Robber run down in RutlandMarch 15,2013
Vyto Starinskas / Staff Photo Rutland City Police investigate a robbery on Center Street in Rutland on Friday at noon.A quick-thinking barista has been credited with saving the day in an attempted robbery at the Coffee Exchange in downtown Rutland today.
At around noon, police said Nicholas Young, 22, of Rutland, walked behind the counter at the popular bistro at the corner of Center Street and Merchants Row, grabbed a bag full of cash intended for the bank along with an employee's purse, then walked quickly from the store, according to witnesses.
In the ensuing chaos, employee Kate Barcellos bolted out the door and pursued Young down the sidewalk on Merchants Row, through the Asa Bloomer Building and onto the bus terminal under the downtown transit center.
Barcellos, who is 22 and stands 4 feet 11 inches tall, said she kept up a steady stream of shouts for help and for the man to stop.
At the terminal, three bystanders heeded her calls and tackled Young, who was taken into police custody. The purse and the bag of money were returned to the Coffee Exchange, Barcellos said.
Police said Young has been charged with felony grand larceny and two misdemeanor counts of simple assault for allegedly biting two of the bystanders who tackled him. One of the bystanders had to be taken to the hospital for treatment.MORE IN This Just InBRATTLEBORO Lauren Kaija and Miranda Johnson had two goals each to help lift Woodstock the...

The free-standing, solid boron doped microwave chemical vapor deposition (CVD) diamond electrode is expected to transform sensing technologies, allowing the development of next generation advanced electroanalysis sensing systems to benefit the biomedical, environmental, food, pharmaceutical, and oil and gas industries.
DIAFILM EA benefits from being chemically inert and stable, overcoming long-term stability issues in the harshest of environments such as in corrosive and elevated temperature and pressure operations. In many of the most demanding of electroanalysis applications, DIAFILM EA has the ability to perform thousands of cycles, whereas other electrode materials only survive a single use. This is combined with high phase purity and optimum levels of conductivity, enabling the highest level of sensitivity, selectivity and responsiveness.
With the introduction of the new DIAFILM EA, Element Six is now actively collaborating with commercial partners to enhance electrochemical sensing applications leveraging the proven performance of this next generation sensing material. With the widest solvent window of any electrode material, and the lowest background current and capacitance, DIAFILM EA is expected to transform the business economics of electroanalytical sensing systems and technologies.
"For the past decade or so, thin-film boron doped diamond electrodes have not delivered on their technical promise, as the industry has struggled to combine the necessary level of conductivity with the required phase purity," said Adrian Wilson , head of technologies at Element Six. "We have manufactured a grade of boron doped CVD diamond with the ideal optimal conductivity, combined with 100 percent phase purity to meet this market need. Given its unique properties, DIAFILM EA will advance tomorrow's sensing systems."
"The research and development of synthetic diamond as an electrode material has exposed its potential to transform the future of sensing technologies," said Julie MacPherson , professor, the University of Warwick. "Element Six's CVD diamond is an exciting material to work with, and one we've enjoyed working with throughout our six-year research collaboration with the company."
The synthetic diamond technical work was completed by the Element Six R&D team based at Ascot in the United Kingdom, and is a result of more than 15 years of research and development. Electrochemical characterization testing of DIAFILM EA was carried out by the Electrochemistry and Interfaces Group in the Department of Chemistry, at the University of Warwick.

Modern Star Atlas Symbols - Came from Where?

Otherwise, can anyone point me to a large scale high quality printed or online set of the symbols?

Posted 04 July 2013 - 05:40 PM
The GIFs they use are much too coarse to use to trace to make glyphs from. I guess it shouldn't be hard to draw them from scratch, if I can't find them in a font somewhere.

