I've recently finished my eighth version of the "Automation Systems Marketplace" which will appear in the April 1 issue of Library Journal. This article provides a great opportunity for me to get detailed data from the companies involved in the library automation industry regarding their activities over the last year. Each year companies respond to a survey where they are asked to respond to specific questions regarding the numbers of systems sold, the personnel employed, and the like. In general, the companies involved cooperate very nicely in responding with information that seems accurate and complete.
In addition to the self-reported information provided by the companies involved in the industry, I aim to gather data from other perspectives. The "Perceptions 2008: An international Survey of Library Automation" aims to gather information from the libraries' perspective. While the data from this survey isn't comprehensive, it has been helpful in identifying or confirming broad trends.
Ideally, I would like to have open and comprehensive data regarding the library automation technologies used in libraries. For the last decade, I have been working toward developing the lib-web-cats directory of libraries to fulfill this function. It would be great to have a comprehensive account of the automation products used in all of the libraries throughout the world. Such a database would be valuable to any library in need of objective data as they make decisions regarding their automation strategies and when going through procurement processes.
The ideal of creating a comprehensive database of libraries that registers the automation products in use exceeds what can be accomplished by any single individual. It requires participation by libraries and willingness to provide data on their automation components. A small amount of effort by each library will result in a powerful resource that provides information to a broad audience. It would be great if visitors to Library Technology Guides would take a few moments to check lib-web-cats to be sure that the entry for any libraries with which they are involved is accurate and complete. Even better readers might make use of distribution lists of which librarians in their geographic region or specialty to solicit other libraries to submit their data.
Thanks in advance for any assistance provided in gathering data regarding libraries and their automation products.

Removed. I think programming five years straight causes the mind to draw up conclusions on programming and on other people. I was wrong, and I understand your points. Everyone here has insight to game programming whether it is graphics, gameplay, etc. I should take advantage of your input more often rather than categorizing everyone. I could be right or wrong, but the post wasn't necessary other than proving I need a vacation. Anyway, I'm sorry and I hope you guys can forgive my nonsense. I'm still learning from others. I have no reason to be biased against them.
I'll confess that one of my reasons includes writing software engines. I feel like a god when I write them, so I have felt that I am more superior than the rest. Another reason may include that writing to forums for years about Tricks and software had led to several arguements and that's all my mind wants to do now: arguements. A third reason includes a different attitude on the web. I'm actually normal in person, but on the web I seem more angry probably due to those bad experiences. It always had to do with my recommendations and they were probably bad to begin with on my side. I'll just stop recommending them because trying to get today's 3D to work in software is indeed a frustrating process. I'm just going to work in hardware now to reduce this stress (that's what it's there for!), and I'll definitely start listening more. I hope you guys will know later that I am trying.

Although Microsoft fixed four flaws in Internet Explorer (IE) this week, it did not address a protocol-handling problem that could trick users into downloading malware, a move that surprised at least one security researcher. The company, however, said it has reopened its investigation and may provide a patch in the future.
"I was prepared to talk about a patch yesterday," said Andrew Storms, director of security operations at nCircle Network Security. "I expected to see Microsoft retract its prior stance and fix this."
Storms was referring to the position that Microsoft first staked out in July -- that Windows and IE are not to blame for the protocol-handling vulnerabilities cited by multiple researchers. This week, the blame game returned when Juergen Schmidt of Heiese Security said IE 7 passed invalid Uniform Resource Identifiers (URI) to Windows XP, a bug that attackers could exploit to launch malicious code or scripts if users simply clicked on a link.
When Schmidt asked Microsoft if it intended to patch IE 7, he said he received an answer identical to comments the company made last summer: "After its thorough investigation, Microsoft has revealed that this is not a vulnerability in a Microsoft product."
Researchers, including nCircle's Storms, disagree. "I still believe they have to do something," he said. "Every application should do its own part to provide security."
In fact, Microsoft may be rethinking the situation. When Computerworld asked the company for comment on Schmidt's claims, it indicated it had reopened its examination. A spokesman said: "Microsoft is aware of reports of a potential issue in the way that Windows handles URLs passed in from other applications. Microsoft is continuing its investigation into this issue. Once we're done investigating, we will take appropriate action to help protect customers. This may include providing an update or additional guidance for customers."
Previously, Microsoft had stated several times that its engineers had concluded that the vulnerability was in third-party applications, and therefore, not its responsibility.
To complicate matters, Thomas Kristensen, the chief technology officer for Danish vulnerability tracker Secunia, said he reported a protocol-handling vulnerability in Outlook Express 6 and Outlook 2000 to Microsoft earlier this week. The two e-mail programs can be exploited if users are duped into clicking specially-crafted, spoofed links within VCards, the electronic business card file format used to exchange contact information. Microsoft patched Outlook Express 6, but the fix was for a different bug.
"Microsoft is now affected by their own design," Kristensen said in an e-mail. "We hope that Microsoft now chooses the right path and creates a general fix for Windows and IE 7 rather than start patching all their own applications and ask third-party vendors to do the same."
Other security researchers aren't as optimistic that Microsoft will make a 180-degree turn. "I kind of think they're saying they still really think it's someone else's problem, but if enough people yell at them, they'll do some fixing, too," Roger Thompson, chief technology officer at Exploit Prevention Labs, said when asked to comment on Microsoft's latest response.
Thompson, for one, was also less concerned with the debate over responsibility. "No one is using this in the wild, as far as we can see. That's the whole thing, the stuff that really counts is what gets used, not what might happen."

After years of men using women's pantyhose during robberies, a woman has finally turned to masculine accouterment to disguise her identity — though everyone saw right through it. Witnesses say a woman who was dressed as a man and had a "drawn on" beard walked into a branch of the Bank of Tuscaloosa in Alabama, told tellers she had a bomb, and made off with an undisclosed amount of money. Pro tip: Next time you're trying to pass off your crimes on a dude, invest in some spirit gum.

