The stones
- Do Shapton stones need to be soaked in water before use?
No, Shapton stones do not need to be soaked except the very first time after purchase. We do recommend that on first use, you pre-soak the stone in water for five to six minutes to secure even smoother sharpening.
- Do sharpening stones have 'best before' dates?
No, there are no time limits on when sharpening stones can be used.
- What are the features of Shapton stones?
Shapton stones' characteristics include "High abrasive & sharpening capabilities", "Ready to use immediately" , "Reduced wear", "Long lasting" and "No smell".
- What are the features of GlassStones?
The conventional image is that sharpening stones are large and heavy, but GlassStones are not only thin and light, but also strong, as layers of tempered glass are stuck together. GlassStones therefore have strong resistance to cracking or sudden breakage caused by external shocks such as being dropped.
- I found some uneven colour on the surface of the stone I just bought. Is anything wrong?
No. It is in the nature of sharpening stones that spots or uneven colours appear on the stone surface. This is not a quality problem, and you can use the stone without concern.
- Which face of the KUROMAKU series sharpening stones should I use?
You can use either face, but we recommend that you start on the side where no letters have been printed.
- Some white marble-like patterns have appeared on the sharpening stone's surface. Is anything wrong?
No. These white marbled patterns can appear on the surface of a sharpening stone under certain conditions, depending on how the stone is stored. This is not a quality problem, and you can use the stone without concern.
- Are there any blade materials that cannot be sharpened?
All blade materials can be sharpened except ceramics and superalloys.
- The plastic case that came with the unit has broken. Can I buy a replacement?
Yes. KUROMAKU cases can be bought separately from the main product.
- What does "micron class" mean?
Micron class represents the coarseness, in another word, the size of the abrasive grains in a sharpening stone. The higher the number, the larger the grain size, in other words, the coarser the sharpening stone.
- What does "type" mean?
Type represents the type of abrasive contained in the stone.
- What are sharpening stones made of?
Sharpening stones are made of abrasives such as alumina and silicon carbide, combined with binders and other compound materials.
- How does one remove burrs?
Place the burred side of the blade against the sharpening stone, then remove the burrs by gently sliding it along, without much pressure.
- Is it possible to sharpen a kitchen knife with a nicked edge?
If the nick is large, remove it using a coarse stone (40 micron class or coarser), then sharpen it using a succession of stones, moving from coarse to fine.
- Sharpening with the 0 micron class stone feels wrong: what's up?
The 0 micron class stone is designed to provide a cutting edge with unprecedented cutting ability, approximately 1 mm wide. It may therefore feel strange if used to sharpen blades in the conventional way.
- Why do I still see scratches on the blade even though I have sharpened it with a KUROMAKU fine stone?
If you polish it with a finishing stone after sharpening it with a medium stone, but there is still slurry adhering to the blade or your hands, the blade may be scratched by the rough abrasive agent of the medium stone. Because of this, when changing whetstone and moving to progressively finer sharpening steps, it is important to wash off any dirt produced in the previous step. It is not enough merely to rinse the blade and your hands: you should carefully and thoroughly wash off any films of dirt on your hands, fingernails, and the surface of the blade.
- Should sharpening stones be used in a particular order?
The usual order is to start with coarser stones having larger abrasive grains, then move to finer stones with smaller grains.
- How often should blades be sharpened?
That depends on the blade's material, purpose and frequency of use, as well as the level of cut you are seeking.
Our recommendation is to sharpen a blade whenever you feel its cutting ability has declined.
- What are coarse stones (40 micron and above) used for?
Coarse stones are designed for adding an edge or removing large nicks on an existing edge.
- Do Shapton stones come with a Nagura Stone?
No. Shapton stones do not need a Nagura Stone, and lapping with a Nagura Stone will leave the surface rough and ragged.
- Is it OK to use oils with your sharpening stones?
Yes, it's fine to use oil with the stones. However, once you've used oil on a stone, you should always use oil with that stone.
- Recent KUROMAKU stones look different from the designs bought in the past. Is there any difference in spec?
No. The only change was in the printing design, not in the quality or specs of the stones.
- Should the Lapping Disc be immersed in water before use?
There is no need to immerse it in water in advance, but do wet it when using it.
- Which of the surfaces on the Lapping Disc should I use, the flat one or the one with grooves?
You can use either surface - the grooved surface will give a slightly finer result.
- How do I use the Lapping Disc to perform 'dressing'?
First wet the entire surface of the sharpening stone. Next, take the Lapping Disc in one hand, and dress the entire stone surface by making small circular motions, but without applying too much force. There is no need to dress it for a long time: only one layer of 'skin' needs to be removed for the sharpening stone to regain its original performance.
- Do I need to keep water running constantly while sharpening a blade?
There is no need for a steady stream of water - you can sharpen your blades with just a splash of water on the stone surface. However, if you do let the water stream constantly, it means your hands stay clean while sharpening.
- Does a build up of slurry create any problems when sharpening?
It is fine to sharpen blades without washing away the slurry, but as Shapton sharpening stones have a high abrasive content, they can be used equally well with no slurry present.
- The GlassStone series includes two types each of the 4000, 6000 and 8000 sharpening stones. What are the differences between them?
They use different abrasive agents. GlassStone series 50603, 50703 and 50803 are recommended for sharpening composite steel blades, where steel has been forge welded with another metal.
- Are any of the KUROMAKU sharpening stones recommended for normal household knives?
We recommend the Orange Medium (1000) sharpening stone and Wine Fine (5000) finishing stone. If you intend to use only one stone, we recommend the Blue Medium (1500) sharpening stone.
- My sharpening stone no longer sharpens as it did when first bought - it slips and slides. What should I do?
It may have become clogged. We recommend that you try using a lapping plate.
- When I use "KUROMAKU Purple" for sharpening, it feels wrong.
"KUROMAKU Purple" is designed to give an optimum, unprecedented cutting feel to the blade tip (around 1 mm), so it may feel strange if used with conventional sharpening methods.
- I want to try using "KUROMAKU Purple", but the 'Precautions' state it should be used after "KUROMAKU Melon" - would it be OK to use it for sharpening after "KUROMAKU Yellow" instead, as this is finer?
That would be fine with high hardness steel, but for blades made from softer materials, please do use "KUROMAKU Melon". This is due to the stones' physical characteristics.

