreciate the recognition, they find the building process much more gratifying. "Awards are nice, but that's not why we build these cars. Our goal is to express our passion for the hobby by building cars that push the envelope of design," Jim says. Regardless of why they're built, any car worthy of the big red "R" will be doing its part to elevate high-end street machines to the next level.
The Brothers Ring
Despite their success on the national stage, Jim and Mike Ring think of themselves as ordinary car guys. They just happen to do extraordinary work. The brothers come from a family of seven kids, and grew up hanging out at their dad's gas station in rural Wisconsin. "We were always looking for things to take apart, and did a number on quite a few lawn mower engines," Jim says. The duo was always into cars, but like most people, they got regular day jobs when they got older and worked on cars for fun on weekends. After a while, Jim got sick of sitting behind a desk and wanted to pursue his true calling. "I had to move to Chicago for my day job, and I hated it. Sitting in an office wasn't any fun, so I decided to move back to Wisconsin and open up a body shop. After I got settled, I called up my brother Mike and brought him on board, too."

Weight Hatin': Giving a Voice to the Overweight

2 Responses to Weight Hatin': Giving a Voice to the Overweight
I really like this post Rachael. I especially like the ending where you say that the eating disorder made you more empathetic toward overweight people. I have had many moments of awakening like that in my own life with regard to other issues. I am very grateful for those moments now (even though they sucked at the time) because they've made me a more thoughtful person today. So here's to more difficult, but necessary, lessons!
This is such an important issue, thanks for touching on it with such honesty. It's hard to admit our own prejudices and the "fat-bias" is almost an accepted one. I don't know if you've ever checked out the blog Dances With Fat, but she has some GREAT information, truly insightful!

July 23rd is Batman Day, and I can think of no better way to celebrate 75 years of Batman stories than by looking at Justice League Unlimited's second season finale "Epilogue"—a Batman-centric episode that honors the character's legacy, and one that I'm still not over.
Cartoon Network had yet to renew Justice League Unlimited for a third season when "Epilogue" was written, suggesting it was intended to bring the entire DC Animated Universe—which began in 1992 with the premiere of Batman: The Animated Series—to a close. The writers decided to end the DCAU where it all started. "Epilogue" finds a way to give the Batman character an ending that feels earned, and it reminds us of what made Batman so formidable and focuses on a side of him that often goes unnoticed.
Set 65 years in the future in the Gotham City of Batman Beyond, "Epilogue" drops a huge story bombshell: Terry McGinnis (Will Friedle)—the Batman of the future now that Bruce Wayne (Kevin Conroy) has retired—discovers he is Bruce Wayne's biological son, the result of a genetic experiment that involved overwriting his father's DNA with Bruce's DNA. The sole purpose of this experiment: to create a new Batman. When Terry finds out, he assumes that Bruce has masterminded the plan out of his arrogant belief that the world couldn't go on without him. Having witnessed Bruce's life in his old age, Terry becomes afraid at the the new revelation; he fears being as alone, cold, and miserable as Bruce is. READ FULL STORY

