For a crispier pizza, bake on a pizza stone — a heavy, round plate that simulates the brick bottoms of some commercial pizza ovens. For best results, put the pizza stone on the lowest oven shelf.
Heat the oven to 400 F. Lightly coat a baking sheet with cooking spray.
In a small bowl, add the asparagus, tomatoes and pepper. Add the garlic and toss gently to coat evenly. Arrange the French bread on the baking sheet. Add 1/4 cup of the pizza sauce and 1/4 of the vegetable mixture to each section. Sprinkle each with 1/4 cup mozzarella cheese.
Bake until the cheese is lightly browned and the vegetables are tender, about 8 to 10 minutes. Serve immediately.

"You don't have a southern bone in your body," a friend recently remarked. She meant it as a compliment, but the truth is I consider myself quintessentially southern. I was born in Lexington, to parents who were both native Virginians, and although I don't identify with bigots, moonshiners, or those who pine for the Confederacy, I do love storytelling and the melancholia of faded beauty.
The South is fundamental to my identity, just as it is for the six artists with work in the UVA Art Museum's exhibition, "Southern Views/Southern Photographers." Each contributor offers a distinct aesthetic, but what Shelby Lee Adams, William Christenberry, Emmet Gowin, Sally Mann, Pamela Pecchio, and Jeff Whetstone share is a sense of place and a nostalgic impulse that finds beauty in the not-always-pretty way history— both personal and impersonal— unfolds.
Three of the artists focus on landscape, viewing the exterior world as object and metaphor. Tennessee-born Jeff Whetstone's oversized color prints from his "Post-Pleistocene" series contrast the natural formations in saltpeter caves with the layers of graffiti that have accreted since Civil War days. Atmospherically dark at the edges, his images speak to the passage of time, the folly of teenage boyhood, and the human urge to leave marks.
Georgia native Pamela Pecchio, on the other hand, uses wilderness landscapes as metaphors for complex emotions. Her luminous color prints suggest personal narratives represented by intertwined plant life shot during different seasons. William Christenberry takes a more objective approach, documenting rural Alabama structures and icons of times gone by. Rife with nostalgia, six of his 12 small color prints record the devolution of an abandoned roadside café over 10 years.
The remaining three photographers use black-and-white imagery to portray people. Inspired by the 1940s-era photography of Walker Evans, Shelby Lee Adams offers evocative yet dignified portraits of hardscrabble Kentuckians he met while accompanying his country-doctor uncle. Opting for a more personal approach, Emmet Gowin's small photographs capture moments from summer visits with his wife's family in Danville.
More intimate still— and simultaneously more abstract– are Virginia artist Sally Mann's works from her "Proud Flesh" series that examines her husband's deterioration from muscular dystrophy. Incorporating flaws introduced by the antique wet collodion process, Mann's ethereal photographs create a parallel between the beauty of aesthetic decay and the evocation of nostalgia and tender loss.
"Southern Views/Southern Photographers" reveals the rich artistic depth that results from inheriting a complex sense of place.
The exihibition "Southern Views/Southern Photographers," featuring the work of Shelby Lee Adams, William Christenberry, Emmet Gowin, Sally Mann, Pamela Pecchio, and Jeff Whetstone, is on view through June 4 at the University of Virginia Art Museum. 155 Rugby Road. 924-3592.

Intellectual Property Statistics
Reliable intellectual property (IP) statistics are an important tool in understanding trends in policy, business, and technology worldwide.
We cooperate with IP offices from around the world to provide the most up-to-date global IP data. We also publish statistical reports on worldwide IP activity and on the use of WIPO-administered treaties in protecting IP rights internationally.
WIPO's statistics come from several sources:
- Data provided by national/regional IP offices via WIPO's Annual IP Data Survey.
- Data compiled by WIPO during the application process of international filings through the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT), the Madrid System and the Hague System.
- Data extracted from the PATSTAT database, maintained by the European Patent Office.
By using WIPO's statistical data, users agree not to republish or commercially re-sell any of the data. In addition, when employing WIPO's statistical data in any written work, users must cite "WIPO Statistics Database" as the source of the data.

Half of affluent pre-retirees say they are "terrified" of the effect health care costs will have on their retirement plans, according to a report released Monday by Nationwide Financial. Three-quarters of respondents said health care costs "going out of control" was their top retirement fear.
In spite of those fears, 38% of affluent pre-retirees still haven't spoken with a financial advisor about their retirement, and those who haven't aren't talking about health care costs. Just 20% have discussed health care costs that won't be covered by Medicare.
Part of the problem, according to the survey, is that pre-retirees don't think advisors are qualified to speak about health care costs. Almost 60% said they believe most advisors aren't able to speak about the cost of health care with their clients, even though two-thirds of clients who have spoken with their advisors say they've been very helpful.
One factor in clients' apparent lack of confidence is simply the lack of dialogue between advisors and clients.
"Only 62% [of pre-retirees] have talked to an advisor about their retirement plan," John Carter, president of Nationwide Financial, told AdvisorOne, "but of those, just one in five have discussed health care costs." He noted that 43% said they were going to talk to "a" financial advisor, not necessarily the advisor they've been working with.
"This is a wake-up call for advisors to be proactive about education," Carter said.
Furthermore, 12% of pre-retirees say they plan to switch advisors, but of those, 54% say they wouldn't if their current advisor could help them plan for health care coverage in retirement.
Affluent pre-retirees also need help understanding Medicare, the survey found. Only 20% say they are confident in their knowledge of the program, and more than half say it is very or extremely important to their retirement planning to educate themselves on Medicare coverage.
Pre-retirees estimated Medicare would cover 68% of their health care costs in retirement, but the Employee Benefit Research Institute estimates it will only cover about 51%. When asked how retirees calculated how much Medicare would cover, most said they just guessed. Fifteen percent came to that conclusion after their own research and 7% asked friends who had already retired.
Almost half of respondents understand health care will be their biggest expense in retirement, but they still dramatically underestimate how much it will cost. Pre-retirees estimated they would spend an average $5,621 on health care, but a 2010 survey by Fidelity put the average out-of-pocket cost of health care for a 65-year-old couple between $250,000 and $430,000.
Inflation risk is one reason pre-retirees have difficulty appreciating how much health care will cost once they retire. "It's difficult for individuals to know what prescriptions and doctors visits will cost," Carter says. "They see the cost going up through inflation and they don't see it slowing."
Longevity risk is another reason for pre-retirees' severe underestimation of health care costs, Carter says. "Individuals aren't recognizing their need for nursing home care," he notes.
"Years ago, when 401(k)s were first being established, advisors committed themselves to learning about IRA rollovers, what you can and can't do," Carter says. "It took effort, education and commitment. Advisors need to dedicate themselves to education and understanding so they can advise their clients on health care costs' impact on their retirement plans."
Harris Interactive conducted the survey for Nationwide in January 2012 among 625 pre-retirees over 55 with at least $250,000 in household assets who plan to retire by 2020. Harris surveyed another 625 retired adults over 65 with at least $250,000 in household assets.

