text: The iPhone 5 clone, which some believe is a carbon copy of the real thing, gets shown off in a new video after first surfacing in photos yesterday. The phone is a knockoff produced with inferior components, but hails from the same town in China where the iPhone 5 is currently under construction. The photos that leaked yesterday were of a black model, while the phone that appears in the video above is the same design but in white. Could this really be what Apple is planning to unveil this Fall?

Following the Knicks-Celtics game during which Kevin Garnett allegedly told Carmelo Anthony that his wife, Lala Vasquez, tasted like "Honey Nut Cheerios," we were sure the former MTV VJ would become the subject of countless Twitter trolling. We also thought a meme involving her and Honey Nut Cheerios would take over Instagram. Neither happened. What we did see, however, was a whole heap of diabolical thirst.

The television personality and wife of the Knicks all-star forward has been subjected to some of the thirstiest cats on the Internets since joining the photo-sharing Thirst-Trap back in March of 2012. And from the looks of it, some of these fellas are either just completely obsessed with married woman, while some just want to disrespect Melo in any way possible. Either way, the thirst continues. Here are The 25 Thirstiest Comments on LaLa's Instagram.

Dixie Chicken has the swinging doors and Texas-style menu you would expect from an Aggie institution. This spot is as real as they come, from the seniors who come in to dunk their school rings in the Aggie tradition to the live rattlesnake mascot, this bar is everything Texas Roadhouse tries to fabricate for the rest of the country. Depending on how discriminating your tastes are, you can opt for Dollar Natty Light drafts or four dollar Shiner: both are great deals, it just depends how bad of a day you had and how little your workstudy pays.

2. Hurricane Sandy

The effects of Hurricane Sandy are still being felt on the East Coast and in the Caribbean, but the memes have continued despite the severity of the natural disaster. Whether appearances from Sandy Olsson or Psy, these memes are some of the funniest of the month no doubt.


text: On today's episode of The Week in Bucket Hats, we're covering the importance of multiple product shots. Most of the time you only get one or two shots of a bucket on a store’s website. That’s probably because, you know, they kind of all look exactly the same—there’s not really a front or back or a snapback to look at per se. BUT THAT DOES NOT MEAN I DON’T WANT 360 DEGREE VIEWS OF SOMETHING I DEFINITELY DON'T NEED THAT I MAY BE SPENDING TOO MUCH MONEY ON ANYWAY. Free/Man got an exclusive from Southern Field Industries on these waxed cotton buckets. Normally, Southern Field Industries items are made to order...IN JAPAN, which means Free/Man got the hook up on these buckets, like that one guy you know who always has concert tickets, an iPhone 7 and some random, too skinny chick in his tricked out Mitsubishi Lancer.

Shia LaBeouf's been making a habit of "borrowing" from other people as of late. Whether it's works of fiction or pre-existing apologies when he's caught lifting from works of fiction, your boy Louis Stevens just can't escape the dreaded "plagiarist" label that's been branded on him. Luckily, when it comes to style, you can substitute "copycat" with being a willing #influencee of that someone else's steez.

One look at Sir LaBeouf's latest public outings leads to a look at his history of public appearances, and after that it's not long until you realize the startling discovery: Shia LaBeouf, in all his grungy, tattered multi-millionaire-but-I-give-a-fuck glory, is nothing but a product of the Olsen twins' influence.

Remember when Mary and Kate used to enjoy trolling everyone by gallivanting around in outfits the Salvation Army would cast a sideye towards? It's clear that Shia does. If you doubt it, click through for 10 Ways the Olsen Twins' Mid-2000s "Homeless Chic" Look Influenced Shia LaBeouf's Style.

Shuttlelift debuts double-beam mobile gantry cranes

In response to a growing need for efficient and cost-effective lifting solutions, Shuttlelift has launched a new series of double-beam models. According to Director of Industrial Sales Kurt Minten, the new DB Series was designed for plant managers searching for more cost-effective ways to run their operations. “Plant managers have a lot of factors to consider when purchasing new equipment. They want something that is easy to maintain and offers versatility in their lifting environment.”

Shuttlelift’s complete line-up features four diverse mobile gantry crane series designed to work in a variety of applications and industries. The DB model is a double-beam mobile gantry crane designed for long-term, heavy-duty cycle work in a moderate terrain environment, making it a strong economical player in the concrete and steel industries. The SL model is designed for lower duty cycle “pick and carry” type jobs. As a single-beam mobile gantry crane, the SB model is designed for single point picks and tandem picking. It works in conjunction with any conventional rubber-tired gantry crane, regardless of brand. Finally, the ISL model is designed for higher-duty cycles; it can handle a variety of load configurations and works well in unimproved terrain environments. A unique feature of this model is the pivot trunnion that allows the crane to flex when traveling over uneven terrain without causing structural damage.

Shuttlelift engineers can propose the ideal lifting solution for customers’ specific needs while factoring in important logistics such as load configurations, duty cycles, yard conditions, and budget. The complete line of industrial mobile gantry cranes offers optional features designed to improve operational safety and increase productivity. A few key options include flexible steering modes, the ability to rotate loads faster and more efficiently, and power management to reduce fuel consumption.   —

Seniors Group Takes Next Step

Seniors Group Takes Next Step

County approves proposal, next event set for Oct. 2 at Great Falls Park.

Seniors observe a presentation on the history of the Dranesville Tavern at the Great Falls Senior Center Without Walls event Tuesday, Sept. 11.

— The Great Falls Senior Center Without Walls held its latest event Tuesday, Sept. 11 and had their proposal approved the same day by the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors. The center seeks to join 13 other facilities in the County that are dedicated to meeting the needs of the senior community.

"Currently there is no ‘brick and mortar’ senior service facility in the area, so the Center Without Walls concept is being designed to provide services for older adults by working with the existing resources in the community," reads a letter sent by the board after the unanimous approval.

From left, Great Falls Seniors Group Chair Bob Lundegard introduces historian Walter Harrison at the Dranesville Tavern Tuesday, Sept. 11.

"The primary focus of the center will be to provide a wealth of activities for older adults in the Great Falls community through a collaborative network of public and private entities," said Supervisor John Foust (D-Dranesville) at the board’s Sept. 1 meeting. "These activities will be created to meet seniors’ cultural and service needs. Programs will encompass a variety of interests, from lectures to exercise classes for the mind and body, and from tours to bridge games."

The Great Falls Center Without Walls would be only the second in the County using the "without walls" concept. The Burke-West Springfield center was founded in 2009 by Corazon Sandoval Foley, who felt the need to bring a senior center to Springfield, which did not have one.

"This meant that seniors were forced to drive to other districts to be part of affordable programs," she said.

