High School Sports
The Associated Press' 2015 all-state high school football teams
Twelve players representing five schools in the Olympia area were named to The Associated Press' 2015 all-state high school football teams.
The teams were announced Wednesday, after The Associated Press made selections based on votes from sportswriters across Washington.
Olympia's David Woodward — The Olympian's All-Area football player of the year — was selected to the Class 4A first team offense as an all-purpose player.
Woodward also was named the 4A Narrows League offensive MVP after racking up 727 yards on 92 carries, and another 484 yards on 31 receptions. He was 10 of 15 passing for 221 yards, and he tallied 489 yards on kick returns. Woodward had 15 total touchdowns. Defensively, he snagged four interceptions and made 71 tackles.
The core of Olympia's offensive line, Brett Thompson, also was named to the 4A first-team offense after paving the way for a Bears backfield that rushed for more than 3,500 yards — including a school-record 503 yards against Yelm. Thompson also was named the 4A Narrows lineman of the year, and tallied 46 tackles — 17 for losses — and seven sacks on defense. He blocked six kicks.
Clay Markoff rounded out the area 4A selections with an honorable mention at linebacker. Markoff anchored an Olympia defense that allowed an average of 62.5 rushing yards per game. He is the school-record holder in tackles with 288 — 103 this season, 21 for losses — and tallied 9.5 sacks.
Capital's Van Soderberg, a University of Washington commit, was named to the 3A first-team offense at kicker after going 10 for 10 on field-goal attempts this season, and recording 40 touchbacks. Soderberg also was awarded honorable mention on defense as a punter. He averaged 39 yards per punt and downed 11 inside the 20-yard line.
In 2A, six area players made the list — including four from Tumwater.
The T-Birds advanced to the 2A state final before losing to Prosser, 22-15, in the closing seconds of the state championship game.
Cade Otton, a junior, was a first-team selection on offense and defense. At tight end, Otton led Tumwater with 26 receptions for 500 yards and nine touchdowns. At linebacker, he was the 2A Evergreen Conference defensive player of the year with a team-leading 138 tackles — 105 solo, 12 for losses. Otton forced fumbles late in the fourth quarter in both the 2A state semifinal and championship games — the fumble he forced in the semifinal against Archbishop Murphy led to Tumwater's game-winning drive. Otton has a full-ride scholarship offer from Eastern Washington, and has communicated with Division I schools, including UW and Stanford.
Jarid Barrett also was a first-team offensive selection at running back. He was the 2A EvCO offensive player of the year and led Tumwater in rushing with 175 carries for 1,030 yards and 19 touchdowns.
The leader of Tumwater's offensive line at center, Tommy Brassfield was a first-team selection. He blocked for a T-Birds backfield that rushed for 4,285 yards — and averaged 306.1 rushing yards per game.
Griffin Shea rounded out Tumwater's all-state selections. He was named to the first-team defense at defensive back. The 2A EvCo MVP also was named honorable mention at running back and had 1,040 all-purpose yards for the T-Birds. He scored 12 total touchdowns, including a 100-yard kickoff return.
River Ridge had two players named to the 2A all-state team.
Zach Carter, a junior, was a first-team defensive selection at linebacker. He holds the school record in tackles with 213 — 91 this season — and was the 2A South Puget Sound League defensive player of the year.
Kelle Sanders, also a junior, was an honorable mention selection at defensive line. He recorded a school-record 11 sacks, forced three fumbles and recovered another two.
In 1A, Tenino's Thomas Pier was an honorable mention selection at running back. Pier led Tenino in rushing with 1,670 yards — 1,950 total offensive yards — and 29 total touchdowns.

So you are maximizing the metro length at 2 SG3's? At the Rotterdam metro network that's normal, but on the Simvliet network 3xSG3 is a more normal limit.
On the Rijndam network, M5 was build as a outer-region local line; no high passenger numbers expected, so no need for extra long platforms. Other then that, the platforms are build for 3xSG3.

A combination of an awkward conversation with the boyfriend and a paper I wrote for Jewish-American Literature class have sparked some doubts about the conversion process for me today.
Ty was over briefly visiting while I sniffled into a Kleenex box, and on his way out he made some remark about the Shabbat thing at the hippie's house that we had been thinking about going to before I came down with the Cold of Death. This remark referred to me as something along the lines of a "Jewy Christian Sufi" or something else that had the connotations of what I'm really about but still with the term Christian sandwiched in the middle.
This bothered me a lot more than I would have anticipated.
I was already crying a little at that point, because I am the whiniest sick person and he was LEAVING MEEEEEEEEE which, you know, would normally be permissible except I'm SICK and he's moving to THAILAND and my life is SO HARD, YOU GUYS. It was a bit embarassing. So this really just set me off more, especially when he started trying to comfort me by talking about how unimportant titles and labels are when you're talking about faith and how my relationship with God is between me and God, not anyone else. Which, again, would normally be permissible and even welcome, except for the extenuating circumstances of arrrrrrrrghCold of Death, as in these circumstances it mostly caused me to go into a death spiral of angst about how I'll never really be Jewish so why am I even trying and I should just go back to Christianity even though I have a problem with their theology and textual analysis and historicity blah.
So once he was gone and I had taken some deep breaths and played a bit of Skyrim and petted a kitty to soothe my nerves, I started thinking about why I was even doing this in the first place, given what a hostile place Judaism can be for converts and how, as the boy said, labels are in general not all that important.
I wrote a paper on this as my Jewish-American Lit final–as the lone undergrad taking the graduate course I was allowed one personal paper instead of an academic essay. I'll summarize it later, since it was super long-winded, like eight pages long. But the important part is what happened right then as I was passive-aggressively watching the Big Bang Theory while ignoring the book that the Reconstructionist rabbi gave me about how Judaism is a civilization, not a religion, which of course was SO HELPFUL to my alienated convert mind at that point.
What happened was that my friend Max from high school called me, to invite me (in his words, "in light of your recent transformation") on a "classic Jewish tradition"–going to dim sum Christmas Eve morning with his family.
Secular as that may be, I remembered what Jewish community feels like.
I'm doing a lot better now.