All About Performance Plans03 April, 2012 | (01 hr)
Sign In to access this Webcast
With regulators, proxy advisers and the media all continuing to stir the pot, both investors and boards are seeking better ways to align performance and pay outcomes. Clearly, the acid test of investor concerns—and of whether or not executive pay is linked to performance—is in years when their companies do not perform well. However, in the current governance climate, and particularly in the current fragile economic environment, investors remain concerned with executive pay levels even in years when their returns are high. A clear trend is developing in the method selected by companies to improve the alignment of pay and performance outcomes—the increased usage of long-term performance plans instead of traditional stock options and restricted stock awards. The increased complexity of these plans, as compared to options and restricted shares makes it critical for all those accountable to shareholders for executive pay decisions to understand the challenges they face in getting their performance plans right.
Join a panel of experts who will discuss why and how these plans have emerged as a best practice for aligning long-term pay and performance, pitfalls to avoid and other key learnings from practitioners, and how companies can focus on the positive results that are possible, including increased transparency, acceptance and trust between shareholders, boards and management.
In viewing, participants will explore...
- Board challenges in balancing multiple stakeholder interests, governance standards, investor concerns and sound business strategy
- Driving value creation vs. just creating pay value
- The essentials—setting appropriate payout opportunities, timelines, performance targets and peer groups
- Tailoring performance plan design to unique company needs for incenting behaviors that will achieve sustainable success
Audience: Board Compensation Committee members, "C-Suite" Executive Officers, Chief Human Resource Officers, Senior VPs of Compensation and Benefits, VPs of Compensation and other senior executives who are accountable to shareholders for the alignment of management pay and company performance.

Grand Theft Auto Online Launches With Some Glitches
The game that made $800M in a day still has some issues to work out.
Oct. 1, 2013 -- Grand Theft Auto V, the newest installment in the popular video game series, sold $800 million worth of copies in a single day.
But that popularity may also be contributing to bottlenecks in the game's much-anticipated online mode, Grand Theft Auto Online, which developer Rockstar Games unveiled today.
Dave Tach, a reporter for the video game news website Polygon, said no one at his company has been able to sign in. "We've had people try in Ohio and Philadelphia and Austin and at this point, everyone can't sign in," Tach told ABC News.
"It's not surprising that there are online issues. A cynical way of looking at it is that the pattern teaches the lesson, and that lesson is that launching games online is difficult," Tach said.
The multiplayer mode is independent of the game's single-player mode featuring the three main characters. "Grand Theft Auto Online is set a few months prior to the events of Grand Theft Auto V's single player story," Rockstar Games said in a statement.
Since GTA V released two weeks ago on Sept. 17, players have given it overwhelmingly positive ratings.
The online version of the game departs from the single-player version by also introducing the virtual currency system, GTA$. Like many free games available on mobile devices, players can spend money in the real world to get more money in the online world. However, Rockstar maintains that no one will be able to buy their way to the top. "No one can begin GTA Online and simply spend a lot of money out the gate to get a leg up," Rockstar Games said.
Unfortunately, the online aspect itself has been giving some players troubles. Whether it's a problem with the online gameplay itself or just even gaining access to a server, people have vented out their frustrations on Twitter.
Rockstar Games did not immediately respond to ABC News' request for comment. However, the game developer did acknowledge a couple of online issues on its support page, though the support page has also been encountering some issues of its own.
Regardless of Rockstar Games' online issues, they are not the only large game company to be faced with overwhelming demand for their latest game. Diablo 3, made by Blizzard Entertainment, and SimCity, developed by Maxis, also had major online issues when they launched.