Great Falls faces a similar problem, with residents traveling to Reston, Vienna, Herndon, and in some cases even farther, for senior services.

Since there is no formal community center in Great Falls, the center without walls will move from venue to venue each month, using churches and other resources.

The center’s Sept. 11 event was their second, and it took place at Dranesville Tavern, focusing on local history. According to a survey conducted by the seniors group, 45.5 percent of senior respondents said they were interested in educational programming.

"Our top goal is to listen to our audience, and this landmark is so rich with history and significance that we felt we could all learn something new and relevant about our neighborhood," said Bob Lundegard, chair of the seniors group. "We had such an overwhelming response to the July event when we traced the evolution of Great Falls from its origins at Forestville that the Great Falls Historical Society is co-presenting the September event with us. It seemed to be a natural collaboration, considering where we are meeting."

Two presentations, one on the history of the tavern and one about the Battle of Dranesville, took place before lunch, and musician Jerry Stewart performed music and told stories from the Civil War after lunch.

The senior center’s next event will be Oct. 2 at Great Falls Park. It will feature a walking tour and a presentation about the Potomac Canal in the park’s auditorium. The event will be from 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.

Admission to the park is $5, and people over 62 can purchase a lifetime pass for $10. Seating is limited, and seats can be reserved by e-mailing Linda Fernald at

Sound Healing

What is Sound Healing?

Sound has been used in traditional healing practices among cultures throughout time.  The premise of this work is that everything in the universe (including our bodies) is in a state of vibration and we are constantly moving in and out of balance.  Dis-ease occurs from imbalanced energy.  Sound can be used to tune and balance the subtle-energies of the body so that it can heal itself.  This sort of work is a holistic approach to balancing all of the systems of the body: physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual.

Clients have Experienced

Pain Relief .  Stress Relief . Emotional Balance .  Mental Balance . Relaxation . Clarity . Grounding . Integration

What to expect in a session…

Guided by respectful loving intention, each session is uniquely suited to the client’s needs.  I use a combination of Reiki (a hands-on, light- touch healing modality), toning and instruments.

In your session you might hear voice, Crystal and Tibetan singing bowls, drums, rattles, tuning forks, gongs….

Please wear comfortable clothes.

Sliding Scale

“I arrived expecting to become more emotionally, physically and energetically balanced; what I experienced was an amazing journey which answered core questions my subconscious had been asking about for years.  This resulted in healing not just “balancing” my mind, body and soul.” – Bristy

“I feel lighter, clearer, brighter, more relaxed.  I could feel my body gently release some of the “stuff” I’ve been carrying around for years.  I feel uplifted and more balanced.  Thank You!” – Linda

“Words cannot adequately describe such an exquisite happening!  I was totally relaxed & energized at the same time.  I experience deep peace which enables me to be a blessing in my world.”  - Maura

Attending a session of Janiece Jaffe's sound healing bowls allows me to be enveloped in a cocoon of healing sound waves as the tones massage my often frazzled aura. The pure vibration of the bowls and Janiece's magical voice are a sure path to re-balancing and re-energizing myself. I always leave the meeting feeling restored, refreshed, and rejuvenated. -Paula Bates, M.S., LMHC

Janiece is a member of NESHRI, The World Sound Healing Organization and The Sound Healers Association.
he has recorded three CDs for stress relief and meditation:
 The Lotus and the Rose , Heartones and Fire in the Lotus.

    Just finished watching the conference. They are adamant that the document is indeed a forgery. No mention of who that forger might be. It still comes down to seeing the “microfilm” which would put an end to the whole thing, but for some reason is being denied the investigative group. We know that there probably isn’t any. The Sheriff would like Congress to pick up on this from here, but we all know they don’t want to touch it even though they all know the guy is illegal. I was a bit disappointed that they didn’t get a forger.

  2. It seems every single document Obama has is questionable. If it was one document, I’d say, “OK, there was probably a clerical error there.” But birth certificate, selective service, AND social security?

Control in the Field Does Make Business Sense

By Andrew Bond, Industrial Automation Insider

Mar 16, 2010

"The Business Value Proposition of Control in the Field” is the title of a new white paper from ARC which was presented by the Fieldbus Foundation at the recent SPS/IPC/DRIVES exhibition in Nuremberg, Germany. Control in the Field (CIF), based on function blocks which can reside either in a DCS, in field devices or both, is the key differentiator between Foundation fieldbus and the other two most popular process fieldbuses, Profibus PA and HART. However, while Foundation fieldbus adoption has, in ARC’s words, "skyrocketed" in recent years, CIF remains a comparative rarity.

Surprisingly, perhaps, most users adopt Foundation fieldbus for the same diagnostic and asset management capabilities which they could find equally well in Profibus PA or HART, rather than for its CIF capabilities. The latter are apparently still regarded with suspicion as potentially compromising reliability and availability, while offering little economic or business advantage. The purpose of the white paper is to demonstrate that the direct opposite is in fact the case. CIF can in fact provide higher levels of integrity and superior performance while reducing both capital and operational costs.

Much of the argument in favour of CIF is based on work performed by Glasgow, U.K.- based Industrial Systems & Control (ISC) on behalf of the Applied Control Technology Consortium (ACTC). ISC's study focused on performance benefits, however, and the aim of the white paper is to translate that and the work of other groups, such as Shell Global Solutions International (SGSI,) into a business value proposition.

A number of possible scenarios are considered ranging from what might be called pure or 'ideal' CIF to the use of CIF as a back up to the DCS. As well as performance advantages achieved as a result of reduced communications loading and latency, CIF could, in some cases, provide a lower cost alternative to a conventional safety system. The white paper also identifies potential opportunities for reductions in installed cost as a result of reduced hardware requirements and in operational costs as a result of improved reliability and availability through a claimed 80% improvement in MTBF compared with conventional DCS control. In addition, while Foundation fieldbus has built its main power base in the refining and petrochem industries, a number of other application areas, including pulp and paper, power generation, combustion control and compressor control are identified where CIF could offer significant business benefits.

ARC concludes that CIF is capable of providing performance benefits for most regulatory control loops for pressure and flow applications and that embedding control functionality in field devices can be a key enabler for high-availability control and provide a stepping stone towards achieving the holy grail of single-loop integrity. And it adds that those who have adopted CIF have already demonstrated how unplanned downtime can be avoided by allowing field level control to take over when other elements of the control system have failed. The complete white paper can be downloaded from the Foundation web site at

Forrester Research Shows Companies Must Crack Social Customer Service in Order to Survive

Mike Schneider
By Mike Schneider on Jul 1, 2014 9:02:00 AM

Conversocial recently commissioned a study with Forrester that reveals a lack of ownership and understanding of social media within organizations that could see brands fall behind in the overall customer service stakes. Over half (67%) of companies interviewed believe that social customer service is growing in importance and is the most pressing short-term priority for contact centers in the US and UK.  However, only 33% of the social customer service solutions being used by those interviewed were actually selected by the customer service team, with the rest being obtained solely for marketing purposes.