|Background information

|Indie rock
|Years active
|Liam James Fray

Mark Joseph Cuppello
Courteeners (formerly The Courteeners) are an English indie rock band formed in Middleton, Greater Manchester in 2006 by Liam James Fray (guitar/vocals), Michael Campbell (drums/backing vocals), Daniel "Conan" Moores (guitar), and Mark Joseph Cuppello (bass). They have released four studio albums: St. Jude (2008), Falcon (2010), Anna (2013) and Concrete Love (2014) as well as several EPs and one DVD album.
Formation (2006–2007)[edit]
The band members have known each other since they were ten years old. All members of the band are from Middleton: Fray and Moores attended Cardinal Langley Roman Catholic High School in Middleton while Mark Cuppello attended St Monica's RC High School in Prestwich, and Michael Campbell attended St Cuthberts RC High school in Rochdale.
At first Fray studied Business Studies at University, however soon realised it was a lot harder than he thought and not what he wanted to do. Therefore he chose to study Creative Writing as he enjoyed writing poetry and short stories, but not reading. While at the University of Salford (studying Creative Writing), Fray started performing acoustic sets as a singer-songwriter around bars and at open-mic nights in Manchester. After getting positive reactions from the crowd, Fray decided to leave University and form a band. Liam recruited long-time friend and neighbour Michael Campbell, who had never played the drums before. They played as 'Liam Fray' until Moores and Cuppello joined the band.[1]
Their first gig was at the Manchester Roadhouse in October 2006, and the band went from strength to strength in Manchester, largely through a word-of-mouth following brought on by extensive gigging and television publicity. The Courteeners released their debut single "Cavorting" on 6 August 2007 by Loog Records.[2] A second single, "Acrylic" was released on 22 October 2007 reaching number 44 in the UK Chart.[3]
St. Jude (2007–2009)[edit]
The Courteeners were approached by producer, Stephen Street, of the Smiths, Blur and Morrissey fame about the possibility of working together. They first released a single "What Took You So Long?" on 14 January 2008, a song which reached No. 20 in the United Kingdom charts.[4] The debut album, St. Jude, was released on 7 April 2008 by Polydor Records. It was launched at Manchester's Market Street HMV store.
The album reached No 4 in the UK Albums Chart,[5] and has since gone on to achieve gold status. The album was preceded by the release of single "Not Nineteen Forever" on 31 March 2008,[6] entering at No. 19 and becoming their highest charting single to date. A fifth single, "No You Didn't, No You Don't" was released on 23 June 2008.
The band played to a packed out John Peel tent at the 2008 Glastonbury Festival.[7] and played major slots at V Festival, T In The Park, and other festivals across Europe. They played with Kasabian and Primal Scream at the Fuji Rock Festival in Niigata Prefecture in Japan.
"That Kiss" was released on 6 October 2008, produced again by Stephen Street.[8] The song was released as a stand alone track and entered the charts at number five in the Midweek Top 40.[9]
By October 2008 the band had begun a sell out tour of major venues across the UK including two nights at Manchester Apollo and London's Shepherd's Bush Empire. A first taste of Arena shows came with their December 2008 support slot on the Stereophonics' Decade In The Sun Tour. This saw them appear at huge venues such as the Manchester Arena, London's O2 Arena, and Glasgow's Scottish Exhibition and Conference Centre.
December 2008 saw the band crowned inaugural winners of the Guardian's First British Album Award beating off strong competition from Glasvegas, Duffy, Adele, and Noah & The Whale. The award was voted for by members of the public and Guardian journalists. St. Jude clinched a mammoth 53% of the public vote.[10]
In March 2009 the band made their US debut with a headline show at New York's Mercury Lounge, followed by a month touring the States as special guests of Morrissey on his 'Tour Of Refusal'. Over 18 dates included appearances at New York's famous Carnegie Hall, the Dallas Palladium and Albuquerque's Sunshine Theater. They completed their tour of America at the 2009 Coachella Festival in Indio, California performing on the Festival's Main Stage along with Paul McCartney, Morrissey, and Franz Ferdinand. In the UK the band played the 2009 Reading/Leeds Festival on the Main Stage along with Arctic Monkeys, The Prodigy, and Ian Brown. They also appeared at the 2009 T In The Park Festival as second headliners in the King Tut's Wah Wah Tent.
Falcon and Electric Lick EP (2009–2011)[edit]
The band's second album Falcon was confirmed for release on 22 February 2010. This was preceded by a single "You Overdid It Doll" on 15 February 2010. The album was recorded at ICP Studios in Belgium and produced by Ed Buller (White Lies, Pulp, Suede). The album was well received by the British music press with NME awarding the album 8/10 and both Mojo & Q Magazines giving the album 4-star reviews.[11][11] In Falcon's first week it entered the top 10 in 6th place.
Many songs from the band's second album including "The Opener", "You Overdid It Doll", and "Take Over The World" made their live debuts at two UK shows in December 2009. The first at Warrington Parr Hall was followed by a sold-out headline homecoming show at the 10,000-capacity Manchester Central - formerly known as Manchester GMEX. Tickets for the show sold out within a week.
The first song released from the album was "Cross My Heart and Hope To Fly" making its radio debut on Zane Lowe's BBC Radio 1 show as his Hottest Record In The World.[12] The track was released as a free download through their official website on 7 December 2009 as well as a seven-inch version with a B-side.
Falcon's first official single "You Overdid It Doll" was released a week before the album's release on 15 February. This also saw its radio debut on BBC Radio 1's Zane Lowe show. Lowe, a big supporter throughout the band's career, once again made it his Hottest Record In The World.[13] The single was added to daytime radio playlists including BBC Radio One, XFM, and BBC 6 Music.

David Barrow, booker for the Forestry Commission said, 'Following their triumphant MEN Arena show last weekend I knew we would comfortably sell out, but 38 minutes is a forest record, so it's official The Courteeners are the fastest selling forest act we have had since the gigs kicked off 11 years ago. The previous record was held by JLS last year'.

We were joking about opening the doors at two in the afternoon so everyone at the gig can get their photo on the way in! It's a massive landmark and it's a pleasure and privilege to play it."

Critical acclaim[edit]
Morrissey has mentioned his love for the Courteeners on numerous occasions. After seeing the Courteeners in Camden, Morrissey played their song "What Took You So Long" on American radio station KRCW, where he heaped praise on the band saying that "Every song was very strong and full of hooks and full of dynamics and I thought, 'this is great' and that so many groups in England, they're hyped and they're huge and they're all over the press and they don't really actually have any songs, they don't really have anything to offer ... but it's different with The Courteeners, they actually do have very good, strong songs." Morrissey added to his praise that "I think they will make it here [in the US] and I think you'll come across them." On 30 December it was announced that the Courteeners would be joining Morrissey on his American tour in Spring in support of his new album Years of Refusal.