In their interpretation and application, the provisions of this chapter shall be held to be minimum requirements and as not interfering with, abrogating or annulling any easements, covenants or other agreements between parties; provided, however, that where this chapter imposes a greater restriction or limitation upon the use of buildings, premises or lots or upon the height and size of buildings or requires larger yards or other open spaces than are imposed or required by existing provisions of law or ordinances or by easements, covenants or agreements, the provisions of this chapter shall control.
Before the construction or alteration of any building or any part of a building is commenced, the person causing such construction or alteration to be done or his agent or the architect or builder employed in connection with the proposed construction or alteration shall file, in the office of the Village Administrator, addressed to the Board of Trustees of the Village, an application for a permit to construct or alter. Such application shall contain a statement of the full name and residence of each of the persons having an interest as owner, tenant or otherwise and of the use to which the building is to be put and such other information as the Board of Trustees may require. Said application shall be in duplicate and shall be sworn to before a notary public or commissioner of deeds and shall be accompanied by such plans and drawings and such a diagram of the lot, showing the exact location of the existing and proposed buildings, as will enable the Building Inspector to determine whether the proposed construction or alteration and use conform to the provisions of this chapter.
Any person or his agent may file preliminary plans of a proposed building or structure prior to the filing of detailed plans therefor, and such plans may be tentatively approved subject to the submission and filing of the complete plans, drawings, diagrams and other data herein provided for.
All applications, statements, plans and detailed drawings required by this chapter shall be presented to and kept on file in the office of the Village Administrator.
Nothing in this chapter shall prohibit the filing of amendments to any application at any time before the completion of the work for which the permit was sought, and such amendments, after approval by the Building Inspector, shall be made part of the application and filed as such. Such amendments shall be made in the same form and manner as the original application and shall be accompanied by similar plans and drawings relative to the changes proposed. Nothing herein contained shall require the owner, lessee or occupant of any dwelling to make any application to the Board of Trustees for a permit to make ordinary repairs to buildings or structures.
No person other than the owner in fee of the land shall make any such construction or alteration without having first filed with the Board of Trustees a statement, in writing, accompanying the application to build or alter, which statement shall give the full name and residence of the owner of the land, building or proposed building, structure or proposed structure and shall recite that he is duly authorized to perform said work.
Upon filing an application for a building permit, the applicant shall pay to the Village the fee provided in Chapter A219, Fees, of this Code of the Village of Lawrence, which shall cover the issuance of a building permit and the issuance of a certificate of occupancy and which shall in no event be returned, in whole or in part.
All applications for a building permit shall be examined by the Building Inspector. He shall endorse thereon, or state in an accompanying memorandum. whether or not the application complies with the requirements of this chapter, Chapter 70, Building Construction and Fire Prevention, and other applicable ordinances or statutes.
The Building Inspector may also require the submission of such additional plans, information, soil or foundation tests and data as he may deem necessary in enabling him to act upon the application. All of such material shall be filed with and deemed part of the application.
In the case of an apartment house, a church or other place of worship, a school, a place of public assembly or other construction involving special problems or special consideration, the Board of Trustees may retain a special architect or engineer to examine the application and confer with the applicant's architect and submit his report thereon. The Building Inspector may act on the basis of such report and, meanwhile, may suspend action on the application.
If the Building Inspector determines that the application does not comply with the applicable requirements, he shall enumerate his objections and send a copy to the applicant.
When the Building Inspector has determined that the application complies with all of the applicable requirements, he shall approve the application and note his approval in the file. Such approval may cover the entire building or structure or may be limited to a portion thereof.
Every such approval shall, before a building permit is issued, be subject to review by the Board of Trustees, if the Board so desires, and, if the Board's determination differs from that of the Building Inspector, the approval of the Building Inspector shall be vacated and the matter remitted to the Building Inspector for such action as the Board may direct.
When the application has been approved by the Building Inspector or, in case of a review by the Board of Trustees, when the application has been reviewed by the Board of Trustees, a building permit shall be issued for the construction or work so approved.
Every building permit shall be issued by the Board of Trustees. The Board may, however, in particular cases or in particular classes of cases or generally, empower the Building Inspector or such other officer as the Board may designate to issue building permits in its name and on its behalf.
Where the permit covers only part of a building or structure, the issuance of such permit and the approval upon which such permit was based shall not prevent the Board of Trustees from refusing to approve the remainder of the building or structure, or any part thereof, when the plans and other data covering such remainder have been submitted.
Any building or other permit issued under the provisions of this chapter, under which no work is commenced within six months from the date of its issuance, shall expire by limitation. Any such permit may be revoked by the Board of Trustees if work thereunder is not completed within two years from the date thereof. Such times may be extended by the Village officer authorized to issue the permit, provided that no change has been made in this chapter or Chapter 70, Building Construction and Fire Prevention, or any other local law or other ordinance which would prevent the issuance of the permit if then applied for.
The Building Inspector may and ordinarily will require a placement survey after the foundation has been installed and, in such case. may require that the work be suspended until such placement survey has been furnished. The Building Inspector may also require such additional surveys or additional plans, information, soil or foundation tests and data during the progress of the work as he may deem necessary or helpful in order to determine compliance with the applicable requirements.
If the Building Inspector shall, at any time during the progress of the work, find and determine that the work does not comply with the requirements of this chapter or any other applicable ordinances or of the building permit issued, the Building Inspector may require that the work be stopped and may also require the applicant to remove and replace and correct any work which does not so conform. If the work shall be stopped, no further work shall be performed unless and until the Building Inspector or the Board of Trustees shall so direct.
Editor's Note: Former § 212-80, Review by Trustees of work stoppage, was repealed 6-14-2007 by L.L. No. 2-2007.
The Board of Trustees may also revoke any permit or approval issued under the provisions of this chapter in case the permit or approval is based on any false statement or any misrepresentation as to a material fact in the application.
In case of the expiration or revocation of a permit, the owner shall forthwith, on demand, restore the premises to their condition prior to the application for the permit, including the demolition of any construction and the filling in of the excavation to grade. In case of the failure of the owner so to do, the Village may do the work for the account of the owner, by contract or with Village workmen, and assess the cost thereof, including supervision, against the property.
It shall be the duty of the Administrator of the Village or such other person as may be designated by the Board of Trustees to issue a certificate of occupancy within 10 days after a request for the same shall be filed at his office by any owner of a building or premises, provided that the Building Inspector shall be satisfied that said building or premises or part thereof has been completed in accordance with, and the proposed use thereof conforms to, the approved plans and with all the requirements herein contained and provided that the architect, engineer or superintendent of construction in charge of the work shall certify that said building or premises or part thereof has been so completed and the proposed uses thereof are in conformity with the approved plans and with the provisions of this chapter and of Chapter 70, Building Construction and Fire Prevention. In the case of new construction and in any other case where the Building Inspector requires it, a placement survey shall be furnished before a certificate of occupancy is issued.
Under such rules all regulations may be established by the Board of Trustees, a temporary certificate of occupancy for a part of a building may be issued by the Administrator of the Village or such other person as may be designated by the Board of Trustees.
It shall be unlawful to construct or alter any building or structure or part thereof until the application and plans required by this chapter shall have been submitted to and shall have been approved by the Board of Trustees or by the person designated for such purpose by the Board of Trustees and a written permit therefor shall have been issued.
It shall be unlawful to use or permit the use of any building or premises or part thereof hereafter constructed or erected, changed or enlarged, wholly or partly, in its use or structure until a certificate of occupancy shall have been issued by the Administrator of the Village or by the person designated by the Board of Trustees for such purpose: provided, however, that, prior to the issuance of a permit authorizing a change or enlargement of an existing building, the owner of such building may occupy and use the same as formerly until the change or enlargement has been completed.
[Amended 9-11-2002 by L.L. No. 5-2002]
Any owner, lessee, tenant, general agent, architect, builder, contractor, subcontractor, workman, employee or any other person who knowingly commits, takes part in or assists in any offense against any provision of this chapter or who shall cause or permit any building or part thereof to be constructed, altered or used contrary to the plans and specifications filed under the provisions of this chapter and for which a building permit has been issued shall, upon conviction thereof, be guilty of a violation pursuant to the Penal Law of the State of New York, punishable by a fine up to a maximum of $1,000 or by imprisonment for a term not exceeding 15 days, or by both such fine and imprisonment. The continuation of an offense against the provisions of this chapter shall constitute, for each day the offense is continued, a separate and distinct offense hereunder.
Any owner, lessee, tenant, general agent, architect, builder, contractor, workman, employee, or any other person, who constructs or maintains any building or premises, in or upon which any violation of this chapter shall exist, shall forthwith remove the building or terminate the use which violates the provisions of this chapter and, in case of his failure to do so, shall be guilty of a violation of this chapter and shall be subject to the penalties provided in § 212-86 of this chapter.
Nothing in this chapter shall be deemed to affect any provision of Chapter 70, Building Construction and Fire Prevention, but the provisions of this chapter shall be deemed in addition to and not in substitution for the provisions thereof.
Any building permit issued prior to the effective date of this section for work that does not comply with this chapter shall continue in effect, but, in case no work under such permit should be commenced before it expires (i.e., before its original expiration date or the date to which it may have been extended by the Board of Trustees) or within three months after the date of the adoption of this section, whichever date is the earlier, such building permit shall expire by limitation; provided, however, that such expiration date may be extended by the Board of Trustees. If work under such a building permit has commenced prior to its expiration date as herein provided, such work may be carried out and completed, and a certificate of occupancy or certificate of compliance, as the case may be, shall be issued in the same manner as if amendments to this chapter had not been adopted. This section shall not affect any building permit issued for work that complies with this chapter.