Today’s social media users are more demanding than ever of the brands they know and love when it comes to customer service over channels such as Facebook and Twitter. As the social landscape evolves, customers are moving away from traditional communications methods such as email and phone, and expecting more from the conversations they are having on social networks. However, the power struggle between the marketing and customer service departments means that there is currently a disconnect: businesses are failing to put the right technology in place to support the complex needs of social customer service. Here’s what the social customer landscape currently looks like:

  • Between 2009 and 2012 the number of customers using Twitter for customer service has doubled to 22%
  • However, people still rate their experiences via phone, websites, emails, IM/ SMS over using social channels such as Twitter and Facebook as a result of poor social media management
  • People are more satisfied with their experiences on the phone, via email, or even going to the FAQ section of a brand’s website than through Twitter or Facebook
  • 35% of social customer service agents have to restart the conversation with a customer for every single interaction because they don’t have a record of conversation history
"Businesses need to realise that social doesn’t just sit with your marketing team anymore. Social media is a primary customer service channel alongside email, phone and chat", said Conversocial CEO and Founder Joshua March. "Our platform alone handles more than 200 requests per minute and 275,000 requests a day, so brands cannot neglect these channels. We believe that marketing and customer service departments should work more closely."

Pat "The Rat"Halley passes away
The Great Troubadour of the Corridor
11/19/07 - Peter Werbe writes:
This may be the first some of you have heard of the passing of Pat Halley. Despondent over the recent death of his son and other problems facing him, he took his own life a few days ago. It was all quite a shock to us. A memorial is planned sometime after this week; I'll let everyone know.

Pat's most famous act--the pieing of the boy god--is reported in the two links below. Following his essentially harmless blast at the guru, that was reported worldwide, Pat was physically attacked by guru goons, and almost died. He sustained a massive head injury and had to have a plate put in his head as a result.
If you have specific memories of Pat, please communicate with David who will write the obituary for the Fifth Estate as indicated below.

David Watson wrote:

I would like to get any info you can remember (including dates--or years) of things Pat accomplished. Also memories. Thanks,

I wanted to propose two needed articles for the next FE, both obituaries of old comrades of ours. One is Jim Campbell, a good friend and @ comrade in Toronto (and for many years the editor of Bulldozer, a prisoner/political prisoner-support newsletter, which took as its motto "the only vehicle for prison reform").

The other is very important--our friend Pat "the Rat" Halley, who worked on the FE for many years, and ran a zany, radical working class theater of cruelty, the Freezer Theater (where one could go an a Saturday night and see, for example, the Marquis de Sade doing slam-down wrestling with a very large and hairy nun). Back in the 1970s, he also pied an infamous Indian guru who claimed to be God just after he was given the key to the City of Detroit--made national news, and then the guru's followers nearly killed him. Although he has lived in obscurity (and penury) for some time now, he is a big part of Detroit alternative/radical/anarchist history.

I sent this on to David, and will post it here too:

Pat was an ordained minister and in 1970, officiated at my wedding, held in rural Macomb County. I knew Pat from the Fifth Estate/Open City days, and the pie incident as well.

I've followed his career since then, and had occasion to visit him while on several trips back to Detroit.

I'm deeply shocked and saddened by his passing, Pat was one of a kind, and will always remain one of the few people from those days that I consider family.

Rest well my friend.

Pat, Joe and I shared a house on McLean in HP...
1979?....we performed as Primitive Lust Theater,
for free school benefit and traveled to Chicago's
revolutionary community for performances. I always referred to him a Dynamite Pat Hally. I last saw him
pryor to my geographic cure in 1988, as a hack, driving out of the lot of metro cab on Vernor Hway,
alway a true brother.

Pat Haley was the driving force behind the Freezer Theatre - the original theatre was located on 2nd or 3rd Street (my memory fails me) next to a liquor store. The first theatre was a small, dank, dark place that had been used as a freezer for the store (thus the name). At some point, the theatre moved onto Cass Ave. Pat Haley wrote most of the plays, but other talented people contributed plays and skits. Probably the most famous production was a satire on the Jonestown mass suicide (when Jim Jones, and followers of his religion committed suicide - or were forced to kill themselves - by drinking poisoned kool aid) At the end of the performance, we offered kool aid to theaudience, but few availed themselves of the free refreshment. Another great piece was the one in which Pat led the audience through the alleys of the Corridor, with actors popping out from behind trees and trash Dbins.

Pat, thanks for your work in Detroit's contribution to the counter-culture. Like Plum Street, you are now a treasured memory!

As quoted by Sylvia Inwood: Pat just poured his heart out to me about his daughter Celeste (full name, Celestial Joy), who was born to Dollye Sue in March 1970. He related that Dollye and her 2nd husband, local artist Richard Dorris, an old high school friend of Pat's, had turned Celeste against him "because I'm a bum".

I just want to make a correction here; My mother, Dollye, and Stepfather, Richard Dorris (whom I've always called "Dad" since I was the age of 10), never attempted to "turn" me against my own father. As a matter-of-fact, Dollye never said a bad thing about Pat until I had my own bad experience with him in 1982 (I was 12 at the time)...I had been on a trip in the U.P. in MI with Pat & friends, and we had a father/daughter falling-out you could say...I returned home to my mother asking questions I had never asked before...It wasn't until then that my mother volunteered any good, bad, or otherwise info. regarding Pat.

The relationship I had with my father wasn't the typical father/daughter kind...He was always my "buddy" "clown" "bear"...If I asked to try one of his stinky cigars found in his glove box, I wasn't scolded...He allowed me to find out for myself that smoking it wasn't going to be fun...My father was a free-spirit and he allowed me to be the same...I always knew he loved me...but in adolescence, and child doesn't need a poet, anarchist, or radical for a father...they merely need a "Dad".

Pat left behind five beautiful grandchildren...I think that's quite an accomplishment in itself...They will someday get to know about their famouse pie thrower/brilliant writer, "Papa Bear"...Nothing but good words will be spoken of him...I have stowed away his well-used hockey equipment, and practically antique harmonicas (my youngest, Justin plays his own) for the kids to have someday...I've taken in my possession a few of his favorite books, including Walt Whitman & Oscar Wilde...His music & movie collection, I've already started to clean and restore to better condition...His prayer beads are within easy reach for times when I need strength...So rest easy folks...I've never turned against my father...I've always loved him...I've merely did a good job of hiding it for a while...which is a trait, among many, that I've inherited from my dear old Pat The Rat....Love & Light, Celeste Joy Halley-Finley.

