The American League is widely considered as one of, if not the best division in all of baseball. So, it should come as no surprise that the division is home to many of the game's best players at every position. Perhaps there is no better example of that than third baseman.
The AL East showcases some of the best players who occupy the hot corner in all of baseball.
Here in Boston, Red Sox are fans are no strangers to stellar third base play. Just last year, it was Adrian Beltre who had another strong year while playing third for the Sox. With the offseason acquisition of Adrian Gonzalez and Beltre's decision to move to Texas, Kevin Youkilis moved back across the diamond to his natural position at third base. He's been a rock there all season long, and he continues to do damage at the plate both in terms of run production and a tendency to seemingly always be on base.
Of course, Red Sox fans have also gotten an up-close-and-personal look at what rival teams' third basemen can do as well. Alex Rodriguez, though he continues to work back from injury, is still one of the more dangerous hitters in the league. Rodriguez remains a staple of the left side of the Yankees infield next to Derek Jeter, and when Rodriguez is going good, he's still incredibly dangerous.
The future of the third basemen in the AL East, though, may revolve around Rays third baseman Evan Longoria. Not only is Longoria considered one of the better young third basemen in all of baseball, he's also considered one of the best young players in the game, too. He's scuffled some at the plate this season (he enters the series with the Red Sox hitting .233), but he's still someone you don't want to see at the plate with the game on the line. He's also developing a reputation as a strong defensive third baseman.
Perhaps the X-factor in this discussion is Toronto's Jose Bautista. If you think that team success shouldn't play too much into the MVP discussion, then Bautista is probably your AL pick. He's put up gaudy numbers the last couple of years, and has really worked himself into one of the game's best sluggers. However, his consideration as a third baseman must be accompanied by the fact that he's only played 25 games at the hot corner this season, even starting the All-Star Game as a right fielder.

Lou Gold, a fairly frequent guest here, recently sent some fresh reflections about his life in the western Amazon city of Rio Branco, Brazil. Gold is a self-described retired ancient-forest defender. He suggested I post his piece around the December anniversaries of the birth (the 15th) and assassination (the 22nd) of Chico Mendes, Brazil's most famous rain forest defender, because, as Gold told me, "Even though it's tough times for the forest, hope for the dream is still alive."
Read on for Gold's Dot Earth "Postcard" describing how he recently came to that conclusion during his regular morning walk and meditations in the Rio Branco city park. (More reader Postcards are here; you can send one, too.)
A Dot Earth Postcard by Lou Gold
RIO BRANCO, Brazil — Very slowly is how I walk this morning. First, a stop for café and tapioca from the guy with a table of good foods on the street corner. But all is not so great. It's getting hot, by 7 a.m. too hot! Dr. Jana warned about walking in the tropical sun. My body feels challenged. I wonder if I should turn back. I choose to go on, but slowly.
I stop often to admire flowers or take photos. I come to a pretty spot in the park — lots of flowers, small pool of water, benches under a trellis covered with lavender primavera. A place for sweethearts and flirts –"PRAÇA NAMORADEIRA" says the sign. [Flirtation Plaza]. A stranger is sitting there alone talking boisterously to no one, obviously more than a little drunk. As I pass he starts singing a beautiful hymn from the syncretic Santo Daime tradition that has been my spiritual path in Brazil. I think, where else but in Rio Branco might you hear such a hymn being sung by a tipsy guy in a city park?
I pick a few orange and red and yellow flowers to place at the Saint Francis spot where I will later feed the chickens and offer a few prayers.

I had to have rhinoplasty done in conjunction with endoscopic sinus surgery due to a deviated septum and blocked sinuses from a traumatic fall as a child. I suffered from breathing problems, smelling problems, and chronic sinus infections.
My ENT performed the sinus surgery and recommended my plastic surgeon (see above) to perform the rhinoplasty part of the surgery.
The pros (one month post op) are definitely the cosmetic benefits, and I'm able to breathe much better through my nose. I am still numb a little at the tip, and my sinuses are still healing.
I cannot attest to what it is like to simply have rhinoplasty, although I can say that the pain I experienced post-op was much more severe than I had anticipated. Expect major headaches and swelling. You will not sleep well, and the headaches will last several weeks.
I am very pleased with my results so far, and can't wait to see what my nose will look like in a few more weeks. My doctor did an amazing job, and I highly, highly recommend him!

Cemeteries Families Sources
Richard Leon and Lori Lynn (Chapman) Bishop Family
From: Richard Bishop To:
F Bishop Sent: Sunday, January 05, 2003 11:00 PM
Subject: The holidays are over...
Well, things are finally settling down after the holidays. We had a good time the weekend before Christmas (Dec. 21) visiting your family. We also had get togethers with Richey's family on that Saturday evening and then with my family Sunday afternoon. We traveled back to Fenton late Sunday night. As they predicted, it snowed here Christmas Eve. Lauren and I had a chance to get out Monday afternoon to go buy a sled so we would be ready! The snow fell hard and fast and we did some sledding before heading out for our Christmas Eve dinner. The roads were pretty snowy, but we didn't have to drive far to the place we had made reservations. We had a nice steak dinner and of course Lauren and I shared a yummy chocolate dessert. When we returned home, we opened some gifts from each other. It was a nice evening just the three of us. We got ready for Santa by making cookies and setting out some carrots for his reindeer. It wasn't Daddy who we had to worry about eating all the chocolate chip cookies, it was mommy! We checked online at Norad.org to find out where Santa was and once that we saw he was getting close, Lauren was not hesitant about going to bed.
Christmas morning Lauren was so excited about all the toys Santa had left her. She especially loved the "Barbie My First Skates" and a Barbie horse. For days she slept with the horse and wore the skates along with the knee pads, elbow pads and gloves all around the house all day. Santa even left ME a DVD/VCR player and RICHEY a Mitre saw.
A beautiful day Sunday Dec. 29, it was 60 degrees. The snow had pretty much all melted so we took an afternoon trip to the zoo.
New Years Eve we stayed here in Fenton, since I worked Monday night and Richey had to work Tuesday. We took Lauren to Chuck E Cheese, a pizza place with games, kiddie rides, climbing tubes, and slides. When we got home, we watched a couple DVDs I had rented. We got Ice Age for Lauren, that was a cute movie. We put her to bed about 10:30, and then Richey and I stayed up late. New Years day we started taking down all the Christmas stuff, nothing too exciting, but you know those things just gotta be done.
I had a chance to see all the updates you have made to our webpage. It looks nice. However, Laurens Birthday is March 18th. Also, if you have time, could you take off the geocities link for Laurens 2nd birthday? Not realizing how it all worked, I deleted the pics thinking that the completed webpage would still be there. Guess not, you got to keep the pics in your files also. Saw the pic of Jennifer [(Bishop) Masterson]'s little girl, what a cutie. We don't see them, but my good friend from high school works with Amy [Bishop] at Columbia Police Dept.
So that is about it for us. Don't know when we will make it back there. Time to get some stuff done around here. Hopefully we can get some work done on our basement and widen our garage. Boating season will be here before you know it, and you won't find us home many weekends once the weather turns warm. We can't wait!!
So we have officially decided to change internet service providers. Our new email address is email@example.com we will still have the old address [firstname.lastname@example.com] probably another month maybe two, that is until our old service runs out. We had paid for a year in advance, cheaper that way.
Anyway, hope all is well there, hope this letter wasn't too long for ya! Take Care! - LORI /

Okay.. I'm surprised.. :surprise:
That said, he already has a set of winter tires in the stock 535 size.. I'd just get wheels for them, and be done with it... Unless the 16" tires are appreciably narrower, it isn't going to make much difference, anyway..
I'd double check the 16" thing with a phone call.. The stock size on the 535 is 225/50-17.. That is for the base model, not sport. Not sure I'd want to downgrade from that. Even the 528i comes with 17" standard.