Cold weather? No sweat for Peyton Manning
The puffs of icy breath were visible all the way into the upper decks. Peyton Manning's play calls were clouds, breath, breath, breath, snap.
This was supposed to be his downfall, this crisp, clear cold weather, the kind that'll freeze a foot - cleat, sock and all - upon contact with the frozen turf.
This was supposed to be Manning's Achilles' heel, the only thing that could calcify the arm of a generation's greatest quarterback.
Supposed to be, but don't tell Manning.
The quarterback who's supposed to shrink at the thought of freezing weather instead led the Broncos to a 51-28 home victory over the Tennessee Titans on Sunday with a barrage of passes that sliced through the 18-degree (and dropping) air, silencing criticism and paving what should be a clear path to his fifth MVP award and a postseason run.
RECORD: Denver kicker Matt Prater set an NFL record with a 64-yard FG
Sunday was the first step in that process as the Broncos clinched a playoff berth. It was a mere technicality to be crossed off their to-do list with three games to go, but it was also the next step toward holding onto the AFC's best record and a No. 1 seed, which the Broncos (11-2) own by one game over New England. With the New England Patriots' miracle victory over Cleveland earlier in the day, keeping that spot was in Manning's gloved hands, and he delivered, with 397 yards passing and four touchdowns.
"He did a superb job," coach John Fox said. "I think our team did a superb job of getting ready for those elements. Thursday, Friday and Saturday were pretty frigid, and I thought it was great for us."
Granted, the game wasn't as easy as the final score might indicate.
It started out with seemingly everything breaking against Denver, from a Bronco-on-Bronco injury to a drive in which first Eric Decker then Wes Welker fell splat on the rock-hard ground with what appeared to be touchdown passes - except, of course, that replays said otherwise.
For the second game in a row, Denver dug itself a hole, this one a 21-10 deficit with 6:58 remaining in the first half. For the second consecutive Sunday, it looked like a lesser team might have the Broncos' number.
Then Manning took over, just as he did the previous weekend in Kansas City, although this time the mercury wasn't hovering around 50 degrees.
Peyton Manning, in the cold, successful? What is this, madness?
No, it's Manning having his way. In his four cold-weather games wearing a glove as a Bronco, the offense has scored 38, 35, 31 and 51 points. In other words, all the chatter about Manning not being able to function in the cold is just that, chatter. It's just that this is Manning's first cold-weather victory since 2012, and he's only 2-2 as a Bronco with a glove, but even so, Sunday should end the questioning for now. Manning, for one, is finished with it.
"Whoever wrote that narrative can shove it where the sun don't shine," he told Denver radio station 850 KOA in an interview after the game.
In his postgame news conference, Manning was a bit softer in his denouncement.
"I mean, I wasn't trying to answer (the criticism), because I didn't give it any validation in the first place," he said. "We had a good plan, and guys caught the ball well."
Not only did Manning lead the Broncos to victory, he also continued his record-setting clip. With Welker's first-quarter reception, the team became the first to have four players with at least 10 touchdowns apiece in a single season, and it tied the mark set by Manning's 2004 Colts by having three receivers with at least 10 each.
After Sunday, there's no doubt that it'll take more than a cold snap to get in the way of history. The Broncos are done with that distraction.
"They'll find something (to talk about)," defensive tackle Terrance Knighton said. "They'll probably say, well, he's not good below zero or something. They'll find something, but I consider us a weatherproof team, and he's a Super Bowl champ. We're not really worried about that. We'll play anywhere, any weather, any conditions."
No one should be surprised by what Manning and offensive coordinator Adam Gase finagled Sunday. They learned their lesson the hard way at New England two weeks ago, that conservative play-calling just doesn't work, especially when their defense is as porous as this makeshift unit has become. Plus, Manning was clearly agitated with all the talk of his cold-weather troubles, so he ended it, simple as that.
After weeks of talking about Manning in the cold and how Mother Nature might conspire to rob Denver, Sunday's game solidified the notion that the conversation needs to shift. As the score bobbed upwards, it was the Broncos' defense, not Manning's arm, that likely gave Broncos' fans cause for concern.
When a quarterback is on pace to shatter NFL records, he can only be an asset.
"Whatever it takes, he's going to execute and put the ball where it needs to be," said tight end Julius Thomas, who caught his 11th touchdown pass of the season Sunday.
Manning is going to dazzle, even when his calls hang heavy in the air like smoke. Whether the rest of his team can follow suit remains to be seen, but on Sunday, Manning made his statement, as amazing to Denver as it was terrifying to the rest of the NFL.

Al M wrote:Took recent delivery of Mike's -2 C down quilt, 520g, stitch foot zip design like the ones in previous post pics above and used it recently in Japan winter trip though sleeping indoors a cold traditional Japanese farm house with thin rice paper doors and windows. Outside temperature was -1 C and indoors 0 C and the quilt was excellent with heaps of reserve warmth for colder conditions, very light, compact and no shifting of down to create cold spots, used mostly just as a blanket not clipped in. I'm a warm sleeper that uses a poly stretch liner so reckon this setup will do me for -6 C conditions, which is 90% of my local winter hikes and overseas travel trekking in Nepal without overlooking in the bag etc. Best part is the quilt has no annoying hood section like a normal sleeping bag that gets in the way and allocates material in other places where it matters or saves weight not putting up with that.
Funny thing is all the Japanese locals in the farm house were using their normal massive inefficient old style down quilts on futons to keep warm and I had equal warmth in Mike's quilt for much less bulk and weight.
Highly recommended, very happy with the product and accessories that came with it (stuff sack and storage bag). This will do me for the next 10-20 years with a semi ultralight pack.