I lived above Pat for three months this year. I had just gotten out of my marriage and needed a crash pad right quick. My friend Dave Koukal made contact with the landlord and within a day, I was in. I remember Pat meeting me in the foyer and offering me a couch that he had commandeered from some crazy broad who had been living with him. We pushed the thing up the stairs and into the apartment. I think it's the best piece of furniture I've ever had to pleasure of sitting on. At night, as the radiators popped, I sat in the dark listening to Sonny Clark and Pat downstairs getting ready to drive his cab on the midnight shift. In a way, that job was the ultimate performance art for Pat - a bad-ass demonstration of his dedication to the city and to living outside and against the strictures of polite society. I always loved coming home in the morning after a night of wildcatting and seeing Pat's cab parked out front. The minute I walked into the foyer, I could smell one of those crazy skillet breakfasts he delighted in cooking up. Fox News was on full blast and Pat would be at the stove, foul cigar atilt, tending to his cast iron paradise.

Pat showed me the upmost kindness and civility during my all-too-brief time with him. If I hadn't had a money crunch, I would have stayed in that apartment, enjoying the presence of Pat downstairs. And I do feel a certain regret and guilt, knowing that I had the potential to be the most physically close person to Pat when the clouds rolled in and he really needed a harbour from his storms.

I guess I am too far away from my roots. I just read the news about Pat today (08-19-2008). I often wondered what became of him but never made the effort to reconnect.

We were room-mates on Forest in 1969 (along with Jim Caffrey). His bizzare view of the world (being chased by the Ho-Ho Rat, shooting the landlord with a bb gun, peyote movie night and teaching the cat to roll a joint) made life interesting.

I met my wife, Jackie, while I was ushering at his wedding to Dollye. The combination of Pat and Mike Inwood made Open City a bit like something out of a surrealist painting. Sometimes much to the chagrin of John Martin.

When it all became too much, Jackie and I moved to Troy. Dollye and Richard were right across the street. Pat came to visit, but the visits became almost non-existent after the Maharishi incident.

As some others have said, he changed then. However, I will choose to remember the Pat that always smiled, encouraged me to rail against the status quo and wrote poetry in jelly on the kitchen wall.

Hi I just came across this posting and thought I'd add something small, but neat I seen Pat after the pie incident and asked him about it and he said to me a lot of people are saying this is God and that is God but this Guy said he was God, and I always wanted to hit God in the face with a pie.

I remember Pat from the time of the attack. I believe he was with The Shadow People street theater. In that group was Dwight Grimmett, Jeanie Mueller, Pat, and maybe someone else. I remember they made up a list of non negotiable demands (like repealing the law of gravity) of the Guru/con man. I remember he took pains not to hurt the kid.

After the attack, Pat was a changed person. Who could blame him.

Our activities were centered on Prentis street, then later on Avery in the old Boones Farm Commune house. Pat, you were a funny friendly guy. Sad you had to hasten your departure from this reality.

BTW, Pat, if you run across Dwight, tell him he owes me a ten spot.

Youth Wrestling team ends season

Coach praises wrestlers for their hard work and dedication

Wrapping up their season in style, the Mancos Youth Wrestling team produced solid results at their final tournament of the year.

Competing at the Rocky Mountain Nationals Aztec Warrior, which was held in Farmington, April 25-26, several members of the team performed well.

As a team, Mancos finished second overall in the tournament, which featured teams from throughout the Four Corners area.

Top placers for Mancos included Ayden Mathews, Chase Moore and Erik Wyman, who placed second overall in their respective divisions.

Placing third overall for Mancos was Breccan Morelli, while Traycer White, Levi Martin, Kail Waymon, Ty Everett and Luika Cova took fourth.

Rounding out the Mancos placers, Chistian Cova, Tristan Jones and Colt Futy took fifth.

Several Mancos wrestlers also enjoyed success in event's freestyle tournament. Chase Mathews took first overall, while Mathews and Wyman each took second. Everett finished fourth overall.

"The tournament was a great success and really gave everyone an opportunity to see where they stack up on the larger seen," wrote Mancos Youth Wrestling head coach Alan Mathews. "We had kids beat nationally ranked kids this weekend."

Clearly pleased with his team's performance over the course of the season, Mathews praised his wrestlers for their hard work and dedication.

"Each wrestler in the program made great strides this season as individuals and as wrestlers," wrote Matthews. "Our program has so much to be proud of."

With the youth season now complete, Mathews is hopeful that team members will continue working hard in anticipation of next year.

"It's an ongoing process, but it is safe to say that wrestling in Mancos is on the rise," wrote Mathews. "The sky is the limit for these young athletes."

NOTE: This topic was originally posted elsewhere and I was told to re-post it here. Original thread: http://www.cosplay.com/showthread.php?t=298386

So I am about to get serious about putting together a medieval outfit, and from my name, you can guess my style is more of a stealthy outlook on the whole thing. Green undergarments with dark brown to black leather pieces...

I'm skipping to the point much too quickly. I'm still not sure exactly what this site specializes in, and due to the original settings and layout, I'm not sure what to expect. It doesn't seem to be the medieval crowd in here, but my chances aren't going to be hurt by trying to see how you folks are.

So now that you know what I expect to make/build, and my uncertainty of this website, I'll add a third factor in any possible responses you might have for me. Any good (meaning quality, yet relatively inexpensive) sites selling leather pieces are welcome. My best friend once showed me a site a long time ago with great assortments of pieces, and many of them. But I cannot find that website, or any others like it. Basic leather chestpieces, gaunlets, bracers, and shoulderpieces are all in the question. Possibly greaves, and most likely boots.

I hope that provides enough details about my situation and what I'm looking for, but I'll provide a few pictures as well for examples:

This one is very close:

08-07-2012, 04:47 PM
So, in short, purple makes you nervous and you're crippled by dread of being misunderstood and you're looking for a supplier of finished mostly-medieval leather pieces?

Gotcha covered:

I found these by googling "leather pauldrons buy". Swap out "pauldrons" for a similar armor-specific word and see what else turns up.