Top-ranked Lady Flames shut out Eagles
January 18, 2013 | Chicago, Ill.
Liberty University's Division I women's hockey team, ranked No. 1 in the nation, shut out fourth-ranked Robert Morris University 3-0 in the first game of a two-game series Friday night in Chicago.
"Our girls worked really hard and kept the mission alive," Liberty head coach Paul Bloomfield said. "I was very proud of the determination that our girls put forth. They wanted the win and worked really hard to have it."
Stacey McCombe started the scoring off an assist from Sarah Stevenson with 4:20 left in the first period.
"They were just working it in their end and Sarah got a little chip out to Stacey and she buried it," Bloomfield said. "The goalie didn't have a chance to respond."
Seven minutes into the second period, the Lady Flames worked the puck up ice with Courtney Fischer sending an assist to defender Autumn Kucharczyk, who took advantage of Robert Morris's goalkeeper being screened and rocketed a shot past her.
Finally, with 6:44 left in the second, Nikki McCombe received a pass from Keeley Besinger and netted the final goal.
Samantha Rupp posted the shutout for the Lady Flames in goal.
"Sam played an excellent game and was rewarded with another shutout," Bloomfield said.
Robert Morris (18-4-2) had lost two out of three games in its last series against Rhode Island after tying Massachusetts and Ohio State in its previous two games.
The Lady Flames will return to the ice in Chicago at 8:30 p.m. (EST) Saturday night to conclude the series.

When movie stars and athletes pose for a glossy, colorful poster, it's routine. But when Bill Ward of Landenberg, Pa., was asked to star in a BSA national campaign, it was a life-changing moment.
That's a 12-year-old Bill on the right in the poster seen here. Fifty-seven years later, the image is still a cherished memory for him.
Here's how Bill remembers it in a letter he sent to me:
One of the highlights of my Scouting career was being selected to pose for the 1954 National BSA poster. From left to right the poster depicts Bill Shimpf (Explorer Scout), Jack Gallager (Scoutmaster), Ed Saunders (Cub Scout), and me. We were all proud members of Troop 179 of the BSA Cradle of Liberty Council in Philadelphia. Unfortunately, the artist changed our troop patch to 79. I was 12 years old at the time, and this was my 15 minutes of fame. We were interviewed on local television, and there were rumors of an appearance on the "Loretta Young Show" in New York CIty. We never made that trip, but the poster did, and it was broadcast on national television.
I loved my years with Troop 179, and I eventually earned the rank of Eagle Scout. I'm a little older now, but find every day that I still use the knowledge and skills I acquired then. I'm very pleased that my son Adam and grandson Zachary are active in BSA Troop 5 in Austin, Tex. I hope their experiences in Scouting are as positive and long-lasting as were mine.
That's truly something to be proud of, Bill. Thanks for passing it along.
Now it's your turn to send me your favorite piece of Scouting memorabilia. Here's how:
- Take a high-res .jpg image of your favorite Scouting item.
- Just select one to send me (I know that picking one could be hard, but please try!).
- The file must be less than 2 MB in size.
- E-mail it to me with the subject line "Memorabilia" to email@example.com.
- Include your name, position, and council.
- Tell me why this item is special to you.

Ask a Physicist Answers
Is there a particular range of frequencies at which parts of the human body (or the human body overall) normally vibrates? Because in an episode of the sci-fi TV series Fringe, they claimed that they could figure out if one character was from this universe or a parallel universe by measuring the frequency at which he was vibrating.
Asked by: Brandon Juhl from Washington
The short answer is, as far as we know: no. The idea that there is some vibration frequency of the body that is unique to our universe, and would allow us to determine whether someone is from our universe or not, sounds like a plot device that was invented for the purposes of the story.
In real life, we have no way of knowing whether there is some sort of measurable quantity that is unique to our universe, since ours is the only universe we know of. We have no other examples to serve as a basis for comparison.
It's possible that there are other universes in existence and that they may have different physical laws than ours, but at the moment that's pure speculation. The only universe whose existence we know about is our own.
The only real-life idea that comes to mind that might come close to the concept you mention from the story is the idea of "blackbody radiation". This is a kind of electromagnetic radiation emitted by any object that has a non-zero temperature.
An example of an infrared photograph.

The radiation is emitted over a range of frequencies, and has its peak intensity at a particular frequency that's related to the temperature through a physical principle called "Wien's law". The higher the frequency of peak intensity, the hotter the object. A common example is the burner on a stove, which emits blackbody radiation with its peak in the red part of the visible-light spectrum when the burner is on "high", so it glows red.
We can use Wien's law to estimate the temperature of the surface of the Sun. We find that the Sun emits blackbody radiation with the peak intensity at a frequency of about 600 terahertz. According to Wien's law, this corresponds to a surface temperature of about 10,000 degrees Fahrenheit.
Similarly, a human body temperature of 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit corresponds to a blackbody radiation frequency of about 32 terahertz, which is in the infrared part of the spectrum. Human bodies emit infrared radiation, which is the principle behind "night vision" goggles: they convert infrared light to visible light, allowing the wearer to see warm bodies glowing in infrared light.