Publisher Comments:
First published in 1998, American Higher Education in the Twenty-First Century offers a comprehensive entree to the central issues facing American colleges and universities today. This thoroughly revised edition brings the volume up to date on key topics of enduring interest.
Placing higher education within its social and political contexts, leading scholars discuss finance, federal and state governance, faculty, students, curriculum, and academic leadership. Contributors also address major changes in higher education, especially the influence and incorporation of the latest technologies and growing concern about the future of the academy in a post-Iraq War setting.
No other book covers such wide-ranging issues under the broader theme of higher education's relationship to society. Highly acclaimed and incorporating cutting-edge research, American Higher Education in the Twenty-First Century remains the standard reference in the field.

Hiker dies after falling from L.A. area cliff
March 23, 2013 3:15 PM
ALTADENA, Calif. (AP) – A 17-year-old girl has died and an 18-year-old man has been injured after falling about 200 feet while hiking in the Angeles National Forest near Los Angeles.
Authorities say the two were among four people hiking in Eaton Canyon Friday when they all slipped from a cliff to a rocky base below.
Los Angeles County sheriff's Lt. Brian Fitch told the Pasadena Star-News the girl, from Alhambra, sustained head injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene.
The injured man, also from Alhambra, was airlifted to a hospital.

When it was time to significantly improve the stopping power on PHR's own Project Nova, we turned to CPP's Big-Brake kit, putting beefy 13-inch drilled, slotted rotors and twin-piston PBR calipers with new 2-inch drop spindles up front (shown), and 12-inch single-piston units in the rear. They've since proved their worth in traffic and on the autocross many times. Our measured stopping distance from 60-0 is around 120 feet, about 100 feet shorter than the drum brakes they replaced.

Kitten Is Pretty Sure He Was Adopted
Tofu the cat is starting to think that maybe he was adopted. He didn't think about it much for the first couple months of his life, but recently, he's begun to notice a few things that indicate he may not be living with his birth family.
"Well, the main thing is there are no other cats around," said Preston Thayer, a friend. "He lives with two humans and a Pekinese named Tuna. If he wasn't adopted, where are the other felines?"
Tofu plans to confront his family about the situation later this week.