View Full Version : might as well, My Nuriko Costume

06-10-2004, 05:18 PM
well, i had been being nervous and too insecure to post this, but i think really it would be a good idea to get opinions and advice. I think i will make another Nuriko costume at some point, likely another obscure but popular artbook image like the one of him in his armor. We'll see ^_^

This is the costume i was making:

So i had to style my first wig and work on it as i had time and money. I think it was a 9 month process. so here are links to the actual costume, the not so finished outdoors ones posted first:
Nuriko 1 (http://images.cosplay.com/showphoto.php?photo=133435&password=56dc289b98f9f3f49c5dd171ea30db92&sort=1&cat=500&page=1)

Nuriko 3 (http://images.cosplay.com/showphoto.php?photo=135293&password=56dc289b98f9f3f49c5dd171ea30db92&sort=1&cat=500&page=2)

06-10-2004, 06:11 PM
It's a really well made costume, I'll say. o^.^o There are a few things that, if you don't mind me pointing out to you, could help to make the costume even better and more accurate.

First I don't believe Nuriko's sleeves are see-through like yours are. I like the look of it a lot, but to be a little more accurate you'd have to make the sleeves out of a different material. Also the wig is a little too bright for Nuriko's color and could probably use some bangs too. You, however, did a very good job with styling it. It's so hard to find the perfect wig... -_-

To end with a good note, I really love the way you made this costume. It looks like one dress, unlike some of the others I've seen who you can tell it's not one dress. Very nice work! ^-^ I can't wait to see your other Nuriko cosplay!

06-11-2004, 07:39 PM
Personally I would have gone for something a little less orange and little more pink for the skirt, but color intepretation is always a strange thing with costumes.

My only big suggestions are wear-wise rather than costume wise; I'd try binding, since Nuriko IS technically supposed to be a guy. I would also suggest going a little overboard on the makeup. It's usually a good idea with any anime character, but particularly so with a drag queen like Nuriko.

06-12-2004, 05:14 AM
Nice work... way to go on making the trim! Did you do it yourself? I had a pain of a time finding trim for mine. My only comments are relatively small. I think the tension on your machine is off, because you're getting ripply seams, particularly on your purple shirt. It might be fixed if you pressed it.

06-12-2004, 08:13 AM
I like it alot! (and as a huge Nuriko fangirl, I tend to be rather picky) I do agree with afew of the suggestions given above, especially about the skirt color, but other than that, great job, the wig is especially well done!!

06-14-2004, 06:45 AM
Thank you all muchly for the comments! Very helpful!

Wig bangs? good point, i made mine a bit too long and stylized, i do need to shorten up parts, thanks for noticing, cause i hadn't! ^_^ The sleeves, i know they aren't transparent, that was just a personal choice when fabric shopping ^^; Though i may well switch it to a more opaque one, as i lake a serger and even with various ways of sewing chiffon without one, the seems are still trying to run. Plus, in the long run it would be more accurate, as you stated, and not there solely to please my aesthetic.

I had contemplated binding, but since the amount of bandages required for me to get any semblance of flat makes my chest feel like it's bleeding(on the inside) i chose not to since this is one of his female outfits. However i agree that they should be flatter, so i will double bra it next time, and that will hopefully do the trick. I agree on the makeup too.

Yes, i had to hand paint the trim, i looked into buying for a long time, but then i whipped out my acrylics and attacked a ribbon ^^ You're are probably very correct on the tension thought. Hopefully when I get my own machine this won't be as much an issue. But thank you for suggestion on how to alleviate some of the problem!

Oh yes, and the skirt, it seems it is loved or hated^_^ I was actually rather shocked and disgusted by how difficult it was to find any kind of orange fabric. I found this on a discount post-Halloween sale shelf. And though i had vowed never to use lame, i fell in love with it, and there could be no other orange. I agree, it's too yellow of an orange, but i couldn't help myself, sorry!

Thank you all for the help! wonderful suggestions! you know how it is, you make a costume and then you often have trouble really "looking" at it and you miss important things. Thank you again for your help! This costume i am sure will continue to get better.

06-14-2004, 10:09 AM
First off, Miaka2u.. you said a lot of cosplayers you can tell it's more than one piece... but it is. It's one outfit, but several pieces.

To the person who commented on wig color. Unfortunately, there are only about 2 purples for wigs I've seen that anywhere near approach Nuriko's color.. The less neon one may have fit a bit better, but it's a bit dark. The hair's nearly impossible to do on your own and I don't think I've seen a dye to match the color so I think all in all I'd say the wig is alright..

To hyperrrmouse. It's a gorgeous costume. Really well made it would seem. The shirt might need to be pressed but that's not a big problem. The skirt color, as said before is a bit off. My biggest thoughts were the skirt's material was a little shiny... and you might want to go with a bit more makeup. You need a bit more for the camera anyhow.

The obi is gorgeous and I think you did catch the essence of the outfit.

I actually kinda like the sleeves as they are. Excellent costume

My Nuriko dress is jealous.

Admiral Kizaru 'Borsalino'

One Piece

Last Updated: 12-28-2011

I actually had a hand in making all 3 admirals from One Piece. I had decided I wanted to make Kizaru and Akainu's suits because it was something I've never made before. It was a learning process and why I put that they're 90% done. I have several things I want to fix about this cosplay for it to be complete in my eyes and worn again for better pics. I apologize ahead of time for my terrible wig. I think it would be better if I buzzed off all my hair and dyed it black.

"The Last Unicorn" (its been forever since I read some of these books, I can't remember names right now ^_^;; )

Or going Arthurian legend style with a character from "The Mists of Avalon". It would be hard to narrow it down, character-wise in that book.
*proposes* Be my Crowley? XD And DUDE! Issac Asivmov cosplay! I want to do something from one of his short stories, but can't decide what.

The Dragonriders seem to be really popular: maybe a group should be put together for on of the bigger cons next year?

Last Unicorn cosplay from the book would be AMAZING, though I personally love the designs in the movie best. However, they had a lot of cool lines in the book that the movie didn't have.

And I would love to see someone do something from the Young Merlin series Arthur is great too, though I'm more of a Robin Hood girl myself (Will Scarlet, I love you, even if you don't get much attention in the stories). However, if someone did Young Merlin, I would flip. They had so many interesting character in that...

You can find a few fanarts and such around the net -I know one person who used to do some stuff, but she's been pretty silent for the last year or three ;_;-, but not nearly enough for such a worthy series. I still haven't read the last book though. It's not in our library(s) and not available at our bookstore, but then, I live in a small town so thats not saying much. I'll have to order it online when I get the money. We should get a DGC cosplay group together somehow. They all have unique character designs and outfits that would be so much fun to do, especially with the Patryn/Sartan hair.... */ends rant*

Love your Elf Quest icon, by the way
I live my life by two basic, fundamental rules:
1.) Never get involved in a land war in Asia
2.) Never go in against the Sicilian when death is on the line.

They have served me well.