According to a report from ESPN, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are shopping the veteran CB and plan on releasing him Wednesday if they cant find a trade partner. https://www.cheapbucksonline.com/ . His head snapped back from the impact and hit the floor. The All-Star power forward was all right afterward, a relief for the Minnesota Timberwolves. NEW YORK -- Serena Williams big lead in the U.S. Open final suddenly was gone. Her serve was shaky. Her hard-hitting opponent, Victoria Azarenka, was presenting problems, and so was the gusting wind. A couple of foot-fault calls added to the angst. As a jittery Williams headed to the sideline after dropping a set for the first time in the tournament, she chucked her racket, which ricocheted onto the court. When play resumed, in the crucible of a third set, Williams put aside everything and did what she does best: She came through in the clutch to win a major match. Facing her only test of the past two weeks, the No. 1-seeded Williams overcame No. 2 Azarenka 7-5, 6-7 (6), 6-1 on Sunday for her 17th Grand Slam championship. "When youre always trying to write history, or join history in my case, maybe you just get a little more nervous than you should. I also think its kind of cool, because it means that it means a lot to you. It means a lot to me, this trophy," Williams said, pointing her right hand at her fifth silver cup from the U.S. Open, "and every single trophy that I have." That collection keeps growing. Williams has won twice in a row at Flushing Meadows -- beating Azarenka in three sets each time -- and four of the past six major tournaments overall. Her 17 titles are the sixth-most in history for a woman, only one behind Martina Navratilova and Chris Evert, and the same total as the mens record-holder, Roger Federer. "It feels really good to be in that same league as him," said Williams, who earned $3.6 million in prize money. This one did not come easily, even though it appeared to be nearly over when Williams went ahead by two breaks at 4-1 in the second set. She served for the match at 5-4 and 6-5 -- only to have the gutsy Azarenka, a two-time Australian Open winner, break each time. Williams is 67-4 with a career-high nine titles in 2013, but two of those losses came against Azarenka. A year ago, they played the first three-set womens final in New York since 1995. This time, they went the distance again, a total of 2 hours, 45 minutes, because Azarenka was superior in the tiebreaker. "I got a little uptight, which probably wasnt the best thing at that moment," Williams said. "I wasnt playing very smart tennis then, so I just had to relax and not do that again." So after the second set, Williams gave herself a pep talk. She regrouped and regained control. "In the third set, Serena really found a way to calm down and restart from zero and quickly erase what happened," said her coach, Patrick Mouratoglou. Azarenka helped a bit, with two of her seven double-faults coming when she got broken to trail 3-1 in the third. That pretty much sealed it, because Williams was not about to falter again. "Shes a champion, and she knows how to repeat that. She knows what it takes to get there. I know that feeling, too. And when two people who want that feeling so bad meet, its like a clash," Azarenka said, pounding her fists together. At the outset, though, the 15 mph wind that swirled in Arthur Ashe Stadium bothered Williams as much as Azarenka did. "It wasnt pleasant," Azarenka said. Williams caught service tosses. She grabbed at her skirt to keep it from flying up. Most troubling, she was thrown off by balls that danced oddly. Six off the first 16 points ended with unforced errors by Williams, which allowed Azarenka to go ahead 2-1. Custom Milwaukee Bucks Jerseys. . Looking hesitant at times, Williams did not show the same dominance she had while dropping only 16 games during six victories through the semifinals. "The wind was unbelievable today," Williams said. "It just got worse and worse. It just never let up." She needed to adjust, and she did. Her serve, as usual, made a big difference: Williams hit nine aces, one at 126 mph. Still, four times, Azarenka was only two points from taking the opening set. At one such moment, with Williams serving at deuce after a double-fault, she was called for a foot fault, erasing what would have been a 121 mph ace. There was another foot-fault call in the second set, too. They brought back memories of the Americans loss to Kim Clijsters in the 2009 semifinals, when Williams was docked a point, and later fined, for a tirade against a line judge over a foot-fault call. There was no such outburst directed at officials this time, although there was that racket toss. After the call in the matchs 10th game, Williams simply put a hand to her face, composed herself, and won the point with a down-the-line backhand she celebrated with a fist pump, some foot stomping and a yell of "Come on!" Williams wound up holding there with a 104 mph ace, part of what seemed to be a match-altering stretch. She won five consecutive games and 16 of 18 points to take the first set and go up a break in the second. "You could see she clicked," Mouratoglou said. "She realized she was not aggressive enough. She was letting Vika dictate too much, and all of a sudden, things completely changed." Well, at least for a while. Azarenka did manage to make competitive again, which shouldnt surprise anyone. She was, after all, 31-1 on hard courts entering Sunday, including a victory over Williams last month at Mason, Ohio. But when it came time to close the deal yet again, Williams shined. She delivered six of the third sets eight winners and forced Azarenka into 15 miscues. Soon enough, Williams was hopping up and down after finishing with a service winner. She kept pumping her fist afterward, even while sipping from a water bottle. "She really made it happen," Azarenka said. "In that particular moment, she was tougher today. She was more consistent, and she deserved to win." Williams became the first woman to surpass $9 million in prize money in a single season, while topping $50 million for her career. She also equaled Steffi Graf with five U.S. Open titles, one behind Everts record of six in the Open era, which began in 1968. Williams never had won two consecutive U.S. Opens, but now she has, adding to the trophies she earned in New York in 1999 -- at age 17 -- then 2002 and 2008. Those go alongside five from Wimbledon, five from the Australian Open, and two from the French Open, which she won this year. "Being older, its always awesome and such a great honour, because I dont know if Ill ever win another Grand Slam. Obviously I hope so," said Williams, who turns 32 on Sept. 26. "Its different now, because when I won earlier, it was just one or two or three or four. Now its like 16, 17. It has more meaning (for) history, as opposed to just winning a few." ' ' '

In certain physical situations (such as a plasma or the ionosphere) all the electrons are essentially ``free'' (in a degenerate ``gas'' surrounding the positive charges) and resonant damping is neglible. In that case this relation can hold for frequencies well below (but well above the static limit, since plasmas are low frequency ``conductors''). Waves incident on a plasma are reflected and the fields inside fall off exponentially away from the surface. Note that
The reflectivity of metals is caused by essentially the same mechanism. At high frequencies, the dielectric constant of a metal has the form
Metals reflect according to this rule (with a very small field penetration length of ``skin depth'') as long as the dielectric constant is negative; in the ultraviolet it becomes positive and metals can become transparent. Just one of many problems involved in making high ultraviolet, x-ray and gamma ray lasers -- it is so hard to make a mirror!

TELUS CEO again invests stock option proceeds in TELUS shares Français
Feb 27, 2013, 07:00 ET
TELUS President and CEO Darren Entwistle exercised 303,183 options, purchasing 122,475 shares with entire after-tax proceeds
VANCOUVER, Feb. 27, 2013 /CNW/ - Yesterday TELUS President and CEO Darren Entwistle exercised 303,183 common share options, re-investing the after-tax proceeds to purchase 122,475 TELUS common shares. Mr. Entwistle now holds 668,830 TELUS common shares.
Investing in TELUS shares is consistent with Mr. Entwistle's past practice, aligning his interests with those of TELUS' more than 300,000 shareholders and demonstrating his continuing confidence in the company's strategy.
As previously disclosed, Mr. Entwistle is taking his 2013 cash salary compensation in TELUS shares for the fourth straight year.
Earlier this month when TELUS released its fourth quarter financial results, Mr. Entwistle noted the company's strong free cash flow and 2013 targeted growth in EBITDA and EPS support TELUS' shareholder dividend growth model. This is a three-year plan to increase share dividends by approximately 10 per cent a year to the end of 2013.
It was also disclosed that TELUS will update investors, at its upcoming annual general meeting on May 9, on TELUS' dividend growth model for the next three years to 2016 and the company's intentions with respect to a multi-year share repurchase program.
Forward looking statement
This news release contains statements about future events of TELUS that are forward-looking. By their nature, forward-looking statements require the Company to make assumptions and predictions and are subject to inherent risks and uncertainties. There is significant risk that the forward-looking statements will not prove to be accurate. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements as a number of factors could cause actual future performance and events to differ materially from that expressed in the forward-looking statements. Accordingly, this news release is subject to the disclaimer and qualified by the assumptions (including assumptions for 2013 annual targets and semi-annual dividend increases to 2013), qualifications and risk factors referred to in the fourth quarter 2012 Management review of operations and Management's discussion and analysis in the other 2012 quarterly reports and 2011 annual report, and in other TELUS public disclosure documents and filings with securities commissions in Canada (on SEDAR at sedar.com) and in the United States (on EDGAR at sec.gov). In addition, there can be no assurance that the Company will initiate a normal course issuer bid in 2013 or maintain its dividend growth model beyond 2013. Except as required by law, TELUS disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise forward-looking statements, and reserves the right to change, at any time at its sole discretion, its current practice of updating annual targets and guidance.