- Research. First up, you need to research your topic and make yourself an expert. There are a lot of resources you can refer to, including the internet, the library, and the academic databases. You need to immerse yourself in the great words while taking notes.
- Analysis. Since you have got a good knowledge about your topic, now it's time to analyze the arguments in the essay you are going to write. Define your claims but don't forget to list the reasons and evidence. Look for both weakness and strengths of the logic.
- Thesis. Brainstorm yourself and think of your insights for the essay. Now you need to pick one idea as your best, and it will be the main point. Make sure you sum it up in a concise sentence, so the readers will know the direction you are going.
- Outline. Make a sketch of your essay before you write it out straight away. Use brief words to describe each paragraph and use bullet points for what you are about to put in each paragraph. Play with the structure of the essay and the orders of the contents.
- Introduction, paragraphs, and conclusion. Now you sit down and write the academic essay. You need to grab readers' attention in the introduction. You also want to set up the issue and lead your readers into your thesis. Each paragraph needs to focus on a single idea supporting your thesis. You should begin a paragraph with a topic sentence and support the assertions with evidence. Use the most sensible and clearest way you can to expound your ideas. At the end, make a graceful exit by using a wrap-up sentence and some memorable thoughts. Maybe use an interesting twist of logic, or a quotation to leave your readers in deep thoughts.
- Formatting and proofreading. Format your academic assay following the correct citation. MLA style is what's commonly used. After formatting the essay, it's time for you to polish your language and correct any mistakes.

Plenty of eyeballs will be scouring the Net next Tuesday to learn more about the fate of Sven Jaschan.
On July 5, the 19-year-old student will have his first day in court in the city of Verden, Germany, where he will face trial on charges of computer sabotage, data manipulation and disruption of public systems.
Jaschan was indicted in September for allegedly creating the Sasser worm, which crashed hundreds of thousands of computers worldwide after spreading at lightning speed over the Internet.
Sasser didn't require users to receive an e-mail message or open a file to be infected. Instead, just having a vulnerable Windows machine connected to the Internet was enough to get infected.
Sasser exploited a hole in a component of Windows called the Local Security Authority Subsystem Service, or LSASS. On April 13, Microsoft had released a software patch, MS04-011, which plugs the LSASS hole, but many companies and individuals had not installed it in time to prevent the Sasser worm from affecting their systems.
Jaschan, from Waffensen, Germany, was arrested in May of last year after Microsoft received a tip from an informant seeking a reward from the software company. Authorities said Jaschan had confessed to creating and releasing both the Sasser worm and several variants of the Netsky virus.
In Germany, computer sabotage carries a maximum sentence of five years in prison.
German prosecutors have chosen as plaintiffs three German city governments and a broadcaster whose systems were disrupted by the Sasser worm.

Regular business was taken care of and lunch was enjoyed by all. President Gruber presented a $900 check to the president of the board for the Somervell County Food Bank, Paul Harper. President Gruber invited Mr. Harper to tell the Club a little about the Food Bank and their operations. Mr. Harper shared that he has set up a computer program that has registered all of the patrons of the Food Bank and keeps track of the families and their members. The Somervell County Food Bank currently services 180 families.
The Glen Rose Lions Club and Brookshires sponsor an annual food drive here in Glen Rose. Brookshires puts out the bins and offers pre-packaged food donations.� Shoppers in the store may put donations directly in the bins. Members of the Glen Rose Lions Club gather up the donations in December along with baking hens that Brookshires donates and delivers everything to the Food Bank in time for the Christmas rush.
Speaker for the meeting was Mindy Reed from the Hood and Somervell County Children�s Advocacy Center. Mindy reminded the Club of all the good work that the Center is doing for children in Hood and Somervell Counties who are victims of abuse. The Mission Statement for the Center is �To promote the healing of child abuse victims - one child at a time.� Mindy talked about children who have been in the programs offered by CACHS.
The Glen Rose Lions Club meets on the first and third Wednesday of each month at Taylor�s Turn & Burn at noon. All community members are invited to attend the luncheons and to join Lions Club. The International Lions Club is the largest service organization in the world.