Very easy to pitch in all weathers and the heavyweight groundsheet is truly waterproof.
Durable and the long history of the design means that it is also easy to get replacement parts if something does go wrong.
The weight means that this would not be my first choice for backpacking.

Make It So, Picard

A good friend of mine is a Star Trek fan*. I put an asterisk there because Â he is completely in love SPECIFICALLY with Star Trek: The Next Generation. In fact, I posted the following video on Tumblr Trends (see video below) and he responded with the following:

“At least he likes Capt. Picard…. I’m tired of all the Kirk-fanatics out there! Picard is the better captain, get over it!”

HAH! That made my day.

Here’s the video that sparked the outrage:

And that brings us to the newest shirt from our friends from Seattle, Might Tees! They’ve deviated a little from their Apple/Tech related tees, and instead venture into the outer galaxies of geekdom. The T-Shirt is called Make It So and it features my friends ALL TIME FAVORITE Star Trek captain, Jean-Luc Picard.

I asked my friend if he’d allow Captain Picard to penetrate him, you know, in a jail bait rape kind of way. He’s response: “lol.” He never gave me an affirmative no. Star Trek fans are hard core.

Make It So is available now from Might Tees for $31.99.

Concert news: Marilyn Manson, Lower Dens, The-Dream, Van Hunt, Lands & Peoples, Raekwon

The Baltimore Sun

A couple of Baltimore bands are on the verge of releasing new albums.

Lower Dens will soon release "Nootropics" and is going on the road later this month to promote it. They'll be at the Ottobar May 5 and Washington's Rock 'n' Roll Hotel the day before.

The album's first single, "Brains," was released in January. Ticket information is not yet available. Upstarts Lands & Peoples, another band that has changed line-ups (it's now recording as a duo), is getting ready to release its first full-length album, "Pop Guilt." To promote it, the band will be at Baltimore's Soft House March 9. Tickets, at $5, are sold at the door.

Sonar quietly posted a Raekwon show this week. The Wu-Tang member is on his "Unexpected Victory" tour promoting last year's "Shaolin vs. Wu-Tang."

He's supposed to release "Wu-Block," a collaboration with Ghostface Killah, Cappadonna and The L.O.X., at some point. Raekwon performed in Baltimore last summer at Dubai. Tickets, at $20, are already on sale.

Also performing in Baltimore is Van Hunt. The Grammy Award winner, who is releasing his first live album in March, will perform at Baltimore Soundstage March 28. The album, titled "Live at the Troubadour," is set for March 13 and includes popular tracks like "Seconds of Pleasure." Tickets, at $17, are already on sale.

Also at Soundstage: the great neo-soul artist Mashell Ndegeocello on July 5. Ndegeocello released her last album, "Weather," last year. Tickets for the show, at $25, are already on sale. (Post incorrectly listed a later date for this show).

The-Dream has two regional shows coming up: he'll be at the Fillmore Silver Spring March 17 and Soundtage March 18.

The "Single Ladies (Put a Ring On It)" songwriter is promoting a new album, "The Love IV: Diary of a Madman." Tickets for the Soundstage show start at $25 and are already on sale; Fillmore tickets cost the same and go on sale Friday.

Marilyn Manson is still a thing apparently. He'll be at the Fillmore May 1. The 90s rock musician is promoting his new album, "Born Villain." Tickets, starting at $49.50, go on sale Friday. The openers? The band led by Gossip Girl's Taylor Momsen, the Pretty Reckless, who'll incidentally be at the Ottobar April 15. Tickets for that show cost $15 and are already on sale.

Antiques not the only attraction at Renninger's in Mount Dora

Postcards from Florida

When I told my friends that I went antiquing last weekend, there wasn't a one of them that didn't arch an eyebrow.

They don't see antiques coming from me.

And, yes, I have been to the mammoth Renninger's Antique and Collectors Extravaganza only a handful of times in my life. And, yes, in each of those instances, there was a lady involved. Even if you don't leave with a vehicle laden with vintage armoires, I highly recommend the Renninger's road trip as a lovely social opportunity, if nothing else.

If you know something about antiques, you can impress with an eye for a value. If you don't, as in the case of yours truly, you can at least amuse with well-meaning, but clueless observations.

On one long-ago trip, I happened on a vendor selling vintage posters for the so-bad-it's-good 1962 B-movie Safe at Home!, a . flick starring New York Yankees Mickey Mantle and Roger Maris as cardboard-stiff versions of themselves. It was filmed in Fort Lauderdale, near my home town, so I asked the guy how much a poster would cost.

When he told me, "Five," I told him confidently, "I'll take two." He then explained that it was $500, and gave the woman I was with something to laugh about for the rest of the day.

Good times.

I made the trek again this past weekend, with a companion searching for an antique chandelier. It was a lovely day for strolling the 800 or so booths on Renninger's 115-acre site, on U.S. Highway 441, less than a mile north of State Road 46 in Mount Dora. For details, call 352-383-8393.

The Extravaganzas, which draw vendors and shoppers from around the world, take place three times a year. In addition to the January event, there's another one slated for Feb. 19-21, and a third planned for November. The other months feature smaller Antique Fairs, featuring the wares of Renninger's 200 permanent dealers.

While my friend searched, I was happily distracted by the array of trinkets: a Roy Rogers button ($18); Kentucky Derby glasses ($3 each); oodles of old-fashioned postcards. Later, I was enlisted to carry a fixer-upper iron chandelier, the day's big bargain at $25.

Samantha Logan, '666 Park Avenue'

With big name stars like Vanessa Williams and Terry O'Quinn headlining ABC's "666 Park Avenue," it might be easy for a newbie to get lost in the shuffle, but Samantha Logan, in her first significant TV role, is not easily forgotten. She stars as the haunting Nona, a young teenager with sticky fingers ... and an unsettling ability. Fun fact? Logan attends LaGuardia High School, better known as the "Fame" school. Tune in on Sunday, Sept. 30 at 10 p.m. ET to see her put that education to good use. -- Carina Adly MacKenzie, Zap2it

Bob Dylan's many Guises Look Good in 'I'm Not There'

"I'm Not There" isn't a Bob Dylan biography. It's a fantasia on the many guises of this folk-rock shaman, changeling, hustler and icon. But as such, it plumbs this pop changeling's psyche as no mere biography could. Todd Haynes' endlessly over-inventive film dons its Dylans the way the former Robert Zimmerman has donned his many disguises — with insolence, insouciance and a cryptic wink at a world ready to be put on.

Half a dozen actors play Dylan at various points in his life, not one going by the name "Bob Dylan." Cate Blanchett is a '60s rebel biker, turning his (her) back on folk and protest music, plugging in, hopping on a motorcycle and crashing.