Just about all the symbols used over time on atlases and charts that are not the ones of interest are described on the Wikipedia page on Astronomical Symbols. This includes symbols used long before any of the objects on modern star charts (except stars) were even known to exist - symbols for the sun, moon, planets, many asteroids, and the constellations in the zodiac (both eastern and western). These old symbols are all now included in Unicode, BTW.
The only common symbol in star atlases for hundreds of years was for stars. It is remarkably consistent across the time period, from the samples I've seen so far: bright stars are larger and have 6, 8, or 10 points (we're talking pentagram type stars here), down to smaller 4 pointed symbol for dim stars, with the dimmest occasionally being represented by a few clustered dots - not to be confused with a star cluster, these were just to make it visible but less noticeable than a 4-pointed star. Prior to 1800, star brightness was usually, but not always, indicated in some way on all charts. So far I have seen 4, 5, and 6 different sizes indicated by different symbols in a legend. Sometimes the symbol is the same, and only the size changes.
The dominant feature in these atlases were not the star symbols, but the drawings or paintings of the figures of the constellations of the time, almost without exception - but there were exceptions, going back to Roman times.
Hevelius, I think, was the first to publish an atlas specifically of known comet paths. There were other specialized charts and drawings, but I'll skip over them.
The first object type - "nebulae" - that we usually care about on modern star atlases (besides single stars) were first popularized by Messier with his list. He put them on an atlas - but not one he drew. The one he used was a French "2nd edition" (unapproved) of John Flamsteed's 1729 Atlas Coelestis, which was based on Flamsteed's own expanded and painstakingly updated star locations (a 43-year project to be able to provide better longitude to British sailors). Flamsteed's Atlas Coelestis was the first to use the equitorial grid system. Anyway, it was Jean Fortin's 1776 revised edition of Flamsteed's 1729 Atlas, called "Atlas Celeste de Flamsteed" that Messier placed his comet and not-a-comet markings on - by hand, of course, at the telescope.
Johann Bode, in his monumental Uranographia of 1801 included over 17k stars, many more than any prior atlas, and Herschel's nebulae catalog of about 2500 non-stellar objects, the last 500 of which were just becoming available. Hershel was the first to come up with a classification system for "nebula", based on appearance in the eyepiece.
Herschel was a busy man. He also came up with 3 double star lists and a classification system for them, too. I have not found separate symbols for double stars in any atlas before 1800, either.
Bode's Uranographia may have been the first, and seems certainly the first major, star atlas to identify a catalog of objects that were at that time considered outside the solar system and also non-stellar.
Well, it's a start - I got up to 1800. More to come, I'm having fun.
Posted 05 July 2013 - 04:41 AM
I think I have the general picture now, and Glenn is right in the sense that Becvar's atlases had to be the first to have specific markings for a wide variety of stellar and non-stellar objects. Antonin Becvar's atlases were created by himself, as founder and director of the Skalnate Pleso astronomical observatory in what was Czechoslovakia, along with his colleagues and students. Atlas Coeli 1950.0 was published in 1948 in Europe.
Probably not the originator in at least some cases, but Becvar's Atlas of the Heavens (~1962?) is the earliest I recall which seems to have set the standard adopted by Tirion.
Sky Publishing bought the overseas copyright, and in 1949 the first American edition of the atlas was released entitled Skalnate Pleso Atlas of the Heavens 1950.0, and in 1958 entitled Atlas of the Heavens: Atlas Coeli 1950.0. A number of editions in different formats were published, similar to the way Sky Atlas 2000.0 is published today.
Norton could have been first, since the data was there and Norton's was first published much earlier, but the scale of Norton's atlas was never large enough. Early (e.g. 2nd ed., 1912) editions had 6 symbols for stars of mag 1-6, and one fuzzy dot denoting "Nebula". Even by 1978, 17th Ed of Norton's Star Atlas and Reference Handbook, the additional detail was symbols for stars in half-magnitudes, and along with "Nebula", there was one small symbol for "Cluster" and one for "Variable".
A major remaining question is how much consistency is there really across a number of atlases that have this detail; I would like to compare:
- Atlas Coeli 1950.0 and later editions (Becvar)
- Sky Atlas 2000.0 (Tirion, 1981 and later editions)
- Uranometria 2000.0 (Tirion, Rappaport and Lovi in the first edition 1987-1988, now Tirion Rappaport, Remaklus in the All Sky Edition)
- Millinium Star Atlas (Sinnott and Perryman, 197)
- (maybe, due to current popularity) Pocket Sky Atlas (Sinnott)
- A few of the most popular and best computer programs that produce charts
Another remaining question is how much Becvar, and perhaps Tirion, adopted symbols first introduced by more specialized earlier atlases (say for double or variable stars). While I can resolve much of the question above, on this one I would be starting from no knowledge or resource base. Maybe someone else will be interested and knowledgeable enough to make some contribution.
Asides I found interesting:
A group in England saw the need for an inexpensive star atlas for the general population, and produced one based on Flamsteed's atlas in 1833. They were not far behind Bode in adding nebulae as a feature; the legend has 5 magnitudes of stars and one symbol for "nebula". The group was called "The Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge" - a great name I think; unfortunately the Society only lasted 20 years.
Argelander's Bonner Durchmusterung was/is a catalog and atlas of 324,198 stars down to at least 9th mag on 40 plates. If you can find an image of a plate online, you might enjoy looking at it. There are no constellation lines, no denominations (Bayer, Flamsteed, etc), no nothing, except stellar magnitude is indicated by the size of the star, and the coordinate grid. This was completed in 1863, compiled completely from new visual observations! He and his co-workers followed up towards the south with more of the same, adding 24 more plates with another 133k stars (1886) and another 613k stars to get to the south pole (1932). One still finds "BD" designations identifying stars today. This seems an astonishing feat, up there with Tycho Brahe and William Herschel.
Dreyer completed and published the NGC in 1888, and IC1 in 1895 and IC2 in 1908, but no one seems to have immediately used the catalog in creating a new, more detailed atlas of non-stellar objects (that I know of) - I find that curious.
Posted 05 July 2013 - 09:57 AM
A clue might derive from the first atlas to use the circle with interior cross to represent a globular cluster. This is most definitely a modern symbol, and I do think Becvar's was the first atlas to use it. And how about double circle for planetaries; again a Becvar first? The ellipse for galaxies might predate Becvar, though.
In the main, I think a sufficient originality is found in Becvar's work to nominate him as the father of the modern star atlas. Tirion has most faithfully carried on that scheme.
Posted 05 July 2013 - 05:47 PM
If true, anybody with a Norton's between edition 9 and 17 could check. Mine is the 18th edition.
Norton redrew his charts yet again for the 9th edition published in 1943, extending the magnitude limit of the stars from 6.2 to 6.35. Positions were now given for the standard epoch of 1950, as against 1920 previously. The 9th edition charts remained in use up to and including the 17th edition of Norton's Star Atlas published in 1978