These Relationship Funny poems are examples of Funny poems about Relationship. These are the best examples of Relationship Funny poems written by international PoetrySoup poets
Hear it chugging and tasle
The sun has gone down
Twilight, is still not dark
Small steps ... chugging and tasle
The dog is standing still
Sniffing and listening
Sounds comes closer
A small ball comes out of the bushes
My favorite toy, the dog thinking
Sticking her nose up ..... but ...
The ball is full of sticking spines
it makes a hissing sound
Hedgehog will not play with the dog
A-L Andresen :) - This is my dog "Maya" :))
(5th in the contest)
Watch this scene with both eyes and try not to blink C: -->
I stood there... silently
Like a predator near prey
I sneak behind YOU
You weren't even aware of it!! Ha-ha!
I made YOU jump hIgH
Like a startled hare
I chuckle and smile
You know that mischievous smile of mine?
Your reaction was
PRICELESS - you were so upset
But YOU forgave me
Well...I'm flattered. . .
We laugh'd together (just like the good times)
In a chorus - our volume
Picked up extreme sound
Believe me - I could hear our laughter from a mile away!
But I'm glad I did
My best to make you giggle
Ridiculous me...
Wouldn't you agree?
It's a mother-in-law's right, her prerogative
To 'drop in' on her son almost any time,
But a mother-in-law should always be prepared
For almost anything she may find.
So, Mother Cready dropped in unannounced;
But as she approached her son's front door,
Suddenly it opened. "Ta Da! Do you like my happy dress?"
His young wife stood there in her 'all in all'…nothing more.
"Oh, my word!" Mother Cready exclaimed with surprise.
"Why are you naked? Are you insane?"
Just as surprised, the young wife pulled her inside.
"Please, Mother Cready…if you'll just let me explain.
You see, when Mac has had a rough day,
When he's been under a lot of stress,
Sometimes I meet him at the door
With a smile and a kiss in my happy dress.
It always relaxes him and makes him happy,
Then he makes me very happy too.
It works for Mac and me, Mother Cready;
Maybe it would work for you."
"We're too old for such." scoffed Mother Cready.
"Perhaps if we were young like the two of you."
But, on her way home, she decided
She was definitely going to try it too.
So, she bathed and put on some nice perfume,
Fixed her make-up and her hair.
She was thinking some very sexy thoughts,
But she had to hurry…no time to spare.
She heard her husband's car in the driveway;
And as he approached their front door,
She threw it open. "Ta Da! Do you like my happy dress?"
She stood there in her 'all in all'…nothing more.
She saw a little grimace cross his face,
But that was not the worst.
Then he said, "I appreciate your happy dress, my dear;
But maybe you should have ironed it first."
"Well…your 'happy dress' could use some ironing;
But my birthday suit could use some starch."
He kissed her. "Bet you and I can work it out.";
And off to bed they marched.
A slight hint of consternation was in her voice,
"Why did you tell those people I'm deaf and dumb?"
"I never said you were deaf, my Dear."
She laughed, but I kinda felt like a bum.
Hell. It was just a joke.
One evening, she asked, "Will you love me if I get chubby?"
I responded, "Of course I still love you.
It would take much more than pounds and cellulite
To make me fall out of love…it's true."
Hell. It was just a joke.
"Would you remarry if I die before you?" she asked.
I said, "No…probably not…I've been spoiled by you."
"But you've been a great husband. I think you should."
"Whatever happens, happens is the best I can do."
"If you remarried, would you play golf with your new wife?
And would you let her use my clubs?" she demanded.
I calmly smiled and said, "Your clubs are safe.
You see, my Dear…she's left handed."
Hell. It was just a joke.
Then, she whined and whined about her butt.
I responded, "Want to knock some inches off that ass?
It may sound strange, but I heard it works….
Rinse all your panties in Slim Fast."
Hell. It was just a joke.
The next day, I readied for work, took 'undies' from my drawer.
They were engulfed in a fog of white, why I didn't know.
So, I asked, "Honey! Why did you put talcum powder on my shorts?"
She slyly smiled, "That's not talcum powder. That's Miracle Gro."
Hell. It was just a joke....I guess.
So, what is my wife's most endearing feature?
Her sense of humor.... there's no doubt.
Always a smile where angst or anger might have been,
A smile I never want to be without.
Lookin' after pests
Keepin' a CLOSE eye on 'em
"Those wild animals!"
Roamin' around zoo
Searchin' for sneaky monkey
Hidin' in a tree
Zookeeper gets mad
"Where's Marty, the smartypants!?"
"He TOOK my cage keys!"
Before the "I do" she must choose
A man that does well in dance shoes
His psyche gives a clue
When employing step two
Ply him to the limit with booze
You spoiled me with gifts
You always helped me out
You said you'd always be there
You were all I was about
I eventually let my walls down
I finally let you in
It only lasted 2 months
I'm not gonna let u win
You tricked and deceived me
Everything was all just a lie
Other girls you did see
Your bulls**t I did buy
But I learned real quick
I finally caught on
I kicked you to the curb
And now your f**king gone
I'm a great, loving person
You obviously could not see
Your not gonna bring me down
Your just another faded memory
So be a cocky, selfish, dick
And chase after tail
Tell all your bulls**t lies
Cause at life you will fail
Cause when your old n gray
And there's no more drama
A lonely, sad life you'll lead
So haha F**k You, that's karma
My wife always says I'm the best
A feeling which brought me much zest
One night wild thoughts flew
In search of a clue
I wondered just who were the rest
No, we weren't a couple one expected.
"What could she be thinking", one reflected.
Yet we held an undefined attraction;
Some subconscious neuron interaction.
After weeks we gathered our composure
Time to face my parents' first exposure.
True, your looks were just a bit off kelter(sic).
Poets often live at homeless shelters.
Mother stiffened, held her throat, and gasped.
Father never moved, in shock perhaps.
Then we vowed to do what we must do.
Freight trains leave at seven, ten and two.
Gene Bourne
I told her at work I been bizzy
She got mad and threw a big hizzy
So I been in a bit of a tizzy
Tryin to fix things with Lizzy
So I say I'll come see her again
(How many weeks has THAT been?)
If I knock on her door in chagrin
I'll take a left hook to the chin
My God, you're a silly damn fool!
Nothin's changed, it's still the same rule
So re-learn it, you stubborn old mule!
***A poem I wrote several years ago after becoming an ineligible bachelor again

Of 367 respondents to a survey of Asian-American members of the American
Psychiatric Association, fewer than 16% were American-born U.S. medical
graduates, and 41% of the patients treated by this sample were minority
group members. These findings have important implications for training.
Asian psychiatrists have recently emerged as the largest visible
multiethnic minority group within American psychiatry, and increased
attention to this group may lead to its more appropriate utilization in
this country.