Culture of Israel
Immersing in the cradle of civilization is both enlightening and grounding. Experience how Israel's landscape and culture have been shaped by the millennia of human activity on its soil. Descending into the Western Wall tunnels is essentially a convergence with the bedrock of humanity. Qumran - one-time home to the Dead Sea Scrolls and ancient Essenes sect - is an archeological treasure trove.
North, a walk through Beit She'an is like wading through the tide of history; its tel (the Hebrew name for abandoned ruins that often appear as hills in the countryside) is a historical layer cake that tells the fascinating story of a rich period full of power and culture shifts. South, Avdat (Oboda or Ovdat) dates back to the Nabateans in the 3rd century BCE, when it was an important stop on the spice route in the Negev highlands. On the coast, the ancient city of Caesarea was built by Herod the Great in the first century BCE, and is best known for its highly sophisticated ancient aqueducts.
On the shores of the Kinneret (Sea of Galilee), the ruins of the talmudic city of Zippori were once home to the luminous Sanhedrin - the great Jewish rabbinic court. In the desert, Masada's ancient fortress rises high above the otherwise flat landscape, the defiant legacy of the great roman-era tragedy of a hilltop Jewish community. As they say: "There is nothing new under the sun," (Ecclesiastes 1:9) and that couldn't be truer in Israel.

From disability to superability? New tools that lower barriers.
A currently very strong Swedish labour market has made it increasingly difficult for Swedish employers to find the competence they need. The strong labour market has unfortunately had little or no impact on job opportunities for jobseekers with disabilities. Finding and keeping a job for people with disabilities is still hard. Can the use of new technology be the answer Arbetsförmedlingen, the Swedish Public Employment Service, is looking for?
Oskar Jonsson works at the Swedish Public Employment Service Digital Innovation Centre, as part of an interagency collaboration with the Agency for Participation. He has a special interest in cognition, technology, and full participation for all.

Doh! I hit "Enter" by accident.
Anyways, come on guys.....
We all know that there's no "best" when it comes to most things especially gear, players, colors schemes, etc...
How about "Favorite....."
I've never seen so many "Best of" threads anywhere else on the net. Maybe I'm being a little uptight, but it bugs me. It's played out.
The "best of" threads are just asking your favorite, I've seen a few saying favorite. Anywho, I haven't noticed that until you brought it up though, that does kinda' give people the wrong impression.
PS you can edit your posts...
I only see two "best..." topics on the front page.
and this is one of them.
I see four.
That's at least four too many.

Close your eyes and listen to Until The Ribbon Breaks' new EP and you might believe that a five person team is behind this act's ambitious sound. It's actually only one person-Until the Ribbon Breaks is Pete Lawrie Winfield.
I had the pleasure of going to the new UK act's EP release party last Tuesday night, and UTRB did not disappoint. Essentially a one man show (he does have two bandmates, though, to fill in the sound), UTRB put on an energetic show for industry folk at an unnamed venue that used to be the location for The Largo. Bar service was a bit slow, but all was forgotten when he took the stage with backing performers.
He debuted tracks off of hisnew EP, "A Taste of Silver," and paired each heavy hitter with beautifully self-edited mini-films projected onto a screen adjacent to the stage. My favorite of the set was "Romeo," in which the Peter narrates the Shakespearean love story in a new light, saying that he would choose to kill Romeo and save Juliet. Another favorite among the UTRB's videos is his mini-film for "Pressure," which features David Lynch's 1997 classic, Lost Highway. Both of these tracks feature seductive sounds and interesting harmonies that are evident throughout the rest of the EP.
Yes, UTRB presents live material different from most his peers, but it is his music that separates him from the industry as much as his miniature music films do. The performance featured multiple instruments: varying vocal layers, stellar percussion, guitar, electronic drum kit, and even the trumpet. All these and the delicate lyricism definitely enhanced the experience for the audience. In an industry where flashy, ravy lights seem to dominate, it is refreshing to see an act pair groovy tracks with meaningful videos live.