I agree about Becvar being the father of the modern star atlas. I remain curious if there is some story behind each symbol and its origin.
I think it would be convenient in a number of ways if the symbols used were standardized. The original reason for my interest wasn't directly related to star charts. I wanted to create computerized tables of objects, using current data, of the objects listed in Burnham's tables at the beginning of each chapter of BCH. His use of handwritten Greek letters and object type symbols (like those used in star charts) in the tables make them very compact, such that I could not readily reproduce them. That's where my question about if these symbols exist in Unicode (in computer fonts in a standardized way) - they do not. I think they should be proposed, though, for inclusion. Ah, well...
Posted 18 June 2014 - 11:29 AM
the query "where did the symbols come from?" implies they had a logical or denotative origin. to my mind, the question alerts us to how much artistry went into the entire conception. we have to go back to the 18th century, to fortin or bode, to find star atlases of comparable artistry -- but at the price of far less scientific utility.
the point about the symbols is that they are both visually well contrasted from each other (norton just uses a cluster of dots for all deep sky objects), and convey essential information about the object itself (angular size, surface brightness, major axis orientation, etc.).
the example of becvar indicates that cartography straddles the line between information and art. i personally would hate to see definitive standardization in this area, for the same reason that i would hate to be limited to only one style of world atlas. the symbols should be easy to reproduce without clutter and even easier to interpret visually. beyond that it's a great opportunity to exercise your imagination, however you choose to apply it.
in addition, vector based images can be scaled to any dimension (e.g., for magnitude bins) from a single base image file.
Posted 18 June 2014 - 02:20 PM
As an aside, one common and general notation for nebulae and novae that emerged in the late 1800's (Stieler's Hand-Atlas, multiple editions and a few other atlas's) was a hexagon.
What really started changing the face of symbols used was how the catalogs behind these maps became more sophisticated, differentiating different types of nebulae, stars, clusters, and so on. More categories of objects required more symbols. This really started taking off in the late 1800's, early 1900's as optics improved along with the advent of astrophotography.
As mentioned before, probably one of the big turning points in star maps was Bode's Uranographia. It was the last major work using pictorials (i.e., images that the constellations represented) and was the first comprehensive work that included a major catalog of non-stellar objects, namely Herschel's catalog. And by the way... this is a physically big book, about the size of one of the volumes of the Carnegie Galaxy Atlas. I have been fortunate to do research with one of the original 1801 editions of this atlas (and comparing it directly to an original edition of Bayer's Uranometria), and it is amazing. There are also many interesting stories behind that atlas and some of its notations.
Again... get Kanas's book.. A great reference!
Posted 28 August 2014 - 02:06 PM
I would like to thank Lee and everyone who replayed to my OP.
I have spent some time @ the University of Arizona's Library looking over all the available Sky Atlases and, as stated, the current symbols for galaxies, planetary neb and open star clusters first appears in Antonin Becvar Atlas. This makes sense when you consider that it was only in the 1920s that Edwin Hubble provided solid proof that the spiral "nebulas" were separate "galaxies" not part of the Milky Way, so a need to differentiation between Galaxies and other nebulas.
The information provided is fascinating and shows how the maps have changed to reflect our continuing understanding of what the "universe" is and made up of.
Thank you again.

Can't get enough of Girls? Lena Dunham's wry, all too recognisable take on Brooklyn twentysomething-hood kept us riveted from its first episode.
Now there's more Girls to go around… in the form of a new trailer for the show's forthcoming second season.
What happens? Kind of a lot, considering that it's less than a minute long: we see Allison Williams' character Marnie arguing her ex's new girlfriend—the one with the annoying headband affectation. Shoshanna (Zosia Mamet) cries. Jessa (Jemima Kirke) meets the in-laws she gained after hastily marrying Thomas-John (played by Chris O'Dowd, current ELLE Man of the Week) at the end of the first season.
The girls hit the club, there's some co-bathing, and Hannah, Dunham's character, comes out with at two immediately memorable quips.
'Everybody acts like I'm nuts,' she says. 'I'm not nuts. I just want to feel it all.'
And: 'I've always marched to the beat of my own drummer, ever since I cut my camp shirt into a halter top.'
We knew we liked her… Watch the trailer below.
'Girls' season two premieres in the US on 13 January

Since I first started writing articles on this site somewhere around 18 months now, I have always stressed the importance of considering all of your options in the recruiting process. It doesn't matter if they are Division I, II, III, NAIA, or anything else you can imagine. Is it really going to hurt you to fill out a Division II questionnaire? In my strong opinion, the answer to that is a definite no.
In a recent email with a prospect, I have received just about every excuse possible as to why he doesn't want to look at anything but the biggest Division I schools throughout the country. While that is a great dream, being realistic in the recruiting process is a must that will really help you in the long run. There are all the excuses in the world but never one that will answer the question of why you should not consider your options.
The first excuse that I have heard not only from this recruit but plenty of others is the fact that he has not been able to market himself well enough. If you are a senior without any offers at this point and only focused on Division I-A schools, I can promise you that you need to start stressing a great deal. It doesn't matter what college coaches are telling you. Unless there is a written offer on the table, then I would be worried about the attention and that may force you to want to broaden your search.
The reason why it is so important to broaden your search is because while every one dreams of a professional career playing the sport that you love, the chances to get that opportunity are extremely limited. Only a small number of college athletes ever get the chance to play any sport professionally, even overseas.
Because of this, the main thing you need to be looking for is a strong academic school. Yes, sports are great and I loved playing them when I was younger. But as you get older, you realize how little they mean and how you should have focused more on academics. You need to use your sport of choice as a means to a college scholarship (or at least more college aid at a smaller school than you would have gotten if you didn't play sports). If you can turn your God given gifts into less student loans when you graduate, you should be very proud.
Athletes also have what I call Division I eyes. This is when their dream growing up has been to play their sport at the Division I level. When they get to high school and have an excellent career, all they are looking at is how they are going to play Division I football or Division I basketball. They may have full ride offers from Division II schools but since it doesn't match up with what they are looking for, they pass and don't give these Division II schools the light of day.
I saw a recruit in the Class of 2008 pull really end up hurt by the Division I eyes he had. There were many solid Division II programs that were hoping to land him on the basketball court. But when these programs came calling, he either wouldn't call them back or told them he had Division I offers for another sport. Because he turned off so many Division II schools and the Division I programs ended up looking elsewhere, this recruit didn't even end up playing the sport that he loved. He picked another sport as a walk on. If he did not have those Division I eyes, he may have found the perfect fit at a Division II schools close to home.
Anyways, the moral of this article is that it is not a wise decision to focus just on one level of college programs. Yes, I would have loved to have the ability to play at a basketball program in a BCS school. But realistically, I was only good enough coming out of high school to be a Division III player. It is a hard pill for some athletes to swallow but there is likely a reason why those Division I schools are not knocking down the door. Realize that the main goal of college is to get a degree, not play at a low major Division I school just to say you played Division I basketball.
For position by position help throughout the football recruiting process, Recruiting-101 has put together a 28-page guide to help athletes get a better feel for what college coaches are looking for at each spot.

