Alfredo Häberli was born in Buenos Aires in Argentina in 1964, but moved to Switzerland in 1977, where he trained as an industrial designer at the Höhere Schule für Gestaltung in Zürich, graduating in 1991. Since 1993 he has had his own design studio, with his most famous works being the stripy porcelain he designed for the Finnish company Iitalla, furniture for Mosors and furnishings for stores such as the Camper store in Paris and the Kvadrat showroom in Milan. Over the last 17 years, Alfredo Häberli Design Development has become a prestigious international design studio. Mr. Häberli has taught at design schools throughout Europe and the United States, and has participated at a host of exhibitions worldwide. He has also received a number of prestigious awards for his work. Alfredo Häberli finds inspiration for his elegant, minimalist designs in everyday life – gathering impressions into themes so he can always draw on them if he suddenly finds a use for them in a new context. His products are so ingeniously simple, they can all be described in just a few phrases. One method he uses is to keep observing his work again and again throughout the process: "Observing is the most beautiful way to think. I am constantly discovering new things in a single object," he says about his work.Extra-tall glasses rise confidently out of equally sized flat-bottomed plates in a demonstration of thoughtful design. Together the glasses stand tall, and serenely balanced. Essence has found the essential meeting points of tradition and modernity, celebration and everyday use.

I voted for Gov.Jerry Brown, and I truly believe what makes our country great is the ability for every person to succeed. Nothing is more important in achieving that goal than giving every child an equal opportunity for a quality education
We do this, essentially, by redistributing wealth from high income school districts to low income school districts, through taxation. I have no problem with that.
Gov. Brown is now proposing that not only should higher income districts pay for their own children, but they should pay significantly more for other districts' children. The key here is "equal opportunity." How is providing a school district 35 percent more funding per student "equal"?
That was not the deal I agreed to when I voted for the most recent tax increases for school funding. I am already bearing a greater share of the tax burden to increase funding. Now I am finding out my school
district won't even get an equal share of it.

_J SPACE AGE v,
%j, xKsmtu
Century 21 Exposition, the first international exposition to be held in the
United States since 1939, will open its gates to the world on April 21, 1962, in
Seattle. "Man in Space" is the theme of America's Space Age World's Fair.
For six months, a glittering projection of the world of tomorrow will be unfolded
against a backdrop of man's achievements since the dawn of the Space Age.
Five theme Worlds and the exotic Boulevards of the World will provide the
springboard for this fascinating flight into the 21st Century.
Huge pavilions are now being built; two of them are larger in size and scope
than the U.S. Pavilion at the Brussels World's Fair. They will house exhibits and
programs of major scientific, commercial and cultural significance.
The world-wide importance of Century 21 Exposition emerged dramatically in
September of 1959, when the Government of the United States appropriated $9,000,000
to become prime exhibitor.
For when President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed this bill into law, the foreign
embassies in Washington, D. C. relayed a message to their respective governments:
The State of Washington and City of Seattle will play host to a truly unique event.
In Paris, the Bureau of International Expositions gave its sanction and approval
to Century 21 Exposition, the second U.S. exposition ever to achieve this world
Today management of Century 21 is translating this opportunity into reality: an
exposition which will exceed $70,000,000 in investment.
Here is a brief inventory of progress:
1. Eighty-five nations of the world have been invited by President Dwight D.
Eisenhower to participate in Century 21.
2. National and international sales teams are signing major exhibitors for the
exposition. Offices with Century 21 representatives are active in Washington, D. C,
New York, Paris, Tokyo and Athens.
3. The $9,000,000 program of U.S. participation is the largest single appropriation ever made by Congress for a domestic exposition. A dramatic $3,900,000 U.S.
Science Pavilion will house the most extensive science exhibit ever assembled.
4. Coliseum Century 21, the State of Washington-financed pavilion designed to
display nearly four acres of international exhibits, will show how man will work, live
and play in the century ahead.
5. A Monorail, linking the downtown Seattle area with the Century 21 site, has
been engineered and contracts signed. The four-car train, of special futuristic design,
is a project of Alwac, International, and will be a prototype of high speed mass transportation of the future.