I am trying to generate nuclear extracts from tissue. Most of the buffers for this protocol contain HEPES, and I have seen a variety of pHs listed: 7.6, 7.9, and 8.0, with 7.9 being by far the most common. Does anyone know how sensitive this protocol is to pH and how much variability it will tolerate?
I ask because I just made HEPES, aiming for pH 7.9 and resulting in pH 7.95, and I'm wondering if that's ok. If not, what acid should I use to adjst the pH down? I used KOH to increase it.
Also, if anyone has insight into why pH 7.9 is the most desired, I would like to know.
Thank you.

Different protocols use different pH because that is what is on their bench at the time.
I always use pH 7.4. I don't think it matters as long as you are within the 7.4 -8 range.

As an advisor specializing in retirement planning, you know that client overspending can have significant consequences that can threaten their retirement and erode their nest eggs. Overspending refers to a continuous pattern of spending, characterized by difficulty differentiating between "wants" and "needs" that threatens a client's retirement distribution plan. If your clients are spending at an unsustainable rate, assets like their home may be at risk, or they may take drastic steps to make ends meet without consulting you.
Clients whose spending threatens their retirement have three basic choices:
- Stop overspending,
- Compromise on retirement goals or
- Work longer.
Because clients who are accustomed to years of overspending may not be able to entirely curb those habits, a combination of these approaches may prove necessary.
When developing their plan, you must begin the conversation about overspending. You might be uncomfortable talking to clients about overspending, but it's crucial that you do. You could approach them with "gentle guidance," or you may want to apply a "shock therapy" approach by being blunt about the impact of overspending. You might be also consider using both methods: start out gently and if they don't respond take a more assertive approach.
Here are a few ways to use an assertive approach:
- Hand your client a calendar and say: Please indicate the date on this calendar when you want to receive your last distribution check.
- What are you going to do when you run out of money?
- What will it feel like to ask a friend or family member for money so you can eat?
- Do you think it will be easier to get a job at age 75 or to cut back a little now?
- Which of your children are you planning to live with when your money runs out? Have you spoken to them to see if that's going to be okay? How do you think that will impact their family?
By asking shocking questions, your clients will feel in their gut what it will be like to run out of money. Ask the questions as gently as you can, but the shock effect may be the only way to get through to some clients.
You will have the most impact on your clients who are overspending by instituting formal written spending policies to help educate, set expectations and manage withdrawals effectively. If you encounter client resistance to suggestions for curbing spending or following a written spending policy, you may want to enlist the help of his or her accountant or estate attorney. The accountant can reinforce the differentiation between wants and needs, the importance of adhering to a spending policy and the consequences of continued overspending.
An estate attorney can help your client understand that uncontrolled spending will jeopardize plans for leaving a legacy to their heirs or charitable organizations. The key is to help the client more solidly feel the disconnect between their current behavior and their long-term goals.
Of course, some clients may view working longer or returning to work as the "safety net" if their retirement funds become uncomfortably low. That expectation may be unrealistic, particularly given uncertain employment markets and the likelihood of health issues for retirees. But for clients who cannot or will not control their spending, working longer may seem like the answer. You can help clients who make this choice by encouraging them to create a "work longer" plan to avoid forced retirement earlier than desired.
Making compromises on retirement goals will likely require helping the client prioritize expenses using a budget and sticking to a spending plan. Like any skill, creating and living within a budget requires practice, which is best undertaken before the client retires.
Understanding the reasons clients overspend and the stages they go through in changing their behavior can help you be more successful in helping clients. You should expect some resistance and relapses once clients agree to take action; just be prepared to help clients get back on track and toward a comfortable retirement.

The surgery was as text book as the doctor could have asked for with the lumpectomy. Her recovery from it is slow and steady. She has issues with nausea from the anesthetic and pain pills. She was wearing a path to assist with this but wanted it removed as she kept touching it. She is weak and somewhat frail, which concerns me as her platelets and blood count was low prior to surgery even though she did not need a transfusion. A stead supply of crackers and ginger ale have kept the nausea at bay for now.Cougar wrote:Thanks everyone. I spent a quite day with my family. My wife let me sleep in and then made brunch of biscuits and gravy. For Dinner, she made crab rangoons, TGI Friday fried green beans, some cheesy potatoes, and a full pound of snow crab.
Overall a great day but it tomorrow that concerns me the most and gave me agony tonight. I had to tell my 11 year old son that his mother has breast cancer. That thus far is the hardest thing I have ever had to do in my life. She is going in for surgery tomorrow, err well later today. We are optimist and hopeful, but I will not breathe easy until she is in recovery. This is actually why my play time has been sporadic the last couple of weeks. If she calls I just drop what I'm doing even in the middle of a game and rarely then do I log out. If anything this has brought us closer together of late.
Now to get some sleep if I can.
Just as she is starting to get better we got news from the pathology report on her lymph nodes. The cancer has spread farther than was anticipated. Now comes the difficult part of dealing with scheduling chemotherapy and perhaps even hormone therapy. I am already researching other types of therapies as well.
The difficult part is my wife is already thinking her life is over. Being strong and optimistic can only hold her so long. Offering my shoulders and wishing I could just absorb the cancer into myself so she would not have to suffer. I consider myself a strong individual but this is tearing me apart.
I find myself numb and praying more often than not. Sleep is for necessity only right now, as I try to keep her comforted and yet a watchful eye and ready to assist where I can.
I offer my gratitude for the prayers, wishes, and good feelings on my wife's behalf. I will do my best to keep this thread updated as more news becomes available.
Thank you,
aka Tom