Nope, all E60 cars can be fitted with 16" wheels (per TireRack), SP or not, I6 or V8, it makes no matter. That said, the situation is very much like that of my old E39, while there were 16" wheels that would fit, they were very few and far between.
Best Regards,
Remember the good old days, when 14" wheels were an upgrade?

Yeah, I was so proud the first time I bought a car with 15" wheels.
Best Regards,
>"That said, he already has a set of winter tires in the stock 535 size.. I'd just get wheels for them, and be done with it."
I'm trying to find out how much better the traction would be between 16 and 17.. probably tough to measure. Since I already have the 17s it makes sense to go with those, but since I'll have the car for many years I don't want to have worse traction every year just to save a few bucks on the tires this year.
>"I'd double check the 16" thing with a phone call.."
BMW lists 16 inch tires on the accessory page for the 2008 535i (star spoke 115), but you're right - better safe than sorry.
"I'm trying to find out how much better the traction would be between 16 and 17.. probably tough to measure."
Assuming the same section width (i.e. 225), probably impossible to measure. I've never seen any compelling evidence that proves that a winter tire of any given width and diameter will perform better if the wheel is smaller.
Best Regards,
My mistake - I was confusing the aspect ratio with the tire width. :blush:
So, given that the 16 and 17 have the same width (therefore the same traction as well), would there be any major reason to go with the 16 other than cost?
Assuming the 16" tires are sized properly, they'll be the same overall height... With 1" less wheel, the sidewall will be 0.5" taller than the corresponding 17" tire.
If you have bad potholes, or your spouse is maybe not as careful as you would like, then you do have a small amount of increased protection from pothole damage.
But, traction/winter handling improvements would probably be too small to calculate.
If you stick with 17" wheels, you'll have a lot more choices... Personally, I like my car to look just as good in the winter as the rest of the year, which is why I don't like to downsize... (but, that's just me).
visiting host
EDIT: Some people think that extra 1/2" of sidewall lets the tire flex more, and find better tracton in deep snow.. Not sure that makes sense to me, but there you have it.

Good info - thanks. Since I already have 225/50 17 tires, I guess I'll stick with those and pickup some wheels.
...at the BMW CCA Oktoberfest in Fort Worth. Great engine; lots of torque and relatively free of compression ignition rattle. I would have liked a stick but the slushbox did pretty well. The rest of the car was okay, but not really my thing. It was a european SP which had several new/unique features. The HUD worked well, but didn't supply enough info. The car also had the lane departure warning system; I guess Munich wants to attract some customers from God's waiting rooms at Cadillac and Lincoln dealerships. The handling was above average, though I still don't care for BMW's Active Steering. The SP run flats were noticeably more harsh in terms of bump/thump when compared to the 21" go flats on my B7 loaner. Go figure...
On the diesel evaluation sheet I stated:
"Put this motor in a 3er coupe with the European M Sport package and I will buy one. Put it in a 1er M Sport 5 door hatch and I'll buy two."

Wow!! Great idea!!! Will do that next time for sure. I actually ended up going with the E350 and added the AMG rims for $2000.00
I still think the 535xi is a better car, but I need something for weekly driving as I am putting to many miles on my M35x. The E 350 4 matic will be my commuter car and the M35x wil be my weekend car. The 535xi performed as well as my M35x, so I decided to go with something less powerful with better gas mileage.
Thank You again for your advice.

You could've saved a bunch of money on those wheels if you had gone to The Tire Rack's website. You can get the exact same wheels for, IIR, much less than $1K.
I actually leased it. But Thank You for the helpful information. Greatly appreciated.
harryha Posts: 22007 530xi with standard radio. If I turn off the car with a CD in the dash, when I restart the car, it has gone to a completely different place on the CD. This is true whether or not I pause the CD before shutting off the car. This issue is compounded by the fact that the fast forward and fast reverse functions are barely faster than regular play. So, on a long track of music, finding where I was before stopping is very tedious. I know, it's a BMW so it's about driving rather than listening to music. But does anyone know a fix or technique to keep this from happening?
I think this is a known issue, and is fixed with a software update. I'd call your dealer.
bruceomega Posts: 250I'm curious to know if anyone else saw the write up on the 535i in the Nov 07 issue of Sports Car International, as an inset in their article on the '08 CTS. If so, I was wondering what you thought about the critcism of the ride and handling of the 535i, which had the sports package.
I'm not familiar with this magazine, or their reputation, but they apparently liked the ride and handling of the CTS better, but preferred the engine and transmission of the 535i.
FYI, I have a 535Xi and think the balance between ride quality and handling is outstanding.
I spotted the Dodo bird yesterday!! I've always read the myth about it's existance, but I never thought I'd actually see one! I could NOT believe my eyes! I was 100% flabbergasted! I literally gasped and exclaimed aloud, "Oh my God!" My heart skipped a beat! I almost fell completely over!
What on Earth would cause such a reaction?? Ladies and Gentlement, I spotted... On the dealer lot... A new 550i Sport with a MANUAL TRANSMISSION!!!! Just sitting there! In the open! Unabashed! For all to see!
Actually, this is not so rare... many dealers have one or two of the higher performers in manual - when I ordered my 540 a few years ago, there were two manual 540's on the lot, (one a barely used demo).
Other than an M5, I've never seen a manual equipped 5-series that I can recall. Let alone seeing a brand new 550i. I'm still in shock.
Here is a bit of trivia for you - BMW magazine went through the production figures a few years ago, and found that the manual 540 (E39) was actually produced in fewer numbers than the M5 - Go figure.
I passed 100k miles Sunday driving back from Hilton Head. I have a 2002 530i SP, 5 speed, Euro Delivered.
After 100446 miles, I have averaged 52.5 MPH and 26.7 MPG. My costs that would have been covered by an extended maintenance/warranty package was $1402.45; but the right hand mirror quit lowering when shifted into reverse this afternoon.
My costs by year are: 2002, $117.59; 2003, $43.38; 2004, $1819.35; 2005, $1741.21; 2006, $1609.38; and 2007 to date, $1940.08.
My costs by category are: Scheduled, $2240.56; Recurring, $3019.07; Damage, $621.00; and Unscheduled, $1393.06.
Additionally, my gas mileage to Hilton Head was 30.37 MPG at 80-85 MPH and return gas mileage was 30.04 (more uphill) at 80-85 MPH.
I still love the way the car rides, drives and handles; I intend to keep it another 5 years and 100k miles.