The Scottish Government needs a new mechanism from which to borrow in large quantities, as it still could not afford to lend substantial sums directly from a Scottish National Investment Bank. This means that we will need to create so-called 'special purpose vehicles' to make that investment. A special purpose vehicle is a company set up to carry out one specific task but designed so that the finances are self-contained and do not bring any risk to anyone else. Generally, they are some form of limited company which means that if the project they are set up to carry out goes wrong, they do not bring down a parent company (or in this case, the nation's public finances).
This can only be done in circumstances where a project can be financially self-sufficient, either because it is income-generating or because it provides paid-for services to government via long-term contracts. An example of the former would be a national housing company which could borrow to invest in housing and repay the investment through rental income; or a national energy company which does the same by building profit-making, energy generating infrastructure to repay loans. The latter might be a national childcare company which could invest heavily in creating really high-quality childcare facilities and employ more first-rate child carers with the Scottish Government paying it to provide this infrastructure and those services over an extended period.
But there have been very bad experiences with attempts to create structures which take government spending 'off the books', the most famous being the Private Finance Initiative. They have been incredibly inefficient and in many cases at least borderline corrupt. This is because they were largely created and run in secret by the financial industry for the financial industry (and this in the first half of the last decade, during which we now know the financial industry was totally out of control). They also lacked transparency and had little public interest represented in their governance (the structures through which they were run).
To remedy this, it is suggested that a new special purpose vehicle be developed: a 'national mutual company'. These would be private sector companies and so could borrow without limit. But they would be collectively owned and governed democratically. The best way to do this would be to constitute them so that every Scottish citizen would hold one non-tradeable share. This would give the people of Scotland collectively the legal ownership of the company and the democratic right to make decisions about that company. They would also be eligible for dividends from profits (a payment to all citizens from the profits of their national mutual companies). However, as company law is reserved to Westminster it is possible that this model would be blocked. If so, they should be set up with a constitution which behaved exactly as if all Scottish citizens were shareholders with a right for them to vote at the AGM and to still receive dividends.
These companies would then be limited only by their own business plan—as long as a business model is established that enables them to finance their activities, they would be unlimited in terms of how much investment they make. But they might also have an added bonus by genuinely engaging the wider population in major business decisions and in understanding and being interested in the governance of these large businesses. This could be a radical step in democratising the economy.

Pupils at Binley Woods Primary School, Rugby have had a valuable lesson in fire safety this week from some local heroes.
Firefighters from Warwickshire Fire and Rescue Service spent the morning with pupils from year 1 and year 5, giving fire safety sessions to some very enthusiastic pupils.
The sessions were part of an ongoing fire safety programme which runs in over 200 schools across Warwickshire.
The service's schools liaison officer, Ruth Greenhalgh, said: "The aim of the schools programme is to develop the children's knowledge and understanding of fire safety behaviour and to provide them with survival skills they need, should the worst happen and they have a fire in their home.
"The sessions our firefighters deliver are designed to be interactive and crews use a variety of resources and visual aids to help keep pupils engaged. The best thing about the programme is that the children take what they have learnt home and pass it onto their parents."
Pictured above are year 1 children with community fire safety officer Tony Harris.

If you've ever experienced a weight-loss plateau, you know the disappointment of stepping on the scale after another week of eating well and exercising only to see the same exact number as the week before. For days, or sometimes even weeks at a time, your weight may not budge, which can make your efforts to eat well and move more seem, well, like a waste of time.
The truth is, weight-loss plateaus happen to almost everyone trying to lose weight-even those go-getters with plateau prevention plans. In order to overcome one, it's important first to understand why they occur. Here are three contributing factors that can lead to a stalemate with the scale:
1. Water weight loss returns.
A rapid drop in weight is normal during the first few weeks of weight loss, but what you may not realize is that a fair amount of this initial weight decrease comes from water lost as the body uses up carbohydrate stores in the form of glycogen (sugar). As carbohydrate intake fluctuates day-to-day, it's not uncommon for some, if not all, of that water weight to return, which can offset fat loss and cause a plateau.
2. Your body doesn't just burn fat.
The downside to losing weight is that your body doesn't just burn fat for energy-it breaks down muscle too. Unlike fat, muscles burn calories, so losing muscle will slow the rate at which you use up energy from food. This of course impacts weight loss, and is part of the reason why cutting too many calories can work against you because your body will break down muscle at a faster rate.
3. When you weigh less, you burn less.
As a smaller person, you expend less energy moving around than you did at your heavier weight. Thus, the same number of calories that produced an initial loss may now just maintain your current weight. To continue losing, you'll have to increase the calories you burn through physical activity and/or reduce the number of calories you eat.
Remember, it's completely normal for weight loss to slow or even stall on occasion, so don't get discouraged. Now that you understand the main causes of weight-loss plateaus, you'll be able to devise a plan of attack if and when the number on the scale stops dropping.