Thanks Mark for being the first person to put up their hand 5 years ago.
Fedex just left.
Wow. What a christmas gift. Mark, see you on Monday!
I'm having a flashback to 2006.
Ted Schilowitz told me at Sundance that we was going to leave AJA and work with Jim to build this crazy, revolutionary 4K camera. He was so excited. He pitched me the concept, which I loved, but when I asked if he had the sensor and he replied "we're gonna build it" - I got a little worried. But I could see how sincerely excited Ted was about the project and I just had a feeling there was something there. Sometime in March I got a phone call from Ted - he said he & Jim were going to have a booth at NAB and announce the camera to the world - and he wanted me to be a part of it and just be around and help in the booth. I asked if they had a working prototype - "nope". I asked if they had a sensor working - "nope". I said "Ted, sure I'll help you out - but what the hell am I going to do in the booth?" And Ted says "Don't worry. Just be yourself".
A week or so later I'm on a conference call with Jim, Ted and a bunch of folks - some who now work at RED, some were folks Ted picked to help in the booth. The purpose of the call was to discuss what was going to happen during the trade show. Ted & Jim explained that we would take $1000 deposits for a serial number, a place in line - that it would be fully refundable, etc. Everyone on the call was very quiet. It was really just Ted & Jim talking. I asked if we'd be starting with the number "1". And there was a quick side-bar between some of the folks on the call and then Ted announced that serial numbers 1-5 would be Jim's cameras. So then I asked, really without even thinking, "Can I have number 6?" and there was silence - some chatter between Ted & Jim and then Ted said "Sure". "And number 7"? And Ted said "Sure, Mark has number 6 & 7". And the thing I remember most about that call was that I expected everyone else on the call to ask for a serial number - and it was just silence.
Ted called me after and said "I can't believe you did that! One day … you will understand what a big deal that was."
That day is today.
I look back at the early days when we only had #006 (Elvis) and #007 (Bond) - no audio - no slow motion - no 16:9. A new firmware build every day. It was a blast. I called Stuart at his home so often his wife would just answer the phone "Hello Mark". I remember countless meetings trying to convince people to use these cameras. Countless demos.
Things are VERY different now. RED is everywhere. I'm proud to have been right inside that revolution.
And now - the next chapter begins. EPIC.
Helmet on. Let's do this.
Mark, you should name this one "Lucky Dog"... you lucky dog you.
WOW!!!!!! They are officially in the wild!!!! Well, one is anyway, but he will not be alone for long :)
Didn't know there were different mounting options on Epic. Hope Mark has fun with it as I'm sure he will.
Dig the five digits.
Congrats, Mark. Happy Holidays. ;)
OMG!!!!!!!! congrats!!! MAAARK!!!! i can't contain myself. EPIC IS HERE!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

INSHALLAH.com Charter
This charter permits to ensure a quality of service and permits sisters and brothers to maximize their chance to find the soul mate. We count on our members to respect it in order to make the dialogue sane and pleasant.
Politeness is trhe rule.
Thus no form of insult or attack will be tolerated because they are contrary to the ethics and morals of the site: « I was not sent to insult or curse but to be a mercy for all mankind ». Hadith
Respect for the other.
InshAllah.com respects and guarantees the free expression of thoughts and opinions of everyone, provided it does not harm another and it does not disturb the established order. Thus it would not be acceptable to judge anyone : « Judgement belongs to Allah ». S.12 V.40
Always modest.
he opportunity is given to members to make themselves known and post their profiles and pictures on them. Nevertheless modesty is still required and the site administration will strictly ensure it : « Modesty is a virtue, but when it comes to relationships between both sexes, it makes more sense ». Sayyidina Omar Ibn Al Khattab
Totally honest.
Honesty and sincerity are the base of all relations. When joining this site, you make a commitment to show a true and honest image of your person, your intentions and your expectations. Do not base your relations on lies and falsehood : « Belongs to no religion, the one who does not keep his word and has no faith the one who is not trustworthy ». Hadith
The administration of inshallah.com site reserves the right to delete profiles of those who violate the charter established.
InshAllah.com ideology
InshAllah.com is a site of dating and exchange which tends to facilitate to Muslims the discovery of the soul mate wishing to see, if God will, marriage becoming a reality in the respect of human and moral values which are the ones of Islam.
Islam to which we subscribe and to which we refer in this site, is not the one which is instrumented on both sides, politicized or even marketed, but our Islam is the one which restored equality, justice and dignity to the whole humanity.
« We certainly sent our messengers, giving them clear proofs, we sent down set them the Book and the balance so that people can stick to equity ». S.57 V.25
In order to attend to this Islam which is the one of the happy medium, far from any fanaticism or extremism, and to close doors to any ill-intentioned who would speak in the name of this one setout any skill (which is often the case on the web), your site inshAllah.com appealed to specialists on theology and on Muslim law who will guarantee the good spreading of knowledge .
« Thus ask the scholars of the Book if you do not know ». S.21 V.7
You should not see in this community aspect of the site some kind of multiculturalism because although we cling to our identity, we are all the more opened to the others and even invite them to come to meet and to exchange while remaining themselves.
« Allah forbids you by no means to be beneficial and fair to those of the non-Muslims who neither persecuted you in your faith nor drove you out of your homes, Allah certainly likes those who are fair. » S.60 V.8
Exchanges between different sexes, generations and races are reasons of the divine creation even if it does not automatically lead to marriage.It can be the fruits of a brotherly and cultural sharing.
« O mankind, We created you from a man and from a woman, made you into nations and tribes so that you may know one another ». S.49 V.13
The administration of the site remains opened to any questions, suggestions or propositions to improve the site in terms of both content and form if they are well-intentioned.
Our commitments, Our responsibilities.
By implementing this project we have above all the wish that it can be pleased by our Lord, his noble messenger and be useful for our community : « Say: Work, and know that Allah will see your works as well as His Messenger and the believers. ». S.9 V.105
This project is all the more noble and delicate. Its nobility comes from the word of Allah : « O mankind, We created you from a man and from a woman, made you into nations and tribes so that you may know one another ». S.49 V.13
But it is also delicate as far as, setout an Islamic supervision, it eventually risks to go astray and to differ from the other dating sites only by the name. Therefore, it is imperative for this site to be as high as the name it wears, because Inshallah.com refers to the notion of absolute power, setout which nothing can succeed. And besides this name is a strong symbol of Islam belonging.
That's why we have to respect set the entire necessary rigor the requirements of Islam in the field of date between both sexes: we say yes to dates no to depravity, yes to exchanges and dialogue no to immorality under all its forms.
Besides, the strong and increasing attendance that the site knows in spite of its youth, places us undeniably in a responsible posture in front of the community, our faith and our Lord because as our master the beloved Prophet (B.P.U.H.) underlines it so well : « The one who has in his public about ten of people will be considered set Allah as a guide who will have to be accountable. » Hadith, and guides there are two kinds, one for what is good and one for the opposite.Of some people Lord said : « we appointed among them leaders who guide people by Our command as long as they endured » S.32 V.24 and for others, our Lord said : « And We made of them guides who call up to the furnace and on the last day they will not be helped ». S.28 V.41
As website administrator and responsible for this kind of site, we cannot simply content ourselves set facilitating meetings between sexes, which is imperative, we must underline it, but it is necessary to know how to supervise these meetings to avoid that they become corrupted. Our duty is to accompany the concerned persons so that inshallah they can know a successful realization but also be present for them when after the meeting they know confusion or when they need assistance or advice.
So here is the nobility of the task, it's a matter of Islamic morality and belonging beyond a search for funds or fame.
We hope that at the end of your reading you will grasp the professionalism and the morality this site fit in.
InshAllah.com, together for many good things, if God will.