6. Century 21's Space Needle, a 550-foot tower, will rise on the highest ground
of the site as the focal point of the fair. A $2,157,000 spire with a revolving restaurant seating 220, and an observation deck, it will make a complete circle once each
hour, providing a view of the Olympic and Cascade ranges, Puget Sound and
Mt. Rainier.
7. The 74-acre complex of major buildings eventually will become one of the
world's outstanding metropolitan centers for art, recreation and convention use.

Ankh is the return to the good old days of the graphic adventure. The types of games that LucasArts popularized on the PC back in the late 1980s and early 1990s. It fits in perfectly with Maniac Mansion, Full Throttle and the Monkey Island adventure. It may use polygons instead of sprites, but if you're familiar with any of the classic games in the genre then you will feel right at home with Ankh.
Ankh tells the story of a young Egyptian boy named Assil who accidentally awakens a mummy who shows his thanks by giving him a death curse. The rest of the adventure is spent trying to figure out how to get the curse lifted so that Assil can go on living a worry-free life. Along the way he will solve puzzles, meet a whole lot of interesting (and eccentric) characters and do battle with creatures from the underworld.
You control Assil exclusively with your mouse; which means you point to where you want him to move to and solve puzzles by combining items with the left and right mouse buttons. Unless you want to save or change the options, you will never need to touch the keyboard while on the adventure. This is par for the course when it comes to graphic adventures like this, so don't expect a lot of deep game play on your journey to lift Assil's death curse. About the deepest the game play ever gets is when you double click on a location and watch your young hero run a little faster.
The game is set in the distant past, long before the invention of modern technology. But a little thing like that isn't going to stop this game from bringing up a lot of topical humor. In a lot of ways Ankh reminded me of the classic Disney animated movies, where everything is done for a laugh and the characters are way over the top. In fact, this game even starts with a song and dance number that is right out of Aladdin. The game is filled with self-referential jokes and even a few pop-culture references that don't seem as out of place as you might imagine. Almost all the dialog is played for humor, and I'll admit that I ended up laughing at quite a bit of it. It doesn't hurt that the main character is very likable and so are most of the characters you run across.
The problem with Ankh is that it's not very challenging. I ended up having no problem beating the game in four hours, which seems a tad short for this type of adventure. There are only five chapters in the game, and a couple of them won't take much more than a few minutes to finish. That's not to say that they aren't fun, but a seasoned veteran of this genre will breeze through this game without even batting an eye.
A lot of the reason why this game is so short is because the puzzles themselves aren't very tough. Nearly every puzzle in the game has you picking up an item, combining it with another item and then giving it to the right person. This isn't a bad way to make your adventure game, but it would have been nice to have a little more variety in the finished product. Furthermore, there's entirely too much backtracking through familiar locales. The world surrounding you isn't very large, so you will end up going back to the desert, back to Cairo, and back to the Sphinx a few more times than you would like. There are a few interesting locations you only see once (including an underwater area, a strange underworld and so on), but too much of the adventure takes place in a very limited world.
The game's presentation is pretty good for the most part. The graphics won't blow you away, but the characters are nice looking and the backgrounds are full of funny details. From time to time I ran into some minor glitches, including running on air and some choppy animation. This is annoying (especially since my computer far exceeds the system requirements for the game), but I can live with it and these problems are few and far between. Ultimately the graphics in Ankh won't blow you away, but it successfully captures that silly look that it's going for.
The voice acting is also very good. All of the interaction between the characters is done with voice acting, all of which fits perfectly with the theme of the game. The person that plays Assil does a great job of making him sound apathetic to this whole adventure, part of the reason that he is such a likeable character. He has a very sarcastic tone and often says things you are thinking. This is especially true as the adventure makes some preposterous turns. The story never gets too dark, though. Even the bad guys are pretty likeable.
