text: ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- Colorado Avalanche forward P.A. Parenteau will miss at least four weeks with a right knee injury, coach Patrick Roy said Tuesday after a team workout. Parenteau suffered a sprained MCL during a mid-ice collision early in an overtime win against Winnipeg on Monday. Parenteau has 14 goals and 19 assists this season. The Avalanche also are missing forward Paul Stastny because of a balky back. Hes expected to miss the game against Chicago on Wednesday, but Roy remains hopeful Stastny can play Friday. The rash of injuries has forced Roy to tinker with his line combinations up front. The team recalled Brad Malone and Paul Carey from Lake Erie of the American Hockey League to add depth at forward. T. J. Oshie Jersey . Dallas also Monday recalled defenceman Aaron Rome from his conditioning assignment with the Texas Stars of the American Hockey League and assigned goaltender Jack Campbell to the AHL squad. John Carlson Jersey . The Force had two men, including former Wallabies No. 8 Ben McCalman, in the sin-bin in the dying minutes of the match, but were able to resist a late Highlanders surge to post a four-try, bonus point win. http://www.officialcapitalsfanstore.com/...apitals-jersey/. That assertion is getting harder and harder to make, especially given the way 23-year-old Danilo Gallinari has been playing this season. Jaromir Jagr Jersey . The Detroit Tigers closer blew a three-run lead in the ninth inning Wednesday night against the Dodgers. Jakub Vrana Jersey .J. -- Patrick Sharp is on one of those streaks.NEW YORK -- In the final dramatic couple of minutes Sunday night, offensively-gifted DeMar DeRozan turned into a defensive superstar, sent sprawling to the floor when he took two charges. Not to be outdone, hobbling six-foot point guard Kyle Lowry dropped a lovely sky hook over 6-11 giant and future Hall of Famer Kevin Garnett. The final minutes of the Toronto Raptors 87-79 victory over the Brooklyn Nets on Sunday could define this young team and their season -- fighting to the end, finding a way to win. "Thats just us, man," DeRozan said. "Were resilient. Were not going to give up until the games over, were going to fight it through. . . We did it on the defensive end to win this game." DeRozan scored 24 points and Lowry added 22 to lift the beaten-up Raptors to their first playoff victory on the road since Game 1 against Philadelphia way back in 2001. After the final whistle, a smiling coach Dwane Casey said it was the most proud hes ever been of his team. "(But) were on a mission, its a marathon," the coach added. "We cant get too excited about a win, cant get too down about a loss. Thats what the playoffs are about." Amir Johnson, playing on the wonky ankle that has plagued him all season, finished with 17 points. Patrick Patterson and Greivis Vasquez finished with nine points apiece off the bench, and Patterson grabbed a team-high nine rebounds. The best-of-seven Eastern Conference playoff series heads to Toronto tied at two wins apiece. Game 5 is Wednesday at Air Canada Centre, while Game 6 will be back at Barclays Center on Friday. The Raptors led by as much as 17 points -- the biggest lead by either team in this series -- in the first half, but struggled through the second and third quarters, running into foul trouble and failing to hit shots. Still, the nailbiter went into the fourth tied at 67-67. From there, the Raptors dug in with one of their best defensive efforts of the season, holding the Nets to just three baskets in the final 12 minutes. And when the final whistle blew, the Raptors fans in attendance at Barclays Center stood and applauded the Toronto players off the floor. "I think were just encouraged," Lowry said. "Were going home 2-2. Were encouraged by that. We got a split, now its a three-game series, now weve got to take care of home. Our confidence is high, were excited." Lowry, who came away from Fridays game with a bad right knee and a busted lip, was noticeably limping at times. "Im OK," Lowry said. "Its something thats controllable, we can do what weve got to do to get through the playoffs, its nothing where I need surgery. Its definitely a pain, but Im not going to worry about it, Im not going to complain about it, Im going to go out there and do my job." Lowry kept his composure despite playing the entire second half with five fouls. "Hes dealing with a lot right now, and he came through with flying colours," Casey said. "Fought through foul trouble, a little bit of adversity throughout the game and still came through." Lowrys teammates heaped praise on their tough-as-nails point guard in the post-game dressing room. "I am not surprised at all that Kyle is limping around," Chuck Hayes said. "Man, he was limping all four quarters. Hes a warrior. Hes everything to this team. The guy gives it his all. We just feed off him." Lowry and DeRozan -- the teams leaders through this remarkable season -- sat side by side at the podium after the game, addressing the media. They talked about the chemistry in this young team. "Were a pretty close-knit team, we understand the situation that were in, its a stepping stone for us," Lowry said. "Were getting our feet wet. This man (DeRozan) is becoming a superstar in front of everybodys eyes. Hes doing it on the defensive end, the offensive end." They both chuckled when Lowry was asked about his late-game hook shot over Garnett that gave Toronto a sixx-point lead.dddddddddddd "I think that was the first time (Ive done that) in a game," Lowry said. "Thats something I work on in the summertime. Kevin Garnett is 6-11, hes a guy who can block shots, and I thought that was a shot I can go to. I took the shot to be aggressive. It looked good. It felt good." There was more laughter when DeRozan was asked if the two charges he took down the stretch marked a career high. "Nah. I dont think so. I hope its not," DeRozan said. "With Kyle (being injured), I knew I had to pick up the offence early, so I did that, just come out aggressive and I knew they were going to change up and start trying to get the ball out of my hands. . . I knew I could do some things on the defensive end and thats what I did." Paul Pierce led the Nets with 22 points, while Mirza Teletovic had 12. Garnett and Deron Williams finished with 10 points apiece. "Theyre a competitive group," Pierce said on the Raptors play down the stretch. "Weve seen that all season long, how well they play, getting 48 wins, how well they play in the fourth quarter, so many comeback wins. We understand that this is a group thats not going to back down, thats not going to give up. They earn a lot of respect around the league." The Nets won Games 1 and 3, while the Raptors took Game 2 in whats been an incredibly even matchup all season between these two teams. Prior to Sunday, Toronto had outscored the Nets 678-677 in their seven meetings. The Raptors had struggled with turnovers all series, but cleaned up their act Sunday, giving up the ball just 12 times. The one negative on the night was Terrence Ross, who was M.I.A. for a fourth straight game. Couple with his struggles, Landry Fields being sidelined with a bad back, and the number of Raptors in early foul trouble, Casey went deep into his bench, utilizing John Salmons, Chuck Hayes and Steve Novak for stretches of the third and fourth quarters. Ross, who dropped 51 points in a game earlier this season, has struggled in his playoff debut, and had another rough night Sunday, finishing with zero points in 16 minutes. Fields, who got dumped on his back during Fridays game, didnt dress. While the Raptors braced a hostile crowd at Barclays Center -- especially after GM Masai Ujiris now famous F-bomb about Brooklyn -- it never really materialized. The crowds on either Friday or Sunday didnt pack the auditory punch of the Air Canada Centre. Fans waved white towels, and there was the odd chant of "Ref you suck!" A group of Nets fans chanted "Raptors suck!" before the singing of O Canada. There were large pockets of red-clad Raptors fans in attendance, and their cheers for Raptors baskets down the stretch almost negated Brooklyns homecourt advantage. Rihanna sat courtside, along with Michael K. Williams and Felicia (Snoop) Pearson -- Omar and Snoop from "The Wire." Williams did the Nets introductions. Russian boxer Ruslan Provodnikov, the current world light welterweight champion, was also in attendance. Meanwhile, back in Toronto on Sunday, thousands of fans jammed Maple Leaf Square to watch the game on the giant screen outside Air Canada Centre. They chanted "We the North!" Two fans participated in a tug-of-war with a Nets T-shirt on stage, eventually ripping it. Amir Johnson led the way with 11 points as the Raptors sprinted out to an 11-point lead just three minutes after tipoff. They continued to build their advantage, and seven straight points by Johnson put Toronto up by 15. They led 35-22 at the end of the first. The Raptors stretched their advantage to 17 points with 5:40 left in the first half. But the Nets went on a 14-2 run to pull within five points. The Raptors headed to the locker-room with a 51-44 lead at halftime. Toronto went a horrible 1-for-16 to open the third quarter, but managed to remain within five points of the Nets, and the game went into the fourth all tied up. ' ' '