MIAMI (AP) - LeBron James and the Miami Heat are one win away
from an NBA championship. James had 26 points, 12 assists and nine
rebounds before dealing with leg cramps late, Dwyane Wade
and Mario Chalmers each scored 25 as the Heat rallied from 17
points down to beat the Oklahoma City Thunder 104-98 to take a 3-1
series lead in the NBA Finals.
NEW YORK (AP)- The Atlanta Braves thwarted the New York Yankees'
attempt to match their longest winning streak in nearly a
half-century. Tim Hudson labored through five innings but got the
victory in the Braves' 4-3 win over New York, ending the Yankees'
10-game win streak.
PHILADELPHIA (AP) - The Philadelphia Phillies' nightmare season
continues. Not only are the Phils in last place in the National
League East, their rookie infielder Freddy Galvis has been
suspended 50 games by Major League Baseball for using a banned
BELLEFONTE, Pa. (AP) - Dottie Sandusky has stood by her husband,
posting his bail, accompanying him to court proceedings and
yesterday taking the witness stand in her husband's sexual abuse
trial. Jerry Sandusky's wife testified that she remembers most of
the men who told a jury that her husband sexually abused them, but
she said he never had inappropriate contact with them as boys.
BALTIMORE (AP) - Secretariat may be the only thoroughbred in
history to set a track record 39 years after he crossed the finish
line. Secretariat's winning time in the 1973 Preakness has been
changed to reflect that the Triple Crown-winning colt's time was
actually faster than the stakes record, giving the great horse
stakes records in all three Triple Crown races - the Kentucky
Derby, Preakness and Belmont Stakes - that still stand.
Scott Sitz gave up five hits and struck out eight in a season-high 6 2/3 innings, and Florida State eliminated UCLA from the College World Series with a 4-1 victory last night at TD Ameritrade Park in Omaha. Florida State coach Mike Martin suspended infielder John Holland indefinitely after the freshman was arrested on suspicion of shoplifting at an Omaha sporting goods store. Florida State plays Arizona on Thursday, needing to beat the Wildcats twice to reach the championship round. Play resumes today as South Carolina faces Kent State in a 7:00 elimination game.
The Creighton men's basketball team has picked up their second recruit in the last two days. The Bluejays inked Darian Harris yesterday according to the Omaha World Herald. The senior-to-be from Arkansas, committed a day after 6'10 Toby Hegner of Wisconsin accepted a scholarship offer. Harris, a 6'6 guard/forward, averaged about 23 points, eight rebounds and six assists a game as a junior last season. He said he had received 15 scholarship offers. Nebraska, Oklahoma, San Francisco and Tulsa were among schools that made offers.
Freshman Lauren Sieckmann has left the Nebraska volleyball program to transfer to Wayne State. Sieckmann graduated from Elkhorn South High School in January so she could enroll at Nebraska for the spring semester. She was a three-time all-state selection and was projected to be one of the top first-year players in the nation. Sieckmann said yesterday she wants to switch from setter to hitter and that transferring to Wayne State will give her that opportunity. Nebraska coach John Cook called Sieckmann a hard worker who has a chance to make a major impact at Wayne State. He said he's sad it didn't work out for Sieckmann to play for the Cornhuskers.
Kearney Catholic has claimed their first Omaha World-Herald Class 'C' All-Sports title. The Stars were in state finals in volleyball and football in the fall and closed the school year by taking second in girls track & field and tying for second in boys golf. They totaled 79.5 points. Norfolk Catholic, which had been leading, failed to score in its spring sports, and finished second with 62. Crofton was third with 60.5. Columbus Scotus was the girls winner for the tenth time since 1995. The Shamrocks had 49.5 points while Lutheran High Northeast totaled 38 to place second. Norfolk Catholic was sixth with 30 points. In the boys standings, Lincoln Christian was the winner with 39 points. Norfolk Catholic placed fifth with 32. Lutheran High Northeast accumulated 16 points.

Visualizing Exoplanets
Sunday, June 5th, 2011 at 2:41:00
Kepler Exoplanet Candidates
by Jer Thorp
I stumbled upon this great little visualization of the exoplanets discovered by the Kepler probe, as current as February of this year. It shows us all the planets we've found so far, plotted relative against our own solar system; keeping planet sizes in scale with one another, and the sizes of orbits in scale as well.* It's a clever way to bring the scope of everything we've found so far into focus. As always, letting people 'see' information exceeds other methods by an order of magnitude.


text: Just a question about setup on the rear shock of my bike. Feels bottomless, but yet quite firm. Want more plushy feel and I am not worried about lack of propedal efficiency, comfort and confidence is what I am after. Curious if it is more in the boost valve or in the main chamber itself, and etc. Set sag with main chamber first and then started to blank around with bv. Any advice would be great.

Road test
Extend grace to the one who may seem off course but is merely the victim of appearances
I can think of five spots around town that are tricky traffic situations. I will spare you three.
One is at Rising Sun Avenue and Martins Mill Road, where if you turn right at the green light, in a very few yards you are confronted with another light, which is invariably red. Out-of-towners will be momentarily stumped. (The heart of Northeast Philly is not a good place for reflection on the vagaries of highway logic.) My friend Rich, who lives on the next block, says the correct answer is to proceed through the second light-which seems clear enough to me now that I know!
The second sticky-wicket is at Shoppers Lane near Cheltenham and Ogontz. This one is definitely a civil engineering goof. They have two left turn lanes feeding into a large parking area that serves a Shop Rite, Target, and The Home Depot-and as a matter of fact the leftmost of the two lanes leads to nowhere. (It was intended to siphon overflow parking, but that was a bad idea and they have yellow school buses parked there now.) You have to merge into the right lane at some point in order to proceed to your happy paint brush purchase.
I noticed today that the locals handle the latter situation in one of two ways. There is the group that sticks to the right, either from some upper-story rectitude (see Francis Schaeffer), or fear of the Lord, or fear of drivers in the right lane who, having made "the right choice," are now in no mood to reward you for your selfishness in trying to muscle in. The other group, a minority (usually in cars vibrating visibly with deep bass sounds), speed past the idling do-gooders on their starboard side, and manage somehow to wedge into the narrowed artery.
My concern is for the innocent alien, the Philadelphia first-timer, the unsuspecting motorist from Montana, who, heaven forbid, dutifully but ignorantly applies his brakes at the Rising Sun Avenue light after turning right at Martins Mill. He will be lucky to escape with a chorus of angry car horns-and very unlucky indeed if the incident happens after the Phillies lose (or win) a World Series.
It is well for us to remember the times when we have been out-of-towners, or had a goldfish bowl on the front seat. Or when a snake that earlier got loose from our son's shoebox suddenly started slithering out of the heating vent (which happened to me). Your fellow motorist has life complications you cannot even guess at. Could be that pregnant lady's water just broke; maybe that guy who forgot your "wave" got a bad diagnosis today; maybe that moron creating gridlock at the Tacony-Palmyra Bridge just discovered he has gephyrophobia; maybe that rude lane straddler needs to find a bathroom-quick.
And if we may be permitted to extrapolate from macadam roads to other "roads," we may perchance find in ourselves a tempered judgment toward our fellow man who seems off course but is merely the victim of appearances. My son drove up from the city on a Saturday night to go to church with me on Sunday but forgot his good shoes, and had only the cruddy, grout-encrusted boots he had worn to install ceramic tile. May the well-dressed brethren at such times remember the day when a tuna casserole destined for the post-worship service potluck spilled on their dresses and patent leathers.
And if you happened to be in that pharmacy near Lansdale when I walked in with my granddaughter and purchased candy cigarettes, they were actually not for her but for my mother, to help her quit smoking.
"Love believes all things" (1 Corinthians 13:7). These words were written because of twin left turn lanes off Ogontz Avenue, men wearing dirty shoes in church, and grandmothers caught red-handed with chalky ersatz Chesterfield Kings. They bid us consider that the person whose wind we ate eight miles back, and who now begs with plaintive eyes to let him merge, is a man from Montana, and just following the arrows in all innocence. We would want the same respect from him.