Ankh is a fun little adventure that does a good job of bringing back a genre I thought was long dead. I wish the story was a bit longer, but it does zip right along and you will never get bored while playing it. The light-hearted nature of the game makes this perfect for younger gamers who are curious about graphic adventures. It never quite reaches the same level as those older LucasArts games, but it comes close and is a lot of fun for the few hours it lasts.

(as of September 16, 2013)
A number of New York University schools and departments have developed academic partnerships and affiliations with NYU's global sites, enabling a broad base of faculty participation in discussions regarding curriculum development, faculty hiring, and other academic and co-curricular initiatives related to each NYU global site.
An academic partnership signifies that a department or school has significant scholarly interest in a given site, and that it sponsors extensive coursework at that site. An academic affiliation indicates that a department or school offers at least one course at a given site, and is interested in participating in curriculum planning for that site.
Department or schools that are interested in pursuing either a partnership or an affiliation with a global site should contact their dean and/or department chair where discussions regarding academic partnerships and affiliations are held. Please note that at this time, as Paris is preparing for a transition to a new physical space, and there is tremendous school and departmental demand for the Paris site, we will take this year to focus on a smooth transition to the new building, and to assess fully all interest in new academic partnerships and affiliations. There will be a series of meetings this year for the Paris site, engaging those departments and schools that are interested in pursuing academic partnerships and affiliations there.
Please email the Office of Global Programs at firstname.lastname@example.com with questions, concerns, or feedback.

Hi so this one is pretty tough, i have been asking around and most people do not know what to do, maybe some experts here can help me out it would be greatly appreciated. Let me tell you the Problem:
1.I bought my iphone a couple days ago (v 2.2.1 baseband 02.30) from AT&T with a contract. I got a Turbo sim (plan on canceling At&T contract) and a brand new activated T-Mobile Sim. The first problem i had was that whenever i used my turbo sim with my t-mobile sim i would get a msg saying "Diffrent Sim Detected" i found out this was because my iphone was linked to my at&t sim so i restored my iphone without the at&t sim in it and activated it using pwnagetool 2.2.5.
2. i can now insert my turbo sim with my tmobile sim without getting the "diffrent sim detected msg" but i am still having problems with the turbo sim catching the signal. it has it for about two seconds and then it goes away and says either no service or no sim. i have tried restting network settings as well as turning off 3g and turning on data roaming. Any Ideas? also i am currently roaming on the t-mobile network could that be why the turbo sim is having troubles? please if anyone has any ideas i would really appreciate it. thanks. Oh and by the way the sim is the Gevey Plus 2

I manscape by dipping my balls in nair! It tends to hurt, but I don't use my balls a lot these days, so it evens out.
Wheew! In before this thread falls off the grid! Time to stoke this fire!
Well, since Im home watching a sick ragamuffin, bored and not willing to work on the honeydo, Ive decided to start my "Here comes SPRING!" list of things I need to buy prior to the start of spring here on the East Coast. Around this time of year, every year, I make a list of items I'll need/want around the house when the cold weather breaks in about 8-10 weeks here in Va. Soon, the loony stores here will drive up the prices on everything "warm" to make a extra buck and the local loonies will buy that stuff at outrageous prices. So to save a few bucks and the hassle of dealing with spring fever Ass****s, I start to stock up on stuff now.