Expanding eConnectivity in Agriculture04/04/2017
US grain producers and handlers may soon have more powerful data management capabilities to address traceability and the regulatory needs of the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) thanks to a collaborative effort.
An initiative called Commodity Automation for Rail and Truck (CART) was started two years ago by AgGateway, a group backing the use of eBusiness standards and guidelines on an international scale, in conjunction with the US Grain and Feed Council.
The project was a response to the needs of growers for more effective electronic data exchange at the interfaces between harvesting equipment and transport vehicles, through delivery to a grain elevator or storage bin.
The goal is the design a data exchange implementation guideline using existing standards that will allow technology used in different parts of grain harvesting, management and transportation systems to talk to each other, said Scott Nieman, enterprise integration architect with Land O'Lakes.
He told FeedNavigator: "As we progress, it's become [evident] we can gather huge volumes of data about the harvesting."
CART looks to implement standardized messages from the widely adopted AgXML standards for rail, barge and truck grain transport. These standards serve as the basis for electronic transaction for bills of lading, commodity movement, contracts, contract pricing, quality certificates, weight certificates, rail rates electronic exchange, biofuels support and settlements.
AgGateway said that CART wants to tie together existing standards where possible, and collaborate with other organizations as needed.
The CART team includes participants from BASF, Bayer CropScience, Heartland Co-op, John Deere, Land O' Lakes, ProAg, Purdue University, Software Solutions Integrated, SST Software, Syngenta, Texas A&M University, among others.
Companies involved in CART met last month to map out a plan to complete the standards work by June.
The grain industry has not been able to efficiently track harvested grain from harvester to grain cart, grain cart to truck, truck to elevator, and elevator to processor: "We're focusing on how to capture the transfer events as they happen – this information can be fed forward," said Nieman.
The aim is improve overall documentation of feed grains as they move from combine to storage, to feed mill and then to feed manufacturer, said Nieman. It works using open source technology that can communicate between different equipment used in spate production phases.
If equipment involved does not already have the necessary technology items like electronic id, tags can be added to document different steps, he added.
Another challenge is that most grain elevators generate paper records, instead of an electronic system. Control software for grain elevator processes is available, but not widely used, he said. "Most companies have a hard time making that investment," he added.
"We have the same problems at our feed plants, we have a lot of paper," said Nieman. "Do we have the right systems in place so we can track this information?"
The project coordinators have already started to diagram the process documenting where the information exchange would need to occur.
FSMA accountability
When complete, the implementation guidelines would allow for a quick check of feed ingredient sourcing and could be used to meet accountability measures in FSMA, said Nieman.
The act has created a "hot potato" in terms of accountability.
"Ultimately for Land O'Lakes, in the case of grain our Purina Animal Nutrition line of business, we get passed that hot potato on grain receipt," he said. "So if contamination goes undetected through our receiving and manufacturing process, and out to our customer, our name is attached. We're the ones who are accountable and we're the ones who will be asking for more information from our suppliers if we don't already have it. Our goal is to minimize our exposure if something does happen."
However, by using standards to track all the different parts of the transition that feed grains make from field to finished product it helps with accountability, he said. "You're reducing the exposure if something goes wrong," he added.
While it would be ideal to get details like grain quality or moisture content before it even reaches the manufacturing stage, the first step is to be able to get all the "identifiers" to track the grains progress, he said. "If I can get the identifiers, something happens I should be able to query back to the grain elevator," he added.
"In the long term, I could electronically receive the complete hierarchy of container identifiers and transfer events," said Nieman. "If by rare chance there was a recall, in the short term, we need to the ability to quickly identify our exposure – in the context of FSMA the timeframe is short – and to do it via paper is painstaking. But to have a set of queries and find it in minutes, the value is tremendous."

Tokyo Gas, Kyocera, Rinnai and Gastar Co-Developed SOFC System Begins Residential Trial Operations
Realizing large improvement in horizontal-stripe cell stack durability
December 15, 2009
Tokyo Gas Co., Ltd.Tokyo Gas Co. Ltd. (President: Mitsunori Torihara; herein "Tokyo Gas"), Kyocera Corporation (President: Tetsuo Kuba; herein "Kyocera"), Rinnai Corporation (President: Hiroyasu Naito; herein "Rinnai") and Gastar Co. Ltd. (President: Seiichi Nakanishi; herein "Gastar") are currently engaged in the joint development of a solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC)*1 system with a horizontal-stripe cell stack power generation module (herein "this SOFC system").
Kyocera Corporation
Rinnai Corporation
Gastar Co., Ltd.
Kyocera Corporation
Rinnai Corporation
Gastar Co., Ltd.
From this month, Tokyo Gas has commenced the first trial operations of this SOFC system, as part of the New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO) "Demonstration Research on Solid Oxide Fuel Cells" project (herein "the SOFC demonstration research project").
Compared with conventional systems*2, this SOFC system reduces primary energy consumption by approximately 45% and CO2 emissions by approximately 55%.
Moreover, the durability of the horizontal-stripe cell stack power generation unit had previously been confirmed up to about one year. By advancing subsequent development, the latest tests showed that the durability of the cell stack bundle*3 has now been improved to the equivalent of five years.
SOFC Demonstration Research Project Trial Operations
The SOFC demonstration research project is being implemented over four years from FY2008 through FY2011 to identify future technological development issues by installing SOFC systems in regular households and other locations, operating them under actual power loads, collecting empirical data, and conducting evaluation analyses.
From this month, Tokyo Gas has commenced trial operations of this SOFC system at two single-family homes, one in Yokohama City (Kanagawa Prefecture) and the other in Kokubunji City (Tokyo). Tokyo Gas plans to conduct trial operations on four additional units from FY2011, and to collect data from a total of six units.
Tokyo Gas is implementing these trials to operate this system under actual power loads, verify durability and reliability, and use the issues identified for future development. The company plans to commercialize this system by the early 2010s by further improving the power generation efficiency, making the system more compact, and realizing a projected durability of 10 years for both the cell stack and the system.
System Installed for the SOFC Demonstration Research Project
This system comprises the horizontal-stripe cell stack power generation unit and a hot water storage unit for efficient use of the recovered exhaust heat. The development of both of these units are primarily being advanced by Tokyo Gas, Rinnai and Gastar.
To gain the maximum performance from the horizontal-stripe cell stack, the power generation unit size is made compact to regulate the heat radiation loss and is designed to optimize the internal temperature distribution and the fuel and air flow distribution.
Considering energy conservation and environmental burden, the "Eco-Jozu"*4 high efficiency water heater, which recovers latent heat, has been adopted for the hot water storage unit as a supplementary heat source. The hot water storage unit is exclusively designed to work with the power generation unit.
The power generation and hot water storage units both incorporate control systems for safe and easy use, assuming trial operations at actual residences. They also feature a compact design for installation in crowded urban areas.
Approach to Improving the Durability of the Horizontal-Stripe Cell Stack
The horizontal-stripe cell stack development is being advanced by Tokyo Gas and Kyocera. Structurally, multiple single cells, which are the smallest units of the power generation module, are sintered on a single ceramic substrate, with the cells connected on the substrate in a series. Lower costs are expected in mass production because inexpensive insulation materials are used for the substrate, which comprises most of the cell stack.
The horizontal-stripe cell stack development has focused on extending durability, which is one important point for commercialization. These efforts have combined the horizontal electrode configuration designed by Tokyo Gas with Kyocera's materials and manufacturing technologies. The durability has been extended by revising the detailed design, developing components, improving manufacturing technologies, and devising all-ceramic cell stack technologies, which avert the use of alloy materials that might affect durability. Development has also incorporated numerous technological improvements, such as developing materials that can control electrode degradation even after long-term power generation.
Electric-furnace durability tests on cell stack bundles, which bundle together multiple cell stacks, have confirmed that the cell stack durability has now been extended to the equivalent of five years.
Horizontal-Stripe SOFC Development History
Tokyo Gas, Kyocera, Rinnai and Gastar initiated development of an industrial power generation unit for early commercialization of SOFC systems from February 2004.
From FY2008, the companies changed the application field to residential use and expanded the range of the development from the power generation unit to the entire cogeneration system.
In the current division of work, Tokyo Gas and Kyocera are responsible for the development of cell stack bundles, while Tokyo Gas, Rinnai and Gastar are responsible for the development of the power generation unit and the hot water storage unit.
Tokyo Gas, Kyocera, Rinnai and Gastar will continue diligently advancing development toward the early commercialization of SOFC systems for the realization of a low-carbon society.