This special feature is the difference between sequential art and other arts--the reason why I consider it to be a seperate artistic pursuit (and therefore why I think it shouldn't be lumped with illustration or animation, although at most art schools it still is). I think one should avoid going straight from script to final comic--there should be many drafts in between that involve the words and the pictures(/sketches) together, interacting on the page. Make these in-between drafts, leave them alone for a few days, and come back to them with fresh eyes to see how they would read. Don't be afraid to edit heavily. Change a word, change a line, change the position of all the word balloons, change the "camera" angle, change all the panelling, change the focus of the scene, cut the scene entirely. Don't let yourself reach a point where you don't want to bother throwing something away simply because you've already inked and lettered it.qwanderer wrote:...if you don't make a comic more than a combination of the two then it's just an illustrated story. The page design and the interaction of the two are what make comics unique.
When you're writing and drawing, try to be ever vigilant of the relationship between your words and pictures. Consider the effect of making the two mirror each other exactly, or symbolize one another, or directly contradict one another, or pull out second and third meanings from each other.

text: A few weeks back, we discussed whether a new GPU like the GeForce GTX 660 could breathe new life into an older quad-core gaming system built in mid 2008. The answer concluded was definitely yes but many readers asked to reconsider the question, this time using a lower-end dual-core Core 2 Duo. The Core 2 Duo CPU chip used was a first-generation C2D part based on Intel's 65nm Conroe core. It's clocked at 3GHz with 4MB of L2 cache and has a 1333MHz FSB. The CPU was paired with 3GB of DDR2-1066 memory. The long and short of it is, you can upgrade the graphics card on a six year-old dual core machine and expect to see a noticeable improvement in game performance significant gains in fact, up to 50 percent or more."