Make sure that the selector switch which controls which mirror you're adjusting is set for the driver's side, then it should lower when you hit Reverse.
My experience with a 2000 MY 528iA has been similar to yours except for a warranty repair to the Air Bag Control Module
($appx. $700 IIRC) and a non-warranty fix of the VANOS control thing-ama-jig ($1200). Other than that not much has gone wrong at 102,525 miles and counting. :shades:
2000 BMW 528i, 2001 BMW 330CiC
Interesting to hear that there are actually people out there who get to 100K! Soooo many folks talk about cost to own, then tell me that they did 50K in 5 years...
I'm at 133K in my 2003 540I. It was the last of the E39 series. I've spent a bit more, since I've done a few things like replaced the cooling system (radiator, water pump, thermostat etc) brakes a few times, and more tires than you can shake a stick at.
Unfortunately the machine has left me stranded a couple of times - Blew an upper radiator hose in my driveway, at the end of a rather spirited 70 mile run... (ok, at least it was considerate enough to wait until I got home). Alternator quit, resulting in a tow, and those water cooled alternators are NOT cheap!
I still find it the best car, even though not as reliable as my Camry.... I still glance back when I walk away from it.
Thanks for the suggestion. My wife drove some yesterday and adjusts the mirrors and seats separately instead of using the memory button.
About the mirror problem, I have the exact same model, and while it could be that the switch is incorrectly positioned, this was one of the very few problems I've had with the car (was fixed under warranty, but I'm not sure exactly what was replaced.)
Unfortunately, more recently, the climate control has acted erraticly, hoping that it is an electrical gremlin that will settle down. Ever had any problems with yours? Curiously (or maybe not), my E34 (which was still running great at 102k miles when I sold it) also had some climate control electrical problems.
I know you did not ask me, however... I'm having some issues with climate control too. Some possible solutions were suggested by Roadburner, over on the 5 series maintenance and problems board. Once I have time to chase it down I'll post what the cause was.
NY, thanks for the 411, would much appreciate any info, sdg
The mirror was the switch.
The AC fan sometimes speeds up or stops when you think it shouldn't, but it always soon corrects and I do not want it screwed up by someone trying to fix it. The radio has also increased in volume twice in 5 years, same decision.

Bows and arrows at the ready – it's time to venture deep into Sherwood Forest.
This year's pantomime at the Gordon Craig Theatre is The Adventures of Robin Hood.
Follow Robin, Will Scarlett, Little John and Much the Miller's Son as they clean up at the annual archery contest, wind up the wicked Sheriff of Nottingham and rescue the beautiful Maid Marion from his evil clutches – and all without laddering their tights!
Robin's adventures will be brought to you by Jordan Productions. The company has been creating high quality plays, musicals and pantomimes since 1993 and the same team put on Beauty and the Beast at the venue last year.
The star of our show has previously played one of the most evil characters ever to appear in soapland and he is therefore the perfect casting for the dastardly Sheriff.
Brain Capron, Richard Hillman in ITV's Coronation Street, is an award winning actor who has even won the Best Villain category at the Soap Awards.
He also has West End experience having starred as Nathan Detroit in the famous Donmar Warehouse production of Guys and Dolls.
He is joined by West End star Tracey Penn from Love Never Dies and Legally Blonde. She plays Robin Hood and the hilarious David Dobson is Will Scarlett.
Making a return to the Gordon Craig stage is Ray Griffiths, who starred as one of the seven Dwarfs in the theatre's 2010 production of Snow White.
And of course who can forget the Gordon Craig's very own Christmas institution, Paul Laidlaw, who has kept audiences entertained over the festive season in Stevenage for over 25 years!
The Adventures of Robin Hood runs from tomorrow (Saturday, December 1) to Sunday, January 27.
For show times and ticket prices call the box office on 01438 363200.

Here's everything you need to know about what happened in Survivor: One World Episode 14 — "Perception Is Not Always Reality" – who won the challenges, who was voted of, who played well, and who is on the outs. Feel free to add your notes, thoughts, and questions.
Aired May 13, 2012, covering night 36 through night 39
First Immunity Challenge winner: Kim
First Elimination: Alicia
Second Immunity Challenge winner: Kim
Second Elimination: Christina
What Happened:
- Kim suggests the next morning getting rid of Chelsea. Sabrina is surprised and thinks she is the next likable person after Chelsea, wondering of Chelsea is eliminated if she (Sabrina) would be targeted next. Alicia recognizes that to have any shot at winning, Chelsea has to go.
- Kim burdened by Immunity win. She calls Christina a "no-brainer to take to the end". Chelsea feels the most comfortable she's ever felt, appealing to Kim's friendship. Chelsea also suggests she play the Hidden Immunity Idol, making Kim wish she had never told her about it. Alicia is 100% confident she will be loyal, noting that it wouldn't be strategic to split votes with Chelsea and Sabrina.
- After Alicia is voted off, Kat whispers to Troyzan and Tarzan that Kim has backstabbed her and Alicia (after predicting out loud that it would be Chelsea).
- Returning to camp, Kim apologizes to Christina for lying to her for "a long time". Kim tells her she is one of the most resilient people she's met. Christina recognizes the perception of her and how that makes her a suitable final 3 opponent. Kim and Chelsea discuss the unfavorable possibility that Christina might win.
- Christina approaches Kim after her second win and asks flat-out if it will be her, not wanting to be blindsided. Kim tells her it is, and Christina resigns to the fact that she will be voted off, wanting to keep things peaceful. After Christina rolls over and gives up, Kim starts questioning her choice, realizing that she most likely would receive no jury votes. Tribal Council focuses heavily on Christina's unwillingness and inability to break through the Kim/Chelsea/Sabrina alliance and go to the final 3. When asked, Kim notes emphatically that she would not have laid down like Christina did and had several good arguments for staying in the game that she never made and should have because things aren't always what they seem, causing Sabrina and Chelsea to each shoot her a look.
- On the morning of day 39, Sabrina breaks down after reflecting on life. Kim reveals that her appeal to the jury will be that even though she has lied to them and voted them off, to feel sorry for her because she has no boobs left.
- At final Tribal Council, Jonas tells Chelsea that the guys all agreed she was the hottest girl playing. Christina asks Kim who she would have taken out to keep her in the game, and Kim says she felt she had a better chance against Sabrina so she would've taken out Chelsea. Christina asks Chelsea why she hates people. Jay questions Sabrina's commitment to the game, noting that her philosophy to take it easy in challenges seemed to translate to camp life. Mike tells Kim that the entire jury knows she took all of the blame for the blindsides and that time would tell if owning up completely for that was smart or stupid. Tarzan tells the girls he is thankful that they allowed him the chance to see his wife. Chelsea stops him to thank him for showing her what she should look for in a mate. Leif gets emotional and asks how his vote went down, and Kim tells him she didn't know if she can trust him. Sabrina tells him it was Kim's idea. Alicia tells Kim they played similar games and she would be "****ing bricks" if she was up there with them. Troyzan tells Kim the answer to his question of when she made the move to end his game was made would determine is she was really the player she thought she was and deserved to win – she said taking Jonas out, and he said that was not the right answer. Kat tells them that she is due for an open heart surgery and had to hide that weakness, and not to be angry because she isn't. Chelsea cries.