First and probably most expensive goodie on Spring: 2013 list is a new gas grill. As much as I love Charcoal and Wood Grills, my bad back wont allow me to do the lifting required to properly use one so gas it is. Anyway, I usually buy a brand spanking new grill once every 3 years or so. My current grill (Charmglow aka, "Giant Piece of Stainless Steel Merda") is on year 4 because I had a triple Laminectomy on my L3/4/5 last March and was laid out until September. DO NOT BUY A CHARMGLOW OR BRINKMANN GRILLS!!! The stainless steel rusts (yep, crappy "stainless steel" will flash rust in 1 use), the flame diffusers melted, the burners cracked and the regulators broke...all after half a season. I spent more time on the phone, web and at Home Depot getting replacement parts than I did time on the grill. Garbage! Anyway, yes, I could buy a super badass Viking, Wolf or B Pride for what I've spent on grills over the past 10 years BUT I like having a new, spotless, clean, out-o-the-box grill every few years or so. Its kind of like my relationship with socks. Yes, after 6 months of wearing, washing and *whatever else* I do with them, they're still socks and still accomplish what they were designed to do BUT... I LOVE NEW SOCKS and must, must, MUST have a BRAND NEW batch every few months. Same deal I have with grills. When I find and purchase a new grill, I either sell the old one on CL, sell it at my annual yard sale (yes, yearly...its spiritually cleansing for me), give it to my Step Father and Mother or donate it to the local soup kitchen. The current old one I have is going straight to the scrap yard. Worst $500 grill on the planet. Anyway, here are the 3 I have narrowed it down to:
Weber Genesis Gas E-310 Espresso:
Shop Weber Genesis E-310 Espresso 3-Burner Liquid Propane Gas Grill at Lowes.com
I like the color and its exclusive to Lowes. I wont buy another all stainless grill again. What a pain in the ass to keep clean. This has fantastic reviews, easy to find replacement parts and its made in the good ole USA with American Steel. Right now, this bad boy is in the front of the pack in my mind.Any current owners out there? Thoughts?
Minden Grill Company MMB1000 Master Propane Gas Grill:
Minden Grill Company Minden Grill Company MMB1000 Master Propane Gas Grill, Black - Outdoor Living - Grills & Outdoor Cooking - Gas Grills
Never heard of Minden. I have NO idea how it is. Anyone?
Broil King Regal 420 Propane Grill:
Broil King Regal 420 Propane Gas Grill - Outdoor Living - Grills & Outdoor Cooking - Gas Grills
Ive heard of Broil King before but have zero idea about them. If I recall correctly, I think Broil King was a big grill company back in the 60's and 70's along with Weber which seems to have held their own over the years. Thats probably why I have lean towards Weber products. My Pops only grilled on Weber back in the day. It was the benchmark brand then and seems to be the benchmark brand 35 years later.
Any thoughts on them? Any other brand I should look at in the meanwhile? My $$$ range is from $500-$1000 with a minimum of 40K BTU and 400sq inch top. Anything else is fair game. Thanks!!!
Edit: Dont get me wrong, yes this post is slanted towards the Weber BUT I am VERY willing to give another brand a try like I did that POS, Home Depot Charmglo I currently have. Like I hinted at, I like Weber but I'm not uber brand loyal to them. Ive actually had 3 over the past 25 years with 2 of the 3 being the good ole' Charcoal Kettle. I also had a obscure Japanese brand that I absolutely adored when I lived in Hawaii. I should have NEVER sold it.
Last edited by nocturn; January 23rd, 2013 at 12:24 PM.
my husband has the weber charcoal 22.5 with side tables on it. he is/was an eagle scout so i think that has something to do with his desire to build the fire himself or whatever. he likes it a lot and i like the results when he fires it up.
I swear by my Big Green Egg XL.
I've done everything from 16 hour low-n-slow pork shoulder and brisket to ribs to whole chickens to fish to hamburgers to steaks on this thing. Let me tell you that EVERYTHING has turned out so good that I have almost completely sworn off going to barbecue restaurants of any kind. It is SUPER efficient with the lump charcoal, burning so slowly that after starting with a full fire box and doing a 16 hour, 250-degree smoke, I still have a half full firebox of charcoal. Temperature is HIGHLY and PRECISELY controllable via venting inlet and outlet air.
Their customer service is SECOND TO NONE as well. It is a high-quality, well built tool. You absolutely get what you pay for. That said, they're not inexpensive. But it WILL be the last barbecue or smoker you ever buy.
Anything worth shooting is worth shooting twice. Bullets are cheap. Life is priceless.