I keep a "day book". Maybe that makes me a control freak, but I like to plan my life a few days ahead, even a few weeks, write down important stuff I need to do, check it off when it's done. Gives me a sense of productivity. Knowing I can't stop time, I would at least like to have a proper accounting of how time was spent.
Sometimes, you know – best plans of mice and moms often go awry. Sometimes I don't accomplish ANYTHING on my dam-ned "to do" list. So, at the end of the day, I think back, write down what I did, check it off.
Sometimes I run a line through an item – "I changed my mind, screw that…" I guess a "to do" list does give me some sense of control over my life.
Something I started doing a year or so ago, during The Drought (ha ha, remember The Drought?) is keep a rain diary. We had started to lose trees because we weren't accustomed to having to water in Winter. At first it was young fruit trees, two cherries we'd just planted a couple of years previous. Our older cherry died. Our peach trees started looking down in the mouth.
Then we noticed bigger trees around the property were in trouble. By the end of last Winter, our 80 year old deodor cedar was dead, and our 35 year old Doug Fir was on it's last legs. We know how old they were because we counted the rings after PG&E came in a took them down this past Fall.
I read an article that said big trees needed to be "irrigated" every two weeks during Winter drought – in other words, if it hasn't rained for two weeks, it's time to set up the sprinkler. Last year I recorded rainy days in my rain diary, and whenever it didn't rain for two weeks I went around the yard dragging hoses and sprinklers. It was too late for those two old trees, both of which had other problems – too close to roads, too close to power lines, butchered many times by PG&E crews. But we have younger trees, I was anxious to make sure they didn't follow.
I also read my native oaks don't need any help, in fact, they suffer from over watering. When we bought this place we planted evergreens – the neighbor had planted a bunch of redwoods on his property, and they were doing great! We have a flag lot, with three neighbors' driveway running right along our yard, so we planted a row of redwoods on that side of our yard to keep the dust down to a dull roar.
Our other neighbor's redwoods were about 25 years old, and doing very well, when suddenly two Summers ago, the trio standing next to our house turned brown, like in weeks. He hadn't set them up on water, and the new owner wasn't watering that part of the yard at all. Those trees turned brown even faster than our trees, and they were standing right alongside our house. We were glad to come home from a weekend trip and see the neighbor had removed them, but it sure changed the dynamics of their yard. Suddenly they had a big, brown dead patch that turned to dust in Summer and mud in Winter. We started looking around our yard with a new panic.
The tops of our redwoods were turning brown. We started watering on the two week schedule, wishing and hoping for more Winter rain, but you know – it didn't come.
Realizing we were probably going to lose more evergreens around the yard, we started looking for native trees to plant in their place. In stepped our friend Whipple.
Whip-whip-whip! That's what I call him, cause like a little bird, he appears out of nowhere.
Everything Whipple plants grows. He had been potting little trees that were coming up in inconvenient parts of the yard, and brought us a set of red buds, with a crepe myrtle he had propagated as an experiment. One of the red buds had been in it's little pot so long a foot long root hung from the bottom.
I always fuss over where to plant stuff. My husband gave me a general idea of where he'd like to see them, but it was a really hot spot, I wasn't sure. He assured me that we'd water them and water them and eventually they'd grow big enough to turn that hot spot into a shady spot. Sheesh, he's good at talking me into stuff.
It wasn't a good spot for sprinklers, too far from a spigot. You know what you get with sprinklers anyway? Weeds. So, when I have little plants to take care of, I fill my watering can and walk around, parceling out the water, being careful not to wash away the roots.
My good friend and constant companion, Arthur Itis, walks along with me, cursing to beat the band.
So I watered my little trees all Summer. I planted little herbs like feverfew and selvia to hold the ground. I started to put down chips but I ran out of funding. Every now and then I would forget, or we'd take a trip somewhere, and pay back would be instantaneous – the tops of my little red buds would burn, leaves would fall off, and I'd curse myself for being a slacker.
Now they sit leafless in the mud. But, I've taken a good look – there are buds on the naked little branches, fat with life.
Oh yeah – the crepe myrtle looks dead, but you know, crepe myrtles always look dead this time of year. It'll come back.
So Whipple, seeing we'd made good, brought us a set of oak trees – two blue oaks, two cork oaks, and a valley oak. They're still sitting in the pots. The good news is, my rain diary is starting to fill up, looks like a good year for baby trees.
I'll keep you posted on the oaks.

Translators required - Greek
Budget $10-30 USD
We are looking for talented professional translators for regular cooperation. You must hold a degree in Translation, Languages, or a specific discipline (e.g. Life sciences, Finance, etc) and have at least 3 years experience in your domain. Excellent language and translation skills, and a good writing style with accurate spelling and grammar are a must.
You must be a CAT tools user and competent in at least one as most of the projects are done through CAT tools. Trados Studio is our preferred tool but we could accept files coming from other tools provided that the files pose no issues for further processing and you can directly handle Trados Studio files, either packages or sdlxliff files.
Please do not bid if you cannot provide a rate per word for translation and proofreading, the tools you have and two samples of your past work. If you are not online here all day you need to be using an IM (most preferably Skype) so that we can confirm your immediate availability for the project at hand. It is important that we are aware of your general availability at all times as delivery within the same day or during weekends is not unusual. Some projects are really urgent and we would prefer not to split too much projects for consistency reasons.
Finally, please mention the languages from which you can translate and the fields you specialize (it is very important to be more specific at this point, so either elaborate or paste the relevant part of your CV). We hire only native speakers, so we are looking for translators that translate only into their mother tongue. You need to have this in mind when mentioning language pairs and bidding.

Olmeda CTU ReunionPublished on Thursday, 03 October 2013 08:12 Hits: 1719
Category: General News
Mike Ainley has sent me this report on the RFA Olmeda Cadet Training Unit of 1983 Reunion held at the Victory Services Club, London on Saturday 28th September.
Just to report that the RFA Olmeda 1973 CTU reunion went very well at the Victory Services Club on Saturday 28th September.
Great food, wine and excellent company.
The lantern was swung almost out of its gimbals.
Naturally 40 years takes a lot of catching up on so due to the success of last Saturday we are already thinking about another meet maybe next year.
We are still looking for Joe Butler and Paul Rodgers and should anyone come across them please let me know. (Is there anyone who is a member of the HMS Conway Old Boys Association? if so can you please get in touch as you may be able to help us trace Paul Rodgers).
Many thanks to Captain Pat and RFAA for all the support and help.
Another special thank you to George Mortimer for supplying the photos of Olmeda for the Re union.
Finally thanks to the Victory Services Club in London.
"Bravo Zulu all round"

Our choices make us and define us. They shape our world.
But sometimes, making the right choice is a lot harder than it should be. And this is especially true when trying to make sustainable choices.
Too often it seems that those who choose greener, more organic lifestyle often have have to deal with the loss of convenience, sometimes comfort and often at the cost of higher prices.
We choose to buy free range poultry and organic products and then have to deal with much higher financial impact than if we shopped 'normally' – even though our choices are better for everyone.
Rather than just deal with my own choice between sustainability and comfort, I decided to turn it into an experiment:
I had just moved from Auckland, New Zealand to Melbourne, Australia and was in the middle of setting up my new life. And while for the first 3 months I had gotten by with the excellent public transport system that Melbourne has, I quickly reached a point where, I was faced with the decision of either choice between buying a car or continuing to use public transport.
For the first three months I was temporary accommodation and my days were filled with paperwork, organising and settling in. Once I had found a proper place to live however, I had the task of setting up our new house. Which meant a lot of shopping and a lot of hauling stuff around.
But it was also the ordinary every day living which also proved to be a challenge as well.
I wanted to explore the different aspects of life without private transport and over the next few posts I'll go into more detail about my experiences.
Coming next: Challenge 1 – Daily life

While the director of Dhan Dhana Dhan Goal, Vivek Agnihotri may have missed out on the special preview of Farah Khan's Om Shanti Om, his wife, actress Pallavi Joshi, kids and friend-cum-star of Goal, Arshad Warsi enjoyed it thoroughly. It is obvious that the committed director was busy with the post-production of his second film after Chocolate (2005).
All the same, Vivek talks about a previously unheard ofs aspect in a mainstream Bollywood movie, small town insecurities. For those who are unaware, Vivek is from Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh) and was an avid football and cricket player. But laments the fact that he could not excel in either of the two, due to lack of proper facilities in small towns during those days.
Vivek adds that unlike today, most sports were only meant for big city dwellers and many a talents have had a silent death (career wise). And that is precisely the reason why he has touched upon it in his latest venture (albeit in a subtle way), this Friday's big release, Dhan Dhana Dhan Goal.