Pulp sales volume decreased slightly to 1,428,638 ADMTs in 2010 compared to 1,445,461 ADMTs in 2009. Average pulp sales realizations increased by approximately 50% to €591 per ADMT in 2010 from €393 per ADMT in 2009 primarily due to significantly higher pulp prices.Costs and expenses in 2010 increased to €732.8 million from €632.6 million in 2009, primarily due to higher fiber costs. Our overall fiber costs in 2010 increased by approximately 24% from the same period in 2009, primarily due to higher fiber costs in Germany resulting from lower harvesting levels, combined with increased demand for wood from the energy sector for heating and bio-energy purposes. Fiber costs at our Celgar mill increased marginally from the prior year. For 2010, we recorded operating income of €167.7 million, compared to an operating loss of €12.8 million in 2009, primarily due to higher price realizations resulting from higher pulp prices. Interest expense in 2010 increased to €67.6 million from €64.8 million in 2009, primarily due to accretion expense related to the exchange of our convertible notes, partially offset by reduced levels of debt associated with our Stendal mill. Our Stendal mill recorded an unrealized gain of €1.9 million on its interest rate derivatives at the end of 2010, compared to an unrealized loss of €5.8 million last year due to a small increase in European interest rates. We recorded a foreign exchange loss on our debt of €6.1 million in 2010, compared to a gain of €2.7 million in 2009. In 2010, the noncontrolling shareholder's interest in the Stendal mill's income was €8.5 million, compared to €9.9 million of the Stendal mill's loss last year. In 2010, Operating EBITDA increased fivefold to €224.0 million from €41.4 million in 2009. For a definition of Operating EBITDA, see page 4 of this press release and for a reconciliation of net income to Operating EBITDA, see page 8 of the financial tables included in this press release.

text: Anderson Gallery opens fall exhibitions By Traci Garland Anderson Gallery (804) 828-1524 email@example.com Wednesday, Sept. 4, 2013 The fall season brings an array of exhibitions to the Anderson Gallery, representing diverse approaches to material, form and content. Visitors will encounter works on paper by the groundbreaking feminist artist and anti-war activist Nancy Spero, and works by two School of the Arts faculty members – Bohyun Yoon, a newly appointed professor in the glass program of the Department of Craft/Material Studies, and Hilary Wilder, an associate professor in the Department of Painting and Printmaking. The gallery also will screen an international selection of videos by 35 artists that reinforces the far-reaching importance of this medium around the globe. All exhibitions will open on Friday evening, Sept. 6, from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m., with a free public reception. They continue through Dec. 8. The Anderson Gallery is the exhibition space of the Virginia Commonwealth University School of the Arts. Nancy Spero: Towards Liberation One of the first opportunities in the United States to revisit Spero's work since her death in 2009, this exhibition features two dozen rarely seen collages from the 1980s and '90s. These works reveal the artist's innovative approach to printmaking in scroll-like expanses of paper, as well as her lifelong engagement with contemporary political, social and cultural issues. Spero decided to make women the sole subject of her artwork from 1976 onwards, drawing from different cultures, histories and mythologies to create a heterodox pantheon of female archetypes. During the period addressed here, she continued to pay special attention to women as victims of war, furthering the investigation she began so powerfully in her War Series (1966-1970). In one group of works, she unflinchingly probes the torments resulting from oppressive regimes in Argentina, Nicaragua, El Salvador and South Africa. Spero's work from the 1990s, however, acquires a greater sense of agency and optimism as she removed her figures from historical contexts of suffering and subordination, transforming them into resilient, celebratory protagonists through color, rhythm and humor. Bohyun Yoon: Neighbors Bohyun Yoon uses the special properties of glass and the play of light and shadow to create installation, sound and video works that often incorporate performance and the body. His fascination with cultural diversity, sparked by his 2001 move to the U.S. from Korea and Japan, gave rise to "Neighbors." Silkscreened onto individual glass panels, the 150 portraits that populate the installation depict individuals in the artist's former Philadelphia community. Here, Yoon reinforces such formal aspects of his medium as transparency, refraction, distortion and reflection, as he also seeks to evoke a deeper sense of human connection that supersedes physical, political and social distinctions. Hilary Wilder in the Cool Spot Lounge In an occasional series that features new, often site-responsive works by School of the Arts faculty, Hilary Wilder will unveil a large-scale painting created for the gallery's lounge. With this project, she continues to investigate the role of place, memory and desire through the genre of landscape. While Wilder's spectacularly rendered, apocalyptic landscape imagery alludes to familiar, often picturesque visual languages, particularly the Romantic depictions of nature painted by Caspar David Friedrich, J.M.W. Turner and the Hudson River School artists, she also remains skeptical of the romantic ideals they exalted in their sublime visions of an untamed America. By applying her own considerable arsenal of "painter's tricks," she brings into sharp relief the tension between fact and fiction, order and disorder, stability and chaos, and the real and the ideal that shapes human experience. Project 35: Volume 2 This exhibition presents an eclectic compilation of 35 works, selected by an international group of 35 curators, exploring video as a contemporary art medium. The series will be presented in four parts, changing every three weeks, with eight or nine videos featured in each installment. Individual works range in length from two to 26 minutes. The videos presented in this volume, produced between 2001 and 2012, explore such wide-ranging topics as protests in South Africa, youth culture in Ho Chi Minh City, news broadcasts in China and street crime in Bogotá. Recurrent themes focus on memory and change, performance and documentation, fiction and history, and notions of place and identity, as well as the power of images and the role of the media in shaping collective experience. The series also explores the diverse approaches used by video artists, including documentary, YouTube and digital animation. Screening Schedule: Part I, Sept. 7-29; Part II, Oct. 1-20; Part III, Oct. 22 to Nov. 10; and Part IV, Nov. 12 to Dec. 8. Project 35: Volume 2 is a traveling exhibition produced by Independent Curators International (ICI), New York. The exhibition is made possible, in part, by grants from The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, The Cowles Charitable Trust, Foundation for Contemporary Art, The Horace W. Goldsmith Foundation and the Robert Sterling Clark Foundation; the ICI Board of Trustees; and donors to ICI's Access Fund. The Anderson Gallery, which is located at 907 ½ W. Franklin St., is open from Tuesday to Friday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m, and on Saturday and Sunday, from noon to 5 p.m. It is closed on Monday.