The A-Z Guide
Luca Turin - Author
Tania Sanchez - Author
- eBook - ePub eBook: $14.99
Pompous names, bizarre ads, hundreds of new scents a yearthe multibillion-dollar business of fragrance has long resisted understanding. At last the first criticaland critically acclaimedguide to perfume illuminates the mysteries of this secretive industry. Lifelong perfume fanatics Luca Turin (best known as the subject of Chandler Burrs The Emperor of Scent) and Tania Sanchez exalt, wisecrack, and scold through their reviews with passion, eloquence, and erudition, making this book a must-have for anyone looking for a brilliant fragranceor just a brilliant read.Cool Water (Davidoff) * * * * * aromatic fougère
This beautiful 1988 composition made Pierre Bourdon famous and was imitated more times, I'll wager, than any other fragrance in history save Chypre. The problem with successful masculines is that you associate them with the legion of aspirational klutzes who wore them for good luck. Trying to assess CW without conjuring up the image of some open shirted prat with hair gel is a bit like the Russian cure for hiccups: run around the house three times without thinking of the word wolf. This said, unlike Chypre, CW belongs to the category of things done right the first time, like the first Windsurfer and the Boeing 707. Countless imitations, extensions, variations, and complications failed to improve on it or add a jot of interest to this cheerful, abstract, cheap, and lethally effective formula of crab apple, woody citrus, amber, and musk. Now let women wear it for a decade or two. LT
L'Air du Désert Marocain (Tauer) ***** incense oriental
Eternity for Men (Calvin Klein) * * * mandarin lavender
Spellbound (Estée Lauder) * medicated treacle Powerfully cloying and nauseating. Trails for miles. Frightens horses. Gets worse. TS
Tommy Girl (Tommy Hilfiger) * * * * * tea floral
The composition miraculously turned out to fall into accords typical of native American botanicals? Put me on record as skeptical. Tommy Girl smells great, though, and has been copied relentlessly. TS
Beauty Rush Appletini (Victoria's Secret) * Jolly Rancher
"Ravishingly entertaining. . . . Its blend of technical knowledge and evocative writing is exemplary in the strict sense: people who write about smell and taste should use it as an example."

Traffic concerns raised as request for offices fails9:12 am | October 8, 2012
An Elizabethton property owner will not get to convert his two rental properties at 210 and 212 Cottage Ave. into professional office space after the request failed to gain approval from the Elizabethton Board of Zoning Appeals during its meeting Thursday.
Gerald Krafsur first made the special request to use the homes as office spaces during the September meeting, but the request was deferred because Krafsur did not attend the meeting or submit plans for the property to the planning office.
Krafsur said he has owned the homes since 2006 and 2007 and has renovated them to bring them up to the current building code standards. The offices would have a parking lot in the rear of the building so there would be no on-street parking. The parking lot would be accessed by a shared driveway between the homes and the alleyway behind the buildings. Krafsur did not have any immediate tenants lined up for the buildings.

Athletic director Jay Jacobs announced the hiring Friday night. Golloway spent the last eight seasons as Oklahoma's head coach and led the Sooners to seven NCAA regional berths, four super regionals and the 2010 College World Series.
Golloway cited coaching in the Southeastern Conference and "the history of the Auburn program" as big reasons for the move.
He also led the Oral Roberts program for eight seasons. Golloway has a career record of 681-337-1, including 12 seasons with at least 40 wins.
The Sooners won the Big 12 tournament last season and made it to a super regional. He coached No. 3 draft pick Jonathan Gray.
The Tigers have failed to make a regional for three straight seasons.
Auburn has hired Clint Myers from Arizona State as softball coach.
Myers, whose hiring was announced on Friday, led Arizona State to national titles in 2008 and 2011 and to the Women's College Series seven times in eight seasons.
Myers also led Central Arizona College to the 2002 national title in baseball and to six national championships in softball, including five straight from 1988-92.
Myers was inducted into the NJCAA Softball Hall of Fame in 1998.
He says the opportunity to coach in Auburn "was one I absolutely could not pass up."
Myers is a former baseball player at Arizona State, where he played on College World Series runners-up in 1972 and 1973. He was a third-round pick by the St. Louis Cardinals.