*1 A solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) is a type of fuel cell which produces electricity and water from a chemical reaction, typically between hydrogen extracted from city gas or other fuels, and oxygen in the atmosphere. The cell stack which is the power generation module primarily uses ceramics, and produces electricity at a high temperature of 700°C or higher. Among other advantages, this system surpasses the average thermal power generation efficiency (41% LHV), has the highest power generation efficiency of all fuel cells, can use a small hot water tank because of the high exhaust heat temperature, has a small number of parts, and is expected to reduce costs.
*2 The format whereby electricity is supplied from thermal power plants and heat is supplied by conventional water heaters burning city gas supplied by Tokyo Gas.
*3 The output of a single horizontal-stripe cell stack is approximately 10 watts. Practical electric output is achieved by bundling together multiple cell stacks and connecting them electrically. These bundled cell stacks are called cell stack bundles, which are the units that are incorporated into the SOFC system.
*4 "Eco-Jozu" is a high-efficiency water heater which improves the hot water supply efficiency from around 80% to around 95% by recovering exhaust heat which was previously wasted.

How to Speak Brit: The Quintessential Guide to the King's by Christopher J. Moore
By Christopher J. Moore
The integral A to Z consultant to British English—perfect for each egghead and bluestocking seeking to overcome the language barrier
Oscar Wilde as soon as acknowledged the Brits have "everything in universal with the United States these days other than, after all, language."
Any customer to outdated Blighty can sympathize with Mr. Wilde. in any case, even fluent English audio system could be at sixes and sevens while instructed to select up the "dog and bone" or "head to the loo," to allow them to "spend a penny." anywhere did those odd expressions come from?
British writer Christopher J. Moore made a reputation for himself in this facet of the pond with the sleeper good fortune of his past ebook, In different Words. Now, Moore attracts on background, literature, popular culture, and his personal historical past to discover the words that the majority include the British personality. He strains the linguistic impact of writers from Chaucer to Shakespeare and Dickens to Wodehouse, and unravels the complexity Brits be ready to imbue in probably harmless words like "All right." Along the way in which, Moore finds the uniquely British origins of a few of the English language's extra curious sayings. for instance: who's Bob and the way did he turn into your uncle? Why can we discuss with powerless politicians as "lame ducks"? How did "posh" develop into the sort of fashionable word?
Part language consultant, half cultural research, How to talk Brit is the right addition to each Anglophile's library and an enjoyable primer that would appeal the linguistic-minded legions.

To me music serves many purposes, so why would you limit yourself to one genre, one sound? Pop music can either irritate or up-lift me; if it irritates than I try blues, rock, r&b or country. What ever serves to soothe my frayed nerves. Each time/ each mood, something different is needed. At night, during one of my frequent bouts of insomnia I will listen to classical to soothe my mind but I also turn to classical if I need to be inspired, it can get my creativity flowing. My iPod is jammed full of hair bands, rap, r&b, country, pop…. you name it, it's there. All except jazz, I just can't get into jazz. If a song makes you feel good, soothes what's aching , touches your heart, makes you think, or is just simply a lot of fun – what's the harm? With so much negativity and violence in our world music should never be the enemy.
Yes, I get that there is a lack of "true music", out there and we are being inundated with over produced drivel. Blah, blah, blah. Someone must like it, must feel happy listening to it,or else it wouldn't sell. There is a place for it. I am very aware of the struggle for artists to have control over their own music and to be fairly compensated for their work, so I try to pay attention to who the artist is and their story and I buy independently produced music all the time.
I listen to old-school, new-school, and clearly-never-finished-school. I draw the line at racist, homophobic or misogynistic music, though I have to admit I do have an appreciation for some of Eminem's work and he has been horrifically guilty of all three offences. I feel that music is a powerful force in our lives and our society, and our preferences are hugely personal and should not be open to ridicule. If hillbilly twang is your thang, if grill wearin' hip hop thugs get you jumpin', if scream metal speaks to your inner lonely child…you do you. No judgment needed from anyone else.