Foote, Julia A.J.
All this time the Primes had treated me as though I were their own child. Now my feelings underwent a great change toward them; my dislike for them was greater than my love had been, and this was the reason. One day, Mrs. Prime, having company, sent me to the cellar to bring up some little pound cakes, which she had made a few days previously. There were but two or three left; these I brought to her. She asked me where the rest were. I told her "I didn't know." At this she grew very angry, and said, "I'll make you know, when the company is gone." She, who had always been so kind and motherly, frightened me so by her looks and action that I trembled so violently I could not speak. This was taken as an evidence of my guilt. The dear Lord alone knows how my little heart ached, for I was entirely innocent of the crime laid to my charge. I had no need to steal anything, for I had a plenty of everything there was.
There was a boy working for Mr. Prime that I always thought took the cakes, for I had seen him put his hand into his pocket hastily, and wipe his mouth carefully, if he met any one on his way from the cellar. But what could I do? I could not prove it, and his stout denial was believed as against my unsupported word.
That night I wished over and over again that I could be hung as John Van Paten had been. In the darkness and silence, Satan came to me and told me to go to the barn and hang myself. In the morning I was fully determined to do so. I went to the barn for that purpose, but that boy, whom I disliked very much, was there, and he laughed at me as hard as he could. All at once my weak feelings left me, and I sprang at him in a great rage, such as I had never known before; but he eluded my grasp, and ran away, laughing. Thus was I a second time saved from a dreadful sin.
That day, Mr. and Mrs. Prime, on their return from town, brought a rawhide. This Mrs. Prime applied to my back until she was tired, all the time insisting that I should confess that I took the cakes. This, of course, I could not do. She then put the rawhide up,
That afternoon Mrs. Prime went away, leaving me alone in the house. I carried the rawhide out to the wood pile, the axe, and cut it up into small pieces, which I threw away, determined not to be whipped with that thing again. The next morning I rose very early, before any one else was up in the house, and started for home. It was a long, lonely road, through the woods; every sound frightened me, and made me run for fear some one was after me. When I reached home, I told my mother all that had happened, but she did not say very much about it. In the afternoon Mr. and Mrs. Prime came to the house, and had a long talk with us about the affair. My mother did not believe I had told a falsehood, though she did not say much before me. She told me in after years that she talked very sharply to the Primes when I was not by. They promised not to whip me again, and my mother sent me back with them, very much against my will.
They were as kind to me as ever, after my return, though I did not think so at the time. I was not contented to stay there, and left when I was about twelve years old. The experience of that last year made me quite a

RARE FIND: Jack White Covered Blondie Back in the '90s
A cassette found in a basement reveals a Jack White treasure
For any of you who may have wondered what Blondie would sound like if Jack White replaced Debbie Harry, we got you...

Third Man Records co-founder and White Stripes archivist Ben Blackwell recently uncovered a rare Jack White gem when he stumbled upon an old cassette tape in his basement. The tape was a studio recording of a '90s punk band called 400 Pounds of Punk. During the recording, White was actually working as an engineer for the band and lent his vocals for the band's cover of the Blondie hit "One Way Or Another." Take a listen:
Blackwell shared the recording as part of a recent essay on cassette tapes. Speaking of the nearly forgotten medium of music listening, did you know that October 13 is Cassette Store Day?