1992-93 Annual Report
Janet H. Johnson
The job of the senior staff of the Demotic Dictionary Project this year has been checking first drafts of entries for accuracy and completeness. In every case, all citations are checked, all references to secondary literature verified, and examples of the word used in compounds or in combination with the name of specific deities or geographical locations are added. Even for a relatively simple word this procedure involves numerous steps: first it is verified that all citations of the word from specific columns and lines of specific texts are accurate. Both the normal spelling of the word and any unusual writings are noted. All discussions of the meaning of the word, whether by the original editor of the text, by any subsequent re-editor, or by any other scholar commenting on the word or the passage, are considered and care is taken to ensure that the meaning given in the Demotic Dictionary fits every passage in which the word occurs. An attempt is made to identify both the main meaning of the word and secondary or "extended" meanings, including literary or legal nuances and the like. The ancestor(s) of the word are checked in the Wörterbuch der Ägyptischen Sprache (edited by Adolf Erman and Hermann Grapow and published, by the German Academy between 1926 and 1931) and the descendant(s) of the word are checked in the four major Coptic dictionaries, three of which discuss the etymology of the Coptic word. Since the meaning of a word used as part of a compound may not be apparent, such compounds are being included in the Demotic Dictionary; the same procedure is followed in writing these entries. Examples of the word used in connection with a divine name, a geographical name, or in a string of titles associated with an individual may indicate special associations and thus are cited in transliteration and translation, all of which must be double checked.
As an example of the type of material included in an entry, and as an example of the kind of work involved in checking the entries for accuracy and completeness, I include here one entry which was completed this year. The word w is attested in hieroglyphic and hieratic inscriptions from the Old Kingdom through the Greco-Roman period. It may mean "district, territory" in general or have the more specialized meanings "country" vs. "city," "administrative district," or "arable land." Although the word was read by Griffith in P. Rylands 9 (a Persian period Demotic petition for redress of wrong suffered by a priest and his descendants), the word was not included in Erichsen's Glossar. (Note that full bibliographic references for these and all other publications cited in the sample entry and accompanying "Text Information" are given in the accompanying "Abbreviations and Bibliography.") We include the citation from P. Rylands with references to Griffith's discussion and the discussion of another scholar who has suggested a different reading and translation of the word in question. Because there is a geographical name attested in a papyrus preserved in Cologne which begins with a word that has been read either w or w|h≥ "establishment, settlement, region," we also include cross-references to w|h≥ and the very similarly written h≥r "side."
The Wörterbuch notes that the word w is frequently found in a genitival construction indicating the geographical location of the "district." It also cites examples of the compound w-pqr, the name of the sacred district in the town of Abydos. This compound is also found in Demotic texts and is cited in Erichsen's Glossar under the entry pk in the expression w(ª)-pk. We have examples of alternative spellings of this compound and cite three examples (spelled variously w-pq, w-pky, and w-pkr|) from Roman period religious texts. In the one case where the staff of the Demotic Dictionary Project has emended the reading and/or translation of the compound, we note what the original editor's readings were and where his discussion can be found. We cite the (Old) Coptic spelling of the compound and summarize the discussion of the etymology of the term pqr in the compound. Since the compound is a geographical name, we also provide a reference to Gauthier's geographical dictionary, in which are collected examples of the term from hieroglyphic texts of all periods accompanied by a discussion of the localization of the term. In the one example from these three texts in which the geographical term w-pq is found in conjunction with the name of a deity, the passage is cited in full, giving the name and epithets of the deity.
Demotic texts contain examples of the noun w in two other compounds. Ww-[Hu]r "district of (the god) Huorus" is written partly in Demotic, partly in hieratic. The Wörterbuch reference and references both to Gauthier and Gardiner's study of Egyptian geographical terms are given. The w (nt) h≥r-Èb Mn-nfr "district (which is) in the midst of the city of Memphis" is attested only in three Ptolemaic period documents. We provide references to discussions of the reading and meaning and localization of the compound. Because every example of the word w in our corpus is included in this entry, an infinity sign is added to the initial citation, in transliteration, of the word.