text: Zanillo's Cantrip of Disrobement My fellow countryman, Peldrex (pictured on the right), claims to have found this spell, attributed to the mischievous Zanillo, in a musty old folio, purchased from an Orgovian. As is typical of wizardly spells, it is hardly subtle, but I can assure you, it is rather handy, in matters both erotic and not. Most foes will hesitate on pursuing violence when they find themselves in the buff, whilst your paramour will be surprised, and one might hope aroused, by a sudden state of nakedness.

Including Text
Here we will add some text labels to the mathlet from the previous pages. Since we will only add text primitives to the scene, most of the code of the previous example can be reused. Only the last two commands need to be replaced.
With LiveGraphics3D you can label the whole plot and individual axes,
and you can put text labels at arbitrary three-dimensional
points in your scene.
For example, in order to label the blue and green sections with labels
x = const. and
y = const., respectively,
we only need to insert two
Text primitives.
The arguments of each
Text primitive specify
the text to be displayed, a three-dimensional point determining
the position of the label, and (optionally) a two-dimensional
vector specifying the horizontal and vertical alignment with respect
to the projected three-dimensional position. The default value
for this 2D vector is
{0,0}, specifying that
the text is centered horizontally and vertically.
For the first label we use
{1,1} to
align the right and top edges of the text with the
projected three-dimensional point,
while the left and top edges of the second label are aligned at
its three-dimensional location by specifying
(* all but the last two commands are the same as in the previous example *) labels = {Text["x = const.", {x, -2, 0}, {1,1}], Text["y = const.", {3, y, 0}, {-1,1}]}; example = Graphics3D[ {mesh, point, xSection, ySection, tanplane, labels}, Boxed -> False] WriteLiveForm["meshPlaneText1.lg3d", example]Resulting applet:
Note that the labels are moving with the labeled sections as
you drag the red point because the variables
y appear in the specification of their
However, this was only the first step. There are actually many
ways to format text in LiveGraphics3D. First of all, we can
change the font and its size by wrapping the labels in a formatting
function named
Here is an alternative assignment for
which modifies the font and its size:
labels = {Text[StyleForm["x = const.", FontFamily -> "Times", FontSize -> 20], {x, -2, 0}, {1,1}], Text[StyleForm["y = const.", FontFamily -> "Times", FontSize -> 20], {3, y, 0}, {-1,1}]};
Most systems support the fonts "Times", "Courier", and "Helvetica";
however, not all special characters are supported in all fonts
nor by all systems.
In our experience, "Times" usually offers the largest set of
special characters. These characters can be entered with their
hexadecimal unicode; for example,
"\:03b1" represents
a lower-case Greek alpha.
Many special characters, in particular Greek characters,
may be entered by names such as
"\[Alpha]" for the lower-case alpha or
"\[CapitalAlpha]" for the upper-case alpha.
A list of all named characters recognized by
LiveGraphics3D is available in the reference guide for Mathematica 3.0
(Wolfram, 1996).
In order to modify the style of parts of a text label,
you can use
The first argument of
StringForm is
a formatting string, which contains placeholders (
`2`, etc.) for the
following arguments. Here is an example,
which also shows how to specify symbols in italics and in bold letters:
labels = {Text[StyleForm[StringForm["`1` = const.", StyleForm["x", FontSlant -> "Italic"]], FontFamily -> "Times", FontSize -> 20], {x, -2, 0}, {1,1}], Text[StyleForm[StringForm["`1` = const.", StyleForm["y", FontWeight -> "Bold"]], FontFamily -> "Times", FontSize -> 20], {3, y, 0}, {-1,1}]};Resulting applet:
Apart from static labels, we can also include the value of any
variable in a text label. For example, we can replace the
by the actual value of
x and
y. The next example
shows two slight variations: The label for
x emphasizes
the difference between the text label
x specified with
"x" and the value of
x specified
labels = {Text[StyleForm[StringForm["`1` = `2`", "x", x], FontFamily -> "Times", FontSize -> 20], {x, -2, 0}, {1,1}], Text[StyleForm[StringForm["y = `1`", y], FontFamily -> "Times", FontSize -> 20], {3, y, 0}, {-1,1}]};Resulting applet:
As you drag the red point in this example, the new numeric values of
x and
y will be displayed by the two
text primitives.
To display a changing numeric value in LiveGraphics3D, the text label must refer to a specific variable. For technical reasons, it is not possible to include arbitrary mathematical expressions within label; a primitive such as
Text[x+y, {0,0,0}] will result in an error. This is not a serious limitation, however, since we can always define a dependent variable for any mathematical expression and then include the name of this dependent variable in a text label instead of the expression.
For example, let us display the values of
y with only two decimal digits. The most straightforward
way to accomplish this, is to display
Round[100*y]/100 instead of
x and
y, respectively. Since we cannot put these expressions
into a
Text primitive,
we have to define new dependent variables, say
Thus, the complete
<APPLET> tag becomes:
<applet archive="live.jar" code="Live.class" width="500" height="500"> <param name="INPUT_FILE" value="meshPlaneText4.lg3d"> <param name="INDEPENDENT_VARIABLES" value="{x -> 1, y -> 0}" > <param name="DEPENDENT_VARIABLES" value="{ x -> If[x < -1, -1, x], x -> If[x > 3, 3, x], y -> If[y < -2, -2, y], y -> If[y > 1, 1, y], z -> 2y*Exp[-x^2-y^2], xDisplay -> Round[100 * x] / 100, yDisplay -> Round[100 * y] / 100}" > </applet>
Note the two new variables
xDisplay and
in the list for dependent variables. These variables also
have to appear in the definition of
labels = {Text[StyleForm[StringForm["`1` = `2`", "x", xDisplay], FontFamily -> "Times", FontSize -> 20], {x, -2, 0}, {1,1}], Text[StyleForm[StringForm["y = `1`", yDisplay], FontFamily -> "Times", FontSize -> 20], {3, y, 0}, {-1,1}]};Resulting applet:
When you drag the red point in this example, the displayed coordinates will only include two decimal digits, making the labels more readable and avoiding frequent changes of the length of the labels. Depending on which Java plug-in your browser has, using the default monospaced font instead of Times might eliminate these changes entirely.
As mentioned earlier,
Text primitives are
not the only possibility to include labels in LiveGraphics3D.
Two other possibilities, namely labels for axes and the whole plot,
will be discussed in the next section.