(via Circulation Declines Hit German Papers a Decade after America - SPIEGEL ONLINE)
The decline in newspaper circulation is now hitting Germany, a decade after the US. I remember predicting this was going to happen at a Germany conference, I think it was Next in 2009, and being told that Germans were different than Americans, and wouldn't switch to online news and entertainment. Sure.
Welcome To The Precariat
A growing slice of the US workforce is stuck in low wage temp work, even though they would like better paid full-time work. These are not the elite freelancers, selling their programming or marketing skills to the highest bidder. Instead, these folks are blocked from making a living or dependable wage.
Erin Hatton, The Rise of the Permanent Temp Economy
A quarter of jobs in America pay below the federal poverty line for a family of four ($23,050). Not only are many jobs low-wage, they are also temporary and insecure. Over the last three years, the temp industry added more jobs in the United States than any other, according to the American Staffing Association, the trade group representing temp recruitment agencies, outsourcing specialists and the like.
Low-wage, temporary jobs have become so widespread that they threaten to become the norm. But for some reason this isn't causing a scandal. At least in the business press, we are more likely to hear plaudits for "lean and mean" companies than angst about the changing nature of work for ordinary Americans.
How did we arrive at this state of affairs? Many argue that it was the inevitable result of macroeconomic forces — globalization, deindustrialization and technological change — beyond our political control. Yet employers had (and have) choices. Rather than squeezing workers, they could have invested in workers and boosted product quality, taking what economists call the high road toward more advanced manufacturing and skilled service work. But this hasn't happened. Instead, American employers have generally taken the low road: lowering wages and cutting benefits, converting permanent employees into part-time and contingent workers, busting unions and subcontracting and outsourcing jobs.
Contrast this with the work programs of Germany, where the non-professionals are trained systematically, and grown into skilled and highly productive workers: a key resource. The leadership there opted to avoid massive outsourcing of manufacturing to other countries, and instead of pocketing the profits from wage arbitrage the Germany corporations invested in their own people, driving up the wages there.
Hatton's piece details the rise of Kelly and other temp agencies, as well.
Gabriele Pauli
Gabriele Pauli (born on June 26, 1957 Schweich, Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany) is a German politician, formerly with the conservative Christian Social Union (CSU) party. She was the District Administrator for the rural districtof Fürth from 1990 to 2008.in
In 2006 and 2007, Pauli's open criticism of Edmund Stoiber, fellow CSU member and minister-president of the German state of Bavaria, led to a crisis in the party which ultimately resulted in Stoiber's resignation.[1]
On 21 September 2007, Pauli shocked the Catholic German state by suggesting marriage should expire after seven years, at which time couples could then extend or dissolve the marriage.[2]
She lost a run for the leadership of Bavaria's CSU party in an election won by Erwin Huber by a large margin. Pauli herself received only 2.5% of the votes.[3]
She left the CSU on 21 November 2007.[4] In June 2008 she joined the Freie Wähler Bayern (Independent Voters Association of Bavaria). She was one of the party's candidates for the parliament of the state of Bavaria (Landtag of Bavaria) on 28 September 2008.[5] Although she was list candidate number 8 in Central Franconia (Mittelfranken), she was ranked first by the region's voters (Bavaria has an open-list system), making her one of the two Independent Voters Association candidates elected from Central Franconia. She then ran for the European Parliament on June 7, 2009, but her party got only 1.7% of the votes across Germany.

I like the idea that marriage should be term-limited. It would save a tremendous amount of trouble, although provisions for children would have to be built into the terms.

Grad program a singular achievement for OVC alumnus
Posted: February 11, 2014
Adam Little had intended his speech to be touching but humorous. "Touching" turned out to be an understatement for one listener. His mom attended the closing ceremony for Little and his classmates in last summer's graduate studies program at Singularity University (SU) in California.
Chosen as class spokesperson, Little delivered a "Letters to Mom" speech about what he calls his life-changing experience last summer. What did Mom say afterward? "She bawled her eyes out."
Back in Guelph a few months later, Little still shakes his head over his experience this past summer.
He was still completing his DVM here last spring when he learned he'd been accepted to the SU summer program. From among several thousand applicants worldwide, he was one of 80 students from about 40 countries – and the only veterinarian — to take part in the prestigious program.
Based at the NASA Ames Research Center in Silicon Valley, the school runs curricula in emerging technologies, including biotechnology, computers, artificial intelligence and nanotechnology.
Little took part in the school's fifth graduate studies program. Launched in 2009, SU also offers executive programs and medical conferences.
The programs bring together participants worldwide to discuss and develop technologies for tackling so-called grand challenges in such areas as food, water and poverty.
Little was working in a clinical radiology rotation at the Ontario Veterinary College when he was interviewed for SU. Just being considered for the program was exciting enough, he says.
"I think I almost broke down when I found out I got an interview"— never mind being selected as class spokesperson during the closing ceremony. "I don't know how to explain it, but I had to go there."

About the ManufacturerIt's really quite simple to tell you what Oenophilia is about. As their name indicates, they are all about the love of wine - and Oenophilia products will help wine lovers have a deeper, richer wine experience. Oenophilia's humble beginnings in the early 1980s centered on the introduction of the WineAlyzer, a kit developed to introduce fledgling oenophiles to the fine distinctions among the various tastes and aromas found in wine. From this the company has grown into the nation's premiere one-stop shop for wine accessories and gifts.