This year's Precious Metal Gala takes place Wednesday, Feb. 29 at the Edmonton Expo Centre. Event organizer Eleasha Naso looks for a theme upon which to base the special evening, and this year's is Old Hollywood Glam.
"The tagline could 'back when glamour was not just a style but a way of life — when the men were all suave and the ladies elegant, and the car was part of you swagger. Whatever you pulled up in had to reflect who you were, what you were doing and what you were all about."
While the massive exposition centre allows the display of a huge selection of cars, it also adds challenges when you're trying for an atmosphere of intimacy and exclusivity.
"it's always hard to fill half a million square feet with entertainment, so try to theme the food stations and the bars. All of the servers and wait staff will also be themed for that era. We're trying to recreate the ambiance with lighting so that, when you come in — even though it's a huge, huge space — you feel like you've been thrown back into that era.
"It's all themed for 50s style and will feature the succulent fare we always have. you also get to be up close and personal with your dream cars. If you come to the show on any average day you're not going to get into a Bentley or other high-end cars. When you come to the gala you can. That's definitely one of the attractions — you get to get in the nice high-end cars.
Tickets are available online at emdacars.com/motorshow. All patrons must be 18 or older, and a dress code — business attire (no jeans) — will be in effect.
"It's not mandatory, but if you'd like to come dressed for the theme, you are more than welcome to. Women love to dress up, and it's one of those events where the who's who celebrate a social night. You get really good food, you get all of your drinks included, you get to see some of the nicest cars in Edmonton. With the music and entertainment, it's truly a night out — a nice date night or a chance to do something fun and different with your friends. It's a wonderful event.
Even the food is themed. "All those famous personalities, like Elvis Presley, Marilyn Monroe, Frank Sinatra — we've done a spin-off on what they were known for, like the martini. Whatever their fare of choice was we've done a twist that's very sophisticated and elegant. Sure, Elvis loved his cheeseburgers, but we're offering a glamourous version.
"Last year we had more than enough — people were leaving feeling stuffed. We try to space it out so everyone can find a station with foods that appeal to them."
Look for trapeze artists, hula hoop specialists, magicians and other roving entertainers.
"Back then, if you were hanging out in the clubs there would be the girls that would act as the beautiful art pieces of the club — we're recreating that kind of a feel."

Wedding Bells Ring for Woman Who Lost 106 Pounds with Isagenix
Wedding Bells Ring for Woman Who Lost 106 Pounds with Isagenix*
|Mary Sampson, a member of the Isagenix 100-Pound Club, said cleansing made the difference in her ability to finally lose weight.
While falling in love wasn't a problem for the couple, Sampson explained that her unhealthy weight of 259 pounds had been an issue. After trying several weight-loss programs that failed, Sampson said she and her fiancé couldn't believe the results she received with Isagenix.
"I've never been thin; I've tried every diet there ever was," said Sampson. "Isagenix has totally changed my life, my outlook and how I carry myself—it's just been wonderful. I'm just thrilled that I'm going to get married."
"It's great to hear such amazing success stories about our products," said Isagenix Senior Vice President of Marketing and Sales Kathy Coover. "We send Mary all of our best wishes!"
Cleansing Made the Difference
Sampson explained that what finally provided her results was Isagenix's approach to improving health and promoting weight loss through effective internal cleansing, as well as through good nutrition and safely reducing caloric intake.
"It's totally different from any other diet. I want to share it with everyone," said Sampson, whose colleagues now call asking about the program that worked for her. "There are so many gimmicks out there. People don't realize how good [Isagenix] really is."
Mary's weight-loss success earned her a spot on stage with the Isagenix 100-Pound Club at the Isagenix 2005 Celebration.
"I was nervous, but loved walking across the stage," she said.
She began with Isagenix in September 2004 after her local friend Ginny King shared her own weight-loss success story with her. Sampson said she felt healthier after she tried the products and was soon "totally hooked." She plans to continue the program for the rest of her life.
*Results may vary. In a recent study, the average weight loss for participants following the Isagenix Cleansing and Fat Burning System was seven pounds in the first nine days.


text: We live in Jersey, and in the past for my birthday we used to celebrate at a steakhouse that was reccommended here some years ago: Mignon in Rutherford. Sadly, the restaruant is now gone, and though we tried other steak houses in NJ, my wife wants to treat me to a real traditional steak house in NYC. I've heard of the usual places like Smith & Wollensky, Sparks, Peter Luger, and we'd like to try one of them. Although any other suggestion would be appreciated.

UNLV Drops Home Contest to UCSB, 79-76
Nov. 18, 2006
LAS VEGAS (AP) - Chris Devine had a game-high 25 points for UC Santa Barbara Friday night and Alex Harris added 20 as the Gauchos shot 56 percent to hang on and beat UNLV 79-76.
UNLV trailed by 13 points with nine minutes to play, but held UC Santa Barbara without a field goal for the final 5:50 and pulled within one, 73-72, with 1:12 to play.
Curtis Terry and Michael Umeh had 3-pointers for the Rebels and Wendell White scored five straight points to cap the comeback.
But the Gauchos (3-0) never relinquished the lead they took for good midway through the first half and won their third straight game to open the season.
They hit six of eight foul shots in the final minute, including four straight by James Powell to keep the lead at three points.
Powell finished with 17 points and Justin Joyner had a game-high seven assists.
The Gauchos trailed 20-19 with 10:02 to play in the first half before going on a 10-2 run. Devine had consecutive baskets in the outburst and capped the rally with a three-point play.
UC Santa Barbara would never trail again, leading 40-36 at halftime and extending its advantage to double digits four minutes into the second half.
White led the Rebels (2-1) with a career-high 24 points and a game-high 10 rebounds, while Umeh connected on six 3-pointers in scoring 22. Wink Adams added 13 points.

Springfield, VA, United States, 2009/06/25 - Best® Medical International is purchasing four cyclotrons from Best® Cyclotron Systems, Inc as an alternative to Technetium 99m.
In response to the current and profound dilemma facing the nuclear medicine community, Best® Medical International, Inc. has agreed to purchase a 14 MeV cyclotron, two 35 MeV cyclotrons, and one 70 MeV cyclotron from Best® Cyclotron Systems, Inc. (BCSI), a Springfield, Virginia corporation, so that alternatives to Technetium 99m can be readily available for medical diagnosis and treatment.
The cyclotrons will be manufactured by Best® Theratronics Ltd., 413 March Road, Ottawa, Canada and used in the U.S. for PET-CT applications and production of Pd-103, Cs-131, Sr-82 and other medical isotopes. Installation is scheduled to start in 2010 and be completed by 2013.
The present crisis in the supply of Technetium 99m for nuclear medicine procedures highlights the need for a radioisotope supply strategy that does not have a single producer and a single product, says Dr. Richard Johnson, Professor Emeritus, University of British Columbia. The Technetium 99m shortage for diagnostic imaging has alarmed the medical community, and the interruption of the nuclear reactor operation at Chalk River in Ontario, Canada has also affected the supply of radioisotopes for the treatment of diseases.
BCSI was established with the goal of designing and manufacturing cyclotrons for use in research, diagnosis, and treatment applications at universities and hospitals around the world. The company intends to offer these units to customers using flexible payment terms.

Crystal Springs Hike
by Rick Bacigalupi on December 15, 2008
For more than a century, thousands of acres on the San Francisco Peninsula have been protected as watershed lands to provide water for the city of San Francisco. Though visible from Interstate 280, those lands remain largely closed to the public. But the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission allows scheduled tours along Fifield-Cahill Ridge with trained docents and Watershed Keepers.
We took two groups of Bay Nature readers there in August 2008 as part of our hikes program.