From publisher blurb:
In the D20 Modern Roleplaying Game, the skills Read/Write Language and Speak Language are treated differently than other skills. For one, they have no key abilities associated with them.
While this approach works perfectly well for most modern campaigns, it may not suit all of them, particularly those where obscure languages and the ability to understand them play an important role, as in many occult or supernatural campaigns. The following is a brief set of alternate rules for Game Masters who wish to introduce more linguistic detail into their D20 Modern Roleplaying Game campaigns. Also included is a list of thirteen
occult languages for use in any campaign in which secret societies clash in the shadows, battling one another for control of ancient knowledge hidden for millennia and intelligible only to those who have mastered the esoteric tongues in which they were written.

CALCUTTA, Nov 5, 2010 (Washington Bangla Radio / pressreleasepoint) Land Rover is celebrating the production of its one millionth Range Rover by donating the vehicle to Help for Heroes.
The landmark one millionth vehicle, a Range Rover Autobiography in ultimate black, has been built at the Solihull manufacturing plant, where three generations of the Range Rover have been built since June 1970.
Land Rover employees joined Alan Volkaerts, Solihull Manufacturing Director and Land Rover's Managing Director Phil Popham to celebrate the milestone event in Range Rover's fortieth year. The one millionth Range Rover was driven by Phil Popham to London to deliver the car to Help for Heroes. He was followed from Solihull to London by a convoy of heritage Range Rovers, driven by their enthusiastic owners.
The handover took place on the Top Gear Live set at Earls Court in London where Jeremy Clarkson - who is a Help for Heroes patron - took delivery of the one millionth Range Rover on behalf of the charity.
"Land Rover is very proud to support the Help for Heroes charity by donating the one millionth Range Rover. The vehicle will be auctioned later this year and should raise valuable funds for the practical and direct provision of aid for wounded service people and their families," said Phil Popham, MD Jaguar Land Rover.
"Everyone involved in Land Rover - from the management, to the employees at Solihull, to the original Range Rover team - will be happy we're able to mark this landmark occasion in such a way after the forty years of producing this iconic vehicle."
The Range Rover being donated is the highest-specification model currently available, the Range Rover Vogue, valued in excess of £85,000. Estimates suggest it will raise over £100,000 for charity when auctioned later this year.
"We're delighted that Land Rover has chosen to give Help for Heroes their millionth Range Rover," said Bryn Parry, CEO and Co-founder of Help for Heroes. "This is a real milestone in their history and so a very special donation, made even more special by knowing the money raised from the car will be able to provide much needed funds to help our wounded heroes on their road to recovery.
One of the most significant vehicles in the history of motoring, the Range Rover was the world's first vehicle as good on-road as off-road. It remains Land Rover's flagship model, peerlessly blending comfort, luxury, design, technology and versatility in one highly-accomplished package.
There have been three generations of Range Rover. The original, now known as the Classic, went on sale in 1970 and continued in production, with numerous upgrades and a multiplicity of variants, for just over 25 years.
The second-generation vehicle, known as the P38a, went on sale in 1994 and was replaced in 2001 by the current model. Further enhancements over the last decade have ensured the Range Rover retains its position as on the world's most complete luxury vehicles.
During 2005, the Range Rover Sport was introduced, adding a sport tourer SUV to the Range Rover line-up, which instantly became a sales success, selling over 300,000 vehicles over the past six years. Next year a third model with join the Range Rover line-up, the all-new Range Rover Evoque.

Making a more fungal compost has been an aim of mine for some time. One of the ways that I do that is to not make 'hot' compost, keep the proportion of high carbon materials high, and to not turn unless it's needed. However recently I set up a truly fungal mix of ingredients and this post is about how that went. Continue reading

Rockdust, Glacial Milk, and Plant Nutrition
I've been using rockdust as part of my soil balancing strategy, as well as an ingredient in my potting mixes. In addition I've been mixing rockdust into my poutry food, adding it to my wormeries, and compost heaps, but over the last couple of weeks I've been using the rockdust in a liquid suspension, to water my plants, and as a foliar spray.
Overwintering Green Manure
I have used a number of Green Manure strategies this Winter as part of my soil fertility building program. In fact I think that I have shifted from growing food to growing soil as my primary activity. Using a Green Manure provides a number of benefits for me, which I'll describe below. Please note that this is an explanation of some of the things that I have done this Winter, and not an attempt to teach people how a green manure should be used.
Chromatography, Soil fertility, and Biodynamic Agriculture
I have spent a bit of time exploring paper chromatography as a means of testing the quality of soil and compost, thanks to the help of my friend Nigel. Now I'm not planning to explain what it is all about. Those of you who have stuck with my blog are quite able to find that out for yourselves, and the following links should help you do that. Chromatography 1. Chromatography 2. Instead I wanted to record some of the thoughts and ideas that this new technique has generated, and where I may take it in the future. Continue reading