Editor's note: Martha Pease is CEO of DemandWerks.com, which advises companies on strategy. The opinions expressed in this commentary are solely those of the author.
(CNN) -- Some of the world's most well-known companies like Apple, Google, Facebook, Boots and Starbucks have become successful partly by convincing us through their products that their corporate values align with consumers' personal values.
But what happens when these companies behave in ways that seem to betray our trust? What if you find out that these companies keep their huge profits offshore and out of reach of domestic tax authorities?
Will people challenge them -- "You want to change the world and have us pick up the tab?" Yes, people are voicing their discontent. At Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference in June, protesters loudly criticized Apple for keeping $54.4 billion offshore to avoid paying U.S. corporate taxes.
GE, Microsoft, Citigroup and Medtronic are other high-profile companies have also come under scrutiny and criticism for similar tax avoidance behavior.
The fact is that over $2 trillion in U.S. corporate profits is parked offshore. This should infuriate many law-abiding, taxpaying citizens. What's the justice in this?
Former Labor Secretary Robert Reich put it aptly when he said that lost tax revenue "has to be made up by you and me and every other taxpayer who can't afford high-flying attorneys and accountants to shift our income into places with low taxes."
Of course, the companies don't see it that way and deserve a hearing. For them, it's a difficult business dilemma. The U.S. is alone among developed nations in requiring double taxation for corporations. U.S.-based companies face a 39% corporate tax rate -- the highest in the developed world -- and are required to pay tax twice on foreign profits: once to the country in which the revenue was made, and a second time to the U.S. if and when the money is brought back.
Corporations say they keep so much profit offshore because they have a fiduciary responsibility to their shareholders to maximize profits by any legally allowed means, including avoiding taxes.
Meanwhile, consumers watch critically as companies play out their tax avoidance strategies -- from protecting foreign profits to actually moving their headquarters to other countries.
Apple, for example, has an extremely proactive corporate tax avoidance strategy that allowed the company to pay an effective tax rate of 12.6% -- one of the lowest among U.S. corporations. Seventy percent of Apple's profits -- and $54.4 billion in earnings -- are allocated overseas through subsidiaries in countries with much lower rates (like Ireland and the Netherlands) and out of the grasp of U.S. tax authorities.
Repatriating Apple's offshore money would cost the company about $18.4 billion and increase its effective tax rate to 33.8%. Citigroup would have had to pay $11.7 billion in additional U.S. taxes had it brought back $43.8 billion in 2013.
Other companies choose to move to avoid paying taxes or receive a lower tax rate. Medtronic, which makes medical device technology, plans to move its headquarters to Europe after a merger with Covidien, a non-U.S. company. Medtronic will then enjoy a corporate tax rate much lower than in the U.S.
The trend among large companies these days to embrace social responsibility and transparency leads people to expect them to behave, well, more responsibly. So it is ironic that some of the biggest companies are shirking taxes on their profits.
But people notice. Advocacy groups in the UK and U.S. are targeting tax-avoiding companies by personalizing the impact of lost tax revenue in terms easy for citizens to rally around. The group US Uncut has pointed out that Apple's fair share of U.S. tax on offshore profits in 2011 could have paid salaries for 90,000 teachers. Boots' $1.2 billion revenue sheltered from UK taxation could have funded salaries for 85,000 nurses at the National Health Service.
As Ralph Nader and Cesar Chavez showed us in the 1960s, activist voices can galvanize consumers and fuel them with the spirit of populism. People with a tangible target for their general financial dissatisfaction may equate these companies -- and business leaders -- with the glaring inequality of our time.
In a recent Politico piece, Seattle's billionaire investor Nick Hanauer warned that Americans may one day come after the tech and money plutocracy with pitchforks. History shows that it's impossible for the very wealthy to predict when consumer unhappiness can boil over into outright upheaval. He predicts that moment is coming.
Companies that are out of sync with their consumers' values -- even in their legitimate self-interest -- are at risk of having a center that cannot hold over time. That could be detrimental to their business in the long term.
In Britain, for example, Starbucks saw a 29% drop in the company reputation score, from +3 to -26, after a Reuters report that showed the chain paid no tax on 1.2 billion pounds in sales and claimed to have made no profit in Britain after 14 years of operations.
That probably wasn't the smartest move. Companies that try to hide their profits, through whatever loophole, risk testing the goodwill of consumers.
More and more, young people care about a company's values. More than half of the millennials recently surveyed by PricewaterhouseCoopers said they would consider leaving an employer if its social responsibility and values no longer matched their own. Millennials are important to the growth of any company, as consumers and as prospective employees.
Companies that spend millions to control their images and public narratives by being in touch with consumers may end up being perceived as out of touch if they keep avoiding paying taxes. Consumers may not storm the barricades and topple Apple stores, or forgo their morning coffee, but they will crave economic justice, and they will press for changes.

If federal budget cuts continue as announced, the Federal Aviation Administration will quit operating Sugar Land Regional Airport's control tower.
That scenario includes so many unknowns that it's hard to say what will actually happen, said Sugar Land spokesman Doug Adolph.
"We're still on the list of potential tower closures," Adolph said. "We're told we have until March 13 to make a case to the FAA as to why closure would have a national consequence."
As things stand now, the tower is slated to close April 13.
If that happens, Adolph said the options boil down to two: operating without a control tower or finding about $750,000 a year to pay six air traffic controllers, whose salaries are now paid by the FAA on a contract basis.
Having no tower at all, which is the case at a number of smaller airports where pilots use visual flight rules, is a bad option, he said.
"Pilots would be on their own to land and take off," he said.
That would be a step backward for an airport that handles 250 flights every day and has an 8,000-foot runway that's longer than any at Houston's William P. Hobby Airport.
"We can accommodate the largest of the corporate jets," Adolph said.
Losing the tower would undoubtedly translate into losing business, although the size of the impact is unknown.
"When you have companies that have multi-million-dollar Lear jets that are choosing where to conduct business, you would have to think that not having controlled air space would impact those decisions," he said.
The FAA's Feb. 22 announcement of possible tower closures listed about half the control towers nationwide, according to a news release from the U.S. Contract Tower Association in Alexandria, Va.
On the list were 189 contract towers (including the one at Sugar Land's airport) and 49 towers staffed by FAA employees.
Another confusing element about the proposal to close a large percentage of control towers, Adolph said, is that many in the industry had understood that towers with contracted workers were funded through the FAA's Airport Improvement Program supported by user fees, such as fuel sales, rather than federal tax dollars.
"The sequester should have never impacted the contract tower program," Adolph said. "It appears to us that the rules have changed at the last minute. The fact is, it's real and something we have to deal with regardless of why."
Purchased by the city in 1980, the regional airport has seen about $53 million worth of improvements over the years.
When the control tower opened in 2001, it was a catalyst for more amenities at the facility which now employs 200 people, Adolph said.
As the state's largest "reliever" airport for general aviation, Sugar Land Regional takes overflow from George Bush Intercontinental and Hobby airports.
"It happens on a regular basis," Adolph said. "It's a resource that would not be available (if the tower closes)."