The first word that popped into my noggin when I first heard the Alpines new Sunday best was "catastrophically epic". Okay so two words, and ones that shouldn't necessarily be used together in a sentence but not even Lance Armstrong could fake liking these guys- they are in a nutshell- catastrophically epic.
Running amok in Kingston Upon Thames this London based duo features Bob Matthews (guitar and production) and Catherine Pockson (pianist, singer/songwriter); if at this point you find yourself thinking of the Ting Tings then please think again, this is by no means white trash, noooo no no no, this is - my ladies and gents - the real mccoy.
After trawling through their work with spine tingling delight, it became evident to see the heavy connotations the Alpines share with the likes of Florence & The Machine, Emile Sande and Cher (see above picture). In regards to their latest snap track - 'Lights' - The Alpines have created a wholesome tale worthy of a Hollywood movie, its earthy sentiment resonating in a place we all hold dear to our hearts and its only with the accompanied video do we begin to fall in love with the motion of a story told in verse.
I can honestly say I'm convinced. And not because the BBC tells me to be but because deep down I'm really a bit of a romantic which in reality I think we all are. Think I'm talking shit? Maybe I am, and maybe I'm still slightly wasted from last night but this is the kind of music that excites me.
Have a listen, get excited and tell all you're friends about the Alpines. Why? Because Ill Behaviour said so, that's why.

Add the simple pleasures of aromatherapy to your everyday life with our unparalleled selection of essential oils and ready-to-use skin care products — formulated from 100% pure essential oils, to provide true aromatherapy benefits for the mind, body, and spirit.
Mildly nutty, warm and sweet--like nutmeg, but more delicate--mace is the dried, lacy covering of the nutmeg seed. It's used in soups, stuffing, puddings and baked goods for flavoring and in light-colored sauces for its lovely, saffron-like color.
Botanical name: Myristica fragrans Houtt.
Mace and nutmeg both come from the fruit of Myristica fragrans, an aromatic evergreen that grows to 66 feet, with dark green leaves, aromatic flowers, and large, brownish/yellow fruit. The female trees produce the fleshy fruit that splits in half once mature. Nutmeg is the dried seed of this fruit, while the bright red, lacy covering (the aril) is the mace. Mace from the East Indies is a bolder orange, with a rich flavor, while mace from the West Indies is yellowish and a little milder.
Mace is mentioned in the Sanskrit of 600 AD. In 1191, the streets of Rome were spiced with aromatics, including nutmeg, for the coronation of Henry VI. In 13th century England, a pound of mace was valued at about the price of a sheep or cow. In the early 17th century, the Dutch took over the spice trade from the Portuguese, who were until then the main suppliers of mace; they monopolized the trade for the next 200 years. The Dutch East India Company in 1735 burnt tons of surplus nutmeg to maintain a high price.
Suggested Uses: Mace's very distinctive, warm, nutty, slightly sweet/citrus aroma and flavor is a bit more delicate than nutmeg, though similar. Mace is often used to complement shrimp, fish, meats and cheese, especially on British menus. Try a bit in soups and béchamel sauce, and in bread or rice puddings, custards, and jellies.It's also traditionally found in stuffings, patés and sausages, especially a French white sausage made with chicken and cream. In the West Indies mace is used in alcoholic punches.

Figured somebody that knows computers better than me could help me out. For some reason my fonts go all screwed up when I'm on Firefox. It's a blocky font now. Like Courier or something. I'm trying to figure out how to make it look nice like it was before. Someone switched my computer to Windows Classic Look and I tried reverting it back to Windows Vista Aero Theme but Firefox, IE, Skype and maybe some other programs are using a different font style. Does anyone know how to fix this or know what I'm talking about. Thanks.
"If you can't hear me, it's because I'm in parentheses."
Even my outlook is all screwed up with the wrong fonts. I think changing the theme screwed it all up, but when I changed back it kept the old classic look for the fonts.

Thanks for that, but that's not the problem. I think it's the overall theme of the fonts in all my windows. Really frustrating because I can't figure out how to only change that portion in my appearance options.
Alright, sorry I'm not much help.
try reinstalling firefox....uninstall it first.
My guess is the theme change and firefox didn't play well together.

Christmas Markets of Central Europe , December 2015
Melissa Woolnough
We had a great mix of people on our tour, which was majority solo travellers. The trip had the ideal mix of guided touring and free time, allowing people to explore on their own during the day, and meet up for dinner as a group in the evenings. An excellent way to travel if you're a solo traveller. Our leader was helpful, enthusiastic and a lot of fun.