It's not often we get an anime about super heroes saving the world from street crime. And it's even less often when that anime takes inspiration from American super heroes like iron man. But Tiger and Bunny shows the west that anime can be just as entertaining as American super hero shows.
Tiger and Bunny takes place in a world where being a super hero isn't just normal, but profitable. Heroes lend themselves to sponsors that pay for them to fight crime. This crime is shown on TV and the heroes who save the day gain points in hopes of being crowned champions. The show follows Tiger (Kotetsu) and his new partner Bunny (Barnaby Brooks Jr) as they team up with other heroes to stop crime and save the city.
The story is typical super hero stuff; having dark pasts for the heroes, enemies that later become friends, heroes who have turned bad, vigilantes who have their 'own breed of justice', and bad guys who are just misunderstood and are really trying to help. All of this is now the norm when it comes to super hero shows, but Tiger and Bunny tells the story as a character driven experience. This means that while some of the situations and events may be typical affair, the way the heroes deal with it and how being heroes has affected their lives shows a side to super heroes not found in shows like 'justice league' or 'beware the batman'.
The show has its fair share of filler episodes, many of the shows episodes do nothing to advance the plot and are only there as comedic side stories, but once the show decides it's going to continue with the story, it tells a tale that raises questions that ask why being a super hero is so great and questions the moral standing of humanity. It's not anything that will make people rethink their entire lives, but it adds to the enjoyment of the show. One of the shows biggest appeals is the amount of detail there is in the world, it's not long before NC 1978 becomes a real place that a multitude of stories could stem from.
The animation will be liked by some, and hated by others. All of the super heroes in the show wear costumes (as super heroes should), but all of these costumes are CGI and stand out from the shows fantastic backgrounds. The CGI takes a few episodes to get to grips with, and some of the animation looks awkward when a CGI hero attacks an animated character. Apart from the CGI, the show is fantastic to look at, and thanks to the animation from studio Sunrise, never dips in quality. The show looks great all the way through.
The dub for the show is great on the most part. Tiger and Bunny's banter is great and it's clear that the cast had a lot of fun recording the show. But some of the characters (namely Fire Emblem) come off as stereotypical and sometimes even a little offensive. Other than that, the dub holds up brilliantly.
Tiger and Bunny is a fun ride that has the courage to stand alongside other great super hero shows. And rightfully so. There are a few annoying filler episodes, and some animation choices may leave some people's heads scratching, but if you want to watch a super hero show that tells a great story, you can't go wrong with Tiger and Bunny.

Why Responsive?
Time And Money
The main benefit of responsive web design is that you have to create only one version of your website for all kind of devices that saves you both time and money. Because every year numerous new devices are released, if you design website that supports any exacting version of device then you are in the need of re-design your version of a website to be shown correctly on a new device.
Think that you have designed your website for desktop version, when a user looks your website in hand devices then there is an option of zooming or scrolling your website. In that case, navigation of your website is not always flexible.
Easy Mobile SEO
You will no longer have to sweat duplicate content, missing URLs, and other mobile site SEO issues.
Easy Design For Tablets
When creating a separate website for mobile devices, often the tablets were overlooked. The desktop version didn't look quite right on a tablet, and neither did the mobile version.
Better Analytics
If you have a mobile site on a subdomain, you're going to need to set up a filter to view the data correctly. It is kind of a sticky process.
No More Updating Your Device-Checking Code
New mobile devices are being introduced all the time. Doesn't it just make more sense to check for screen size rather than trying to keep up with that mess?
Why Pick HtmlSlicemate for Your Responsive Project?

I've recently been getting reacquainted with an Aunt and Uncle that I haven't had much contact with in nearly 20 years. I think it's awesome.
A few days after our last meet up, I was with my mother. She's not into it. She spent a lot of time telling me of things my Aunt and Uncle did to make her and my dad upset. The last serious infraction was in 1991.
My parents find fault with anything and everything. If their food order at a restaurant comes out wrong, they'll suffer through it instead of sending it back, and then complain about it for the next couple of weeks. They're not close with many people; they have little social life. They're the type who can sit in a roomful of people and not attempt to talk to a single one, and then complain that no one spoke with them. Talking to them is getting a report on who-did-what to them and what is going wrong; serious conversations or sharing opinion on, say, national issues or global happenings, is never an option.
My aunt and uncle are a lot more like me and Adam – active with friends, entertaining, and hobbies. They're easier to be around. You can have conversations. You can share wine.
I've decided that losing 20 years of time with my aunt is ridiculous and I really want to move on. So is she. We talked about it and were in complete agreement in that whatever is/was we don't care – move forward. Now that I really think of it, I don't believe the grudge against them, perpetuated for a time be me, was ever really mine to hold. I don't care what happened 34 years ago (25 years ago. X years ago.) It's over. Losing 20 years of *my* relationship with my aunt has been "punishment" enough for my parents' choice of holding onto that negativity. And I don't care what they think of my choice.
My parents had their feelings hurt, several times. Guess what? It happens. You can either forgive, move on, and seek happiness, or hold onto that negativity and let it make you bitter and resentful. It really is your choice.
I don't understand what good comes from a grudge like this. I've quit associating with people because of what they've done to me, but I've went on and made more friends. I made my choice and continued with my life in a more positive direction. I'm doing that again. Does it make me crazy to want to forget what I heard happened via one-sided story, start anew, and enjoy what time I have left with my aunt and uncle?!

Destination: Arjeplog, Sweden (where Land Rover oeprates a cold-weather testing facility) then on to the Arctic Circle.
As luck would have it, the Scandinavian weather was atrocious, so the hybrid Sport and its 2.5-tonne trailer encountered abnormally icy roads, Arctic gales and record snow depths on its 2500-mile adventure. 'We were closely watching the long range weather forecasts before we set off but nothing prepared us for how bad it got,' says team Ben Samuelson.
Girding of loins… and a luxury caravan
The team set off from Land Rover's Design and Engineering Centre at Gaydon, and drove to Airstream's HQ in Germany to pick up their flagship Airstream 684 caravan, which had been specially winterised for the journey.
Described as '8.25m of boutique hotel suite on wheels, with two double beds, satellite television and Corian surfaces in both its fully-equipped kitchen and spacious bathroom' that caravan is quite a beast.
The right tools for the job
En route, the team crossed the five-mile long Øresund Bridge between Denmark and Sweden in the teeth of a Hurricane - a good opportunity to test the Range Rover Sport's 'Trailer Stability Assist', which can brake the car's wheels individually to counteract sway, preventing catastrophe.
Further north, temperatures fell as low as to -22 degrees centigrade, putting the Range Rover Sport through its paces as it pulled the Airstream along steep icy roads and forest tracks.
Phil Talboys, who manages the Arjeplog test facility, commented afterwards: 'This journey just goes to show that the Range Rover Sport Hybrid is pure hybrid – with all the capability and versatility that you'd expect from a Land Rover.'