Main Research Interests :
The research activity of our team is dedicated to the design, analysis and implementation of efficient numerical methods to solve inverse and shape/topological optimization problems in connection with acoustics, electromagnetism, elastodynamics, and diffusion.
Sought practical applications include radar and sonar applications, bio-medical imaging techniques, non-destructive testing, structural design, composite materials, and diffusion magnetic resonance imaging.
Roughly speaking, the model problem consists in determining information on, or optimizing the geometry (topology) and the physical properties of unknown targets from given constraints or measurements, for instance, measurements of diffracted waves or induced magnetic fields.
In general this kind of problems is non-linear. The inverse ones are also severely ill-posed and therefore require special attention from regularization point of view, and non-trivial adaptations of classical optimization methods.
Our scientific research interests are three-fold :
Theoretical understanding and analysis of the forward and inverse mathematical models, including in particular the development of simplified models for adequate asymptotic configurations.
The design of efficient numerical optimization/inversion methods which are quick and robust with respect to noise. Special attention will be paid to algorithms capable of treating large scale problems (e.g. 3-D problems) and/or suited for real-time imaging.
Development of prototype softwares for precise applications or tutorial toolboxes.

how can i partition around a bad sector ?
hey there,
i believe i have a problem with some bad sectors on my only installed hard disk
right now its formatted as hda1 / almost 40 gb
and hda2 /swap 250 mb
how could i find out what part of the disk is corrupt so i can format partitions around it and install linux on my computer ?
Short answer is.... dont
The drive will quite likely failure with more bad sectors, or fail completely.
Just get another new drive.
man badblocks
Also, most disk manufacturers offer diagnostics for their drives; you might want to check that out as well. Good luck with it. As a general comment, if the bad sectors are numerous, it's probably a good idea to just replace it. Like a favorite pair of Levis, you might try to patch things up once or twice, but at some point, you just need to face the fact that you need a new pair of pants
thanks, and rats !
guess i will bump over to newegg.
Why not simply do a zero write, or low level format? If its a maxtor drive, go to maxtors site and get the disc tools. Other manufacturers have versions for their hard drives.
ok, i dont know if its a maxtor drive but i can open the case and look. no problem.
is there a command line tool that will let me do a zero write ? the hard drive is only a year and a half old. will a zero write fix bad sectors ?
thanks, by the way.
not like replacing it would be too much, but 40 bucks is 40 bucks, right ?
I don't know if it's worth the $89, but SpinRite has quite a reputation for repairing damaged harddisks. May be worth giving a try.
probably a good idea, but not cost effective for me right now. i have all the data backed up. (thankfully) and right now its even operating, even though there is a 500 meg partition that i set up that i am not using right now. no big deal, but if i can fix it, i would like to.
the tools provided by manufacturers for performing low level formats are free.
When you do a low level format, you are completely re-writing the low level of the drive. This is replacing the level written by the factory, which is why it must be the tool from the manufacturer.
On the top of the hard drive, it will say the make/model of the drive.
Linuxquestions has a tutorial on zero writing Here. It is probably worth doing a zero write before a low level format (the latter takes a seriously long time - 40GB would probably take overnight and half a day). Zero write writes every single bit on the hard drive to a 0, so there would be absolutely nothing on the drive.
looked at the tutorial, and it looks like what i am going to do first. i doubt that i will do the low level format. at all. just the zero write and see what i come up with. thanks
ok another quick question.
whatever is wrong with the hard drive stays wrong with it after i reformat with ext3.
i tried this with the ubuntu install disk to just have it reformat and install and it failed.
but after i created the "bad partition" and used a different part of the drive to mount as / ,
it worked.
is a bad block or bad sector a physical problem on the drive or is it something that the zero might can fix ?
a zero write will return all bits on the drive to 0 - a normal format would just overwrite them. As it doesnt effect all bits, it most probably wont write over the bad sector.
Where that tutorial doesnt recommend low level format (which is true) its not caused problems here. Done it twice to one disc, before i heard of zero write. If there is a bad sector, and nothing else will fix it, then it wouldnt be much to lose to try it.
solid advice, i will do the zero when i get home, and if it doesn't work, go ahead and do the low level.
maybe i will learn something. (rather fix the drive though)
thanks again
hey gents,
did the zero fill last night and it seems to have worked. i was able to install ubuntu and run some programs this morning ( couldnt do that before) so looks as if everything is going to be ok.
thanks for your help !

text: Freya! I've had her on my mind for adoption since I met her at the ferret rescue back in July, and this weekend, the ferret rescue was at Take the Plunge, and on Sunday they brought her, and, well... she's here with me now. She's a total sweetie. TINY, possibly even smaller than Porom, if not the same size. She's gonna need a custom jacket, she can't fit into any of my harnesses except Porom's custom jacket. She's also deaf, but I already have one deafie so it's no biggie., She's so much like Porom so far in mannerisms and expression.,.. but also very unique. She was making adorable squeaky noises this morning while she slept, and has already discovered what Porom knows: Barrett makes a great pillow! Barrett's gonna have a run for his money with these two little deaf divas. Pics! Hai! She's a blaze, meaning she has a mostly-white face and a white blaze going down her forehead. I think it's her first time on a harness. She was doing the bouncy harness dance. As you can see, the harness barely fits her. If she tried she could wriggle out of it quite easily. A few cute faces. I'm so happy to have her. I wanted to cut it off at three, since it's good in case one passes, and three is still a manageable amount to travel with for frolics, playdates and such. Hope you like! I'll get better pics soon when it's not rainy and gross outside.