Arranging translations can be equally as frustrating, unless you are fortunate enough to be near a genealogical society that has interest groups with native speakers who are willing to take the time to help. Never underestimate the amount of time and frustration that translation involves, even for an expert. The older the document, the more likely it will contain some archaic language/script, or elements of a localized dialect that are certain to challenge your translator.
Fortunately, for those involved in Norwegian genealogical research, there are many organizations that have provided tools to help. Take a look at the Norwegian glossary of genealogical terms published online by NAHA (Norwegian-American Historical Association). You can print out the list and carry it with you wherever you go to do research. No longer will you assume that the word "barn" in Norwegian has something to do with farm animals.
When does a foreign language glossary come in handy? I find it especially useful when trying to glean tidbits from Norwegian bygdeboker (local histories) obtained through interlibrary loan. It is amazing how much information you can pick out from a foreign language text when you recognize a few choices words in conjunction with the dates given.
Also, keep in mind that some Norwegian language databases are becoming increasingly English-friendly. Look for a button or term to click on, in order to have the page translated for you (this is akin to that EASY button we've all seen on TV). Want an example? Go to the home page of one of my favorite research databases, the Norwegian census: Digitalarkivet, and look at the very top of the gray side bar on the left. See where it says: "English"? Click on it and see what magic occurs.
Another good move for a serious researcher would be to take a class or two in the foreign language of interest. I'm not necessarily talking about quitting your day job and applying to the local university. There are many areas around the country offering low-pressure, low-cost community classes, and language instruction is sometimes offered to the members of various organizations, like Sons of Norway, which also holds language camps for children and youths (kids have ALL the fun...)
In Seattle, we are fortunate enough to have the Scandinavian Language Institute, which offers classes on a quarterly basis. The classes, which meet at various locations once a week, emphasize pronunciation, conversation, and having a good time. Just taking a beginning class in Norwegian had helped me immensely when it comes to understanding the different alphabet and recognizing useful terms in documents. Not only that, but after a basic class, you will no longer turn away shyly the next time someone asks: "Hvordan har du det?"

First off the invitation... this one was inspired by a Pink Peppermint Paper design. The little plane I cut with my Cricut and I put a dimensional so it looks like it's on the air.
For the cake I wanted something different from what I've done before, so I asked for cupcakes. The little airplanes on the cupcakes and the cake topper I did myself. This was my first attempt at making fondant figurines... I think they came out pretty decent! I showed you the little cupcake toppers I made for the rest of the cupcakes but things were so hectic I forgot to use them!!!
The dessert table included popcorn, sour gumballs, home made brownies and mascarpone tarts, and other yummy snacks! I found a great tablecloth that tied it all together with the beautiful banner I made.
I used gable boxes for the party favors. As always, they were personalized with each kid's name. Also they included age appropriate favors, such as bibs and bath toys for the little babies, mini books and gummy treats for toddlers, markers, play dough, gliders, activity books, model airplanes, candy and lots more! I got this great idea from a party I found at Nounces.com, where they put these genius signs over the favor box and the gift tables. I also made favors for the adults: peanuts and pretzels.
Finally the piñata, a huge aiplane that was custom made by a very talented friend. I also made a pilot license out of foam board so that our guests could take their pictures.
Everything came out exactly as I expected and our little boy had a blast. All the hard work was worth it for sure!!! Happy 2nd Birthday little monkey!!!