In addition to the ice cream movement, there is also the coffee revolution of new coffee shops in town. Apparently the coffee is top-notch at Nemesis Coffee and I will never know. I'm a tea drinker here. To the coffee addicts, it'll remain a mystery to you. 😉 There has been much hype about Nemesis Coffee on Instagram and blogs such as Daily Hive Vancouver.
We originally wanted to visit the new JINYA Ramen Bar location on a rainy day but they had a 90 minute wait for their grand opening weekend. There was no way were going to wait so we decided to trek down to Gastown for late brunch or anything that did not have a line-up.
Located on 302 West Hastings Street in the Gastown area of Vancouver. Nemesis Coffee, a cafeteria style, hipster themed place reminded me of the coffee scene in San Francisco where it's all hipster, open concept and minimalist. That was a couple of years back. Glad to see it happening here now. Nemesis Coffee has been opened for around two months now so it's pretty new.
When you open the door, it was super busy on a typical rainy afternoon in Vancouver. There were 3-4 people ahead of us and I didn't see a menu behind the till. Since it was busy, I was focused on grabbing a table at a very busy coffee shop and didn't have a menu available. I told my friend to line-up for food, while I hoard a table for the two of us. I saw a table that was ready to leave so like a crazy lady … went for the table like a rabbit in a race. I have no shame and am not shy. 😛 I was hAngry.
I did tell my friend to grab anything brunch related. So the food decision was entirely up to my food partner-in-crime. 🙂
As I was waiting for the table to finish up, I was looking at the atmosphere of the place. It had a modern and minimalist feel. When my friend came back, I asked what they ordered and we ended up with what Nemesis recommended. While we were waiting at our table, we noticed the option of tap or sparkling water. We got one of each for the sake of trying water, why not.
We didn't opt for coffee since we both had dinner plans later and I already went to Starbucks earlier in the day. And, no I didn't order the Unicorn Frappuccino® Blended Crème. Those poor Starbucks barristas. I love Starbucks and would never want my local barrista to have a meltdown.
Below is what arrived at our table:
- Heirloom grits, roasted asian mushrooms, charred wild onions, salsa verde, poached egg, aged goat cheese – Enjoyed the #eggporn and the mushrooms, poached egg and cheese underneath the greens. Excellent presentation and fun unveiling the food!
- Crisped chicken thigh, bread salad of cucumbers, green and black garlic hummous – The skin on the chicken was perfect and the cucumber was so freshing along with the hummous at the bottom.
We did a lot of walking and were extra hAngry. So what is hAngry exactly? Here's the definition on Dictionary.com:
adjective, hangrier, hangriest. Slang.
1.feeling irritable or irrationally angry as a result of being hungry.
Definitely don't go to Nemesis Coffee hungry. All the food is prepared in-house so this is a good place to relax and grab a coffee or pastry. I want to try their drink menu next time. And the quality is there for all food and coffee, coffee, coffee. Also, the food is Insta-worthy and photogenic so presentation is excellent. I mean, look at the #eggporn – Instagram filtered worthiness below.
As for brunch, there's the Gray Olive Cafeteria opened recently in Burnaby, The Breakfast Table, Fable Diner, and of course Jam Café.
In addition to JINYA Ramen Bar having an opening weekend, L'Éclair de Génie has finally arrived and opened their first North American location. <3 <3 <3 I have been spying and obsessing on L'Éclair de Génie for the past three years through Instagram. I really want to try this place like no tomorrow. It's nice to see a piece of Paris in town. I love French pastries, there's something magical about it.
It was literally opening day and we decided to see if there would be a flurry of people lining up for eclairs on a rainy downtown Vancouver day. As we approached the shop, there was no line-up. It turns out that they sold out 1,000 eclairs on Saturday. I REALLY want to visit this place. I mean, I have been eyeing it on Instagram for years. Let's see if this place will top Beta5 Chocolates.
Definitely try next time. Wanna?!

Another Coffee Thread
Aereopress + Taylors Hot Lava Java = wonder
How do you make yours?
What IS a long black?
I think I drink them all the time but I'm not sure. Is it just a double espresso with the same amount of hot water? Because thats what I drink.robluvsnic and Noblet this'd this
I've always wanted to do that
What's it like?
Whatever flavour takes my fancy from the Algerian coffee house in Soho
In the mocha pot, on the hob, bliss.
Got an Aeropress for Christmas.
Currently rocking some Java from the covered market in Oxford. Black, one sugar, thanks.
That shop is AMAZING.
I've tried the Colombian, Brazillian Blend and the Java. WHAT NEXT??
JAMAICAN BLUE MOUNTAIN!Wasted_Opportunity this'd this
got my aeropress for christmas to!
i'm really enjoying it, great little invention
Got an Aeropress + grinder for Christmas
I am making excellent coffee now. Two scoops, half fill the thing, do it upside down cos my friend mantains it's better. Still haven't found me favourite beans though. Someone recommend some beans!
I'm finding that I prefer preground to freshly ground coffee from my aweopress
Think maybe I'm not grinding finely enough
My grinder thing has a dial going from 7 o'clock to 5 (fine to coarse) and I have it on about 11 and it's spot on. This is after spending all of Christmas day messing on and making coffee that tasted like a shit Mellow Birds.
need to try this upside down method
i tried a couple of different things but hot lava java is really hitting the spot, smells phenomenal too
my only qualm with the aeropress is it uses quite a lot of ground coffee to get results
I'm piling through the beans now.
I'm trying to get my head round this upside down malarky.
Maybe it would be easier if I had my aeropress to hand.
the youtube videos are not too bad
but something they don't tell you is make sure the plunger is down far enough. Cos when you turn it upside down all the hot air goes to the top and expands a bit and a bit of hot coffee come out and just misses your face.
Ran out of Tassimo discs
so broke out the moka pot last week for the first time. Exceptional coffee. It's a very old aluminium one so I'm on the look out for a good stainless steel one now.
tesco coffee (spoonful) - into mug. Add boiling water, milk and one sugar. Drink.
Rarely do I make coffee since my machine broke and I didn't bother to replace it
I just get Taylor Street to make mine. I've been busy lately and so am nailing the coffee hard this week. today I'm having a long black, as usual. Meow, you're right, it's a double shot topped up with hot water. It's a bit like an americano, but it's made slightly differently so as to be a bit frothier (an americano being a very dull frothless drink.) I still prefer tea though chaps. OMG jasmine tea <3
Tea, white no sugar.
Yeah that's right, this is the backlash.
Another coffee thread
Ah what do I care, I like coffee too.
bialetti stovepot espresso maker + percol americano
step 1: go to artisan roast
step 2: order soy latte ( i KNOW but i'm allergic to milk ok)
step 3: OM NOM NOM
artisan roast in glasgow?!
best coffee i can find in the west end :)
nah in edinburgh
there's one in bruntsfield about 5 minutes from my house <3 yum yum yum!
I have recently gotten into coffee
I have a moka pot but my results seem really variable.
I had a gifset of different coffees from whitbreads. That was awesome. Now I just have morrisons. Any suggestions for good coffees to try?
hey man
couple of mocha tips
a) don't stuff the coffee in. press it gently and try and make a cone shape with the grind
b) leave the lid off during the heating process. put lid down when that shit is starting to ooze out