Christmas Markets of Central Europe , December 2015
Scott Bradley
Worthwhile trip if you want to experience the Christmas break in the cold, with locals and people from all around the world, perusing around each of the many Christmas market stalls and trying local mulled wine and hot chestnuts. Recommend some of the optional choices including the hop on and off bus in Munich, salt mines and sound of music tour in Salzburg, museums in Vienna and enjoy a thermal bath in Budapest.

Beautiful documentary, dexmax! How is the traffic on that route?
nice shots, although the photos can't do the "climbs" much justice - in the photos looks pretty flat.
ok, so i have to admit i didn't know where "Perlas ng Silanganan" was... but it looks a lot like places i've been in Indonesia...
and looked it up and that's in the Phillipines, right?
why drive when you can ride?

is that just sarcastic or are there really any Dutch "mountains" (i don't think so) or does that refer to mountains somewhere outside of the Netherlands, like a former colony?Originally Posted by Bruco

Nathank, FYI: the Netherlands are full of long, steep climbs. They are all in my head.Originally Posted by nathank
'In the Dutch Mountains' also happens to be the title of a nice (and, yes, ironic) song by The Nits (a Dutch, sort of artsy, pop band).
never heard if the song (or at least i don't know it by name)
i really like the Netherlands and it was on my list of choice places to move in 2001: southern Germany (Munich), Switzerland (Zurich/Basel), Austria (mainly Salzburg), Holland... and i really think it's a cool place and the Dutch culture has strong support for the environment and cycling and is internationally aware... but i just *have* to have mountains nearby!! (i lived in Texas for 26 years _longing_ for mountains... my parents had moved back to Texas from Colorado a few months before i was born and i visited the mountains of CO a lot as a kid)
i spent a few days up in Leiden as well as Amsterdam in summer 2000. maybe even better for cycle-commuting than Munich!? ... but i love my mountains!

you're right.. it does look flat in the pictures.. But its steep enough to make stand(at full power) just to make the bike move.. In my fitness level and gearing(52-42T -- 12-21T), it was impossible to spin it..Originally Posted by nathank
Anyway, I didn't take pics where the climbs were steep, i was afraid I won't be able to make my bike move if i stopped.
and, yup, philippines...

... Thanks!Originally Posted by Bruco
traffic? what traffic? when going up, I didn't even see any car.. Only 1 truck installing powerlines, and it was parked..
These are remote roads.. Hardly no-one uses it..
I wasn't able to shoot much scenery, I was on a road bike.. This was as far up as I could go.. Maybe on one of my MTB trips, I'll bring my camera along.

Beautiful Pics thanks for sharing. You spin a 12 - 21 in the Philippines geehs man!
As a matter of coincidence, Leiden is where I work. The commute has been reduced to 5km when we moved to a town nearby. I am clocking my miles now on 'dedicated' training rides.Originally Posted by nathank
But... No mountains.
cool! it's a cool university town, huh? i was visiting a friend i had met in Chamonix (Paul de Boaer - hm, i should contact him again...) and my ex-girlfriend and i rented a Dutch tandem (man was that a HEAVY beast) and one day rode down to the beach... not sure, Paul was our guide and we rode LOTS but i didn't pay much attention to the routes... oh, we rode by the Heinicken brewery...Originally Posted by Bruco
i did visit the old Roman tower or whatever that is (have some pictures there) as well as the bar right there. i did not previoulsy know the Romans had been SO far north.
you should come down and do some MTBing the Alps with us! we're going to be 4 days in Lake Garda Italy for the Bike Festival and Marathon (104km 3600meters climbing) May 1st weekend.

I'm planning a move to Europe (haven't decided exactly where yet) in the next few years. I had been planning on Switzerland or France, but I seem to be hearing a lot of good things about Germany at this point in time. I hadn't realised Southern Germany was close to the mountains (I myself have discovered a love of climbing in the surprisingly hilly (by Australian standards) Gold Coast hinterland). How's the job market for accountants over there?Originally Posted by nathank

hey Chris... as to accountants in particular i don't know (i'm a software developer dreaming to be a MTB guide and ski/snowboard instructor full time...), but the economy in most of those areas Europe (France, Switzerland, Germany) is about the same. Germany supposedly had a recession that started a little later than the US (started about Fall 2001) and also supposedly better sice fall 2003... but it's nothing like it was in 199-2001...Originally Posted by Chris L
France is a great place - the climate, the culture, although i'm not a fan of the French language... Germany in also great and probably a little more open to integrating foeigners and definitely much more accomodating of English-speakers (there are actually lots of jobs in the cities in Germany where you don't have to speak German - like my first job here in Munich)... Switzerland is a different animal as it is not part of the EU. it in general is open to highly educated foreigners although i have heard the integration can be difficult and people are not open and outgoing. it is also a unique place with 4 official languages (french, german, italian and romanisch) and 3 busines languages (english, french, german)... that said, it has a very interesting government and culture and has pretty much the highest standard of living in the world - but it is also expensive.
i would personally guess that Germany would be the easiest to get a job, 2 followed by Switzerland and then France... and Switzerland might be the most difficult to adapt on a personal level. but i'm not speaking against Switzerland as it is still a possibility for me personally.
but yes, Southern Germany is close to the mountains, although much of the area is relatively flat (Munich itself is on a flat plain at 510m and on my in-town rides i get about 400m of climbing on a 3hr ride - not alot). Munich is about 50km from the small mountains (my girlfriend currently lives in a valley at 780m nestled amoung 1800-2000m peaks and she is 60km from Munich) and about 80km from "big mountains" like the Zugpsitze at 2900m... and then about a 2-hour drive from the 3000m+ peaks in Austria. now if you are talking about REALLY high mountains (>4000m) then Munich is pretty far as these mountains are all in the Switzerland/Italy/France region but then there aren't any regualr cities close to these mountains (Zurich is the closest). other cities in Southern Germany are often in/near small hills/mountains (say Stuttgart or Karlsruhe) and 50km or so from small mountains (1400-1800m)... and then 200km or so to the Alps. then there are some really cool small places near the Austrian/Swiss border like say Freiburg which is a great place in small mountains not too far from the Alps, but there are few jobs there. basically anything not in the north of Germany is not completely flat (i.e. hills directly in the area) and not THAT far from the Alps (i.e. for a weekend trip, although Munich is one of the few close enough for a weekend DAY trip to the Alps - i do it ALL the time).
anyway, if you need to knwo anything more about the area let me know. I would think if you looked at Munich, Zurich, Geneva which are the most "international" places in this region and then maybe a few other smaller places (say Basel, Bern, something in France, sorry no map here and i can't think of which French cities are near the mountains) your chances would be pretty high. one thing to remember though: although there are a lot of similarities (as a foreigner) and they are not far away, despite the EU, there is still a strong division between each -- parlty language but also historical business relationships so that for example, in Munich i have contact with companies all over Germany (many 100s km to the north) but not to Salzburg or Innsruck that are 100km to the south or to Basel that is about 300km away so closer than most Germany cities.
and cycling is very possible and supported in all three countries... probably in different ways to different levels, so hard to compare... Germans love their cars but there are bike accomodations EVERYWHERE and you don't need a car (i was car-less for 2 1/2 years to no disadvantage and we bought a car mostly since my girlfriend has a new job WAY out of town 10km from where the train line ends and she's not as dedicated a bike-commuter as you and I - 60km or 1hr train + 10km)...
of course the language is a big factor: do you prefer the German culture of Germany/Austria/eastern Switzerland or the French of France/western Switzerland? "ich kann kein Franzosich" (i can't speak French), so for me it is clear.