Cities played several roles in World War II. They were targets of destruction and strategic advantage; they were distribution points for men and material; and they were centers of production. San Francisco Bay was prepared for the first role, but in the war, only played the second and third. Still, the preparations were massive, swiftly arming San Francisco. Forts Baker, Barry and Cronkhite ringed the tip of Marin County; Fort Funston stood at the ocean base of San Francisco, with gun emplacements in between. Fort Point mounted guard on the Golden Gate Straits. Inside the bay, bases abounded. Fort Mason, the principal Pacific Port of Embarkation, rested aside Aquatic Park; Moffett Field stood at Sunnyvale; Alameda Naval Air Station and the Army supply depot in Oakland faced San Francisco across the Bay; Hamilton Field stood to the north in Marin County. In the middle, Treasure Island housed the Naval Training Station. Camp Stoneman accommodated servicemen waiting to be sent abroad. The Bay had nearly every kind of base, up to and including one of the chief Pacific code-breaking stations, United States Intercept Station Number Two, at Petaluma.
Loss was omnipresent and so was death. It came in the newspapers, letters, radio broadcasts and Western Union telegrams. The uncertainty meant that people lived for the moment, dancing at the Stage Door Canteen in San Francisco or unwinding to the black man's blues at the joints of Oakland and the white man's blues at the barn dances in Richmond. People walked into each other's lives, bonded over work, drink, or love and walked out again.
Yet if individual lives were fragmented, irregular and fleeting, the war effort was not. It rolled on unrelentingly. Somehow the mass of locals and strangers, blacks and whites, men and women, young and old, whole and handicapped came together in an extraordinary united war effort. The military and the managers of corporations created an impressive production achievement that kept men and products flowing out of the great San Francisco Bay. So did the cities. Cities had numerous superbly important latent resources for war, not immediately obvious to the untrained eye. World War II uprooted 15 million Americans to work in defense, and the Federal Lanham Act failed utterly to house them. So cities had to. San Francisco and Oakland became vast dormitories, as housewives rented spare rooms, basements, back porches, garages and garrets. People doubled up in apartments and single rooms; hotels took in some; converted warehouses, others; and aunts and uncles shoehorned relatives into their homes.
Cities could also mobilize these neophytes. Many drove their cars, but millions more than usual rode mass transit. War workers could get to work by bus, streetcar, cable car, ferry and interurban, in addition to cars. The infrastructure was not the least of the cities' contributions. The new Golden Gate Bridge, Bay Bridge and older bridges held the dispersed metropolis together and allowed it to function as a physically unified military unit from Camp Stoneman to Moffett Field. The military greatly benefited from huge, well developed urban harbors. The State of California had invested $86 million in the San Francisco
Open space in the parks and playgrounds served as a tenting space for the housing-strapped military before barracks could be built. Schools and colleges trained people in everything from welding to exotic languages. Even San Quentin became an educational institution, training parolees as welders or as chefs for the merchant marine. Cities are world-class junk piles and this scrap, like high-grade steel from abandoned trolley tracks, came in handy too.
Today, Californians take city advantages for granted, so it is instructive to think of the opposite case. During World War II the government had to site many installations in the rural South and West, where it had to build many of the services that urban areas already contained. The military tried to locate these institutions close to some kind of town, even a small one. In short, Bay Area cities supplied many of the most pressing military needs. In martial terms, they were a force multiplier.

(covers information from several alternate timelines)
A reader tube was a multipurpose piece of mid-23rd century medical technology, specifically designed for field use, and typically issued with a standard medkit. It was also commonly used in sickbay surgeries as well. (TOS: "Space Seed", "Journey to Babel", "Return to Tomorrow", "The Lights of Zetar")
The reader tube, which was similar in function to a medical scanner, was used while placed near the patient's skin, and would display multicolored lights representing numerous body readings, including the heart rate, pulse rate, body temperature, and blood pressure. It was also capable of detecting the toxin level in a patient's body. (TAS: "The Infinite Vulcan") The reader tube could also be used as a surgical device. (TOS: "For the World is Hollow and I Have Touched the Sky")
In the alternate reality created by Nero's temporal incursion, Doctor Leonard McCoy used a reader tube to examine a Enterprise crew member in the aftermath of the destruction of Vulcan. (Star Trek)
In 2268, Doctor Leonard McCoy used a reader tube during his emergency heart surgery on Ambassador Sarek. (TOS: "Journey to Babel") Later that year, Spock used a reader tube to remove Dr. McCoy's instrument of obedience. McCoy in turn would also use a reader tube to remove Natira's instrument of obedience. (TOS: "For the World is Hollow and I Have Touched the Sky")
In 2269, Dr. McCoy used a reader tube to monitor Hikaru Sulu's progress after recovering from the poison of the retlaw plant on Phylos. (TAS: "The Infinite Vulcan")

I would consider it an essential resource to add to my personal library. The primary audience is pulmonologists, intensivists, and primary care internists, but nurses, respiratory therapists, and rehabilitators would undoubtedly find it selectively informative." – Joel C Seidman, MD(William Beaumont Hospitals), Doody's Review Service – 4 Stars
"Without a doubt, this text is a must for serious students of pulmonary medicine, whether in training, academic tenure, or mature clinical practice." – JAMA
REVIEW OF 4th EDITION:
'It goes without saying that this is a thorough, in depth review of chest medicine and as far as I could see, leaves nothing out. I was pleased to see this is a book for active physicians rather than researchers or scientists. It is aimed squarely at the specialists but generalists such as GPs or specialists in other but related disciplines would also find this book a good reference source. I also liked the principal that associated non respiratory problems are covered in detail. Take for example, Sarcoidosis, which has always been classified as a chest disease but is also a multi-system disease. The chapter on Sarcoidosis is an excellent review of the whole topic and not just the pulmonary aspects. In addition, there are excellent chapters on issues that you don't always find such as air pollution high altitude and diving medicine.
Importantly the book is readable, and relevant to physicians and adopts a well rounded approach to informing the doctor what he or she needs to know. The depth of detail achieved is just right and this book has an encyclopedic feel to it. There are plenty of illustrations in the book but in the main, this is primarily a text based reference source.'– June 2006 Dr Harry Brown www.univadis.com

Pick the shirts that has about a 100 votes or more to make the winning decisions faster.
Nooooo. While that would mean I'd automatically have two prints, haha, I still think it's better that the decision isn't based on just votes.
Yea, i agree it shouldn't be based on just votes. But the designs that has 100 votes or more usually has execution, rich detail, & some thinking outside of the box techniques (more than usual). I meant They should judge only the designs that has past 100 votes (only), not automatically decide that it's winner. And 4 the good designs that hasn't past that # yet, they should work hard on getting it past 100. (
You seem to know a lot about the contest and everything.
I have a question for you.
When i try to upload my design it say's something about type not being included or something like that.
Is there an easy way or is there any hint that you can give me so i can upload my design for the KISS contest?
-thanks for your help
how does one try and become a model for design by humans?
Hey Cheeto !
thanks a lot man, I will wait for the Jimiyo's email… I hope he contact me very soon, It's unbelieve that I'm one of the winners !
Thanks a lot again man!