Figure 1a. Sample page of the Demotic Dictionary. Figure 1b. Sample page of associated appendices. Thus, by the time the Demotic Dictionary Project staff member has finished checking this entry, he has verified nine examples of the word w, checked each for variant spelling, consulted eight secondary discussions of the word, checked six dictionaries for meaning and etymology of the word, assured himself that the meaning of the word being suggested in the dictionary fits all Demotic attestations (alone, in compounds, and in phrases together with the mention of a specific deity or the like), and provided cross-references to all other entries in the dictionary where this word, or a related word, is discussed. The final step is insertion of the facsimiles of the individual citations. These facsimiles are prepared using the computer-produced gray-scale scans which I have discussed in the last couple of Annual Reports. If the scan itself is not clear in the printout, a black and white "lineart" copy derived from the gray-scale scan is used. Future users of the Demotic Dictionary who are working from a copy of the actual computer files (i.e., "on-line" rather than in printed form) will be able to copy these gray-scale scans of individual citations to a graphics program and do further enhancement of brightness and contrast as they check details of the writing of the word.
While this checking of entries in the dictionary was being done by senior staff, other members of the staff began checking all the non-Egyptian citations in the dictionary. Throughout the period when Demotic was written, there were important non-Egyptian speaking and writing communities in Egypt; during much of this period, the official language of government was either Aramaic (Persian period) or Greek (Hellenistic and Roman periods). Foreign vocabulary, transcribed into Demotic, appears occasionally in Demotic texts. Bilingual Greek/Demotic texts or archives occasionally allow us to identify the Greek equivalent of a Demotic term; especially frequently we have Greek equivalents for Demotic geographical names. We have attempted to identify and provide appropriate references for all such foreign words. Such entries require an extra level of checking to ensure that the foreign word is cited accurately and that the suggested equivalence is correct.
The rest of the staff has been completing two appendices that will be of fundamental value to people using the Demotic Dictionary: the "Bibliography of Texts Cited" (whether primary publications or secondary discussions) and "Text Information." The latter provides, for every text cited in the dictionary, the present location of the text, the publication history of the text, the date and provenience of the text, and whether or not the facsimiles we provide are based on photographs of the text or on a hand copy published by the editor of the text. What this entry for the word w, "region," will look like is shown in figure 1a which also shows relevant materials extracted from the "Bibliography of Texts Cited" and "Text Information" appendices (fig. 1b). The final dictionary will consist of thousands of such entries and vastly expanded appendices.
This year's staff included Joe Manning, John Nolan, and myself as senior staff ably assisted by Tom Dousa, Todd Hickey, and Alex O'Brien. We had a scare in January when John underwent emergency surgery, but we are delighted that he has recovered completely and is back at work "better than ever." We rejoiced with Joe when he was appointed Assistant Professor of Classics at Princeton. He begins in September and we shall miss him and his important contributions to the dictionary, but we wish him all luck in his new position. We hope that he, as Robert Ritner, will return occasionally available for questions and with bits of information for inclusion. The Demotic Dictionary Project has suffered one major loss this year; George Hughes, who from the beginning was our support and our reference, died in December. We miss him, we miss his knowledge, and we miss his encouragement. We aim to maintain the high standards that he set so that the final volume will be a fitting tribute to him and his work.

Facts about Costa Rica:
• Surface: 51.200 km²
• Population: 4, 43 Mio.
• Form of government: Presidential Republic
• Languages: Official language is Spanish but there are further ones like Patois or indigenous languages
• Religion: 77% Catholics, 14% protestants
• Holiday: 15.09. Independence Day (1821 from Spain) with patriotic celebrations
• Capital: San José; most important cities: Alajuela, Cartago, Puerto Limón, Puntarenas, Liberia, San Isidro
• Shore line: Pacific 1020 km, Atlantic 211 km
• Extension: north-south: 464 km, east-west 259 km
• Highest mountain: Cerro Chirripo Grande with 3839 m above sea level
Costa Rica's population consists of around 94% residents with European and Indigenous ancestors, 3% black people, 1% Indios, 1 % Chinese people and 1% of others. All together, the number of residents is estimated around 4, 4 million. With 85 inhabitants/ km², the density of population is very high compared to the 32 residents/ km² in the USA.