Green Trees? Geesh, that is wierd.
Geez, so many things to think about, I might bookmark that post and refer to it a little later, thanks! As far as the climbing goes, most of the hills around here are in the 500m-1,000m class, but all of my climbs start from sea-level. I took things up another level in Tasmania just for a taste of it (Ben Lomond was 1,450m on dirt roads), and I want more! When I'm looking at a climb, I tend to focus on height gained as much as anything else.Originally Posted by nathank
My main motivation for wanting to move over there is that I want to do some touring in Europe at some point (those climbs!), and Australia is just too far away from the rest of the world to use as a base (airfares alone would hit $2,000 each time!). I'd also be keen to experience another culture - been in Queensland for almost a decade now!
As I said, it's still a couple of years off yet, I need to get some money behind me first, and there are still a few areas in this region of the world (particularly New Zealand) that I'm keen to explore. I'd also need time to learn the language of wherever I decide to go -- given that I only speak English right now. In anycase, thanks for the info -- it's given me a whole lot to think about.
Incidentally, apologies to Dexmax for hijacking this thread. There are some nice pictures among those. Actually, some of those trees are similar to what grows in the Tweed Valley not far from here.

This is the latest ballot in indieWIRE's 2008 Critics Poll, continuing the tradition of a national survey of critics by calling attention to the year's best -- and, in many cases, most overlooked -- films, providing a meaningful counterpoint to much of the year-end hoopla. Note that some lists are unranked at the discretion of the critic. For all categories except Best Undistributed Film, eligible feature films had first-run theatrical engagements in the U.S. during 2008. Films without a U.S. distributor, screened anywhere (festival circuit, one-off screenings, etc.), are eligible in the Best Undistributed Film category. The full list of critics poll ballots is available here at indieWIRE and tabulated results are being published by indieWIRE later this month.

Note: NOT RANKED
Much of the strongest filmmaking I saw in 2008 was a triumph of style over substance. It felt as if the id was rebelling against the dominance of political (or, at least, political-allegorical) films in recent years. Movies like Speed Racer, My Blueberry Nights and Paranoid Park were cracklike hits of "pure" cinema, insisting on not representing anything other than what they were--dreamlike rushes of ripe sensation sideswiped by primal emotion. It's odd, and sad, that the two strongest movies I've seen in the last few years (excepting There Will Be Blood from this) were essentially never shown in the United States: the South Korean Secret Sunshine and the Mexican Silent Light. How is this possible? Can't some New Media genius who beams movies onto your wristwatch and your iPhone remedy this? The most heart-wrenchingly abandoned of masterpieces is Eric Rohmer's Romance of Astree and Celadon. I saw it at the Anthology Film Archives in New York with a tiny group of rain-soaked old people clutching Dunkin Donuts bags who seemed not to know what they were watching, except that it was far from the rain. The master of "what we talk about when we talk about love" creates his Twelfth Night in a mythic glade of shepherds and virgins and all anyone wants to talk about is ScarJo and Bardem wandering around tourist sites in Barcelona? They picked the wrong heartsick old dude to lionize. The Dark Knight will be remembered as the essential movie of our era, not, as some have speculated, because it constitutes a metaphor for this period, but because it processes our public experience in the most poetic possible way--as a dream where This very much does *not* represent That. Heath Ledger's Joker is not Osama Bin Laden and Bruce Wayne is not George Bush--any more than Angelina Jolie's scared Changeling mom is Cindy Sheehan. Instead, the Joker is indelible for us in that he represents both our sinned-against and sinning sides, our sore-winner self-pity and our genuine injury--as well as a spreeing, self-destructive aspect that baffles us even in ourselves. That the intensity of the character's connection to real life appears to have driven the real-life actor to madness only intensifies the movie's mythic properties. In regard to Claude Chabrol's top-to-bottom exquisite A Girl Cut in Two: are people so used to highly manicured technique that they are actually too cool for an absolutely perfect film? It has become a cliche that Iraq War movies are painfully over-earnest, dismal, and above all uncommercial. Kimberly Peirce's Stop-Loss may not have made a lot of money, but this bravura mix of Visconti and Bruce Springsteen blew away the notion of the dismal, dribbly, well-meaning antiwar indie. Volcanically passionate, and joltingly acted by a cast of green youths, Stop-Loss defined Peirce as one of the very strongest young American directors. My hat goes off to those obsessive-compulsive actors who can hoover up literally each and every possible laugh that's gettable in a scene; and if you want to see what great acting is, watch Ralph Fiennes wring uncomfortable chortles out of his pause-too-long deadpan in The Duchess, or J.K. Simmons staring uncomprehending in Burn After Reading, to see what it's all about.