It's one of the conceits of Haynes' film that he takes each Dylan through to some sort of logical conclusion in his life. That Dylan would have become a James Dean cult figure, dying young and forever beautiful.

Christian Bale is the rising star of the folk scene, the one who used Joan Baez, given another name here and played by Julianne Moore in one of the many "interviews" in the film.

Tiny Marcus Carl Franklin is the youngest Dylan, adorably engaging, hopping freight trains, regaling hobos (at age 11) with tales of life on the rails as folk singer Woody Guthrie. It's not lying. It's self-invention.

Ben Whishaw is the young poet, passing himself off as Rimbaud to an inquisition of academics and intellectuals.

Heath Ledger is the matinee idol Dylan who might have pursued a movie career.

And Richard Gere is the "Billy the Kid" Dylan once played on the screen, a recluse hiding in plain sight, leaving behind a world that changed around him.

Haynes and co-writer Oren Moverman build the script around Dylan's own words, from testy, challenging interviews, and the too-revealing documentary "Don't Look Back" (a confrontational British concert tour, filmed and re-created with Blanchett in black-and-white).

"I didn't come out of a cereal box," the post-Elvis, pre-Beatles Vietnam War icon says.

Do you have a message? A cranky British journalist demands.

"Do you?"

You have to know at least some of the story to figure out who the players are and which setting we're in. But Haynes isn't going for the literal here, not for a minute. This is an impressionistic comic book of Dylan's life, his flings, first marriage, Pentecostal conversion and cultivated air of mystery.

The one man to maybe unmask him, the "Pat Garrett" who trapped this "Billy the Kid"? That would be the British journalist who got his goat during that "Don't Look Back" tour, played here by Bruce Greenwood. He also turns up as Pat Garrett, famous lawman and captor of Billy the Kid.

It doesn't all work and it runs too long. But every fragment of Dylan's life, every version of him, from the funny to the tippy, rings true.

And if the real Dylan can boast "I'm not there" at the end of "I'm Not There," maybe that's because we've never been able to figure him out while he was "here." It's only later, after he's moved on, that any of his myriad guises seems like the put-on it is.

Get showtimes and movie details for "I'm Not There."

Street Outreach

Young people who are tossed aside by their families, who run away because of abuse, or who end up on the street because of addiction or mental health issues have an incredibly hard time trusting that there are people who just want to help.

Covenant House's Street Outreach team helps kids aged 16 to 24 who are living, or at risk of living, on Vancouver's streets.

Thanks to  volunteers and donors, our Street Outreach team is able to be out helping youth on the street five days a week.
Outreach staff with youth on the street

Building Trust

Finding kids  in crisis, the team builds trusting relationships with street youth by meeting them where they are and by being a consistent, supportive  presence in their lives. Travelling on foot, we offer food, counselling, minor medical attention and friendship, and we invite them to come to our  Drop-In  program for a hot meal or help getting back on their feet.  Street life is brutally dangerous for vulnerable youth, and when we find kids in crisis, our team is trained to connect them with psychiatrists, medical professionals and social workers, or to bring them to our  Crisis Program   for safety and support.

Being Proactive

Because we are able to be out so often, we can spot the new faces. We proactively reach out to newcomers. Some arrive homeless, while some live in substandard housing (such as crashing in single-room occupancy hotels or couch surfing)but all hang out on the streets and are at risk.

We work closely with other service providers to keep track of new youth and underage youth (19 and younger), who are especially vulnerable and could access government assistance with someone's help.

It's a tragedy that many young people run away from home, thinking “it can’t get any worse.” All too soon they learn it can. The Street Outreach team makes sure kids know they aren't alone and that there are trustworthy people who want to help.

"Covenant House is a helping hand for all the kids who need it. They really go out of their way to help. They're real people, not phonies." - Sara, 18

Angel Food Ministry suspends deliveries

MONROE - Monroe-based nonprofit Angel Food Ministries says it's suspending food distribution for the month of September.

The organization said Wednesday it has laid off its full-time staff in Monroe, although many are remaining on a volunteer basis.

Angel Food Ministries blames the economy, rising food and fuel prices, declining sales and operational costs for the moves.

The organization works through a network of churches and community organizations across the U.S. Food boxes are sold for up to half off what a customer might pay in retail stores.

Angel Food Ministries says it expects to resume food distribution soon and is looking at ways to reorganize.

Need help for HTML Codes

Hi im about to begin a self study about HTML Codes. I want to learn where to create it and what file type should I use. Should I use notepad?

Also i want to create my own website with my own autobiography XD

Can someone give ma an example of HTML Code using his/her autobiography?

Thanks ^_^
This forum is a cpp forum. While many here may program in html and may be able to give you advice, it's like moving to china to learn english.

Basically any text editor will allow you to write .html files, all you need to do is save the file as .html. However there are programs which have lots of coding support such as highlighted tags, numbered lines, etc etc. One of these programs would be notepad++ (free).

Faux Tin Tiles

By  Suzy Myers

size: 18"x24"

  • Faux Tin Tiles

  • Disposable aluminum cookie sheets, two
  • Framed cork bulletin board, 18”x24”
  • Metal thumb tacks

  • Knitting needle
  • Metallic paints: gold, blue, copper
  • Spray primer

Basic Supplies

  • paintbrush, ruler, scissors, towel, newspaper (to cover work surface)

Pattern - Faux Tin Tiles

  • 1. Measure and cut six 7" squares from cookie sheets. Use ruler to measure and mark cookie sheet by pressing knitting needle along ruler. Cut out with scissors. Take ruler and score 1/4" from all four sides of each square using knitting needle.
  • 2. Use scissors to cut notch in each corner. Fold metal over carefully along scored seam. (Note: This will create a smooth finished edge for each tile.) Tiles should now measure 6-1/2"x6-1/2".
  • 3. Print out patterns. Position pattern over metal square. Place metal square on top of folded towel. Use knitting needle to lightly press design into metal.
  • 4. Keeping tile on folded towel, use end of paintbrush handle to gently rub indentations into metal for raised and depressed areas. (Note: The more you rub, the deeper the indentation can be, so be careful to not use a ton of force as the aluminum is very thin metal.)
  • 5. On covered work surface, lightly spray each square with primer. Once dry, paint indented areas using blue, gold, and copper metallic paints. Refer to photo. Once indentions are painted, add base color to raised areas. Water down metallic black paint; add detail lines on edges of indentations for antiqued look. Let dry.
  • 6. Display faux tiles as desired. Or use thumbtacks to tack tiles on framed corkboard.
  • Tip
  • 1. Some other examples for displaying your tiles include a backsplash in the kitchen, risers on a stairway, headboard of a bed, or as a table top. The possibilities are endless!