For a lad who got kicked out of school with no qualifications, Aidan Moffat has an impressive CV. He started out shaping the future of Scottish indie with Arab Strap, and last year he and Bill Wells released the remarkable album Everything's Getting Older, to what seemed like unanimous acclaim.
This month sees the pair of them go off on tour (you can see them in Sheffield with us if you like) and release a brand new song, 'The Powers And Glory Of Love'. I say song – Aidan drunkenly accepted a bizarre challenge made on Twitter, to create a song combining the music of Jennifer Rush, Frankie Goes To Hollywood and Huey Lewis And The News, who all had hits in the eighties called 'The Power Of Love'. The track he and Bill subsequently created is a surprising success, which even has bits of 'The Glory Of Love' by Peter Cetera thrown in for good measure.
Here, Aidan explains his love of eighties pop, and also tells us about his new L. Pierre solo album, a fascinating project he's planning with Edinburgh's premier experimentalists FOUND, being a dad, The Brits and going to see The Saturdays. Before we get to that though, if you follow Aidan on Twitter, you might have heard that he lost his hat…
DiS: The important question – did you find your hat?
Aidan Moffat: No, I didn't find my hat. Two people went to the car park in Falkirk where I think that I lost it and they didn't find it but I suspect it might be in the park as well. I loved that hat. I bought it on an Arab Strap tour in 2001 or 2002 and I've loved that hat for ten years. I only hope that someone has it now and they're enjoying it but I suspect it's probably in a bin.
DiS: Well, looking to the future, you have a new track coming out, the gestation of which almost sounds as though it was joke to start with.
AM: I didn't expect it to work. We weren't even planning to release it but the final thing came out pretty well so we're quite chuffed with it.
DiS: When the gauntlet is laid down, you kind of have to put something out.
AM: To be honest mate, I was drunk when I replied, then the next day I went, 'Oh fuck, I completely forgot all about that'. But the idea was great. I know a couple of DJs who won't play it because they hate the songs that we've covered which is quite funny because that never occurred to me. I have a genuine affection for all these songs, the Jennifer Rush one especially, but they're not songs I'd listen to every day.
DiS: I did wonder whether music of that period genuinely appealed to you, or was it tongue-in-cheek?
AM: No, there's no irony involved. I still have all of those records. It isn't intended to be funny at all. It's a very genuine thing. I mean, I love these songs. So no, it's not meant to be funny or tongue-in-cheek but it's meant to be fun.
DiS: You can see how it might be taken as a bit of a jibe because it's a strange idea. If you think of the Aidan Moffat of a song like 'The Copper Top' now covering Frankie Goes To Hollywood – it's a strange contrast.
AM: It doesn't seem that strange to me though. I know other people might think it peculiar but I think if anyone came in and looked at my record collection they'd be quite surprised.
DiS: Would you ever cover a contemporary pop song, or is there something about that particular period in the eighties that you think nailed it?
AM: I think a lot of the stuff I hear in pop music now is pretty dire but I think some of it is fantastic. I really loved the Nicola Roberts album last year. I like half of Cher Lloyd's album. I've got quite a thing for The Saturdays. I went to see The Saturdays recently and the Scottish Exhibition and Conference Centre in Glasgow. It was slightly disappointing to be honest with you. I mean, it was good, they did everything well, they performed as well as can be expected. They're not that bad but I just don't think it was the kind of atmosphere I like – plus I was surrounded by loads of screaming children which was quite annoying. And even worse than that was their mothers. The kids are screaming and the mums are trying to calm them down so it just ends up with families having arguments.
DiS: What did you make of The Brits?
AM: I thought The Brits was pretty horrific all-round to be honest with you. I mean, there is very little about The Brits which is related to artistic merit in any sense whatsoever. It's just about celebrating who makes the most money by the looks of it to me. I can't really be bothered with it. All awards to a degree are backslapping events. I find them all quite tedious. Thankfully I've never been in one of them so the day that I become part of an awards thing, that's when my attitude will change!
DiS: What if Arab Strap got the Outstanding Contribution thing that Blur got – would you reform and perform at the o2?
AM: In the very unlikely event that that happens we'd have to wait and see. I'd love to tell you that we'd knock them back but you never know! The comfortable position I'm in is that I don't ever have to worry about making decisions like that.
DiS: Unless with this hidden affection for pop music – would you ever want to make an all-out pop record yourself?
AM: No, no. I've never been beautiful enough or positive enough to make that sort of music. You have to make records that work with yourself. What I choose to write about isn't the sort of thing that pop music tends to be about. All pop music is really about shagging isn't it, when you think about it? But not the way I write about it.
DiS: There's a sense of humour in your music though. The idea of you and Bill Wells covering Frankie Goes To Hollywood and Jennifer Rush, it's a funny idea in a sense, but the track itself is really beautiful. I was listening to 'Man Of The Cloth' from the last EP and it's got that line about you dressing as a minister so you can go to a fancy dress party as a paedophile and that line just slays me, but the song itself, there's a lot of isolation in it and a real insecurity.
AM: Well that's the thing, people pick up on the humour. But underneath that there's a guy who has to get dressed up and go to a stranger's party and not really connect with someone so it is a pretty dark thing, but the only way to write about these things is with a sense of humour. That's what I've always done since Arab Strap. The criticism was we were miserable but I don't think the people who paid attention to the records ever really thought that. We dealt with a lot of really dark feelings but there was always a sense of humour there and that's the only way to do it. No one wants to spend fifty minutes with a double album if it's all just fucking misery.
DiS: When it came to doing stuff with Bill Wells, was that a challenge, because musically it's very different from the stuff you're best known for?
AM: I didn't really see it like that. Obviously Bill's music comes from a jazz root but I've never really heard it as jazz music so it didn't really seem like a different genre to me. It seemed like a perfectly natural thing to do and very early on when we first started it seemed to work right away. With Arab Strap we were two young mates and we started a band because we were pals; Bill and I met because of a mutual affection and respect for our music so you kind of have a different attitude going into that. Arab Strap, we were just fucking about at the start, we were lucky that people liked it and then we started to take it seriously.
DiS: The live show, what can people expect from that?
AM: It's going to be a bit more sedate than some of the songs on the album. I mean, it's a pretty sedate record anyway. It's a very adaptable thing. We did a gig in Glasgow recently with just piano, trumpet and vocal and it worked really well and people seemed to really enjoy it. Up until now we've really been doing a lot of the stuff with a band and then we did a four-piece tour in Europe which went really well and now we know we can do three-piece. But it's a test for the songs to see if they work in those ways and it seems to be pretty adaptable so we're pretty chuffed because I quite like going out and playing different versions of the songs live. When I see a band and they sound exactly like the record I find it a bit tedious.
DiS: And I think there's a certain kind of simplicity to the arrangements on the album, which means you can be flexible with playing about with it a bit.
AM: Yeah, and I have more fun if we're going out and doing something different anyway. I've always believed if the guys on stage are having fun the audience can tell and that means the audience can enjoy it too. I remember those times in Arab Strap where we would be playing the same songs so often, doing long tours, and the audience knows you're just bored with it. That was when we would do different versions of songs and have a bit more freedom in how they were played and I think that's the way to do things. I think people should get something different for their money going to a gig too. I've already got the record at home, I don't want to hear the record, I want to pay to have a different experience, you know?
DiS: Is your work with Bill Wells your main job now?
AM: We are working on a new record soon. I've got a folder on my computer with about fifty tunes that Bill has given me that I have to sift through and find the ones that I want to use and then I think we're going to try and get it ready for next year. And there's other plans with that as well. I think we're going to try and expand. Shall we just say it may well be more than just an album.
I used to make records under the name L. Pierre and I've got a new one of those coming out in June on Melodic. I didn't really think I would do one again. I had pretty much buried that then I started messing about at the end of last year and a few weeks later I had an album, so I thought, 'Why not?' There's no point having it sitting on the computer, I might as well do something with it. So that comes out in June and then I think Bill's got a record with a band called The National Jazz Trio Of Scotland, which are neither a trio nor jazz but that's what they're called. So we've both got other things to do but we're definitely doing another record.
There's another thing as well! You know the band FOUND? I've just done an installation thing with them called Unravel, which we hope is going to be an album and an app and things too. If it happens there should be an album that changes every time you listen to it.
DiS: Right…?
AM: It's difficult to explain what Unravel is. From the audience's point of view you go into a room and there's a keyboard, a set of musical pipes and a drum kit, all with robotics with them, and a record player with a bunch of seven-inch singles. Now, these are my seven-inch singles. There's ten of them, so you take out one and you play the record, but instead of the song that the record used to have on it, there'll be a short story from me about a memory connected with that song and the accompaniment will be the robots in the room. But, the story changes dependent on different factors, like if you go in after four o'clock, which we're using as the watershed, then you'll hear a more racy, filthy version of the story with lots of swear words. If Twitter says that people like the installation you'll get a happier, more confident performance or if it's raining for instance, the weather affects the mood of the installation as well. So hopefully the idea is people go and hear something different depending on when they go.
There's talk of doing a gig with it as well and we've even talked about doing a wee tour with it or something but we're not quite sure yet. You need to keep the idea as part of it so we were talking about how we could do a gig where the audience can choose what versions of the songs we do. I think there's like 180 to 200 different versions of the songs or something, so I don't know how we can possibly manage that.

DiS: Now you've got a got a young son to look after, is there a bit more pressure to do stuff that you can make a decent living from?
AM: To a degree. I live with my girlfriend so we do well enough as we are. I would certainly like to make more money. I'm not rich by any stretch of the imagination. I live in a flat in the south end of Glasgow. It would be nice to move out and get a garden or something but at the same time I do like it here and we seem to be doing okay, but very soon we're going to have to start worrying about schools and things like that.
DiS: Are you in a good catchment area?
AM: Yeah, I think we're pretty cool actually. We'll be alright. We're not in the best area but certainly a decent one, aye, and nothing that would worry me. It's more to do with gardens and things like that. We'll see. I'll have to have a Christmas number one before I start thinking about that.
DiS: Now you are a kind of 'family man', the lyrics on Everything's Getting Older are still as confessional as before, if perhaps not as debauched. Is this a character or are you still trying to be autobiographical?
AM: Everything on that record is autobiographical with the exception of 'Glasgow Jubilee' which was based on a play. I almost always write about myself, certainly with everything on that record, and I will on the new one too, but the new one won't be quite as nice. The new one is the one that will get me into the most trouble with my family.
DiS: Why's that?
AM: It's a midlife crisis album. I think it's going to have a happy ending – we'll see. There's still a year or two to go before it comes out.
DiS: It's maybe a bit early to ask you how you'll be celebrating your fortieth birthday next year.
AM: I haven't really thought about it. I'm not really one for celebrating birthdays anyway. Because I'm such a miserable bastard and I like staying in the house on my birthday, this year I'm thinking about having a birthday party on Twitter, which means I can just sit in the house by myself and get drunk and talk to people and imaginary friends online, and have an internet party. I was thinking about doing a wee mix that I could play on Soundcloud and we could all have a wee party at home. But also my mate's stag night is on the 13th, so that is my night out. That will probably end up with two days in bed afterwards.
DiS: Comparing that to the stuff you talk about in an early track like 'The First Big Weekend' though – what do you think your son will make of the 'dad' portrayed in that song when he's old enough to appreciate it?
AM: That does terrify me. I don't know. I can't hide it from him. I'd like to think we'd have a fairly sensible, open discussion about these sort of things when he's older but I can sense there'll be a great deal of problems when I tell him not to do something that he has audio evidence that I did anyway! But you know, kids will be kids, they have to do these things to grow up and I can't keep it a secret. Maybe he'll decide to rebel and go the other way and turn out to be a tee-total, straight-edge, puritanical Christian, and that will be his way to rebel against his family!
DiS: Especially when he gets to his teenage years, he'll probably want to be nothing like his father.
AM: That's actually quite a good plan. I'll just continue to do everything I do and I'll be able to threaten him by writing a song about him as well. If he's being a total cunt I'll just say, 'Look, you'll turn up in the next album, y' wee prick!'