Relaxing look for my wine!
Michael from Raleigh, NC– Verified Buyer
Right out of the box and onto counter. Does the job
Super cute
Shelby from Hermosa Beach, CA– Verified Buyer
I was looking for this - exactly this and couldn't believe it when it came up in AllModern. Perfect pop of color in my kitchen. Fits perfectly in my shelves. I hate to cover it up with wine bottles, but, you know, wine bottles deserve to be fashionably displayed. It's a warm orange, not garish or bright. Spiced pumpkin is the perfect color name.
Impressive Rack ;-)
Malcolm from Baton Rouge, LA– Verified Buyer
This wine bottle rack packed the most bottles in this size space of any rack I saw, while at the same time accommodating any normal-sized wine or champaigne bottle I tried. It seems well built and though it did not sit quite level, the problem was easily remedied with a small rubber stick-on foot. (The fault may well have been with the cheap particle board cabinet in which I placed it.) About the only thing I would change would be the color. Black, a shade of brown, or even white would match much more home decor than this orange-ish spiced pumpkin color, but it does it's job well and has attracted many compliments. I'm glad I purchased it!
Joyce from Rockville, UT– Verified Buyer
Very artistic and whimsical. I love the "wooden" texture and the curvy look. It goes so well with my decor! I'm really enjoying this lovely piece. It's as much art as it is practical.
Elegant and practical
Az from Brooklyn, NY– Verified Buyer
This piece is elegant and well-made. I was looking for a unique, brighter color and this certainly stands out. It looks great with the wine bottles!
Wine rack
Linda from Manalapan, NJ– Verified Buyer
We love our wine rack. It is small enough to go anywhere, yet holds many bottles. The color is perfect in my kitchen.
Coolest wine rack ever
Betsy from Holly hill, FL
Looks great! Clean, modern, and well made. Brings a cool look into the room
Fine as wine~
Valued Customer from Texas– Verified Buyer
The wine rack is just fine. It all turned out fine and good. Decent quality rack for the price.
Like a honey comb
Nicole from San Francisco, CA– Verified Buyer
This wine rack sits up on my green kitchen counter and looks great with and without wine bottles. It's a contemporary additional to a very traditional kitchen.
love it!
Michele from San Marcos, CA– Verified Buyer
its a work of art, looks great on its own!!!! Love it!

Access "Are more Symantec OST-like APIs needed?"
This article is part of the Vol. 9 Num. 4 June 2010 issue of The business case for solid state vs. disk storage
One of the by-products of the OST interface is better backup and recovery performance. Maybe that will get more backup vendors to develop their own APIs. EMC Corp. recently announced its Data Domain Global Deduplication Array (GDA) that optimizes data deduplication in large-scale environments by aggregating the data storage capacity of two of its deduplication appliances to improve throughput performance and scale. In terms of delivery, one of the key enablers of GDA's ability to distribute deduplicate processing is Symantec Corp.'s OpenStorage (OST) API technology. Symantec OST is an API for NetBackup (Versions 6.5 and higher) and Backup Exec 2010. Partners leverage the API to write a software plug-in module that's installed on the backup media server to communicate with the storage device, creating tighter integration between the backup software and target storage. In short, it's an interface that speeds up backup for NetBackup customers. The only problem with OST is that it highlights the fact that other backup vendors don't offer a similar capability. ...