Calling all stitchers, hackers, programmers, embroiderers,
patchworkers, coffee drinkers, steampunks, artists, crafters, makers

You are warmly invited to gather at Café Crema to stitch the term
'ensemble' as part of the Embroidered Digital Commons facilitated by
Ele Carpenter.
We will be embroidering the following text from 'A Concise Lexicon of
/ for the Digital Commons':
"Ensemble: The conceit or delight in togetherness in an increasingly
anomic, fragmented world. Playing or working together to create
finished or unfinished works. Chamber musicians, criminals,
code-hackers and documentarists form ensembles. Artists try to.
Effective ensembles are high bandwidth assemblies that build into
their own architecture portals for random access into themselves. They
are, when they are at their best, open systems that place a premium on
shared information within them. They can at times maintain high levels
of secrecy while seemingly appearing to be transparent. Here,
confidentiality is an index of practices in gestation. Mined data is,
sometimes, restored to natural states of information entropy in data
dissembling ensembles, which have been found to work best at night in
media labs. The Raqs Media Collective is an ensemble and everything it
does is an ensemble of existing or anticipated practices."

You are here: ORS Hospital > Dermoscopy > Which Skin Lesions Are For Dermoscopic Evaluation?
Which Skin Lesions Are For Dermoscopic Evaluation?
Ideally, all skin lesions should be dermoscopically analyzed, however, that's not possible for practical reasons, hence, the following skin lesions are advised to be dermoscopically examined:
The ones that change
Lesions that change are considered to be the ones that have suffered a change of size, shape and/or color over a certain period of time. We call that evolution.
ORS Comment
Skin lesions grow with us until the age of 20, however if a growth occurs after that time, we consider that a sudden growth.
Newly acquired skin lesions in adults
New skin lesion on the cheek. The photo on the left is from an ID issued 2 years earlier. Newly acquired lesion has developed a year ago, and has had permanently slowly grown, changed shape and color.
ORS Comment
All new lesions acquired after the age of 20 are for dermoscopic examination, especially ones developed after the age of 40..
The ones that look different from other lesions
Promena koja se izdvaja, koja nema "braće, odnosno sestara", koja ne liči ni na jednu drugu promenu na vašem telu, uvek je za dermoskopsku analizu.
ORS komentar
Ovaj znak nazivamo "ružno pače". Ovakvu promenu možete sami uočiti ako pažljivo sagledate sličnosti i razlike na svojim kožnim promenama, to je ona promena koja se jasno razlikuje od svih ostalih i deluje kao da nije vaša.
unique lesion
Skin lesions that are hyperpigmented on the periphery
All lesions with peripheral hyperpigmentation are due for dermoscopic examination.
ORS Comment
Spotting a peripheral hyperpigmentation is a simple and effective clue that enables You to notice the first signs of an atypical process.
clinical photo
Exceptionaly dark skin lesions
Black and intensely blue skin lesions are mandated for a dermoscopic analysis, with a disregard to their size.
ORS Comment
Pay extra attention to these lesions if You haven't noticed them previously.
clinical photo
clinical photo
Any skin lesions that make You concerned
And at the end, if You are concerned about any lesion on Your skin, we advise You do a dermoscopic examination.
ORS Comment
Any concerns You may have over one lesion in comparison to others, is a reason good enough to do a dermoscopic analysis.
clinical photo
clinical photo
Atypicity in ABCDE rules of clinical examination
All lesions that are atypical in the sense of ABCDE rules of clinical examination are advised to be dermoscopically analyzed.

text: Happy Dragon Hostel is where we stayed for our four nights in Beijing. We lucked out and got upgraded to a private room since their dorms were full. The room was tiny with two twin beds but it had a TV, private bathroom, and the coldest AC I have experienced on my trip. Unfortunately the AC leaked on my bed but it was a small price to pay. All of the hostel walls are decorated with drawings, poems, and writing from former guests which was pretty cool. There is a bar/restaurant where they have two free parties every week: BBQ on Friday night and dumplings on Monday night. We went Friday night and it was fun. I wouldn't recommend eating many meals in the restaurant however as it's pretty expensive. The computers in the lobby are connected to a VPN so you can access Facebook and other sites that are blocked in China. It costs 1 RMB for 15 minutes which is cheap but unfortunately the internet is very slow. Wifi is free if you bring your own computer. There were always plenty of staff on hand and most were very friendly. Reception was 24/7 and access to the rooms was with key cards so it was secure. The location was good as it's close to a metro shop, shopping street, and the Forbidden City. My only complaints about the hostel were: (1) We were supposed to be served breakfast in the restaurant at 7am before our 7:30am Great Wall trip but it came out five minutes before we had to leave, which was annoying. (2) I asked them to do my laundry two days ahead of time but they said too many people had already asked that day and the next day it was supposed to rain (it was bright and sunny). So I had to wear dirty clothes on the train. (3) They refuse to book you a taxi to the train station, they say it is too close and to take the subway for 20 minutes. We went and hailed a cab on the street instead.