Claude Monet was smitten by Japanese art: Impressionism and ukiyo-e
Lee Jay Walker
Modern Tokyo Times
Claude Monet was very important within French Impressionism and despite new artistic movements like Cubism and Fauvism altering the artistic landscape, he remained firmly committed to Impressionist art. Another major art theme which would shape Claude Monet was Japanese ukiyo-e because he was smitten by this art form when he witnessed it with his own eyes. Therefore, Claude Monet utilized these two powerful art movements and the upshot of this was stunning fresh art pieces which remain etched within the memory.
The Impressionist art movement altered the artistic world dramatically and created a new energy to art. However, for Claude Monet, and others, Impressionism was a philosophy which remained with him until parting from this world.
He was born in 1840 in Paris and died in 1926. Throughout his long life he created extremely stunning art which is internationally admired. From an early age Claude Monet adored art and in the early period he took lessons from Jacques-Francois Ochard. However, his early mentor who taught him about using oil paints was Eugene Boudin, a fellow artist, whom he met when still a teenager. Claude Monet and Eugene Boudin also benefitted from the influence of Johan Barthold Jongkind.
The year 1857 was very dramatic and full of sadness because Claude Monet's mother died. From this period to the early 1860s he witnessed many highs and lows because other family members were opposed to his strong focus on art. In the early 1860s he served in the French army in Algeria and was meant to have stayed for seven years. However, after suffering from typhoid fever he was allowed to leave after two years because of the actions of his aunt and the reported prompting of Johan Barthold Jongkind.
Claude Monet in 1862 could once more fully concentrate on art but he wasn't interested in following traditional art. He now became a student under Charles Gleyre in the dynamic city of Paris. In time he would meet powerful artists like Alfred Sisley, Pierre-Auguste Renoir and Frederic Bazille. These artists were focused on new approaches to art and in time the Impressionist movement would radically alter the artistic landscape. Therefore, because of these individuals and others who were dedicated to new artistic concepts, a rich flow of art would galvanize the art world which remains vibrant today.
The 1870s was a very dramatic period for Claude Monet because the Franco-Prussian war of 1870-1871 and the revolutionary fervor which gripped Paris, led to many upheavals. During the same period he was touched by Japanese print making called ukiyo-e. This love affair would stay with him for the rest of his life. However, the death of his wife from tuberculosis in 1879 after several years of illness shattered Claude Monet because he doted on Camille Doncieux.
Turning back to the impact of Japanese art on Claude Monet the writer Don Morrison, Time Magazine, commented in his article (Monet's Love Affair with Japanese Art) that "One day in 1871, legend has it, a French artist named Claude Monet walked into a food shop in Amsterdam, where he had gone to escape the Prussian siege of Paris. There he spotted some Japanese prints being used as wrapping paper. He was so taken by the engravings that he bought one on the spot. The purchase changed his life — and the history of Western art."
"Monet went on to collect 231 Japanese prints, which greatly influenced his work and that of other practitioners of Impressionism, the movement he helped create. Under the new Meiji Emperor, Japan in the 1870s was just opening to the outside world after centuries of isolation. Japanese handicrafts were flooding into European department stores and art galleries. Japonisme, a fascination with all things Japanese, was soon the rage among French intellectuals and artists, among them Vincent van Gogh, Edouard Manet, Camille Pissarro and the young Monet. Perhaps for that reason Impressionism caught on early in Japan and remains ferociously popular there."
While it is known that Claude Monet adored ukiyo-e you still have major debates about how Japanese prints influenced him personally. This topic is still up in the air to many art experts and the opinion varies greatly.
On the following website (http://www.intermonet.com/japan/) it is stated that "Art historians do not agree about this point: was Monet really under Japanese influence, or did he seek confirmations of his own research in Eastern art?"
"However, an attentive eye can establish interesting connections. The influence of the prints on Monet's art can be noted in the subjects he chose, in the composition, in light……But Monet knew how to be inspired without borrowing. His paintings diverge, from the prints by many aspects. The Japanese artists liked to feature the anecdotic or dramatic moments, Monet concentrated on light, which was the very subject of the canvas – the object was no more than (a) medium to convey the plays of light."
Art historians can either play up or play down the influence of ukiyo-e within the art of Claude Monet. However, he was clearly charmed by the ukiyo-e of individuals like Hokusai, Hiroshige, and Utamaro. This isn't open to debate because not only did Claude Monet buy vast amount of ukiyo-e art prints but he also created a Japanese garden in his cherished home. He, and many other important Impressionists, was clearly inspired by many aspects of ukiyo-e.
The cultural dimension could never be bridged because of different thought patterns and factors behind both respective art movements. However, the richness of ukiyo-e and the freshness of this style did reinvigorate many artists in Europe and North America. Therefore, while the degree of influence may vary to respective artists who adored ukiyo-e, it is clear that new artistic concepts within ukiyo-e did inspire new thinking within many Impressionists.
Don Morrison comments that "Perhaps the greatest gift Japan gave Monet, and Impressionism, was an incandescent obsession with getting the play of light and shadow, the balance of colors and the curve of a line, just right — not the way it is in reality, but the way it looks in the artist's imagination. "I have slowly learned about the pattern of the grass, the trees, the structure of birds and other animals like insects and fish, so that when I am 80, I hope to be better," Hokusai wrote 16 years before his death at age 89. "At 90, I hope to have caught the very essence of things, so that at 100 I will have reached heavenly mysteries. At 110, every point and line will be living." Monet spent the last decades of his life painting his water lilies, and then painting them again, until he lost his sight in quest of an elusive, transcendent perfection that might best be called Japanese."
The love affair that Claude Monet found with Japan in his lifetime remains powerful in modern Japan. After all, without a shadow of a doubt Claude Monet is one of the most popular artists in this country. Therefore, the "love affair" worked both ways and this "spark" remains extremely bright today in Japan amongst art lovers.