The plan was to do a nice, easish, good quality and fun canyon. Tom Brennan had given it a 10/10 and Rick Jamieson's guide suggested that with a grade 2 that it should be easy. Well, maybe I should've read Tom's guide beforehand, especially the part that states "... not a good canyon for beginners".
Of course it didn't help that the 2013 October fires had turned the walk in to a rather scrappy affair - especially Little Bell Creek. Also, Bell Creek itself had a number of log jams which made blowing up lilos seem to be a pain so we didn't bother but the longish swims did get a bit tiring. The dark consticted canyon sections are superb, so whilst Bell Creek didn't float my boat, I think a return trip in couple of years when the vegetation is back and hopefully the log jams cleared a bit will be worthwhile.
However, we did get 4 canyons for the price of one - Little Bell, Belfry, Bell Creek and Joe's Canyons.
A nice easy relaxing canyon in the upper Wollangambe which is a perfect beginners canyon. The walk in and out is quite short - around 45mins, it has has a couple of good constricted canyon sections and a good amount of lazy liloing.
It could easily be done in a few hours, but if you take your time gently floating down the creek you can stretch it out to almost a full day.

A soothing government report on employment in July eased concerns that the U.S. might slide back into a recession, and the Dow Jones industrial average rose as much as 171 points soon after trading began. But fears that Europe's growing debt crisis might threaten U.S. banks and the fragile economy ruled Friday.
After its early rise, the Dow fell more than 400 points and was down 243 just before noon. Then it rose nearly 400 points in less than an hour and was up 135 points. The rest of the day, the blue-chip stock index bounced up and down, sometimes by as much as 100 points in less than half an hour. It ended the day up 61 points, or 0.5 percent.
Stocks have been "like a tether ball being smacked around the pole" by worries about weakening economies around the world, said Sam Stovall, chief investment strategist for Standard & Poor's Equity Research.
Even less-developed countries like Brazil and China, which have been the motor of global growth for three years, are slowing. Brazilian stocks have dropped nearly 30 percent since Nov. 4 as the country tries to stem inflation. Manufacturing in China shrank in July for the first time in a year.
In Europe, debt problems are spreading, threatening Italy and Spain, the continent's third-and fourth-largest economies. In the U.S, a possible debt default was averted earlier this week, but concerns remain. Chief among them: less spending by consumers, which is leading to anemic growth by both manufacturing and service companies and too few new jobs to lower the unemployment rate significantly.
Investors also worry that the federal government is more likely to hurt the economy than help it. Instead of more spending, the government is trying to reduce its budget deficits by spending less.
Randy Warren, chief investment officer at the investment company Warren Financial Service, said markets were jittery over how leaders in the U.S. reacted to the debt crisis here and how leaders in Europe have reacted to the growing debt problems there.
"The fear was that they had no plan to deal with the situation," Warren said.
In Europe, either Italy or Spain could become the next country unable to repay its debt. European leaders and central bankers might not have the cash needed to prop them up until a larger financial rescue fund can be established.
"The burden of debt has become much more onerous because the outlook for growth is sliding back. That is very concerning for the markets," said Don Smith, economist at ICAP, the largest inter-dealer broker in the world. "The fear is ultimately about defaults and business failures."
In the U.S., few believe the government is likely to stimulate the economy through spending, as it did with its $800 billion stimulus program in 2009. Washington will instead cut spending by more than $2.1 trillion over 10 years to reduce the deficit.
"When investors took a step back and looked at the deal, it became clear that the long-term debt issues have yet to be resolved and that some hard decisions still need to be made," said Bob Doll, chief equity strategist at BlackRock. "Investors do not like uncertainty."
That contributed significantly to the up and down trading on Friday and all week, strategists said. Some investors bought stocks after steep price declines, said Ron Florance, an investment strategist at Wells Fargo Private Bank. That helped reverse the midday loss. Others have rushed to sell their holdings before the weekend, he said. That contributed to the declines seen in the morning and the pared-back gains in the afternoon.
Such volatility often follows historic sell-offs like the one Thursday, analysts said.
All three major stock indexes are in correction. That is, they are down 10 percent or more off their recent highs.
The Dow fell 5.8 percent this week. It plunged 513 points on Thursday alone, the worst day for the Dow since 2008.
The S&P 500, the benchmark for most mutual funds, fell 0.1 percent Friday. It fell 7.2 percent for the week and is down 10.8 percent since July 22, when its steady declines began.
The Nasdaq composite index fell 24 points, or 0.9 percent. It is down 11.4 percent since July 22.
Commodities also fell on worries that weaker global economies will mean less demand. Crude oil fell $8.82, to $86.88 over the week.
Overseas markets also fell Friday. Tokyo, Hong Kong and China all closed down more than 2 percent. Taiwan lost 5.6 percent. Asian markets all closed before the jobs report was released in the U.S. In Europe, shares recovered some of their losses after plunging to their lowest levels in more than a year. Germany's DAX index fell 2.8 percent. It had been down as much as 4 percent before the jobs report was released in the U.S. Other indexes showed smaller losses.
The yield on the 2-year Treasury note fell to 0.29 percent, after brushing a record low of 0.26 percent earlier Friday. Investors looking for safer assets have rushed to buy Treasurys, sending their prices higher and yields lower. The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note rose to 2.56 percent after hitting a low of 2.39 percent on Thursday.
Florance, of Wells Fargo, said he expected stocks to remain volatile for the next several weeks until it's clear how healthy - or unhealthy - the economy is.
The U.S. economy added 117,000 jobs in July, and 56,000 more were added in May and June than reported previously, the Labor Department said. The unemployment rate inched down to 9.1 percent from 9.2 percent, partly because some unemployed workers stopped looking for work, so they were no longer counted as unemployed. Health care providers and manufacturers added jobs.
"From an economic standpoint, 117,000 jobs is hardly sufficient to boost the economy," said Dan Greenhaus, chief global strategist at the trading firm BTIG.
But the number was what people who follow the markets were hoping for. The consensus forecast had been that the economy added 90,000 jobs in July. As the week wore on, investors began to worry the number would be smaller or even negative. After Thursday's market meltdown, the employment report, which was released before the market opened Friday, was considered reassuring.
More than 200,000 jobs need to be created every month to rapidly reduce the unemployment rate. Unemployment has been above 9 percent nearly every month since the recession officially ended in June 2009. The economy has created an average of just 72,000 jobs over the last three months, down from 215,000 from February through April.
At the same time, the economy grew at just a 1.3 percent annual rate in the second quarter, less than economists expected. That weakness means one economic shock or policy mistake could tip the economy into a recession, Wachovia senior economist Mark Vitner said. Nigel Gault, chief U.S. economist for IHS Global Insight, said the probability of another recession is 40 percent.
Even so, many analysts said the economy might not be as bad off as it seems. For one thing, companies have reported strong profits and are flush with cash. They also cut costs drastically during the recession.
Those in the S&P 500 have amassed more than $963 billion in cash. That's up from $610 billion at the start of the recession, according to S&P. Earnings in the second quarter rose 11 percent from a year ago for the 422 companies in the S&P 500 index that have reported so far.
Even so, only three of the S&P 500's ten industry groups are up for the year: Health care, utilities and consumer staples. Traders consider those companies to be relatively recession-resistant.
Procter & Gamble Co. rose 1.7 percent Friday. Fourth-quarter revenue and income jumped on strong sales in emerging markets.
Viacom Inc. rose 1.9 percent after the media company said its income and revenue increased more than analysts expected in the second quarter because of strong advertising sales and fees from cable companies.
Priceline.com Inc. surged 9.2 percent, the most in the S&P, after the company reported that it earned far more than analysts had expected in the second quarter as travel bookings on the website increased.