Aeons & aeons ago I made a stick vase/lantern. It still makes me smile Smiley when I look at it. But it's all on its own one side of the landing whilst the other side looks bare Sad.

I don't have sufficient prunings to make another similar one, so I had to think of something else. Undecided

Well, I use a lot of string in the garden, maybe one of those string vase things would be appropriate. So I tried it. Wink Easy enough to do, especially because I chose a very straight sided jar.

It's nice, but doesn't feel finished yet. It needs some ornamentation, but I haven't decided what yet. Maybe something to bring outside in?

I am glad you posted this! It is simple and elegant... just what I am looking for to put in my garden. I like to have cut flowers stuck in the beds, in with the tomatoes and broccoli. nice job. I wonder if a pattern of acorn tops glued on might look nice.

Actually, having had it for a while now, I find it looks it's best full of marigolds and anything I tried to decorate it with just looked bitty and contrived. How I love garden flowers inside!

I'm a girly girl, so my calves are HUGE. WEEEELLL. Now I've gone and done it LOL
I bought these awesome boots, but my feet would not fit. So after consulting a shoe smith (hehehe I'm Finnish. what's the word? Cheesy) she said that I just needed a wider flap and I could use my local *shoesmith* to make them all better, she said her pay would be 50 euros. She is too far away for me to use. So since I don't trust any *shoesmiths* in my area, I decided to do it myself :DDDDDDD

Firms look to oil shale

Companies see solution to energy crisis in Northwest Colorado

As home to one of the largest oil shale deposits in the world, Northwest Colorado stands to reap the greatest benefit from technological advances that could make mining the rock profitable.

At a time when oil demand is rising and supply is peaking, oil shale is looking increasingly attractive to energy companies. So much so that six companies submitted 20 proposals for the chance to be the first to mine oil shale on public lands.

The Bureau of Land Management announced Tuesday it selected eight proposals for continued consideration to conduct research of oil shale development on public lands.

Shell Frontier Oil & Gas submitted proposals for three parcels in Rio Blanco County. The company has been conducting small-scale research since 1996 on land it owns in Rio Blanco County.

On Tuesday, a Shell representative spoke to more than 40 area business leaders about the company's research during a luncheon sponsored by the Craig/Moffat County Economic Development Partnership.

The company is ready to test its research in a large-scale project.

"If their project happens, there will be impacts all over Northwest Colorado," said Tim Gibbs, director of the partnership.

The partnership's goal is to invite speakers on topics affecting economic development.

Jill Davis, a spokeswoman for Shell Exploration and Production, was the first such speaker.

Patented process

Davis said the company is prepared to move into the next phase of a research project it launched nine years ago in Rio Blanco County.

The difficult process of extracting oil from shale has long hampered its viability as an energy source in the United States.

The Mahogany Research Project tests a process Shell patented, which uses steady heat to separate oil and gas from shale while it is in the ground. The process partially refines the oil and gas, significantly reducing the cost of preparing fuel products for market.

The process is a big change from the days when energy companies strip-mined the shale and extracted a tar-like substance that required significant processing before it could be used, Davis said.

"We're just learning how to do it right, and doing it right is the key," she said.

Shell also is experimenting with a process to protect groundwater during extraction.

In the simplest terms, the company freezes the water surrounding the work site into a wall, which blocks contaminated groundwater from flowing in or out.

After extraction is complete, the hole is flushed to ensure that no residue remains, and the freezewall is thawed.

Although the concept is a simple one, it can take 10 years to slowly heat the shale to the temperature required to release the oil and gas, build the freezewall and to extract the product, Davis said.

Prime resources

Although Shell holds the title to 22,000 acres of private land in Colorado, prime resources are on federal land, Davis said.

If Shell were selected to conduct research on BLM land, the project probably would begin in 2007 and would take 13 years. Shell has requested leases on three 160-acre BLM parcels in Rio Blanco County.

Gibbs said it would be the largest project in Colorado history. Its success could launch Shell into a full-scale extraction project in the Green River Basin, Davis said.

Big opportunities

"There are big opportunities here," Gibbs said. "We have several businesses that cater to the energy industry. There will definitely be an effect here, kind of 'the rising tide raises all boats' concept."

Gibbs said if the project moves forward, there will be a need for many trained employees. But company officials say it's too early to offer employment projections for the project.

The United States' oil shale reserves match what the rest of the world has combined, and Colorado boasts the most oil shale in the United States.

Shell's intent is to mine oil shale until renewable resources can provide a stable supply of energy, Davis said. Shell has predicted that will occur in about 2050.

'Energy intense'

Energy industry observers es----timate that 1,000 billion barrels of oil are available from shale reserves, exceeding the 50 billion barrels of crude oil remaining in the United States.

Using new technology, ex----tracting oil and gas in shale is economically viable as well as environmentally friendly, Davis said.

Environmentalists have ex------pressed concern about oil shale extraction, including the energy it takes and possible damage to habitat.

Davis on Wednesday said it takes one unit of energy to extract three units of energy from oil shale. That's taking into account the amount of energy it takes to mine coal, turn it into electricity and use it to extract oil and gas from shale. Considering just the energy it takes to extract the minerals, Davis said one unit of energy can net as many as eight.

"We do acknowledge it is energy intense; however, we get a lot more out of the ground than we put in," Davis said.

Former doctor at University of Michigan Hospital sentenced in child porn case

A former resident physician at the University of Michigan Hospital has been sentenced to three years in prison in a child pornography case that revealed a delay in crime reporting.

The case of Stephen Jenson showed a six-month delay in 2011 in reporting to police the discovery of suspected child pornography on a computer flash drive in a UM Hospital lounge. The school later made changes to improve safety.

The Michigan Daily and reported that Jenson was sentenced Thursday in U.S. District Court in Detroit on a charge of possession of child pornography.

An investigation determined that a hospital attorney aware of the discovery in May 2011 decided after a month that evidence was insufficient to tell police. Police were notified in November 2011. Charges first were brought against Jenson in December 2011.

Michigan gets U.S. center for investor immigration

LANSING — Gov. Rick Snyder said the federal government has approved his request for Michigan to host a center aimed at attracting foreign investors to create jobs and live in the United States.

The center comes under the Immigrant Investor Program, known as EB-5. Congress created it in 1990 to stimulate the economy through immigration by investors.

Snyder said Wednesday that U.S. Customs and Immigration Services has given expedited approval to creation of an EB-5 Regional Center in Michigan. He said it will be part of the Michigan Community Development Corp. and staffed with Michigan State Housing Development Authority personnel.

Vermont has the only other such center.

Snyder's office says the center will help "connect eligible foreign investors with potential development projects."