Program Information | Tracks | Who Should Attend | What is Web 2.0 | Program Co-chairs | Conference Diversity
Web 2.0 Expo, co-produced by O'Reilly Media and UBM TechWeb, showcases the latest Web 2.0 business models, development paradigms and design strategies for the builders of the next-generation Web. This annual multi-track conference brings together people, ideas, connections, contacts, products, and companies to foster stronger Web 2.0 communities. Web 2.0 Expo events occur in San Francisco and New York and feature influential keynotes and speakers, detailed workshops, a Launch Pad start-up program, an Expo show floor, a Web2Open unconference, and rich networking events.
The Web continues to be an engine of economic growth, fueled by a host of new business models, development models, and design patterns that collectively fall under the umbrella of Web 2.0, a term coined at the birth of Web 2.0 Summit (formerly named Web 2.0 Conference), a joint venture between O'Reilly and UBM TechWeb.
To meet the increasing demand for Web 2.0 comprehension and skills, and to build a broader Web 2.0 community, O'Reilly Media and UBM TechWeb launched the inaugural Web 2.0 Expo in April 2007 in San Francisco. That event was the first conference and tradeshow for the rapidly growing ranks of designers and developers, product managers, entrepreneurs, VCs, marketers, and business strategists who are embracing the opportunities created by Web 2.0 technologies.
The program at Web 2.0 Expo will spotlight experts, leaders, and under-the-radar innovators, and in the spirit of Web 2.0, there will be ample opportunity for attendees to connect, contribute, and collaborate. Web 2.0 Expo is a place for creativity, engineering, and innovation, focusing on four conversations:
Web 2.0 Expo is explicitly designed to address the needs of technical, design, marketing, and business professionals building the next-generation web, including:
Past Web 2.0 Expo events brought together participants from these—and many more—companies and organizations:
Adobe, AOL, American Greetings Interactive, Apple, BA Venture Partners, BP, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Discovery Health Media, Dow Jones & Company, EMC, Experian Interactive, First Round Capital, Great Spirit Ventures, Hitachi, Hummer Winblad Venture Partners, IEEE, Intel Corporation, Intuit, Jet Propultion Laboratory, Labrador Ventures, MTV Networks, Magazine Publishers of America, McGill University, Monster Worldwide, Motion Picture Association of America, Nokia, North Bridge Venture Partners, Northrop Grumman Information Technology, RealNetworks, Simon & Schuster, Standard & Poor's, Sun Microsystems, Symbol Technologies, The Heritage Foundation, The Wall Street Journal Online, Turner Broadcastings Systems, University of Richmond, University of Southern California, Walt Disney Internet Group, WhitePages.com
Defining exactly what Web 2.0 means is still an ongoing conversation. Tim O'Reilly attempts to clarify Web 2.0, digging into what it means to view the Web as a platform, and which applications fall squarely under its purview and which do not.

It's a new school year, but an old fight is fast becoming the title bout in American classrooms. Teachers and administrators around the country are perplexed once again over the Pledge of Allegiance.
The courts have consistently ruled that students have the right not to recite the pledge in public schools. But now some First Amendment advocates are taking it one step further, arguing that the law compels educators to inform kids at the beginning of school that the decision is entirely up to them.
I pledge allegiance...or do I?
No Trackbacks

intended to post in BIBM not BING, so copied and posted to BIBM
Converted GPT to EMBR.
Made extended partition.
Allocated space to 5 volumes.
Disk Management shows space Unallocated.
Rescan disk. Still unallocated.
File manager does not show partition allocations and names.
OS and file manager always showed BIBM and BING allocations in past years.
Is the issue EMBR and/or Win8.1 nuances?
If so, will consider limiting partitions to 4 (delete WinRe and/or OEM recovery partitions) to change drive type to MBR.
Also, wondering if no mouse, no keyboard issues installing Win7 might relate to EMBR vs MBR.

Worldwide silicon wafer area shipments decreased during the third quarter 2015 when compared to second quarter area shipments according to the SEMI Silicon Manufacturers Group (SMG) in its quarterly analysis of the silicon wafer industry.
Total silicon wafer area shipments were 2,591 million square inches during the most recent quarter, a 4.1 percent decrease from the record amount of 2,702 million square inches shipped during the previous quarter. New quarterly total area shipments were flat when compared to third quarter 2014 shipments.
"After two consecutive record breaking quarters, quarterly silicon shipment growth slightly declined," said Ginji Yada, chairman of SEMI SMG and general manager, International Sales & Marketing Department of SUMCO Corporation. "Quarterly shipments for the most recent quarter are on par with the same quarter as last year, with total silicon shipment volumes for 2015 through the end of the third quarter higher relative to the same period last year."
Silicon wafers are the fundamental building material for semiconductors, which in turn, are vital components of virtually all electronics goods, including computers, telecommunications products, and consumer electronics. The highly engineered thin round disks are produced in various diameters (from one inch to 12 inches) and serve as the substrate material on which most semiconductor devices or "chips" are fabricated.
All data cited in this release is inclusive of polished silicon wafers, including virgin test wafers and epitaxial silicon wafers, as well as non-polished silicon wafers shipped by the wafer manufacturers to the end-users.
The Silicon Manufacturers Group acts as an independent special interest group within the SEMI structure and is open to SEMI members involved in manufacturing polycrystalline silicon, monocrystalline silicon or silicon wafers (e.g., as cut, polished, epi, etc.). The purpose of the group is to facilitate collective efforts on issues related to the silicon industry including the development of market information and statistics about the silicon industry and the semiconductor market.