According to a Dec. 20 article in The Economist, modeling church after corporate America has brought success to the United Statesâ largest congregations.
The article outlines how Willow Creek Community Church has a mission statement, a management team, a seven-step strategy and a set of ten core values. Along with MDivâs, the church employs two MBAs and several consultants and has been the subject of a Harvard Business School case-studyâthe "ultimate business accolade," according to the magazine.
Willow Creek is based on the successful businesses principle of putting the customers first, which in Willowâs case translates to a seeker-friendly environment. According to The Economist, customer-service has been to key to church growth for congregations such as Willow.
Consultant John Vaughan, who specializes in mega-churches, says growth in 2005 broke records. It was the first year an American church passed the 30,000-a-week attendance mark when Lakewood Church moved into Houston's Compaq Center. It was also the first time that 1,000 churches counted as mega-churches (those with 2,000 or more people attending).
The numbers donât tell the whole story, however. The Economist article asserts that, "rather than making America more Christian, the mega-churches have simply succeeded in making Christianity more American." Whether thatâs part of an effort to reach out or simply an imitation of society or business is up to debate.
Author and researcher George Barna, finds that imitating corporate America is not the biggest trend in most American churches, anyway. Church trends range from the spiritual to the technical, as well as age-old battles against materialism, and a changing of the guard in church leadership.
Two of Barnaâs identified trends show a clear trail back to megachurches and corporate America, however: Congregations are rapidly incorporating new technologies into their activities; and leading representatives of the Christian faith, such as Rick Warren and T.D. Jakes, understand big business models of communication and organization.
In another move that mirrors corporate America, Church Business is offering a Web seminar on strategic planning for churches. Businesses have long held yearly assessment and action meetings. Now, churches are being offered a chance to do the same with church consultant Ken Godevenos, who will offer 11 Steps to Successful Strategic Planning for Churches, January 26.
Ultimately, whether or not a business model will bring spiritual "success" may hinge upon the priorities of church ministryâsomething many congregations have wrong, according to Barna. His 2005 trend report also indicates that most congregations have left out critical ministry areas such as childrenâs ministry, family ministry and prayer. Along with business models, the growth of megachurches may also be traced to their well-developed programs in all three of these areas. Of course the clearest distinction between business and church is prayerâsomething listed as No. 1 this year in a Lifeway survey of the top 10 issues facing todayâs church.
At least one pastor is taking that priority to heart with a New Yearâs resolution to cover the country in prayer in 2006. According to Religious News Service, Rick and Jane McKinney will kick off their Walk to Reclaim America in California on New Yearâs Day, and will walk across the United States to arrive in Washington, DC, on July 4, 2006. Their purpose? Prayer.
This doesnât appear to have much to do with adopting business models for ministry, but upon further consideration, Rev. McKinney has already developed a Web site and sent out press releases for the walkâcommunication that is more big business than church business.
Then again, maybe this is what Thom Rainer would classify as a both/and situation wherein churches can adopt business models and continue to serve as the body of Christ. I just hope prayer becomes a priority on the resolutions list for churches of all sizes in 2006âwhether it happens because of a walk across America, a megachurch model, a business plan, or simple obedience.

Kamilla 18
This site is closed.
This site is closed.
As you can see from the number of entries in our individual model category, there are a lot of babes out there with their own websites. Kamilla 18 is another one in that long line of model sites and today I had an opportunity to check her out. She is a cute 18-year-old Russian chick, with long, dark hair, a thin body and a cute pair of, I'm guessing, B-cup tits with some nice nipples. She is definitely appealing, but the question is, is her site appealing as well?
The video quality is excellent on Kamilla18. Some of the movies are split up into clips, while others come in one full-length file. Also, some come in MPEG files, while most that I checked out were in Windows Media format. It doesn't matter, though, because each clip or scene I downloadedlooked fantastic and had really high quality. The same goes for the pictures, which are mostly high-res.
Unfortunately, the amount of content really favors the pictures over the videos. So far there are only 13 movies as opposed to 61 photo sets. Also, there hasn't been any new content added to the site since 2007 and it doesn't look like there's any fresh material on the way.
The content is what I would call mixed softcore. There is plenty of full nudity and the scenes range from Kamilla doing sexy stripteases to touching and caressing other chicks to playing ping-pong without pants on to just leaning back and rubbing her pussy over her panties. There is some chatting between Kamilla and other people sometimes, but unless you speak Russian it won't mean anything to you.
There is also a live cam link and when I checked it out there was a cute, topless babe chatting live. However, it wasn't Kamilla and she was just lying there chatting. She wasn't putting on a show and didn't even respond when I asked her to show me something. Unlike many other individual model sites, this one doesn't have an "about me" section or a diary/journal we can read. It is a pretty barebones site without much to do besides browse the content.
The content looks terrific, but the discontinued updates are a real sour point. The only reason to join Kamilla 18 at this point would be to gain access to the 12 bonus sites that are included with a membership. Policeman, Sasha Fucks Dasha and Ivana Fukalot are three that you can check out.
* Please include a pro and a con about the site. Balance is essential in making a comment worthwhile. Scores without comments will be deleted.
* Watch out for ratings of zero and 100. In our opinion, there is no such thing as a site that is absolutely perfect or completely worthless.

Day 28 Update - Less than 24 hours
A few things to update you on…
Less than 24 hours remain before the conclusion of the marketing competition which the AIDS Clickathon is participating. This is the last time I'll ask you to click and read the article in an effort to get the AIDS Clickathon into the finals.
The Christian and Missionary Alliance which is the parent denomination of Cypress Meadows Community Church which is the church overseeing Springs of Hope (got that ) was kind enough to post an article about the AIDS clickaon on their website. Read Online "Walkathon" Helps AIDS Victims
The Alliance is doing lots of great work all around the world to meet the physical and spirital needs of people, including those impacted by AIDS. Check out their homepage for articles and videos about that.
Last night I made a last ditch effort to try to network with some more sites and blogs that share our concern for children orphaned by AIDS. One really neat site is selling a photography book called Africa: Beginning a Journey. The photos are beautiful and procedes from the book go to support a charity helping children in Africa impacted by AIDS. It would make a great coffee table book that is certain help initiate conversations about the AIDS crisis in Africa.