While the coordinate point of the green phosphor falls a bit below the 1953 standard, it is significantly above that of the phosphor used in modern television, as confirmed by this next plot that used the same coordinate points as the plot above.
[BTW: Dexnis is basically Deksnis spelled phonetically, but it's a long story.]
This plot shows primary-color coordinate points for three contrasting standards, including the 1951 CBS Color field-sequential standard, the 1953 NTSC standard, and the modern SMPTE, which matches the '709' high def standard. My measured 15GP22 phosphor data is shown by three plus signs.
If it can be verified that program content has been generated on equipment capable of taking 1953 NTSC color, it may be possible to reproduce wide-gamut images on a calibrated CT-100, or any wideband vintage color set with a 15GP22 CRT.
In an intermediate step, here is a CT-100 screen shot taken January 27, 2007. It shows very interesting red from an NBC video shot in 1968 for "Laugh In." The DVD player is RF-linked to the CT-100 via an S-video link to an S-video VCR, which generates the channel 4 NTSC signal.
There is a consensus positing that NBC shot 'Laugh In" with the RCA TK-41 color camera. If so, there is a possibility that such vintage programming transferred to DVD is a source of authentic early color broadcast video. There are a number of questions to be raised and satisfied though. Including whether or not the video transfer to DVD used taking curves that support wide-gamut video.
There's also an ongoing investigation with an art director I know, who once taught Photoshop at a local school, to develop a process that generates wide-gamut graphics that can show off calibrated 15GP22 sets.
10 February 2007
I am building an interface that applies video directly to the control grid of the first video amplifier in a CT-100. This will be used to drive the CT-100 directly with test signals. There are at least two vintage circuits of RCA-design that TV stations used in the latter 1950's to connect CT-100's or 21-CT-55's to a colorplexer. Today, this is essentially the same 'composite' color video signal available from VCR and DVD players at the 'RCA'-type phono jack color-coded yellow.
I am using the simpler of the two, shown above, which uses a single 12AT7 on a small aluminum chassis mounted to the high-voltage cage. In an effort to remain historically accurate, the original RCA installation instructions are my guide. Rather than install the switch that was accessible from the front of the set, as shown in the vintage graphic from the article ('Fig. 5' below), I will instead use a relay to switch between TV and Video, with TV as the de-energized state. I am also considering substituting a bias supply circuit to generate -30 volts that is used by the composite interface circuit to bias the CT-100 video amplifier. The -30-volt level developed in the CTC2 for HO tube bias was used in the original RCA design.
Here next is the under-construction interface chassis being 'fitted' in the available space. As suggested by the Broadcast News article, there is adequate room when the 12AT7 is installed.
28 February 2007
Lsst weekend was spent building and bench-testing the composite video interface for the CT-100.
In my operating CTC2 chassis, the video detector circuit drives the control grid of the first video amplifier with negative sync tips that are apporximately five volts negative, with the video highlights extending about 2.5 volts above ground, for a 7.5 volt p-p signal swing, well within the capability of the interface to emulate. With a minus thirty-volt bias supply, the sync tips bottom out at minus six volts, and they are held there with changes in video by the 1N34-based dc-restorer circuit.
An easy build, but not a terminal strip in sight; you can't find one at RS anymore.
Below, another shot of the chassis location in a CT-100.
Here next is a close up illustrating the approximate gain of four of the interface, which has demonstrated adequate performance to warrent a trial installation in the CTC2 chassis this weekend.
Those three tails dipping down from the color bar traces are the markers that help identify colors.
The adventure continues...
3 June 2007
At the 2007 Early Television Convention in May, this CTC2 chassis with its composite interface --this 'jeeped' chassis -- was used in a demonstration that reproduced what viewers of color TV actually saw back in the fifties. For a report, click here .

What is Chinese Hot Pot or Chinese Fondue?
Chinese Hot Pot Cooking is a fun way to enjoy a meal together where everyone cooks his or her own food right at the table. Chinese Hot Pot, also known as Chinese Steamboat or Chinese Fondue because of its similarity to the French counterpart, is prepared in a metal pot which is placed in the center of the table. The pot is filled with simmering stock and all the ingredients are added and cooked in the broth.
Ingredients on a typical Hot Pot Recipe
Check out our Guide for Chinese Food Ingredients here, including Chinese vegetables, sauces, condiments, kinds of noodles, etc.
Cooking your Hot Pot
Traditionally, steamboats were heated with coal, but nowadays in most modern homes electric or gas hot pots have replaced the coal hot pot. We use an electric wok pot, some friends use a couple of fondue pots, others their Japanese Shabu Shabu pot, they all serve the purpose. With electric pots you must be careful with the cord, specially with kids around.
Once all ingredients are prepared and ready, they are all set raw on the table around the Hot Pot.
Ingredients are added slowly to keep the stock at a constant simmer. You can use chopsticks or small skimmers/strainers to cook the food.
The strainers are particularly useful for "fishing" your food back, remember to keep track of what you put in otherwise somebody might "steal" your food!
Hot Pot is best enjoyed at a leisurely pace, add food slowly and be careful not to overcook it. Experiment with different sauces and ingredients.
Because of the "slow pace" of the whole meal, if kids start getting too impatient, add some noodles which can be pre-cooked and can be ready in seconds.
Hot Pot is enjoyed generally in the winter months, and is often prepared for Chinese New Year. It is a fun way to share a meal together, but let me emphasize one more time, extra care must be exercised when kids are participating, the hot pot and the contents are very hot!

"When Dumb Fun Turns Nasty: Sexual Violence in Stupid Movies" by Max Thornton
I'm watching a movie called Nazis at the Center of the Earth because I want to laugh at a lousy special effect of Zombie Josef Mengele ripping a guy's skin off in one elegant motion. That's funny to me, because no one in real life gets their skin ripped off by Zombie Josef Mengele, and if they did it wouldn't look like that. The sudden inclusion of sexual violence is just grim.
We're all feminists here, so I don't need to repeat the stats, but here they are again: 1 in 6 women. 1 in 33 men.
Comical beheadings with fountains of unrealistic blood are funny to me in the way that Laurel & Hardy dropping the piano again is funny. Sexual assault IS NOT FUNNY. Jack Frost (again, the killer-snowman one, not the family film or the bizarre Russo-Finnish fairytale that was on MST3K) is rated R for "violence and gore, language and some brief sexuality." For "brief sexuality." CALL IT WHAT IT IS, MPAA.