Maia Ming Fong-Eva Tea Set Teapot and Teacups
At Design Interviews
Interview with Maia Ming Fong : Frank Scott: What is the main principle, idea and inspiration behind your design?. Maia Ming Fong : The EVA tea set was named after a design hero of mine, Eva Zeisel, who made some sensual and timeless ceramics, including tea services, in her day. .Frank Scott: What has been your main focus in designing this work? Especially what did you want to achieve?. Maia Ming Fong : I wanted to create an elegant and tactile, functional product with a timeless and classic quality. .Frank Scott: What are your future plans for this award winning design?. Maia Ming Fong : I would like to establish the EVA as a modern design classic and sell a lot of them! At some point I would like to offer another size and add a sugar bowl and milk pitcher to the family. .Frank Scott: How long did it take you to design this particular concept?. Maia Ming Fong : The entire development and production cycle for the EVA occurred in 2013. .Frank Scott: Why did you design this particular concept? Was this design commissioned or did you decide to pursuit an inspiration?. Maia Ming Fong : My first tea set for Maia Ming Designs was the BULB, made in stoneware, which has a traditionally Asian style side handle on the tea pot and no handles on the cups. I wanted my next tea set to be made in porcelain and to have a more traditional Western style handle on the tea pot and cups without sacrificing the tactile experience in use. .Frank Scott: Is your design being produced or used by another company, or do you plan to sell or lease the production rights or do you intent to produce your work yourself?. Maia Ming Fong : Currently the EVA is being produced by a local porcelain manufacturer in Catalunya for Maia Ming Designs. My plan is to continue with this, though I will, of course, adapt as necessary and am open to considering the possibility of leasing production rights. .Frank Scott: What made you design this particular type of work?. Maia Ming Fong : There are not so many tea pots where the spout integrates and flows naturally from the body of the pot. I felt this shape offered many advantages I was looking for both in aesthetics and functionality. .Frank Scott: Where there any other designs and/or designers that helped the influence the design of your work?. Maia Ming Fong : I studied many tea pots made by designers including Eva Zeisel, Linda Bloomfield, Corrie Bain and others. I also looked at many Yixing clay tea pots and considered manufacturing the black matte in Yixing, China. Lastly, I am a big fan of Jonathan Adler's whimsical ceramics. .Frank Scott: Who is the target customer for his design?. Maia Ming Fong : Tea lovers, design lovers, among whom I include myself. People looking for a beautiful and functional, quality tea set. .Frank Scott: What sets this design apart from other similar or resembling concepts?. Maia Ming Fong : First of all, I have not seen a tea set like the EVA manufactured in porcelain, most of the similar concepts have been hand made and in other clays. Secondly, the relationship of the curves and sensory touch between the tea pot and cups is very strong. .Frank Scott: How did you come up with the name for this design? What does it mean?. Maia Ming Fong : The EVA is my personal tribute to the late ceramics designer Eva Ziesel. I like to think it is a tea set she would have appreciated and taken pleasure in using. "My designs are meant to attract the hand as well as the eye." - Eva Zeisel .Frank Scott: Which design tools did you use when you were working on this project?. Maia Ming Fong : The early prototypes were made by modifying wheel thrown forms. The production drawings were created using Adobe Illustrator. .Frank Scott: What is the most unique aspect of your design?. Maia Ming Fong : The continuous curve integrating from the body through the spout of the teapot, which lends to a better pour. The finishing details of the silver plated ring on the glossy white tea pot; and the black matte/glossy white details of the body/lid and cups/rim. Finally, the relationship of curves between the tea pot and cups is very strong and the tactile nature of the EVA enhances the sensory experience of drinking tea. .Frank Scott: Who did you collaborate with for this design? Did you work with people with technical / specialized skills?. Maia Ming Fong : My model maker, Claudi de José, was a key collaborator in the development of the EVA. His 30+ years experience in the ceramics industry and his talent in executing the models and molds was fundamental to the successful outcome of this product. The manufacturer also is taking particular effort with the hand finishing idiosyncrasies and details of the EVA. .Frank Scott: What is the role of technology in this particular design?. Maia Ming Fong : I briefly considered developing the EVA with Rhinoceros 3D modeling and printing out prototypes in ceramic. But I think the traditional model making approach served this product better to evaluate and modify the tactile and technical details. .Frank Scott: Is your design influenced by data or analytical research in any way? What kind of research did you conduct for making this design?. Maia Ming Fong : I mainly researched other tea sets in determining a sale price for the EVA. It is not easy to produce in small series as a start up company, but I wanted the EVA to be a design piece available at an accessible price. .Frank Scott: What are some of the challenges you faced during the design/realization of your concept?. Maia Ming Fong : Porcelain is difficult to work with and has propensities to deform much more than other clays. Our biggest challenge was making the stainless steel filter insert work at an angle and fit perfectly with the lid. The black matte glaze is also very challenging on porcelain, much more so than glossy white. .Frank Scott: How did you decide to submit your design to an international design competition?. Maia Ming Fong : The EVA merits special attention and promotion which an international design award can offer. .Frank Scott: What did you learn or how did you improve yourself during the designing of this work?. Maia Ming Fong : I had an immense learning curve in porcelain manufacturing during the development of the EVA. The EVA is much more complicated than the other porcelain designs I have realized to date. .Frank Scott: Any other things you would like to cover that have not been covered in these questions?. Maia Ming Fong : A few quotes from Eva Zeisel that I like... "Beautiful things make people happy." "My designs are meant to attract the hand as well as the eye." "When I design something, I think of it as a gift to somebody else." .

Nineteen veterans and active-duty service members from the Army and Air Force allege in a new lawsuit filed Friday that they were sexually assaulted while in the military and Defense Secretary Leon Panetta and other leaders denied them their constitutional rights of due process after reporting the crimes.
The suit seeks monetary damages, though no precise figure was named. It is the fifth lawsuit of its kind filed by Susan Burke, a Washington, D.C.-based attorney.
The 15 women and four men named in the suit were all retaliated against after reporting rapes and were denied the right to have their cases heard by an impartial party, Burke said. In the military, senior commanders are in charge of determining whether reported sexual assaults will be referred to military courts.
Related: Victims of sexual assault in military say brass often ignore pleas for justice
"Anyone who has looked closely at these types of cases knows that we have a disgraceful system," Burke told NBC News. "It is controlled by the chain of command. These rape survivors were all denied entry into a court system, and they were retaliated against."
While each case has different facts on the time and place of the assault, they demonstrate a pattern of a systematic failure of leadership and oversight, Burke said, explaining why Panetta is named in the suit.
The lawsuit filed Friday comes on the heels of a rare case of an Army general being charged with sexual assault and a scandal at Lackland Air Base in San Antonio, Texas, in which at least in which at least a dozen military instructors are accused of sexually assaulting young female recruits.
Related: Army general accused of sex misconduct
Army Brig. Gen. Jeffrey A. Sinclair, who has served 27 years, including tours of Afghanistan and Iraq, on Wednesday was charged with forced sex on a subordinate and other offenses. He was relieved of his duty in May and recalled to Fort Bragg, N.C., where the charges were referred to military investigators.
Rep. Jackie Speier, D-Calif., joined a news conference in San Francisco announcing the new lawsuit.
Watch US News videos on NBCNews.com
In November 2011, Speier introduced legislation in Congress to reform the military justice system and the way it handles cases of rape and sexual assault. H.R. 3435, the Sexual Assault Training and Oversight Prevention Act (STOP Act), would create an impartial office made up of civilian and military experts within the military to review cases of rape and sexual assault. The bill has 133 bipartisan cosponsors.
For his part, Panetta has moved to change how sexual assaults are reported and dealt with inside the armed forces. In April, he issued new policies requiring that more senior commanders handle sexual assault complaints. And on Tuesday he ordered all military branches to improve the quality of sexual assault prevention and training.
However, Burke, and activists claim those moves fall short.
"This has been going on for years," Burke said. "Clearly, keeping these cases inside the military system isn't working."