I kind of dropped the ball on Christmas this past year. I was due to have Keira, who was born 12 days before Christmas, and I was feeling extremely unmotivated. I really wanted to sew for family members, but just couldn't get myself into it. I had ideas for my brother, Curtis and his wife, Chelsea, but I couldn't decide on anything.
I still really wanted to make something for them. I was thinking home décor, of some sort. So, when I saw these his and hers pillowcases, I got an instant idea and knew that's what I wanted to sew.
Reverse applique love pillows! I love them. I think I'll have to make a pair for our home as well.
What is reverse applique? Applique is stitching a design cut out from fabric onto another piece of fabric. Reverse applique is cutting out a design from the main fabric and having a secondary fabric sewn to the underside so that it peeks through the cutout. That is what I did. Let me show you how.
I still really wanted to make something for them. I was thinking home décor, of some sort. So, when I saw these his and hers pillowcases, I got an instant idea and knew that's what I wanted to sew.
What is reverse applique? Applique is stitching a design cut out from fabric onto another piece of fabric. Reverse applique is cutting out a design from the main fabric and having a secondary fabric sewn to the underside so that it peeks through the cutout. That is what I did. Let me show you how.
You will need:
- (2) pillow forms (I used 14" x 14")
- 3 colors of felt (one for the main color, one for the lettering color, and one for the heart)
- fabric marking pen
- wonder under
- needle for hand sewing
- letters printed out from the computer, and cut out. You'll need to use some sort of word processing program (like Word.) This will take a little bit of guess and check to get them sized right.
Cut out the front and back pieces for the pillows (2 fronts, 2 backs.) My pillow forms were 14"x14", so, thinking of seam allowance, I cut my pieces to be 14.75"x14.75". I ended up with some extra room, so you could cut them to be the exact same size as your pillow forms and be just fine.
Step 2:
I used wrapping paper to draft a pattern for each side of the heart. Using an exact-o knife, I cut the wrapping paper to be the added length of both pillows together + one inch, by the height of the pillow + one inch. (My pillows were 14" x 14", so the cut size of the wrapping paper was 15" x 29". My math was, 14+14=28, 28+1=29, 14+1=15.)
Step 3:
Fold the wrapping paper in half hamburger style (Lengthwise? I always get confused.) Ignore my picture, it isn't quite right, I didn't double the length the first time and forgot to take a new picture the second time.
Draw half of the heart. You have to over-exaggerate the dip in the middle, due to the seam allowance and rounding of the pillow. Again, I didn't do that in this picture. You can see the exaggeration in later pictures.
Step 4:
Cut the heart out, cut it in two, so you have two separate halves. Layout the heart and letters on the pillows to see how it all fits. Make any adjustments to it. When you're happy with the layout, move on to step 5.
Step 5:
Cut out 2 pieces of wonder under that are the approximate size of the lettering on each pillow. You don't have to be exact here, you just want it to be big enough that you can cut out all of your lettering from it, spaces between letters included.
Cut the secondary color of felt to the same size as the wonder under. For me this was dark gray.
According to the package directions, iron one piece onto the wrong side of each front piece. Place the wonder under higher than you think it should be. With the curve of the pillow, it looks better to have it higher. I didn't iron the wonder under high enough in the above picture. Make sure that the height is the same for both pillows, you want your text (and heart) to match up when they are placed next to each other.
Step 6:
With your fabric marking pen, trace the heart onto the wrong side of your fabric. Measure the top and bottom, so the heart is even on both pillows.
Layout your letters onto the wonder under and pin in place. Don't forget to mirror image everything!
Make sure that you measure and line the letters up straight. I laid out my ruler and lined up the letters with the same marking on the ruler. You also need to be sure to measure and place the letters on both pillows at the same height from the bottom of the pillow.
Step 7:
With a regular writing pen, trace around the letters onto the wonder under.
Step 8:
Cut out the heart and lettering. If you turn your fabric right side up, it should look similar to this picture.
Step 9:
Peel the paper backing off of the wonder under. According to package directions, iron on the secondary felt color to the wonder under. I had to snip it a little bit where it ran into the heart cut out.
Step 10:
Using the felt color for the heart, cut out a rectangle large enough to cover the heart, plus some. I cut mine to be the height of the pillow plus an inch or two wider than the widest point on the heart.
Pin the felt, right side up, to the wrong side of the front piece of felt, like shown in the above picture.
Step 11:
Hand stitch (or machine stitch) around the edge of all of the letters and the heart. Trim off any excess red fabric on the underside.
I started out machine stitching this, but it was too small and tight for me to make it look good. So, I unpicked and settled on hand stitching instead. It took longer, but looked so much better.
Step 12:
Grab your back piece, and place it, with the front piece, right sides together. Starting on the bottom, stitch around the perimeter. Make sure to leave a big enough gap on the bottom to be able to fit the pillow form through. (The picture below illustrates this.)
Step 13:
Clip the corners, and turn it right side out. Iron the edges flat, turning the bottom opening under.
Step 14: LAST STEP!
Stuff in the pillow form. Pin the opening closed, to help it stay in place. Hand stitch it shut.
All done!
Enjoy your pillows and display them somewhere fun!