Motives - The Weekly Focal Point - April 4
The wisdom and appropriateness of our actions can often be assessed by asking ourselves the simple question, "Why?" Of course it should go without saying that nothing can be considered biblically wise or appropriate if it is biblically prohibited. A good motive cannot salvage a sinful action, but plenty of good actions have been polluted - if not completely annulled - by a bad motive. Jesus taught us that even generous and sacrificial acts are in fact sinful when done for selfish reasons (Matthew 6:2). Regardless of the apparent "godliness" of an action, if a twisted reason is behind it, there is nothing righteous about it (Matthew 6:1; Matthew 23 . Yet frequently we take this unnecessary risk by failing to ask ourselves why we are going to do what we are about to do. We may just assume that if it is not a prohibited act, then it's fine and there is no need to go to all the work of trying to discern our motives. But God calls us to ask ourselves "Why?" "All the ways of a man are pure in his own eyes" the Bible tells us, "but the Lord weighs the spirit" (Proverbs 16:2). Our forthcoming evaluation by Christ will "disclose the purposes of the heart" (1 Corinthians 4:5). So before you go there, do this, send or post that, be sure to evaluate your reasons.
-- Pastor Mike
Few things have the capacity to shift our moods and capture our hearts like music and from the very beginning, the people of God have expressed worship to God through song. So it should come as no surprise, then, that the longest book of the Bible is actually a collection of lyrics. The book of Psalms is 150 chapters long, filled with poetry and songs from a number of gifted writers. We have taken six of the live sermons on the "most requested" songs of the Bible and put them onto DVD . Get your DVD copy of Israel's Greatest Hits for a donation of any amount this month.

I heard from the music school that a new student had signed up, so as usual, I called him to find out what level he was at, what he wanted, what his email was so I could send him a link to register with Music Teachers Helper.
It became clear soon into my phone call that this new student was hesitating at the music school's requirement that he sign up for 4 lessons to get started.
"I think I only want one or two to get started," he said.
I told him that it was a good idea to give it a few lessons to get started and see how it worked, though of course if it didn't seem a good fit, it was fine to drop out.
"I think really I only want one lesson," he said.
I said, well, we can get started with some basics in the first lesson, but the second lesson is where I see what he took in, how he did, and where to take it from there.
Then he dropped the bomb. Read more…

Researcher Fired At NSF After Government Questions Her Role As 1980s Activist
Re:Wrong Title (499 comments)
Baloney. As someone who deals with the military industrial complex on a daily basis, I know for a fact that the forms you submit to the OPM ask you in plain English "have you ever belonged to an organization dedicated to the violent overthrow of the US government" and these forms are retained by the OPM for something like 7 or 10 years, after which you are required to resubmit them. If she said "no" to the question in question, but knew that her acquaintances went to jail, something objectively doesn't add up. The best possible excuse is that she's just pathologically oblivious, not that the OPM has trumped up charges out of nowhere.
I don't have mod points to upvote so I'll brave the repost of this. This person is not a troll, they are stating facts. Omission on an SF86 is the same as a lie. Not only do they specifically ask you about groups advocating the overthrow of the government they also ask you about ANY political group affiliations.
Anyone filling out an SF86 should two simple facts: 1) the lie is always worse than the fact and 2) when in doubt WRITE IT DOWN!!! The worst that happens is you've wasted some time writing it down and wasted some time of the investigator/adjudicator.
Let's be clear: I (and thus we) do not have enough facts even from TFA to really make an informed assessment. But parent is not wrong, not a troll, and for what we do know from TFA is on-topic.

The Crossrunner has already proved controversial for being passed off as a new bike when, effectively, it's little more than a re-worked, re-styled nine-year-old VFR800 with some 'parts bin' equipment. But there's no denying that, as a concept, as a two-wheeled 'cross-over' machine, the Crossrunner simply works. It's one of the best, friendliest and truly versatile bikes around – anywhere. ...

I wanted a bean bag with a washable cover which this one has.....but on examination, I realized that all the "beans" inside are loose...how do you take the cover off to wash and keep all the "beans" contained???? Since this is for a child I don't think this is made appropriately.....
I don't know what tween who would be able to fit into this. It's probably comfortable for a toddler or a small kindergartener. For the price, I expected it to be larger. Regardless, my child still loves it. It fits with the safari theme in his room. He uses it more like a pillow to lean on, not a bean bag to sit in.
My 13-year old granddaughter was very disappointed in the bean bag. It is (was) much, much too small for an early teen-ager. We gave the bean bag away to a 7-year old, who wasn't THAT excited! Hmmmmmmmm.