Apart from Iraq, and the fact that Peter Mandelson has not been hunted down with dogs and removed to Kamchatka, the 'New' Labour policy that excised my gut instinct to always vote for that ruin of a party was the whimsical decision in 2002 not to prevent the Royal Mail from removing postal traffic from the railways; this oh-so-green government decided that juggernauts would do the job much better. No-brainer or what?
But Patricia Hewitt's latest weekend-headlines wheeze might top the lot. This relentlessly horrible woman proposes a hike in alcohol tax to prevent teenagers binging on alcopops. Not a ban on their sale; or even a targeted tax; or even a change in licensing; no, because Brit teenagers are the most feckless, overfunded, thick, obtuse, venal little bastards in Europe and can't hold their booze, everyone else has to suffer.
Quite apart from the puritan undercurrents of this ludicrous idea - an expectably public and classically vulgar krypto-Blairite kneejerk to a query from a group of children, ideal Mail and Express fodder that will play well in traditionally Labour heartlands like, er, Solihull and Bromley - it has shadows of Islingtonian preciousness so typical of Blairism. Of the world where children, even if they have just lynched next door's pekinese, are always, enervatingly, addressed as 'darling', allowed democratically-agreed bedtimes, or just simply to fuck everyone else's life up as they see fit. 'They're tiny adults, you see,' is the stock excuse. The children aren't to blame. They never are; responsibilities, strangely enough, don't ever seem to come with the adulthood starter pack their addled parents bestow on them.
And so who is to blame, and who will cop the flak? If this obscenity finds its way to law, the people who will bear the brunt are artisanal brewers, winemakers, distillers, cidermakers; rural pubs; real ale fans; gourmet restaurants; anywhere, anyone and anything to do with quality drinks. Tax alcopops themselves? The horror! What corporate panic would that spread? Would a government that has no problem with obscene wealth even consider doing such a thing?
Does Traquair House or Wye Valley or Mauldon's or Sedlescombe Vineyard or Dunkerton's Cider or Springbank produce technicolour yawns in our city centres after midnight? Silly question - so silly, Hewitt hasn't even considered it.
Hewitt's harebrained scheme envisages the most regressive taxation in Britain since the Poll Tax - screw the innocent and modest and exculpate the guilty and rich.
Stop this woman. Now.

So one of blokes in the know that I've met in my internetty travels commented quite eloquently on why Australia's Defence Materiel Organisation, Defence Science Technology Organisation and Defence generally have the unwavering and universal respect of frontline ADF personnel when it comes to procurement projects.
In fact, this guy in particular was nice enough to let me quote him directly... call me unoriginal, but this really did deserve a repost...
"It generally ends up like this:
Year 1:
MAJ x says his thingy should be better and more like someone else's thingy. Now Maj x has never fired/used/physically seen the thingy but he's certainly read about it and he knows that it could be more like someone else's thingy aka better. Eventually MAJ gets promoted to LTCOL and gets to influence the procurements cycle.
Year 6:
LTCOL x now gets to influcance his mates at Capability Development Group to recognise that his thingy is old and could be better. CDG investigates a better thingy.
Year 8:
By investigate, they mean, fly around the world staying in plush hotels looking at other country's thingys. All the contractors who used to do the LTCOL's job in their countries, who make the thingys sweeten the deal and really put on a good show for CDG.
Year 9:
CDG comes back with its hair blown back saying to DMO how great someone's thingy is and how we would have a far superior force if we had one and how much of a budget it would save by buying twice as much.
Year 10:
DMO consults with DSTO about CDG's recommended thingy. DMO and DSTO have never physically seen the thingy either, but they also hear how awesome it is.
Year 11:
DSTO consults with its PhD wizards who do a feasibility study of using the thingy while wearing lab coats in an Adelaide/woomera paddock testing the "unique Australian requirements". DSTO determines that the thingy is the bees knees but they need to add widget y to it for it to meet "unique Australian conditions".
Year 12:
DSTO spend years working how exactly how to bolt on the widget and ignore the pre-made widget that the supplier gave for free because that widget doesn't meet "unique Australian camouflage patterns".
Year 14:
The thingy is released to much fanfare. The defence minister talks about how it's going to save lives and how the thingy will help make our troops more combat effective.
Meanwhile no one looked at how the digger was using it, why the digger was using it, what the digger thinks of it and what does the digger think is a better thingy.
Year 15:
The digger finally gets to see the thingy. He does a complicated course that's been bastardised by the ADF on the suppliers actual course. The thingy turns out marginally better than the orginal thingy if at all. In the last 15 years there have been some significant technological changes and since the thingy was identified and procured a much newer/better thingy version have come out but can't be bought since DMO and CDG haven't signed off on them as they signed off on thingy version a.
Meanwhile LTCOL x is now discharged, working for the contractor making a killing, the supplier paid big bucks to have someone deeply familiar with the ADF procurements process (read old boys network). Since LTCOL x has never actually used the thingy he still thinks it's the bees knees. When he hears about diggers complaining about it he just says that they are using it wrong and that all the bugs were fixed in the next version if only the ADF would buy it (and he gets the kick backs).
In the meantime we continue to say how we are the best equipped in the world, that our thingys are superior to other countries thingys. Even if they have newer thingys we say they don't use them correctly and that our way is better with older thingys.
Then one day a MAJ reading Australian Defence Magazine sees a really cool thingy that's kind of in his area..........."
It's just as well no-one on the internet actually reads what I post here (Hi Gran!!!)... we wouldn't actually want our elected leaders, senior ADF officers (who actually care for the greater good more than their own careers) and the associated bureaucracy to cotton on and actually handle Defence matters with any kind of common sense now would we (so much for obtaining an indirect fire capability other countries had seventy years ago)?

U.S. and China announce cybersecurity collaboration amid hacking dispute• The RawStory.com
China and the US, which are embroiled in a bitter dispute over hacking, have agreed to set up a cybersecurity working group, US Secretary of State John Kerry said on Saturday.
"All of us, every nation, has an interest in protecting its people, protecting its rights, protecting its infrastructure," he told reporters on a visit to Beijing.
"Cybersecurity affects everybody," he said. "It affects airplanes in the sky, trains on their tracks, it affects the flow of water through dams, it affects transportation networks, power plants, it affects the financial sector, banks, financial transactions.
"So we are going to work immediately on an accelerated basis on cyber."
The world's two largest economies have traded accusations this year over cyber-attacks after a US research company said in February that a Chinese army unit had stolen huge amounts of data, from mostly US companies.