Does Arizona allow Delivery Specialists when you get your car?
Does Arizona allow Delivery Specialists when you get your car?
Hello Carefree.
I'm significantly behind you in the wait for a car (#154xx)Since we can't get to see a live car here in AZ, it would be great to meet some Tesla owners who have theirs. Is there a Tesla club here in Phoenix on near by?
Carefree, and others in the Phoenix area: I just took delivery in Washington state with a delivery specialist. Drove the car for 5 days then flew here to Sun Lakes. The car is being brought down on a transport and due on Monday, 1/7. I would be willing to give you a ride and maybe even let you drive it. Maybe we could plan some Sat or Sun for those that are interested to all get together. I have to think a bit about the details. Any suggestions? If you are interested, email me at firstname.lastname@example.com. Put Tesla in the subject line as you will come into my junk mail.
Thanks for the offer Carefree. I expect to go to Denver in the next few weeks and take a test drive at the store there. I would be very interested in talking to you and getting your feedback on early ownership after the car arrives.
I am a little surprised that TM has not at least informally encouraged current owners in states (such as AZ hint, hint, TM are you watching?) were they can't yet sell cars to get in touch with prospective owners and those with a reservation number to at least get more familiar with the car in person and as a passenger. I suspect that not all owners would want to do that but I also suspect that many would.
Thanks Cerjor. You read my mind as I was writing my response to Carefree. According to the folks at the store in Scottsdale perhaps 20 MS have been delivered in AZ.Sounds like a Tesla owners club needs to be started here in the valley of the sun. I'll be in touch.
Start a group and get a Tesla owners test drive campaign going. At a minimum a group of willing Model S owners could drive through the state with designated stops that people could just happen to hear about. If the attendance was large enough maybe these states would start to wake up when everyone at the event started calling their state reps.
With any unluck the state might make the mistake of arresting owners for some trumped up charge and these foolish laws would get headline news.
"They still cannot offer test drives in AZ"
So if a Tesla employee takes a weeks vacation and drives to AZ in his own Model S and offers a test drive to someone who asks, the state is going to arrest them or fine Tesla? This is why these laws are a joke. When Tesla gets the capital I bet Elon is REALLY going to push this law.
OK, so I've had my Model S since December 23 and here are some specifics for Arizona deliveries.
1) No delivery specialist with vehicle. The car was dropped off at my house by a carrier. I did have a delivery specialist go over the vehicle with me a couple of days later, but I'm not sure this is the norm. Prior to the DS showing up, I was told they would go over the car over the phone.
2) Registration - I had a temporary California registration with the car when it arrived which meant I attached a small piece of paper to the back window with no plate. I drove around like this for a couple of weeks (kind of nervous about getting pulled over but never happened). I got my paperwork to take to the DMV about 2 weeks after delivery and registered the car. Had to pay the sales tax at the DMV which for me amounted to about 6.5% but as a bonus because it is an electric car, I got the alt-fuel plates which allows you to ride in the HOV lanes and 5 years of registration was only $150!
3) Club - there is an informal AZ Club with a thread on the tesla motors club website. The URL is http://www.teslamotorsclub.com/showthread.php/8082-Arizona-Phoenix-and-T...
The link that kishdude posted above is very active and helpful and more Arizonacentric. Would encourage AZ "Tesloons" (as someone else put it) to check it out and join. I did.
How do you go about starting up an AZ club?
@kishdude | JANUARY 5, 2013: Registration - I had a temporary California registration with the car when it arrived which meant I attached a small piece of paper to the back window with no plate.
I got my car today (Saturday) in Tucson. No temporary registration came with the car. I called them and the person answering the phone told me that no one was there that handled registration, but that they should have FedExed the paperwork and I would get it by Monday. So I can't drive the car legally until then.

However, I feel this card is quite appropriate for today because you see, Jingle needs two very basic things in life to handle the outside world. One of those things is food. I don't do hungry well. I had plenty of that over the weekend, so that wasn't a problem. However, the other basic, intrinsic need Jingle has is sleep. Of that, my dear friends, I had very little. HA! Working on catching up, though, so I promise I will be nice!
Is that not the AWESOMEST crab stamp you have ever seen in your AWESOMEST life? (Remember...if I use it, it automatically becomes a word. Just say'n.) It is the fabulous Blue Crab stamp from 100 Proof Press! Just CHECK OUT that detail! I love it. And no, I didn't stamp it in blue and grey like a proper blue crab. Good thing for me...blue crabs and the red ones have VEWY VEWY simiwar body structure, so I feel confident in getting away with my red/orange color scheme on this one. Just say'n.
I printed the sentiment using the American Typewriter font. {heart.} And the background is a severly fabulous piece of October Afternoon goodness! The ribbon, albeit fabulous, has been in my stash forever and a few days, so I'm not really sure who made it, but I love it. For reals.
So, here's the deal. I'll try not to be crabby if you promise to head on over to 100 Proof Press to check out their other awesome sea creature stamps along with all the other cuteness they have over there! You can purchase them mounted, unmounted, or cushioned for mounting on your own wood, so you have choices GALORE, my friends!
I hope you have a super fantabulous Monday full of people who are not crabby. Just Say'n.
Jingle OUT!