Just in case you've been agonizing about the lack of good names for boys, Appellation Mountain's Abby Sandel presents the case for cool boy names in this week's The Nameberry 9.
Convinced there are no great names for boys?
Spend a few minutes on message boards and you'll hear the laments. "There are so many girls' names I love, but nothing feels right for our son." "Girls keep stealing all of the good names!"
This week's baby name news proves that parents are discovering plenty of great names for boys. There's no need to choose anything as outlandish as Rebel or as obscure as Theodule to find a stand out name for your son.
You will have to do your homework. In a New York Daily News article announcing that Isabella and Jayden remained the top names in the Big Apple, one mom said that they'd landed on Jayden for their 2011 baby because they "were trying to do something that was different."
Plenty of parents echo the same sentiment, surprised that our choices have expanded beyond names like Michael and Robert. Therein lies the challenge. Names like Logan and Elijah seem novel at first, but are actually pretty popular. How do you pick a boy's name that manages to be masculine and modern, interesting and not too weird all at once?
The nine newsiest names from last week all manage that feat nicely:
Lorenzo Dominic – Is Jersey Shore alum Snooki a closet name nerd? Her new son with Jionni LaValle will answer to the appropriately Italian Lorenzo Dominic. It's a great heritage pick. The couple earned even more style points when they announced their plan to call him Enzo, a lively, underused choice.
Edward Duke – Another reality television couple paired an unassailable classic with a daring middle. Edward sees less use than William or James, but he's right at home with those evergreen appellations. Duke brings to mind basketball and John Wayne. It's a tough guy middle that lends some spark to the solid Edward.
Finn Davey – The new McDermott baby might be my favorite from last week. Finn qualifies as a staple name for boys these days, along with Kai and Cole. The big news is the new baby's middle name. Tori Spelling's full name is Victoria Davey. Davey honors her grandfather, David Spelling. Tori and Dean have done a nice job of picking meaningful middles, and I love the grandfather-to-granddaughter, mother-to-son gender hopping. Finn also fits right in with siblings' names: Hattie, Stella, and Liam, and half-brother Jack.
Jack – Speaking of Jack, he's huge in the UK, but still not quite epidemic in the US. Jackson is actually more popular. Anna Faris and Chris Pratt went with just Jack for their new son.
Miles Crosby – Great names aren't reserved for celebrities. Miles Crosby popped up in the birth announcements at Names for Real. Like Finn Davey, there's an unexpected surname in the middle spot, and I think ends-in-y middles work better than most of us realize. Miles is another rising favorite. He's a little bit colonial, a little bit jazzy.
Beck Martin – Beck's parents wrote to Swistle for help naming baby #2. No wonder they're in a bind – their firstborn's name is really quite perfect! Beck is less expected than Jack or Ben, but fits right in circa 2012. Martin is a family surname, and also feels like a great way to ground the bold Beck.
Arthur Gerard Wayne – Some of the most intriguing options are the names that we're not using. File Arthur with Edward – classics that are just starting their comebacks. Arthur has been popping up more and more lately. I found this combination in the July birth announcements at Waltzing More than Matilda.
Rory – British Baby Names discussed the top names in Northern Ireland. Jack remains #1, but there are some kelly green possibilities farther down the list, like Rory, Calum, and Cian. Are you ready for the next wave of imports? They're terribly dashing.
Pilot – Call me crazy, but I don't think that Jason Lee and Beth Riesgraf were completely out there when they named their son Pilot. In a recent poll, I was surprised by how many people feel the same way. It's an occupation, and the idea of piloting a ship makes him feel a little bit like a modern virtue name, like Haven or Sage. As for Inspektor? I'm not going there …
Are boys' names harder for you? Are your favorite boys' names more conservative than the ones you might consider for a daughter? And what do you think of Pilot?

Zotac GeForce GT 640 DDR3 Review: Glacial Gaming & Heavenly HTPCby Ryan Smith & Ganesh T S on June 20, 2012 12:00 PM EST
HTPC Aspects : 4K Decode and Display
From a HTPC perspective, GPUs over the last two generations have done little to tempt users to upgrade since HD audio bitstreaming became a commodity feature. The appearance of 3D TVs called for some updates from the GPU vendors, but the technology didn't really pick up at the pace that the industry wanted it to.
With the 3D craze having been milked dry, it is now the time for a new buzzword: 4K. Retina displays have become the focus of much talk, thanks to Apple's promotion, and, at Computex, we saw the introduction of products with 11" and 13" screens having 1080p resolution. It is not tough to imagine 4K resolution panels becoming commonplace in 32" and larger sized TVs and even 24" and larger sized monitors.
The one aspect that 4K has going for it is the fact that the higher resolution (when it comes to videos, at least) is unlikely to have any ill effects on the viewers' health. Unlike 3D (which caused discomfort to a number of consumers), we expect 4K to have a much smoother sailing in gaining acceptance in the marketplace. In addition, 4K is the natural step towards a more immersive experience. As such, we are more positive about 4K from a consumer as well as industry perspective than we ever were about the 3D initiative.
In terms of being an early adopter, the current issue with the 4K ecosystem is the fact that HDMI officially only supports up to 4096 x 2160 @ 24 Hz and 3840 x 2160 @ 30 Hz. For a smooth desktop experience at 4K resolution, it is imperative that we get 60 Hz refreshes at 4096 x 2160. This is scheduled to come in the next update to the HDMI specifications. It is also unfortunate that we are restricted to 4096 x 2160 as the maximum resolution, when the official 4K cinema specifications are only slightly larger at 4096 x 2304.
In any case, the Zotac GT 640 that we are looking at today is compliant with the current HDMI 4K specifications. The 4K resolution is available over all the three ports (using an appropriate DVI to HDMI converter). Both the DVI ports are also capable of carrying audio.
AMD's GCN lineup is also compliant with the HDMI 4K specifications, but it is the GT 640 which has excited us enough to talk about this in detail. While AMD's 4K hardware decode remains an unusable feature for the general consumer right now, NVIDIA's Kepler implementation fares much better.
Due to the aforementioned issues with the mini-HDMI port on Zotac's card, we tested out the 4K output over the dual-link DVI port connected to the Sony VPL-VW 1000ES through a DL-DVI to HDMI adapter.
Currently, native DXVA mode implementations tend to crash the system. However, using LAV Filters 0.50.5 in the CUVID mode or DXVA2 Copy-Back mode, we are able to decode H.264 streams with resolutions greater than 1080p using the GPU.
The screenshot above (click on the picture for full 4K resolution) shows the playback of a 4096 x 2304 H.264 stream at 24 fps.
We see that the GPU's VPU has approximately 60% load. EVR-CP doesn't load up the GPU core too much (less than 50% core utilization). Note that the maximum refresh rate possible at 4096 x 2160 is only 24 Hz, as indicated by the EVR-CP statistics. Another point to note is that the LAV Video Decoder is operating in CUVID mode.
CUVID acceleration is also possible for videos with arbitrary resolutions greater than 1080p. The screenshot below (again, click for full Quad FHD resolution) shows flawless decode acceleration of a 3412 x 1920 video at 25 fps. At 3840 x 2160 (Quad FHD), the GPU is able to drive the desktop with a refresh rate of 29.97 Hz. In this case, the VPU load is a bit lower (around 45%) as per expectations.
How well does 4K decode and rendering work with other combinations of decoders / renderers? The usage graphs below present the CPU package power, GPU core load, memory controller load, video engine load and video bus load when playing our 4K test clip (original version of this YouTube video) on a 1080p display (which is probably going to be the way that most consumers are going to enjoy 4K content for some time to come). As usual, we accept no quality tradeoffs in madVR and go with the high quality settings that we have used in previous reviews.
It is immediately obvious that the GT 640 is not in any way up to task for madVR processing on 4K content, even when it is just downscaling to 1080p. As evident from the above graph, the core is maxed out whenever we choose madVR as the renderer irrespective of the decoder used. Our suggestion is to retain EVR-CP as the renderer for all 4K content.