Costa Rica is part of the tropical zone with quite constant temperatures during the year. The climate depends on the altitude and the amount of precipitation. At the pacific side, the dry period begins in December and ends in april. Apart from May, winds from the southwest might provide rainfalls which get stronger and stronger until October in the western half of the country. Similar effects provoke low pressure areas in the Caribbean flatland. This wet-dry climate is subject to the global climate change. Consequently, it is just possible to give a forecast of the weather with a certain probability. All in all, Costa Rica is a country that can be visited through the whole year without having to think too much about climate or diseases.
In order to be able to connect your electronic devices with European plugs, an adapter is quite helpful. The voltage in Costa Rica is about 110 V but fluctuations of the electric current cannot be excluded.
The topic environmental protection is extraordinarily important in Costa Rica, one of the worldwide leaders in this area. More than 25% of the land has been turned into national parks or biological reserves. Furthermore, a lot of effort is put on the reduction of deforestation. The Costa Rican banana industry intents – together with the government under Laura Chinchilla – to be the first Central American country that reduces its' CO2 emissions down to zero until 2021.
The export of bananas and tourism are the main economic sources of the Costa Rica.

most stressed-out generation. The combination between hyper-involved parents and young adult children is a recipe for disaster. But now kids have some ammunition to tell parents to lay off: actual scientific evidence.
A new study from Virginia's Mary Washington University found that children whose parents are guilty of "helicopter parenting," being overly involved in their kids' affairs, are more likely to be depressed. A whopping 55 percent of young men aged 18 to 24 have become "boomerang children," moving back in with mom and dad after college. Even if you are technically an adult, if you live at home, you might find yourself with a bad case of over-parenting deja-vu.

Is the 13 gpm per zone? What is the gpm at the source and the zones? Did you determine the pressure loss for each zone when designing the system?
I piped 4 zones. Three of which extend to the rear of my property. On 2 of three zones, the last sprinkler heads spray, but water shoots from the seal between the pop up part of the sprinkler head, and its casing. I replaced each head with a new one, and I am still having the same problem. Raindbird 42sa heads, rainbird valves, 1 inch poly pipe, 45 psi @ 13 gpm. I would say that I am loosing pressure but I have 1 zone with the same amount of pipe, the same length and even more heads than the ones I am having issues with. Any assistance would be greatly appreciative.
Is the 13 gpm per zone? What is the gpm at the source and the zones? Did you determine the pressure loss for each zone when designing the system?
13gpm is the gallonage from the water source (well water to the structure) 1 zone with the problem has 9 gpm for the zone, and the 2nd zone has 11 gpm. Pressure at the hose bib of my house is 45 psi. Pressure loss was not a factor I currently had a 4 zone system in the front pushing 12 gpm per zone. I only run one zone at a time. The original 4 zones in my front yard are piped around 400 ft of 1" pipe. The two zones in my backyard im having problems with are piped around 250 ft each. I would assume i'm losing pressure after the 2nd to last head of each zone. I was just looking to see if I were missing anything before I go dig up a the last 30 feet of two zones =)
Cap off one or more heads in the trouble zones, and see what results.
If you buy heads from Hdepot or luwes they only have one thread and only last one maybe two seasons.You must buy commercial style heads
The Rainbird 42SA comes pre-nozzeled with 3 GPM. You did not say how many heads you have on each zone. With 12 GPM at the source (where the water exits the structure), you should have no more than 4 heads on a zone if the pressure is adaquate. What is happening possibly is that the last head is not coming all the way up because of low pressure. When the head is only partially up, they gush water from the seal. You lose approx 3# per 100 feet of 1" Poly pipe.
When checking your GPM, you need a guage with 2 dials, 1. GPM, 2. PSI
As you reduce the GPM the pressure will increase and as you increase the GPM the pressure will drop.
Try re-nozzeling all the heads on the zones that are not working properly to 2.5 GPM or 2.0 GPM