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. -- If the Army is serious about wanting to reduce the weight of its vehicles, then it has to seriously re-evaluate how it operates and not depend so heavily on material science, said Paul Rogers, the director of U.S. Army Tank Automotive Research Development and Engineering Center (TARDEC).
"If you really want to go after vehicle weight in a disruptive manner, material science is an aspect of it but we really need to start challenging our doctrine, our conops, and our reliance on other technological means," Rogers said here Friday at the Association of the U.S. Army's Winter Symposium.
Vehicle weights have significantly increased as commanders look to protect their troops from relatively basic threats such as improvised explosive devices that littered the roads in Iraq and Afghanistan. With those increased weights, Army leaders have complained about losing their speed on the battlefield.
Rogers explained that to lessen those weights, too much is expected from material science. Unless there is a major break through in material science, Rogers said the Army can expect to reduce tank weights by only about six tons over the next 30 years.
However, if the Army was willing to take some risks and re-think the way it operates, it could slash vehicle weights.
"If you really want to get down to a 20 ton platform, lets take the soldier completely out of it and lets leverage autonomy out of systems," Rogers said.
With soldiers coming out of Afghanistan after 12 years at war, Rogers said it's time the Army take some risk in vehicle weights. Rogers said he's interested in working with U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command to reconsider how the Army operates in its armored vehicles.
It's time for the Army to consider the vehicle as a member of the squad, Rogers said. Soldiers should be able to depend on their vehicle to collect real time data for them and provide analysis. Vehicles should be better connected to unmanned vehicles collecting information overhead.
Heidi Shyu, the Army acquisition chief, has focused the Army to better sync their Science & Technology efforts to deliver better equipment on the battlefield quicker. Rogers said she has forced TARDEC to look beyond five years. He said that has helped understand future technologies and will help them take educated risks.
"I think this is a time to take risk. I think this is a time to incentivize ourselves to take risk. The longer planning horizons allow us to do that," Rogers said.

A police officer in Uvalde County was arrested Thursday for allegedly possessing and promoting child pornography.
According to Uvalde County jail records, Sabinal police officer Jason Villasana, 35, was arrested by the U.S. Marshalls earlier this week on four child pornography related charges.
He is currently being held in the Uvalde County Jail on $900,000 bond.
"They (U.S. Marshal's) had a warrant for a subject here in town," Sabinal Police Chief Jesus Reyes told KSAT-TV. "We talked about it and we found out it was one of the officers."
In a statement to the Express-News, the department said that Villasana was fired immediately after the arrest.

The interface connects sensors with IO-Link capability to a PC and enables parameter setting of sensors, reading of the current parameter setting, of the current measured values and further process values. The LINERECORDER sensor operating software is used for set-up, parameter setting and process data exchange of the IO-Link devices. An EtherNet patch cable is used to connect the IO-Link master and the processor.
The memory plug is used where sensor data is to be copied or stored. This could for instance be the case when a defective unit needs to be replaced or several sensors with the same parameter settings are installed.

The stakes in the first presidential debate were high.
With President Obama pulling away in polls in key states, GOP nominee Mitt Romney had to cut a bold figure Wednesday night in Magness Arena in Denver.
And he did, coming off as witty, assertive and confident. After a lengthy and bruising Republican primary campaign, the former Massachusetts governor proved he is up to the task of seriously challenging the Democratic incumbent.
What he didn't do was provide the sort of specifics that would give voters a strong sense of what they'd be getting into if they elected him.
The president, who has had to own the specifics of the policies he has enacted, was better at explaining what the next four years of an Obama administration would look like, but fell short on key issues as well.
As expected, the economy and the nation's debt dominated this debate, which was about domestic issues.
We were glad to see the candidates talk at length about tax reform, but unfortunately platitudes and talking points tended to supplant clear policy direction. Romney's mantra that he would balance the budget via tax rate cuts and spending cuts that would stimulate the economy has been widely criticized by tax policy analysts.
The president took Romney to the mat on that issue. In doing so, Obama wasn't the stylistic orator we've come to know. He stumbled a bit here and there, but he was right on in his criticism of his challenger.
"It's arithmetic," the president said. "You cannot cut taxes by $5 trillion, add $2 trillion to defense spending and not affect the middle class."
The president, however, missed an opportunity to speak to the shared sacrifice needed to take on the nation's $16 trillion debt. He had no response for why he did not support the Simpson-Bowles plan to reduce the federal debt. Romney was right to press him on that count.
It's unfortunate that neither candidate was willing to detail his preferred path to a better fiscal future.
An area in which the candidates differed significantly was on Medicare, the government health insurance program for people 65 and older.
Romney, frankly, did not own the voucher approach that he has championed. Instead, he kept saying Medicare wouldn't change for the people who have it now, and he refused to address how such an approach could undercut the program. That's a shame, since there are voters who believe his plan is a valid path to cut entitlement spending.
Obama was correct in pressing Romney on that point, but came up short in explaining in any detail how he would propose suppressing escalating costs for this program.
We also hoped for more detail on issues such as energy and immigration but were disappointed. Other than taking a swipe at green energy subsidies (Romney) and oil company financial help (Obama), energy got barely any mention at all. Immigration fared worse. It was an important topic that deserved to be discussed.
Nevertheless, with this debate, Romney proved he was up to the job of being president. Now, voters will decide if he should get the job.
The next opportunity for both men to make their cases will come Oct. 16 in a town hall debate at Hofstra University in New York.

Prophet Zephaniah
16. Децембар 2017 - 19:12
The Prophet Zephaniah (Sophonias) was a contemporary of the Prophet Jeremiah and the Prophetess Oldama. He was from the tribe of Simeon, and was the ninth of the Twelve Minor Prophets of the Old Testament. The prophet lived at the royal court, where he preached repentance and helped King Josiah eliminate idol-worship.
He prophesied about the calamities that were to come for the people of Judea and the surrounding regions: Gaza, Ascalon, Crete, and against the Moabites, the Ammonites and the Ninevites.