Really the only thing we don't have a good handle on for HTPC usage right now is video encoding through NVENC. We've already seen NVENC in action with beta-quality programs on the GTX 680, but at this point we're waiting on retail programs to ship with support for both NVENC and VCE so that we can better evaluate how well these programs integrate into the HTPC experience along with evaluating the two encoders side-by-side. But for that it looks like we won't have our answer next month.
Noooooo! Come on, post some benchmarks as it is right now. Some of us do not want to wait for AMD to get their VCE in order. People have been waiting for VCE for months and there is no valid reason to hold off NVENC waiting for their competitor to catch up. When and if VCE support comes out then run a comparison then. Reply
ganeshts - Thursday, June 21, 2012 - linkNVIDIA indicated that official NVENC support in CyberLink / ArcSoft transcoding applications would come in July only. Till then, it is beta, and has scope for bugs. Reply
Deanjo - Thursday, June 21, 2012 - linkSo? That didn't prevent them benching trinity and it's encoding capabilities despite it all being beta there.

drizzo4shizzo - Thursday, June 21, 2012 - linkSo... do these new cards still support HDTV 1080i analog signals for those of us who refuse to give up our 150lb 34" HDTV CRTs?
ie. ship with a breakout dongle cable that plugs into the DVI-I port? If they don't ship with one can anyone tell me if they are compatible with a 3rd party solution? For it to work the card has to convert to the YUV colorspace. My old 7600gt *did* support this feature, but none of the new cards mention it...
Upgrading my TV also means buying a new receiver for HDMI switching to the projector, fishing cable in walls, and all manner of other unacceptable tradeoffs. Plus monay.
Thanks! Reply
philipma1957 - Thursday, June 21, 2012 - linkI have a sapphire hd7750 ultimate passive cooled card.
This card seems to be worse in every case except it is 1 slot not 2.
The passive hd7750 is 125 usd this is 110 usd.
I am not sure that I would want this until they make a passive version. Reply

|Brief Summary
|For patients diagnosed with early (Stage I) non-small cell lung cancer, a lobe of lung is usually removed at surgery to treat the cancer. For some patients, the removal of a lobe of lung may leave too little lung behind for easy breathing. For some of these patients, it may be possible to perform a smaller-scale surgery ("sub-lobar resection") and place a radioactive implant behind to prevent the cancer from growing back. This study will see how these patients do in terms of controlling their disease treated with a radioactive implant called Cesium-131.

Love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
By Karen
from Thornhill
After reading the previous review I just had to add my thoughts. The ring is unique and I love the way it caresses my finger. The placement of the stones is a perfect punctuation to the movement of the three different metals. I wear it on my fore finger and have received countless compliments. It is a delicate ring so one must be careful in putting on and taking off.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
By The Yipper
from Toronto
I bought this ring in the garnet and it's a stunner! The garnets are deeply saturated in colour (almost a vibrant blood red). It's a statement piece that's not too big.I reduced the rating by one star because my ring came with scuff marks on the silver portion of the ring. I believe it's from shipping and since the garnet sold out, exchanging it is not an option. Still a beautiful piece.

Unique Ring But Some Design Flaws
By willowbay
from LOrignal Ontario Canada
While I do like this ring, the metals do not look as nice as they do in the TSC photo. They are bit dull and are closer together in colour so there is not such a dramatic difference betw. the colours. This was disappointing since that was one thing I liked about the ring. The amethyst stones are nice and well set. I had no idea when I bought it that the metals were so soft. I accidentally gently brushed my finger against something and the outer ring arms bent right up! I bent them back down again but it is not quite the same, and also - you can only do that so many times before metal fatigue will cause them to break off. The arms of metal are only soldered in a few places, so there is a big risk that this will happen again.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Very attractive ring
By Barbara
from Northern Ontario
I have the purple ting and love it BUT don't put your hand in your pockets - the swirl ends completely spread apart and it's really hard to push them back together. I have caught my ring numerous times - wish the ends had been soldered together. Have caught it on my couch, on my sleeve, and even in my purse. Am keeping it and will return it to the supplier for fixing when I cannot bend it back into shape. Have had lots of compliments on it and I really like it. I like to wear rings 24/7 and this one you cannot. I always forget to take it off when at home to save the frustration of having to bend it back into place.

By Susan
from Etobicoke, ON
I'm not crazy about this ring. It's very lightweight, and I'm not sure I like the combination of metals in this particular case. It reminds me of a Christmas ornament for some reason. The three metal strands are soldered at the bottom, and fan out at the top. I'm afraid if I catch it on something,the top section could easily come apart. The garnets are lovely; very rich in color. I'm sure this will appeal to others, but it's not my thing.

With the delay to the Airbus A400M in mind, as well as tight defense budgets, BAE Systems Regional Aircraft's Asset Management unit is marketing surplus British Aerospace 146-200 and -300 airliners to military customers as low-cost tactical transports under the model name BAe 146M. BAE owns 47 of the four-engine, high-wing jets, many of which are now coming off lease as airlines replace them with new regional jets.
Although the 146 does not have a rear-loading ramp, "it could be a complementary utility aircraft to hard-pressed tactical airlift assets," according to Andy Whelan, BAE sales director. BAE will soon have two 146s available with side cargo doors, which the company converted speculatively but for which it failed to find takers in the airfreight or express business. They can carry 22,050 to 26,460 pounds of payload.
The 146 already is certified for steep (meaning tactical) approaches into small airfields and can operate from unpaved runways with minimal modifications. Other mods could include additional fuel tanks, and quick-change or combi configurations. Five air forces already operate 146s or the newer RJ version as VIP or staff transports. Another 25 are in service as business jets.
BAE has quoted an "indicative" price of $2.5 million for a passenger 146 and $5 million for a freighter, and says that "innovative commercial terms" are available to governments and defense ministries. The company estimates there currently are more than 1,700 such aircraft in service with nearly 150 air arms worldwide, and many of those are more than 40 years old.
According to BAE, the BAe 146M could also be used by air forces to complement existing fleets of tactical airlifters, such as the C130 Hercules, by taking on a wide variety of nontactical air transport roles and thereby prolonging the fatigue life on aging tactical assets. It claims the BAe 146M has a performance capability that means it also can realistically undertake some of the more challenging air transport support roles, including operations from unpaved runways.
Many of the BAe 146s being offered have yet to reach half life and BAE says that, given typical military usage, the aircraft can be expected to offer reliable service for many years. As pure passenger aircraft, the jets will seat between 80 and 109, while as freighters they will carry between 11 and 12.5 metric tons (up to 27,557 pounds) of cargo. The aircraft is also well suited to multimode roles such as combinations of passenger and freight payloads, paratroop transportation, medical evacuation, forward air refueling and surveillance.
Projected delivery timescales for the 146M are quite short, allowing the aircraft to be put into service relatively quickly to meet current airlift shortfalls. BAE offers a range of modifications, such as additional fuel tanks and LCD flight deck displays.

The demand for natural beauty products has soared over the last few years - but now there are signs growth is slowing down.
According to Premium Beauty News, new research by Organic Monitor shows brands are now looking for new ways to reach consumers.
The natural and organic beauty market in North America is worth $5.4 billion, but most growth now is from outside natural food shops, according to the research.
Organic Monitor says: "Burt's Bees and Yes To brands have grown considerably in drugstores, whilst premium brands like Dr. Hauschka have become popular in beauty retailers.
"JR Watkins is focusing on multi-level marketing, whilst brands like Eminence Organic are targeting hair salons. Natural brands are also making inroads in mass market retailers, encouraging supermarkets to develop private label ranges."
Export markets are also important areas of growth, with demand rising in countries such as China and India.
"The Asian market is attractive because of healthy market growth rates and high consumer preference for western brands," says Organic Monitor.
"With a consumer market of 1.2 billion, the Chinese market is deemed the most prospective in Asia. However, few western brands have made advances because of distribution and regulatory issues."
These issues are due to be discussed at the Sustainable Cosmetics Summit in New York from May 17 to 19, which will be attended by CEOs from many natural beauty brands including Weleda.