Mamphela made her announcement on Monday at a press briefing at Constitution Hill, ending weeks of speculation around her political plans.
Agang, which means "build" in SeSotho, will be a platform that declares war against corruption.
Ramphele also said the decision to enter politics was a difficult one. "Let's build the country of our dreams," she told the media contingent.
Rumours of her intention to start her own political party started after reports in January said she was on a visit to the United States to collect money for a new party and rallying ambassadors for support. She was also quoted expressing her intentions to join active politics, saying she was "entering politics to save her country".
According to the report, Ramphele thought stronger opposition was needed after President Jacob Zuma was re-elected ANC president at the party's elective conference in Mangaung in December.
Ramphele added fuel to the controversy earlier in the month after resigning as the chairperson of Gold Fields. Ramphele said she decided to retire "to further her socioeconomic and political work".
But analysts, the Democratic Alliance and the ANC said Ramphele would struggle to provide a viable alternative to the current political status quo if she intended to form a political party.
Media reports suggested last year that Ramphele would be joining the DA as a replacement for incumbent leader Helen Zille and Zille tried to get Ramphele to join her party last year, but she declined and formed the Citizens' Movement, a nongovernmental organisation. She said at the time that she had never joined a political party in her life.
"I am not a joiner but a change agent. I have always seen my role as a change agent supporting any appropriate transformative process initiated by any South African," she said at the time.
'No Sunday picnic'
The ANC has in the past dismissed her criticism of the ruling party as opposition politicking.
ANC secretary general Gwede Mantashe said at the time her comments were an indication of her intention to enter active politics. "If she wants to join the DA or form a political party, she will soon find out that it is no Sunday picnic," he added.
Ramphele cut her teeth as an apartheid activist while studying medicine at the University of Natal in the 1970s. She became increasingly involved in student politics and was one of the founders of the Black Consciousness Movement, alongside Steve Biko. She was specifically involved in organising and working with community development programmes through the movement.
In 1975, she founded the Zanempilo Community Health Centre in Zinyoka, in the Eastern Cape – one of the first primary health care initiatives outside the public sector in South Africa.
Due to her political activities, she was banished to the town of Tzaneen from 1977 to 1984 by the apartheid government. – Additional reporting by Sapa

An accelerator which was designed to plug into the CPU Fast Slot of the A3000 and A4000 series machines. The Cyberstorm PPC is an amazing piece of kit providing both a 68k processor and a PowerPC processor. The idea is that the PowerPC can be used to run software which supports it, much faster than any 68k processor can, with the 68k providing compatibility with existing 68k Amiga software. There is a surprisingly large amount of PowerPC software for the Amiga, and even alternative PowerPC operating systems such as Linux can run on this card. The card also includes a SCSI-3 Ultrawide (68pin) controller and an expansion port for the Cybervision PPC graphics card. This card was originally manufactured by Phase 5, but after they went into liquidation DCE bought the rights and manufactured at least a limited number of units. A working prototype of this card is also available, although it was only ever released to developers.
During the reset sequence it is possible to hold down the ESC key and enter a configuration menu for the card. From this menu you can configure various things about the card such as which ID the scsi controller uses, inititial system setup such as the supervisor mode of the 060 and other things like RAM timings. The ROM for the card can also be flash-updated. By holding down M you can disable the memory on the card, holding down S disables the on-board SCSI controller and holding down A disables both the memory and the SCSI controller.
Fitting in an A3000
Fitting this card to an A3000 may require an INT-2 modification (but this has not been confirmed). All Phase 5 versions of this card were manufactured with low profile SIMM slots which mean the card physically fits in an A3000 without any problems. However the initial boards manufactured by DCE used vertical standing SIMM slots which means if your board is one of these, you may have problems physically fitting it inside an A3000 due to height restrictions.