Out of the weird brain of Brad Neely from Creased Comics, it's probably my favorite YouTube video of all time. He also has a pretty stellar take on JFK. A maximum 10 percent of these presidential videos are based in fact, and that's why they're awesome. [YouTube Creased Comics]

My question is regarding the
Site Map Provider.
I have a breadcrumb in the mysites and I use SPContentMapProvider to build the breadcrumb, but the problem is it always shows
'Home', so if I m on my profile page, it shows home, if I'm on the who is who page it still shows Home.
My ideas is to have a correct breadcrumb so it could show My Profile or Who is who in the breadcrumb. What provider should I use? I tried some but I don't get the correct result, it either it doesn't show anything with the current site map provider, or just shows My Sites and that is it.
Anyone has any idea?
PS I tried MySiteMapProvider, but it returns empty breadcrumb.

MARION COUNTY, Fla. – A deadly fungal meningitis outbreak is now being blamed for claiming the life of a Marion County man. According to the Florida Department of Health, the 70-year-old victim died in July after receiving a steroid shot from Florida Pain Clinic in Ocala.
That death brings the total number of cases in Florida to six. All the Florida cases are from Marion County. The other five patients who are now being treated for fungal meningitis all received their shots from Marion Pain Management Center in Ocala.
Two other facilities in Central Florida also received shipments of the contaminated medication: Surgery Center of Ocala and Orlando Center for Outpatient Surgery in Orlando.
Nationwide, there are now 119 confirmed cases of fungal meningitis, including 11 deaths.
Investigators said as many as 13,000 people may have received the fungus-contaminated steroid shots nationwide, including more than 1,100 people in Florida.
Dr. Stephen Pyles runs Florida Pain Clinic, where the 70-year-old man who died received the medication. Dr. Pyles told WKMG_TV, he's been treating patients for 26 years and has never seen anything like this and is heartbroken.
Doug Koehn, 78, also received a shot of the contaminated steroid from Dr. Pyles.
"It's startling," said Koehn. "It's like saying a bomb blew up in your backyard."
Koehn said he got the startling call from his doctor just days after getting a spinal shot for back pain. Instead of doing what he loves, working in the garden with his dog, Gretchen, he was told to go to the hospital immediately.
"And they took all kinds of blood tests and blood and MRIs and a brain scan," said Koehn.
Koehn was tested for fungal meningitis after being injected with the now recalled steroid. The FDA and CDC said it appears tainted doses of methylprednisolone acetate were made at a compounding pharmacy in Massachusetts. Koehn said compounding pharmacies should have better oversight.
"The FDA and the CDC have no control over what these people do," said Koehn. "I mean as far as they're concerned, they could put milk in a vial and give it to you."
In fact, the pharmacy shipped out some 17,000 vials of the contaminated medication as early as May.
Unlike bacterial or viral meningitis, fungal meningitis is not contagious, but it's extremely deadly and tough to treat.
So far, all of Koehn's tests have come back negative, but he says lesson learned, he won't be getting any more spinal shots and is even leery of vitamins without knowing for sure where they came from.
"It makes you aware of life and how fragile it is," said Koehn.
By now, all patients who received the medication should have been contacted by their doctor. It can take up to four weeks for meningitis symptoms to appear. If patients who received the contaminated medication feel symptoms such as headache, sore neck or feeling nauseous, they should call their doctor immediately.

In amazing news out of Blizzard HQ today, Mages have really got something to look forward to…
- Mages get healing tree
- Frost PvE DPS fixed
- Efforts to reduce Mage v Warlock QQ in forums
Mages get healing tree
In efforts to reduce some of the dual spec QQ from Mages, Blizzard announced today that Mages will gain a healing tree.
Inside sources inform me that with dual specs going live, Mages will be able to swap out the healing tree for tanking and melée/ranges specs as well.
Of course the cries from the Druid forums, while loud, have been overshadowed by the cries from the Hunter forums, quote:
I have always wanted to tame a bear Druid, now I hear that Mages get to do it first. Nerf Mages!
However, the taming of the Druids is not without risk. Apparently Druids have an immunity to every snare that a Mage can throw at them. No matter what happens, the end result is bound to be less Druids.
Frost PvE DPS fixed
Well it appears that Blizzard have been listening to my Frosty colleagues. Frost will soon become the most sought after PvE Raiding Mage spec.
In other related news, Fire is to become the new Mage PvP spec with increased survivability and snares. Arcane will once again be buffed to be the primary utility class, with all DPS spells including the much hated Arcane Missiles being removed.
Inside sources inform me that:
We originally intended to just swap the names of the trees, but apparently Mages have been fooled by that before (changes to icons) and buffs to Arcane Intellect (icons) mean it is unlikely we can do that again.
Efforts to reduce Mage v Warlock QQ in forums
In an act of economic rationalism, blizzard announced today their master plan for reducing developers and forum moderators.
Mages and Locks will be merged come 3.2 reducing balancing issues and forum QQ in one stroke.
The new class, "the Wage", will have all of the shortcomings of both classes (= balance), will require one soulshard for any cast spell, Portals will have a random portal/summon effect. (in testing one Mage actually summoned Dalaran).
It is expected the "the Wage" will devalued compared to other classes, primarily due to the current economic climate.
That's all the news!
Happy April 1st!
Thanks to Matticus for the inspiration!
Gnomer and Out!

In November, 2013, the University and the UAW reached a voluntary agreement to hold an election conducted by the American Arbitration Association so NYU and NYU-Poly graduate employees can decide whether to be represented by the Graduate Student Organizing Committee/UAW and Scientists and Engineers Together/UAW (GSOC/UAW and SET/UAW).
Under terms of the agreement, NYU and the UAW agreed to withdraw their proceedings before the National Labor Relations Board. The University and the UAW also committed to bargain in good faith for a contract upon confirmation of a majority vote by graduate employees for UAW representation in collective bargaining.
The statement outlining the agreement is here.
In December, the graduate assistants and research assistants covered by the agreement voted to affiliate with the UAW. Negotiations for a contract are expected to commence during the spring 2014 semester.