Stone Temple Pilots LIED about firing singer Scott Weiland as a publicity stunt … in order to hype an upcoming concert tour … so says Weiland, who insists the band is still 100% together.
Weiland said, "STP is not broken up. It"s a whole thing to try to boost ticket sales."
But the way Weiland explains it sounds like he and the rest of STP don"t really communicate … and they used the Weiland "firing" to boost ticket sales for a tour they were organizing WITHOUT him.
Which begs the question … why is Scott so sure he"s not out of the band He says it"s because there"s a clause in the band"s contract that forbids the members from using the name STP on another group. In other words, if Scott"s out … STP ceases to exist.
Ultimately, Weiland says he has no idea what the other guys were thinking — but when asked if he"s still leading the band, he replied smugly, "I started it."

The MEE Audio M6 (MEElectronics) is one of the best cheap earbuds without compromising on quality, durability, and design. These headphones are ideal for adventurers, activity orientated people who loves working up a sweat, without constant headphones adjusting needed and ear buds falling out. You would expect the most durable headphones to come with a hefty price tag, yet the Sport-Fi M6 from MEE Audio as shown in this earbuds review compares incredibly well to high-end in-ear headphones.
The design aims at secure and comfortable fit without you needing to adjust the in-ear buds while you are in the middle of an activity. MEE Audio achieved this by their patented ergonomic housing design with the memory wire technology and the in-ear buds that has an over the ear fit. The memory cord is completely flexible to conform to the shape of the user's ears thus providing a fit that is locked-in. The design includes certified IPX5 water and sweat resistance for increased comfort and durability. In-ear design significantly reduces noises from the outside for increased focus and clear sound.
Sport-Fi Series:
One of its main attributes is the use of Sport-Fi technology that is specifically designed for individuals with an active lifestyle, without compromising on sound and clarity. The Sport-Fi M6 In-ear headphone uses memory wire technology that most other headphones in its class do not feature. This enables the wearer to enjoy a secure and comfortable fit that is equipped with sweat resistant technology, dynamic sound and ultimate noise isolation.
Wear the headphones with glasses:
A feature most people look for is earphones that are comfortable to wear with glasses. Even if they do not wear prescription glasses most joggers, hikers and outdoor activities are enjoyed while wearing sunglasses or people wish to wear sunglasses, but find their earphones to either be in the way or fall out. The MEE Audio M6 in-ear earphones are worn easily with no interruption or obstruction to the glasses over the ear.
Complete adjustability:
It is the only earbuds under $25 that is completely adjustable in all regards. The additional 6 ear buds, which you could replace if you have smaller or larger ear canals, are not the only way these headphones are adjustable.
Some people have smaller ears while others have a larger outer ear and this is something the M6 earphones also addresses. Regardless of outer ear size the wire that goes around the ear to keep the earphones in place, is entirely bendable with a flexibility without being soft.
The wire inside is flexible, but stiff and will not loosen even when you are running or moving your head excessively. It conforms to all shaped and sizes ears with a locked-in fit that is part of its patented ergonomic housing design.
Effective cable management:
Cable issues are a main issue when it comes to choosing the right headphones especially for sportsmen and women. A cable that tangles and become a problem during exercise is why most people go for high end, expensive headphones, and headphones without wiring. With the M6 headphones, people get a color-matched cable, which is 100 percent tangle resistant.
With the cable is a cable cinch and attached shirt clip that successfully keep the cable out of your way. It eliminates discomfort and distraction with the elimination of cables snagging or getting in the way.
Sound isolation:
It does not have a volume control, but with the noise isolation, in-ear design the volume adjustment is not needed, as you will receive crisp, clear sound while keeping the volumes lower in order to protect your hearing. Wearing the in-ear buds blocks out all external noises effectively and gives you dynamic, clear sound with enhanced bass.
What you get in the box:
Rated as the best cheap earbuds it comes with a color-matches carrying case, six individual sets of additional ear tips as well as shirt clip. The shirt clip and cable cinch are handy in keeping the cable out of your way.
